Regarding his trademark blonde hairstyle, the singer and variety star stated, "I once dyed it black, but no one was able to recognize me.  It was to the point I wondered, 'Wow, how could they not recognize me like this?'  It exhausted my energy.  I even thought, 'I worked so hard!'  It's like my blonde hair rather than my face became popular."

When asked what he would like right now, Kangnam said, "I really like trying new things. My immediate goal is to do a good job at an offer I got, but if I get the chance later, I want to try going overseas.  I'm dreaming on advancing overseas.  Asia is nice, too, but somewhere completely foreign like America!"

Good luck on those ventures.  Do you think he'd do well in America?
