I know you can be. I am as well. It always felt like we didn't get to do much and never explore much outside of whenever SM did a show with all the idols at the company. Aww, I'm glad it happen though and the he took the time to call you even. I can imagine it was. I am as well and I love seeing more people taking the time to listen to your music. Definitely opens up more opportunities as well. It really is. I love moments like that. I'll be sure to! We're gonna be touring in Asia at the moment so crossing my fingers we'll add places in Europe and North America as well. You know I'd be all for you being at a show.

I actually noticed that. You guys deserve a lot more than what you've been getting and I hope that you guys can do a whole lot more than you've been able to. People I admire listen to my music and I think that's what they call a surreal moment. He was excited to talk to me but on the inside, I was kinda freaking out that someone of his status was fan-boying so hard for me, someone that isn't as well known. Nonetheless, I appreciated it. I have my fingers crossed for you! you guys deserve to tour outside of our continent. I'll definitely make it to a show, you don't have to worry about that. The Tokyo or Bangkok stop would be nice to see you guys at.

I get that and I make sure to avoid arguing whenever possible. Me too. Plus watching each other's body language helps a ton when one of us aren't in a good mood. Aww, I know you don't make me upset at all really. I know if you did, I'd let you know so we can figure it out. It happens too often and it's so funny whenever one of us just says exactly what we are thinking. I know you and the girls won't judge the odd things I say even if I try to keep them to myself. They know and I'm sure they'd come by again to hang out. I mean I'm all for any kind of pet. There's just something about cats and dogs that I always gravitate to.

Exactly. It's pretty easy to tell when you're mad or upset, you get real quiet and don't want to speak at first, at least not until you gather all your thoughts properly. That's why I tend to let you be until you're ready to talk and tell me what's wrong. I will always choose to communicate and figure things out before anything else. I say a lot of odd things too, so I am no one to judge. I think a cat would be nice to have. We can maybe start looking once you guys are finished travelling? I don't want to stress you out with it when you've got a lot of things to focus on.

Ever since finishing up on my short stint of opening for Dua Lipa - and I still don't understand how that is my life cause what do you mean I get to perform in Wembley and for one of the biggest pop stars... I've been at home with my cat and doom scrolling on TikTok. I have to say that I don't understand a lot of the trends going on there. The one with the dream wedding line up I scroll right on by cause I don't understand.. most of them are just doing a normal line up. Anyways - are there any internet trends you wish would just.. go away? @hfrpstarters

That's such a huge accomplishment to have! Congratulations on that. I can only imagine that you're feeling like you're on cloud nine. Tik Tok is such an interesting place to be, especially at night when you're having troubles sleeping. I think the one trend I'd probably have go away is the Hear Me Out cake trend, some of it is pretty freaky. Seeing what some of the people put on theirs can be disturbing, not gonna lie. One chose Nala from The Lion King and I haven't been able to shake that cause the fuck? that's a bit outlandish, isn't it? Worrying, too.

I mean it seems like it. I'm glad to be more busy since it's usually not the norm for us. I already look forward to it! I'll make sure to free up my schedule as well. Might have to be after our tour dates and then we can hang out together. Oh! That's so cool! I did see that he was a fan as well. He definitely loves getting to talk about you. Oh? I'm sure he'll love that and you'll make his day. Thanks! I hope it happens for us. I know our fans in the states always talk about how they wanna see us tour there as WayV so hoping that happens for us.

I can be patient! I'm really glad that you guys are getting to do things. Being booked and busy is always a good sign. I was pretty flattered, actually. I wasn't expecting anyone to call me that day and tell me how much my music means to them. It was nice to hear, though. Makes me feel seen. Hopefully! I'm just more so amazed that I'm on a lot of peoples' radars. People I'm a fan of, are a fan of me. It's a full-circle moment or whatever they call it. You guys deserve it! Let me know what your schedule is looking like and I'll even come out to a show if I can!

I couldn't agree more. I'd much rather do that plus I've never liked arguing and would rather avoid it. I couldn't agree more and it makes it so any misunderstanding are cleared up right away. I do and I can't help it at times it seems. I do enjoy the reactions I get when I say out there things. I've heard the out there things you say and it makes me laugh a bit. I know and I appreciate it. Aww, I'll appreciate it and you'll have the girls gushing over how cute they think we are. And your compliments will always make me blush. Hmm, I don't mind adopting a pet. Always up for having more pets around our home.

Me too. Plus, arguing is definitely one of those triggers that I have. That's why I always thin before I react. I don't want to make situations worse. I also really don't like seeing you upset either so the idea of me being the cause of why you're upset for any reason unsettles me. Yeah, I think about a lot of questionable things and sometimes those meant to be silent wonders, fall right from my mouth. The girls are great to be around, too. They know they are welcome over whenever, right? Would you ever want a different kind of pet? Something that isn't a cat or a dog?

