Damn I hope you do sometime soon take some time for yourself?

[tcemvns]

"I'm crossing my fingers that we do. Just released new music with my group so there's no slowing down to take a break at the moment. Maybe after that I will since I'd love to relax a bit."

[jelenagi]

now that my daughter is a little bit older, i've really started making an active effort in making summer memories with her. not that i wasn't before this year but she was still a bit too young to be going all out. however, this year? this year she's ready. i've got it all planned out and while i know she's not going to follow the whole itinerary, i'm still looking forward to sunny beaches and exploring the world with my baby. if you need me, i'll be knee deep in the sand with a cup of gelato in hand, being bossed around by a 4 year old. do you have any summer traditions that you try to keep to? or are you more of a spontaneous, see where the day takes you type of person? either way, i want to hear allll about what you've got planned for this summer season. / @hfrpstarters

[tcemvns]

"Oh, that's so exciting. I'm sure she's gonna love all of it and remember it all for years to come. Honestly, I have a few things I like during the summer but usually I'm too busy to with work to do much. I'm always all for traveling and getting the chance to see the beach if I can. Though I wanna see friends during the summer if I can though they might be busy themselves so we'll see."

[fameheughan]

Fair I mean it be a pretty spread in a magazine, I can even appreciate the notion of that. I mean when you are a idol at the height of it man definitely feels like that

[tcemvns]

"It really would be honestly and I feel so many would be in awe. They do really nice spreads in magazines. True and it never feels like anything is stopping. I feel I've been busier than ever after my two year hiatus back in 2021."

[oliviagails]

i agree. even with some companies being better, it would be way safer if they put an age restriction on all companies. being in the industry so young can be super fucking damaging but you and i both know that. think you'd ever pursue a normal life in the future or are you locked in for good?

[tcemvns]

"They really should. I feel the age being upped to even 18 would be better instead of letting young children sign onto a company. It really can be and I've seen way too many young idols not know how to handle the intensity of the fans that put a ton of pressure on them just like the company. I feel I'd love to have a normal life one day but I love performing a lot so I feel I'll be doing this for awhile still."

[fameheughan]

Im just surprised but I welcome it more than anything. It gets easier the longer you live in it, I guess that is kind of obvious. Thats true that is very much a truth of our businesses

[tcemvns]

"I get that but it would be cool to see the castle you live in. True. I feel that with those huge mansions that people buy that has so many rooms in them. Exactly and there's no plans to change careers or leave at all. I'm all in with being an idol."

[oliviagails]

how young are they? is there any age limit to debuting or no? it's crazy because the moment someone suspects they can make money off you, they've got your ass in the studio overworking while they benefit from it. fourteen? christ, that's so young. have you been working since then?

[tcemvns]

"It depends it seems. I've seen people as young as I was when they debuted. Sometimes it doesn't feel like there is an age limit and there needs to be. Though some companies are better than others with the age of their idols when they finally debut. They really do and it sucks honestly. I have been. I experienced so many different things during that age and there were times I wanted to cry and leave to be a normal kid."

[fameheughan]

Im getting a lot of self invite from friends now to see it. I dont mind Ill happily show it off and invite everyone. Thats a very true statement in scotland we have all sizes of castles and some are right down to a old fort and some have the palatial mansions and lands. You are so right on the difference. AH I love that kind of story, something that took you on a journey you couldnt imagine before

[tcemvns]

"Seems everyone wants to see it. It would be great to do and I know everyone would love to see every part of it that they can. So makes to have one that suits what you want. I can't imagine being in a big castle. Feel I'd get lost in it. It really was and I'm glad I get to do all this as my job. I wouldn't have gotten to travel as much as I do if I didn't stick with it."

[fameheughan]

I don't know, you may know, you may not but Dakota and I got a castle this year. I made sure it checked every last box for her and as well me. I still getting use to it, but Im liking calling myself the lord of the manor. You might think this is very braggard of me and you are right but I swear there is a point. I grew up on the grounds of a abandoned castle with my single mom and brother, barely meeting ends meet. Now my life has come truly full circle. Beautiful and talented wife and well the most beautiful little one. Anything you've played the long game on? Whether it's a goal or something that came full circle in your life?

