“Bigbang—Us, us five. Our personalities were maybe too divergent. But, before anyone realized, even our images of us crying came to resemble one another’s. Let us not change and forever give all our efforts; let’s be a group that people’s ears and minds would remember after 10 years, after 20 years. Let’s be that kind of people. I love you.”
— TOP to GD, Daesung, Seungri, and Taeyang (June 17, 2007).
“The world wasn’t warm to the five young, unknowing boys. It was you who let us transform from boys into men. It was you who trusted, endeared, and loved us. Was it a coincidence, that we met? Maybe it was a coincidence—then I thank the Lord. Even among our fatigues, we could get up listening your words; even among our worries, we could smile at the thought of you.”
— G-Dragon to VIP (Elle Magazine, September 2011)
“If there is nothing you can do, try to forget about it. There is nothing more foolish than regret.”

“the time passed and now we’re called ‘dongbangshinki’ and ‘jyj.’ but the reason we didn’t come up with a new name and used our initials instead is that we are working as jyj WITHIN dbsk, in essence. we didn’t ever think that we wished to get out of the shadow of dbsk. we are STILL dongbangshinki; we don’t like being called ex-members.”
— Jaejoong
“Maybe it’s an alone-trend, like a trend only for myself, but the trend this fall is SNSD-socks. I wear those striped socks like the ones SNSD wore a while back. I think it’s cute. Wait, I just like the socks! I have no other motives or anything…don’t judge me…”
— G-Dragon (OnStyle Channel StyleMagazine 110917)
“A song can’t change the world. But the song can change his three minutes. His three minutes can change his three hours. his three hours can change his three days. his three days can change his three months. his three months can change his three years. his three years can change his life. his life can change peoples’ lives. and people can change the world.”
— G-Dragon
