On the October 31 episode of JTBC talk show “Abnormal Summit,” Kangta makes an appearance as the weekly representative for South Korea.

During the show, Kangta is asked by Sung Si Kyung, “Are there any hoobaes (junior artists/groups) that make you think, ‘Wow, this hoobae is something else?'”

Kangta responds, “Yes, I felt that way about this hoobae since long ago, but these days, they are even more marvelous.”

When asked who he is referring to, Kangta surprisingly names a non-SM artist, BIGBANG.

He explains, “Rather than losing steam [as they progress], they gain even more. There aren’t actually many instances like this. In our country, at least in idol history, I think it’s the first time [that an idol group has gotten more popular over time].”

Jeon Hyun Moo jokes, “I thought you would name an SM [artist], but you [responded] quite conscientiously.”

Do you agree with Kangta’s comments?

The two artists are known to have high praises for each other’s work even before they first met in 2014, with G-Dragon calling Pharrell Williams “the artist that I want to work with the most,” and Pharrell Williams mentioning him and artist Mina Kwon on Twitter in 2013. He had wrote, “These two are amazing talents. Korean art is vast and next level. Time to collab.”

G-Dragon’s fellow BIGBANG group mate T.O.P also shared a shot of Pharrell Williams to his Instagram, but has since removed it.

What do you think these talented guys were working on together?
