A section of Tae's interview in The Rhythm:

Rhythm: You just won the Best Song of the Year award, your album sells are in the millions, and you just finish your concert at the Dome. What is your birthday wish for your 30th birthday, which is coming up in two days?

Tae: Uh... I don't think I am suppose to tell people my wishes.

Rhythm: Right! I forgot. You are a really private person. But I've got to ask you this. You were seen getting close to Tiffany at the award show's after party last week. Is there anything going on between you two?

Tae: No, Tiffany and I are friends. And I definitely was not present at the party.

Rhythm: You two are the hottest stars right now and lots of people are hoping that you two would date. Do you think there is this possiblity?

Tae: Um, why not? Tiffany is a really beautiful girl and a great singer as well.

Rhythm: You didn't sound too sincere, Tae. Have you ever dated since you debuted. I don't recall any news on your dating life at all.

Tae: I suppose not then. It's hard for me to date someone.

Rhythm: Well then let's jump to another topic. Could you elaborate your relationship with your manager?

Tae: Key is the best manager I could've wished for. In a way he completes me: outgoing, sociable, funny. He's my shield. I would not have made this far without his help.

Rhythm: Okay, I know you have been waiting for this- last question of the interview. Do you ever laugh? I don't think I've ever seen you laugh on broadcast.
