[Trans] TaeYang - HK TimeOut Interview

내맘대로 디스클레이머So, this is my translation of YB's recent interview with the HK TimeOut magazine. I am an old YB fan (since 2006) and have watched/read numerous interviews done by him, which makes me think that I know one or two things about YB's modus operandi. However, since I know that he chooses his words carefully (and because, as a dedicated fan, I am very protective of him) and this is an interview that must have been done through an interpreter, I need to make it clear that I cannot be completely sure how close I made it to what he originally said in Korean. So I added bits of my comments here and there as I felt necessary (the parts shown in green).

인터뷰: 태양
한국에서 힙합과 R&B 성장세를 보이고 있는 가운데, 태양 같은 아티스트들이 국내에서  아니라 해외에서도 성공을 거두고 있다. Arthur Tam 'R&B 왕자 태양을 만나 그의  월드 투어에 대해 얘기를 나누고 문화적 전용(cultural appropriation) 대한 그의 의견을 들어 보았다.