So, I woke up this morning and went for a run as I always do. I made it to the beach and saw some people doing some surfing. So, it just reminding me just how lucky I am to have the career as well as the lifestyle I get to have. Yes, I may have earned it but it's something I'm very grateful for it. Anyways, I'm Cody. How's your day going? @hfrpstarters

I wish I could motivate myself to run in the mornings. I tried a few times in the past but waking up early to run wasn't something I seemed to enjoy. I get what you mean though. I get like that every so often. I think about how lucky I am to live the life that I do. I think earning it makes a person feel even that much more grateful. I'm Christian but people call me Ian, feel free to call me that as well. My day is going pretty well! How is yours going?

I'm ready for it to happen! Whenever we both aren't too busy, we gotta take the chance to hang out. Oh? I sure she appreciates it. I can imagine she's busy with everything she has been doing. I mean she is for sure but I do love see more idols getting into your music or showing that they are fans of you as well. Life has been good. We announced a tour so I'm crossing my fingers that we get to go to places overseas.

I think you might be a little more busy than I am when it comes down to it but I'm able to free some of my schedule up when we're both in Seoul! Let me know when it would work for you and I can do the same. Me too! I was really surprised when I got a call from one of the ATEEZ members, Seonghwa. He was doing a show and was talking about how much he loves my stuff and I was touched. I plan to treat him for a meal at some point. I have my fingers crossed for you! Going overseas is always great. I've enjoyed it every single time.

We really are which I'm glad for. Makes it so we don't have big arguments about anything at all. Of course. It wouldn't be right in my eyes otherwise. No relationship is picture perfect. I know you wouldn't and neither would I even if I sometimes say some wild things at times. It really hasn't which I appreciate. Yeah? Plus you tease me right back as well which I love. Always love having you as my number one supporter, my love. I know but I feel the fans do their best with my songs when I release them. I do love them showing all the support to my acting career. You're welcome, handsome. You know I'll forever compliment you.

For me, I don't see a point in letting it get to arguments. I'd rather us communicate with one another if something is wrong or if we're bothered by something. Makes it a whole lot more easier when we just avoid the drama and be upfront. That's true. You do sometimes have a tendency to say wild things but I really do think I'm the same way. I'll say things every now and then that make me second guess myself. I will always be your number one supporter and you can count on that. Even when I can't be there, you best believe I'll be sending gifts. That goes both ways. I'll never run out of compliments when it comes to you. Question... what do you think about adopting a pet?

I very much am that person that'll turn to the "moon phases" to understand why i'm feeling the way i am for pretty much….a lot of things, especially in this phase of my life. That being said, i managed to lose my glasses twice this week, forget my car keys, be late to a script reading and then unfortunately leave my newly bought ice coffee on the roof of my car as i drove off. I'm blaming the moon for this frazzled energy, and i need clarity if anyone else seem's to be caught in this semi chaotic cosmic whirlwind or i'm just being picked on, as much as i know come's a fresh beginning with a recent full moon...and if you don't believe in the woo woo side of it all ? i envy you. not even my crystal's can help me now. @hfrpstarters

That reminds me of my mum, honestly. She is very in tune with all of those things. She also is one of those people that reminds everyone when the earth is in retrograde or some shit like that -- do I know what it means? no. I just take her word for it. I do kind of believe in it all because it does make sense to me at times. With the crystals, my mum is always buying them and displaying them. She uses different ones for different things and even carries them in her bags. I think they're pretty but I can never remember what any of them mean.

I feel we need to hang out more often. I see you once in awhile but I feel that's not enough. What's been going on with you though? Catch me up! @dprivn

You're absolutely right! I see you every so often but it would be nice to hangout with you properly and catch up on life. I've been working quite a bit in the studio, holding down the fort while the wife does what she needs to for her own work as well. We both stay busy but I'm not afraid to admit, and I'm man enough to admit that she's the breadwinner. What about you? How has life been?

i want to watch all the movies and tv series over the next few days and into the weekend. lately life has been going constantly and i'm taking some me time to just sit down, watch something and eat my weight in junk food. so, that means i'm gonna need y'all to suggest new shows and tv series to me. something fun, something scary, something thrilling. all options are needed and wanted. so hit me with your best and cringiest!

I'm terrible when it comes to suggesting TV shows because my mind is still stuck on the older ones like Shameless, Criminal Minds, House, shows like that. I tend to rewatch them but I also learned that rewatching things is like a comfort thing, which does make sense to me. However, I did recently get into Ginny & Georgia. What kind of junk food do you usually go for? I have a long list that I could probably give you for that as well.

