Juwon:
Guys, real talk… if you knew everything about idol life before debuting, would you still do it?

Woongki:
😬 That’s a loaded question.

Steven:
I feel like JL is about to type an essay.

JL:
I—
…
Okay, so basically—

Han:
DON’T.

JL:
Fine. Short answer: Yes, but I’d read the fine print first.

Daisuke:
There was a fine print?!

Chih En:
There were multiple contracts, genius.

Jeongwoo:
I still would. But I’d mentally prepare more.

Shuabo:
Same. The training was no joke.

Woongki:
Remember when we had to sing while running on treadmills?

Daisuke:
I have trauma from that.

Steven:
Tbh, the hardest part isn’t even the training. It’s everything that comes after.

Han:
Agreed. The pressure, the expectations, the constant criticism…

JL:
Not to mention the schedules.

Juwon:
Sleep? Nonexistent.

Woongki:
Privacy? Never met her.

Chih En:
Social life? LOL, what’s that?

Daisuke:
But at least we have each other. 🥹

Shuabo:
Awww, Daisuke—

Daisuke:
That was me trying to convince myself not to cry.

Steven:
😂😭

Han:
But honestly, idol life is tough, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Jeongwoo:
Same. Even with all the stress, the fans make it worth it.

JL:
For real. Seeing people happy because of our music? That’s everything.

Woongki:
Okay, but also, the free clothes and fancy hair products? I’m thriving.

Chih En:
Priorities.

Juwon:
I can complain about this life for hours, but I’d still choose it again.

Daisuke:
Even the treadmill singing?

Juwon:
…Okay, maybe not that.

JL:
But at the end of the day, we’re living our dream.

Steven:
And we’re doing it together.

Woongki:
Wow, that was kind of deep. Who are we??

JL:
AHOF! AHOF! AHOF!

Steven, Han, Jeongwoo, Shuabo, Daisuke, Chih En, Juwon, Woongki:
…

Chih En:
Someone say something dumb before this gets emotional.

Daisuke:
JL’s still a fake maknae.

JL:
YOU JUST HAD TO RUIN IT.