@hfrpstarters

[tcemvns]

"Oh! A castle? That's so cool that you got one. Makes me wanna see it myself. I mean I get it and I'm glad you got the chance to get a castle after everything. Though I feel a castle is a lot to decorate depending on how big it is. For me, it has to be music. I've performed for so long and it has changed my life in so many ways. I mean I know it wasn't something I expected to be doing at a young age but I love that it's brought me so many different opportunities I would have never gotten before like getting to do a solo tour."

[pcachykccn]

you are one hundred percent, good sir. i do enjoy being booked and busy. there is so much already planned for this year and i cannot wait to get everything started. hell yeah, it's pretty awesome and i'm pretty excited about it. we've picked a month and a date so there's that. we still have so much more to plan. how did your tour go? we just announced our upcoming tour not too long ago so we have until august until we get back on the road. hey that sounds like a fun time though. getting to do music with each other after spending time apart.

[tcemvns]

"It's all gonna be amazing, I already know it. I can imagine it's gonna be great for you being able to be on Broadway. I'm sure you'll have fans coming to show support for you there. That's great though! I know picking a month for a wedding can be a process of it's own. My tour went well. It was fun performing for the fans and getting to talk to them. I mean, it definitely gives you plenty of time to prepare for it. I look forward to it all! I always miss my group members when we are apart so I'm eager to put out music together again."

[oliviagails]

sixteen, unfortunately. oh man, way to make me sad about our childhoods. little babies thrust into the spotlight far too soon. i think it's worth it when you get to do what you love, but it's a hard industry. i remember adults trying to beef with me when i was sixteen over stupid shit like not smiling enough or not giving grown men enough praise for stealing my songs. it's all so rough and i cringe when i think back on it now. how old were you when you started?

[tcemvns]

"Sorry, it's just been on my mind especially with seeing how young people are over here when they debut with a group. Yup with not too much media training at all. It's scary especially when you don't understand the pressure the industry puts on you at that age. That sounds horrible. Definitely not something someone at sixteen should be dealing with. I dealt with so many things things and felt I had to grow up so fast at times. I remember calling my mom to tell my company not to debut me yet. I was fourteen when I started and it was rough."

[pcachykccn]

can you believe we're only in march and i'm already booked and busy for a good few months? i've been starring on broadway again for the last five years, along with working on so much with my brothers. i cannot even begin to explain how excited i am to get more into the year. not to mention, selena and i have a date set for our wedding, but we still have a lot to plan and i can't wait to get the rest of the year started. how are you all doing so far? anything big happening to you? @hfrpstarters

[tcemvns]

"Being booked and busy is much better than being bored though. Broadway and new stuff with your brothers? That's so exciting and I already know it will all go over well. How much of the wedding do you both have planned so far? I've heard it takes a lot of work to get a wedding exactly how you envision it. I'm doing good. Had my own tour and waiting to do music with my group members after one of them is back from their own tour."

[jrbykim]

My debut solo album is finally out tomorrow and I'm so nervous! Like, I'm excited but the anticipation is making those nerves bubble up. If you could do me a solid and go listen to it when it drops tomorrow, I'd be so grateful. I promise it's good! If it's not, you can yell at me. Once this is out in the world, it's prep time for the Blackpink tour! It's always go, go, go over here. What's everyone else's plans for the Summer? Other than attending a Blackpink concert @hfrpstarters

[tcemvns]

"The album is amazing. You should definitely be proud of it and I can tell the fans love it as well. I've made sure to listen to it and show my support. Oh! That's exciting. Hope tour goes well for all of you and that you get to enjoy exploring a bit as well between shows if possible. Well, I know we'll be having a comeback once Onew is back from his own tour so I may be pretty busy."

[hqsteinfeld-deactivated20260529]

Well that's good to hear! I've been a couple times, but it was for work though. I loved being there without having to worry about work for a few days. I loved everything and didn't get around to do everything I wanted to so I'm going to have to go back for those things.

