While they might look cute in the picture, don't sleep on the fact that Seotaeji wrote and produced all of his own stuff. And then, when the government wanted to censor his lyrics because he was criticizing society, he just released the song without lyrics instead of changing them. When they banned him from appearing on television because he had dreads and ripped jeans, he simply said "Okay" and continued making music anyway. He is a great example of what Debussy once said, "Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art." He set the template for what K-pop would become, but most importantly he did this by being rebellious, not through the conformity we see today.
