"I didn't intend to be there, but I was working in a studio when I heard from someone that a girl from Thailand came to the audition. I was like, " Ah, really." Then, I went down on my way home when I passed by the room she was in, so I decided to watch it together.
She was so young back then, I don't remember exactly, but I think she was in elementary or middle school? I kind of felt bad, knowing that she was alone in a country she wasn't even familiar with. She came from Thailand just for the audition, you know!"
Taeyang continued that he had a realization after hearing Lisa sing her audition piece, "Baby" by Justin Bieber, stating:
"Lisa sounds amazing at the time. She's also pretty. I thought, 'This girl's going to dominate the business in the future."
Indeed, Taeyang isn't wrong when he claimed that Lisa's going to make it big someday!
Thus, Taeyang emphasized the significance of their collaboration song and exclaimed how happy he is to witness Lisa's success from when she was only a little girl.
