moonlight.

It will be but i'm sure we'll both be fine. I look forward to it as well. I know our kids will be adored by us and the rest of the members. Oh? I wouldn't mind that. We can see how much we stressed trying to get it all together. Hmm, I feel you might first for sure. It should be at all and we'll find one that is perfect for us. Outside of Seoul would be great. We can look at a few and see which one fits for us and our future children. Oh, I'm sure I will a few times since I know I'll forget they are there.

Oh, without a doubt. I'm looking forward to being able to take the kids everywhere with us. Not many kids get to experience the world at such a young age and I'm grateful that ours will have that opportunity. I think I'd want to keep an album of things like that. You have way more patience than I do when it comes down to it. Though I am pretty good with my hands so I have a tiny bit of faith. I've been looking for the last little while at places for sale. Should we look at what I found and narrow them down? That way we can make appointments to see the places.

I guess you could say that. Although I would say I did that nearly a year ago. Thank you. It really is a refreshing feeling. As for what is next, I have no idea. I will just have to see what comes my way. I am glad to hear you are doing good.

You're very welcome. That's fair. Sometimes it's always best to just wait and see what coms next. I know I get a little stressed when I know I have one thing right after the other 'cause my brain wonders when I'll have time to just breathe. My group is finally done our hiatus as well so we're all itching to get back to what we love to do.

So, I'm currently filming a movie in Wilmington, Illinois, real small town charm, you know? I had this moment the other day that honestly still makes me laugh. I was grabbing a coffee at a local diner when this older guy walks up and goes, “You an actor?” I said yeah. He squints at me and asks, “Have I seen you in anything?” So I start listing a few projects, thinking one might land. He just shakes his head and goes, “Never seen ‘em.” Then walks away. No shade, no follow-up, just absolute honesty. And I loved it. Nothing like a midwestern reality check to keep you grounded. You ever had someone unintentionally humble you in the funniest way? / @hfrpstarters

Small towns are always nice to see. I like being able to look around them once in a while, see what kind of things I can find. That is pretty funny, though. He was blunt with his reaction when he said that he's never heard of them. I probably would have been left standing there for a moment or two to collect myself. I've been humbled a few times in my career, most of it being while in America, honestly. Before KPOP got big internationally, loads of people would ask me who I was but then draw blanks when I'd explain. I don't have that issue anymore but I definitely won't forget.

It's good you do and I know I want us to have everything as perfect as we can with this. I can't either but I'm so excited. I does feel surreal and I'm so ready for us to finally be parents. I'll make sure they are still somewhere safe so we can use them for our babies. I mean, you aren't wrong there. It's gonna take us looking at the instructions so many times over. That's true. We'll have to get plenty of items though I feel our parents will help us out as well. Hmm, we might need to get a new place plus we'll get to baby proof everything as well.

Me too. It'll be a whole new learning curve for us, won't it? but it's something I highly look forward to experiencing with you. I kind of want to film us trying to build all of that stuff because it would be funny to be able to look back on. Out of the both of us, who do you see getting stressed out first? I might have to vote for myself on that one. House hunting shouldn't be too difficult. I was thinking maybe just outside of Seoul? There are some really nice places that way. We can make sure we find one that suits our next chapter in life. I'm counting on you tripping on the baby proofing items every now and then.

there isn't much i won't eat to be honest. i don't eat escargot either, i don't like milk with my cereal at all, it's not my thing. i also don't like caffeine anymore.

I tried it once and the texture just isn't for me. Really? Is that cause the milk makes it soggy so you'd just rather not? Me too! I gave up caffeine a while ago. What was the final straw for you to figure out you didn't like it anymore?

It is hard to believe that so much has happened in my life in this past year. I stepped away from one of the biggest jobs I have had in my life. That took some getting used to. Since then I have gone public with Harry (no idea how we managed to keep it secret so long), and received a knighthood. I said I was going to take a year off managing any team and it has almost been a year so who knows what is next for me. Has there been a time when so much has happened in the last year for you? How are you doing anyway?