[tcemvns]

"I get that. I always love going to places outside of touring to explore a bit more than I get the chance to. Not having to worry about work while we were there was nice. You definitely should and I honestly wanna do the same. I'd love to explore a bit more and see what else I can find around Australia."

[kwnjiyng]

Having a comeback after seven years isn't for the faint hearted, let me tell you. I forgot just how much went into album promotions and concert planning. It doesn't help that time isn't kind and it's definitely harder to push through being tired in rehearsals like it used to be. All that being said, I'm excited to be back, I'm looking forward to hitting the road again soon and going to places I haven't been in a long time. What's everyone else up to these days? @hfrpstarters

[tcemvns]

"Oh completely. It's always hard, It's like going through training all over again. Especially if you haven't been doing it continually like you used to do. We're really excited to have you back, I feel like the industry needs someone like you. You aren't afraid to challenge the social norms, it's kind of fun, to be honest. Ah, we're getting ready to have a group comeback in May after Jinki gets back from his USA tour. It'll be fun I think, even with the challenges that will arise."

[stokesc]

In all honesty, Chase had never imagined he'd connect with someone as quickly as he had with Taemin. There was just something about the other male that pulled Chase in, and now that they were together, well, the actor would admit that he was pretty happy. When they had talked about spending time together, Chase had known it would be limited because Taemin was on tour. But then he'd gotten the bright idea that maybe he could follow Taemin on tour for a little while, since he didn't have to be in South Carolina until sometime in April to start filming. So that's what happened, and soon Chase found himself in Germany teasing the other male about being his groupie. And he'd admit that he was really looking forward to the show that Taemin would be putting on because he really wanted to see his boyfriend in his element. Which is why he wanted to watch from the crowd and not from backstage, and honestly, he was glad he did with the performance that Taemin put on.

His eyes never left Taemin the whole time he was on stage, he couldn't pull them away even if he tried. Chase would admit to raising his brow a couple of times at the moves that Taemin did, wondering if he was doing that on purpose to tease him, and honestly, Chase had a feeling that he was. Part of him wasn't sure how he felt about other people seeing him being teased like that either, though Chase had never really been one that could be jealous, however, so this was a new feeling for him. But even with that, Chase really enjoyed the show, so when it was over and he got taken back to Taemin's dressing room, he was pretty happy, and he was happy to see how excited Taemin was. "Hey," he stated softly when Taemin said hi to him and met the others smiles with one of his own. "Oh, it was good, and you did very well. I really loved watching you up there," Chase stated honestly and just gave the other male a soft smile, saying he valued his opinion. And when Taemin stopped and didn't move any closer to him, Chase reached out and wrapped an arm around the other male and pulled him in close. "I loved your moves, though I got a feeling you were teasing me out there. Is that true?" He lifted a brow as he asked the question, curious to see what Taemin would say.

[tcemvns]

Taemin easily lit up at the compliments. He always liked compliments, though this one he enjoyed even more. Though the boy wanted to tease Chase a bit, he was quickly moved closer and into his arms. Taemin couldn't help but stick his tongue out. Even though he knew Chase was stronger than him, he still wanted to believe he was. Yet even still, Taemin settled himself easily into the other male's lap, finding that he fit there almost like a puzzle piece. It was quite comforting, even if the boy wouldn't admit that. "Mm.." Should he admit to it? It was plainly obvious, even the audience could tell that he was putting on more of a show than normal. Even if he was to deny it, he was sure that the secret was already uncovered.

"Perhaps.." he giggled, resting his head against Chase's shoulder. Even though Taemin was used to the dances that he did, it didn't stop the soreness that was felt after each concert. "The fans sure enjoyed it though, did you?" Grabbing gently for Chase's hand, he soon slid it down until it was resting against his hips. "This is your fault you know, I wanted to show you how good I was. I guess even I can overdo it sometimes." Humming softly, Taemin already knew that he could be in for something like a punishment for being a tease, Maybe part of him was even curious what a punishment would look like coming from Chase. "I'm willing to accept my punishment for it, I promise. However, can you make me a bubble bath afterward?" As it could potentially help with some of his hip pain that was going on. "We can take one together, the hotel tub is pretty big.."