I don't either. I don't think I could ever fight with you like that. Our little arguments are fine and I expect them. Plus we do make up quite quickly right after. Yeah? I'm glad you do cause I don't think I'd be able to stop. It's apart of my love language at this point. I like it as well. Makes our relationship much more fun. I'll appreciate it. Touring is always a lot but I look forward to seeing the fans again alongside the girls. You did and I do love your black hair but blond looks great on you.

I think we're pretty good at communication when it comes to those things. I do too, not everything is picture perfect but I'd never say or do anything to jeopardize what we have, you know? it's never anything we haven't been able to talk out. I adore your love language. I think the teasing is one of my favorite things. I always feel so proud of you when you're working on projects. I wish people knew just how hard you dedicate yourself to these things. Thank you, beauty. I always love compliments from you.

Well, next week I'm going to turn the big 39, and I know you're thinking, "Rob, 39 isn't a milestone birthday!" And I know that it isn't, but it's one year closer to 40 and I'm not sure how I feel about that. Where has all the time gone that I'm so close to being 40 is the question. It feels like just yesterday I was the teenage heartthrob, which I hope you know I'm rolling my eyes right now at saying that. Because honestly, who came up with the term heartthrob? It's such a funny word. Anyway, I'm off topic. I'm getting old, mates! And it's showing too, because before my daughter went on holiday with her mum, I was playing with her on the floor, and when I got up to get her something, my whole body creaked like a used floorboard, and it's like, when did I become creaky? Is it my time to be put to pasture? Or am I just being dramatic? @hfrpstarters

That's fair. A lot of people don't know how to deal with certain milestone ages. I remember when I turned 30 a few years ago, I started freaking out a little bit. It was kind of silly now that I think about it but at the time, I felt like time was slipping through my fingers and that I should have lived life more than I did again, super silly but it's something you can't help. Ohh, I remember when you were known as such. I don't think there was a single teenage girl in Sydney that wasn't obsessed with you or Taylor Lautner. Even now, people still watch the movies. I caught my mum watching one of them a few months back. You're only as old as you feel, mate! At least that's what I've come to tell myself. Nah, I sometimes feel my knees crack when I stand up and it's the most humbling experience, really.

it's eurovision week and i gotta say, this has been the first year since we won that i've checked back in with the scene and damn, i kind of miss the energy in that arena. being in europe now for work, it's literally the only thing anyone wants to talk to me about and ugh, the temptation to try getting tickets to see the grande finale is real. is anyone else looking forward to watching? or you part of the camp that doesn't care or know anything about it? for us europeans, it's our gay olympics and superbowl combined tbh. if you're watching, who are you rooting for this year? i'm team serving kant. or ich komme. 😏 / @hfrpstarters

I don't think I've ever watched it before. I've seen clips of it online each time it happens but that's about it. I'd definitely like to learn more about it all, though! I think one of the clips went viral last year as well, though I could be wrong. It's also not that I don't care to know about it. I just don't know where to even begin, honestly. How would you recommend that I get into it? Because I have no idea where to start.

I think it's a nice way to temporarily fix things but there has to be a better way. I work out and then I write in my journal to get things when i really need them to be. I get it, I don't recommend some things that I do too. I haven't but now I am interested in what it tastes like.

Writing in a journal definitely can help. I kinda do the same thing when it comes to writing lyrics. I like to find a quiet place and write to my hearts content. Pistachio ice cream has a really creamy but savoury flavour while still being sweet. I've had it in gelato form and it's just as good, maybe even better.

I'm forever grateful that we don't fight like that. I'd feel sad if we did. I get that and I make sure to take that into consideration much more. I know you do and I don't mind it too much usually. I make sure to tease you right back. I know I might be a bit stressed soon with going on tour again but I'm excited as well. I have. I know I kept staring a bit after you dyed it but I do enjoy seeing you with something different.

Me too. I don't have the energy to fight like that with anyone, especially you. I much prefer the little arguments where we can kiss and makeup, and all is well. You do manage to tease me right back, but I enjoy it, honestly. I like that we can be playful with one another when it comes down to it. You know I'll do what I can to help you relax. I felt like a new person after dying my hair. I've had black hair for such a long time, but I do like the change.

i've been getting myself ready for football training and with about three months until i have to get back into the gym and field, i need some things to do. i see everyone is going on tour and i need to go see a few folks. what are your summer plans? @hfrpstarters

Do you always look forward to the football season? Or do you sometimes wish you had a bit more of a break? My tour ended recently, so I'm in the same boat as you, looking to see who I can go support as well. Though for some people's shows, I have to travel a distance. Some of my favourite artists don't come over here to Seoul for some reason.
