GD: I can’t really say that there are specific plans yet. But if there’s a project where we can really pour our passion into, we’ll try our best to do it.
Before I even realized, empty soju bottles were filling up the side of the table and GD was busy offering drink to everyone. He’s a Leo who is bright, leader-like and spritely and he is the type to turn an awkward, calm atmosphere into an energetic atmosphere. Taeyang who doesn’t enjoy drinking is reserved but has an explosive energy stored inside him. He’s a Taurus and he has an outstanding and critical talent. GD and Taeyang who have been together for over 10 years as hip-hop kids, as YG trainees and as friends believe in their special senses. GD: “Sometimes Youngbae goes ‘Ah, I feel like something is going to happen. Let’s be careful.’ and when he says that, you really have to be careful. He’s like a psychic and he has that ability to sense those things.” Taeyang: “When there’s a girl that we’ve never seen before at some place, Jiyong would ask me, ‘What do you think about that girl?’. His ‘senses’ are the most useful at times like those. (Laughs)” Before they left to Paris, I was excited to hear that they might promote as a unit this year. If GD & TOP are like the cool kids who know how to really enjoy a party, GD & Taeyang will be like the hip-hop kids bringing back the golden era of hip hop. Taeyang: “There were plans but I don’t really know anymore. I think it’ll probably be delayed a little.” GD: “We haven’t really talked about it seriously yet but there is something certain about it. I’m somewhat certain that Youngbae is thinking the same thing as me as well.” These two had to leave, leaving us with curiosities about this new unit. They had to leave because Hedi Slimane has invited them to his after party. The night has just begun for these two guys who know how to party. And those nights and the days they spent in Paris will be shown in the photobook that will be released in May by YG.