@hfrpstarters

So, you're starting a new chapter, in a sense? It's sounds refreshing! I remember when I had something in my life shift like that. I will never forget the feeling it left as well. Congratulations on finally getting to be public. It's a refreshing feeling to be able to have. What are you hoping is next for you? Anything calling to you? As for me, within the last year I've been working hard, preparing to get back on a schedule. I'm doing pretty good overall, though. I thought I'd be more nervous going back to work but I'm handling it a lot better than I thought I would.

i did yes, the aquarium is always something like that i like to enjoy when i find one. yes, i am right there with you. i'll always try it once except some things that i just know solid fact i won't like.

What kind of things do you not like? There's not many things for me, other than a rare few. I'm not a picky person but there are some things that I just cannot stand. I tried to be fancy once and eat Escargot... didn't end well. The texture wasn't for me.

I am as well. Oh? I say we did it babe. We can ask them all the questions we need to make sure we go with the right choice with this. It will be worth it. I look forward to seeing who we choose and starting this next step of our lives. People will know that they are our children easily. I'm sure one or both of them will. Yeah? I'm glad you like them. You do get to see them a lot since I'm always smiling around you. I'm glad you like them. I'm sure they'd be perfect for our kids. Yeah? I mean I already know we'll both be frustrated making the cribs but I'm sure we figure it out just fine. Two is better than one in cases like that.

Exactly. I have a lot of questions lined up for them but I think it would be more concerning if I didn't. Me too. I kind of can't believe we're wanting to take this step. We've been together for so long and have talked about this stuff before, but to actually be starting to take the steps towards it feels surreal to me. I love those names, and they truly do sound perfect. Oh, for sure. I like to build things but building baby stuff is going to be a whole other level of confusion. We'd have to buy so many essential items, too. You think of current place is big enough for it all?

kahahns

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

I have always heard of people mentioning the moon phases but never really looked into it all, despite finding it to be pretty interesting. I'm not sure if it's me not believing in it, or I'm just kind of ignorant when it comes down to understanding it. I have learned bits and pieces about crystals, though. They are a pretty big thing even over here where I live. I see lots of people wear them as necklaces too. I think the only one I really understand is the amethyst. Which crystal is your favorite?

It does seem that way and I feel that. I see them as well whenever I open any social media app. I get that, babe. I mean at least we are talking about it and figuring things out. I think so as well. Oh, I'm sure our kids would have both easily. You're it for me as well and I agree. It wouldn't feel right if it wasn't you, jagi. Yeah? Glad you like Haneul and Haeun. Would work perfectly for twins for sure. Been keeping a list of names for a bit especially when I hear ones I like. We do. I look forward to getting a nursery ready though and figuring out all we need for it.

True, I'm glad we're finally talking about it and on the same page with everything. I think I found someone in the catalogue that I really like. I want to inquire about them. I know it can still take months to figure out but it'd be worth it, I think. They're super smart, and have a lot of the same features that we have which would be nice. I'd love for our kids to have your dimples, honestly. They are one of my favourite things about you. Those names are absolutely perfect to me. They roll off the tongue so well. God... I'm imagining you getting frustrated while building a crib, and despite the whole picture being pretty hot - because who doesn't drool over their partner building baby stuff? I can also picture you and I both getting confused and frustrated a few times.

i’ve seen pictures too and i for sure have to go i don’t care what it takes you know? i love to try foods with all the places we get to travel because when are you ever going to get that kind of experience again? yes j support trying new things.

Did you manage to go? I know the aquarium is something I want to go back to when I can. My husband and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm the kind of person that will try something once, and if I don't like it, that's okay -- at least I can say I've tried.

