When asked to name a Korean artist who he thinks has a chance for success in America, Jeff Bernat replied, "I have about three Korean singers in mind, and the first is G-Dragon, who's already well loved. He's unique, different from anyone else in the world. I consider him the Pharrell Williams of Korea. The other is CL. She's already popular in America and known all over the world. The last is Dean. Dean always pursues new music geared towards the future."
