'I feel like people can be united under music no matter what country you go to. When I perform in another country. The local people there sing along to my song in Korean.

'It's a really exciting and heartfelt feeling. I think those aspects apply to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.'

Lee Hee-Beom, president of PyeongChang 2018 Organizing Committee, says Taeyang will help encourage younger fans to get involved.