I've been reading a lot, watching a lot, playing a lot of my favorite games... essentially, my life has been glorified couch rotting for the past week or so. It's been absolute bliss, just me and my comfort hobbies. I just finished a good book, and I've managed to avoid getting white cheddar puff dust on any pages in the process. All this time in creative media has me wondering, though... if you could swap lives for a fictional character for a day, who would you choose... and why? @hfrpstarters

Couch rotting is something I have been taking advantage of over the last little while. I've been working for so long, my body needed the rest -- though I start working again very soon. Hm... a fictional character I would swap lives with? I think I'd go with a TV show fictional character on this one. Dean Winchester would be pretty fun to swap with. He's always getting up to something and it's never a dull moment with him. What about you? Wo would you swap with?

It feels that way. Seems everyone else is having kids lately. That's true. We've been wanting to focus on that and I know having kids around would have made that harder. I am as well and so ready to work as well as have our own kids. Yeah? I mean I get it and I'm so ready for us to finally be parents. I appreciate hearing that. I wouldn't wanna raise kids with anyone but you, jagi. Oh, names are hard. They have to be perfect in my eyes. Well, I have a few. There's Jiyoon, Haneul, Haeun, Seojoon, and Sujin. Those are just a few I have written down.

madslbailey-deactivated20250522

I can agree with that. Every time I open Instagram or another app, someone is announcing a birth or pregnancy. I'm happy for them but damn, talk about feeling left out, hm? I think we would be pretty good parents. If they have your smarts and my wit? we've won in life, honestly. That goes both ways. You're it for me and there is no one else I'd want to even discuss having a family with. All of those are super cute names. I love them. I won't lie, though. Haneul and Haeun stand out a lot. I love that you put some thought into it. We'd just have to make sure we have everything we need, too. It's a lot to get a nursery done but we could do it.

is anyone else really ready for summer to get here? i start filming soon for the final season of outer banks, so my summer will be spent mostly filming, but i still can't wait for it to get here. because when i'm not filming, i want to be on the beach with a drink in my hand as often as possible. i've had a rough go lately after a bad breakup, and i'll admit that i've been living the hermit life, but i feel like when summer rolls around, i can shed the weight of sadness and just live my best life. which, possibly, sounds silly because i could just shed the weight of sadness right now and enjoy spring, but i just feel happier in the summer, you know? it must be all that vitamin d. @hfrpstarters

I can't lie, I'm a fickle person when it comes to the weather. Whenever it's cold, I want the hot weather, but then when its hot, I want it to cool down. I'm more of a fall or spring person. A breakup? damn, that's rough for sure. I've had my fair share of those in the past. It doesn't really get easier to deal with but it's always a learning curve, I feel. However, I do have to agree that I'm more happier in the warmer weather. There's just something about it. Maybe it's the longer days? I like the fact that I can be out and about all day without having to worry about it getting dark so quickly. It also helps me feel less bad about spending so much time in the studio.

alright so i've been gone for a while and just been enjoying time with my husband. i see we have a trip to boston coming up soon and i can't wait for that. what's something you've heard about that's there? i need to immerse myself even if we only have three days. @hfrpstarters

I think, for me, the New England aquarium is pretty cool. I have only seen it in pictures but it was enough to make me want to go! I also hear they have some pretty good food and a wide variety of types to choose from which always makes me happy. I want to be able to try new things while we're out there in general.

garethsouthgate-hf

That is true. If I don't have to be anywhere then that is ok. But if I have to go out, I don't like it at all. I guess so. I know what you are saying. I wish I could be like that too.

It would make such a difference if I could be like that, make mistakes or be embarrassed without lying in bed at night and thinking about it obsessively. I've had quite a lot of those moments in the last few years.

Yoongi! First of all, thank you for always being one accidental voicenote away from becoming my personal hitman, it's very comforting. I’m doing well, honestly. Life’s been kind lately, and people have too, mostly because I’ve perfected the art of the polite but terrifying stare. You know the one. I'm so glad you watched The Assessment! That one meant a lot to me, so hearing that makes my heart all fuzzy. As for recent favorites… I just wrapped a film in London with the iconic Julia Roberts, and I’m still pinching myself over it. But enough about me, how have you been? What’s new in your world? And more importantly, are you working on anything I should be excited about (which is basically everything you do)?
