It was really special to spend time with @NCTsmtown Jaehyun and learn more about the way his mind works.
From his music to work with @Prada, there's a clean and classic aesthetic to Jaehyun and "Forever Only" is the first step in showing that "human" side billboard.com/music/pop/jaeh…

"We have not been that seriously thinking about the fact that people only see us as cheerful artists, but Carats know our range. We like the way people see, but instead of being complacent with our images, we want to share our ambitions" -Seungkwan (1/2)

Huening Kai's onstage charisma is no joke, he's always so in the moment when he performs. So great to watch, especially during the 11-song stretch when there's so many songs in a row at #TXT_ACTLOVESICK

Via press release: "VERNON is the third member of @pledis_17 to release a mixtape as a part of their 'The Thirteen Tapes' series, following HOSHI's 'Spider' and WOOZI's 'Ruby'"
Didn't know there was a larger mixtape project here! So The8 + Jun's tracks aren't part of the series?

"I love using a moon reference. It's hard to get to the moon, but I believe with our #Ahgase I can get there. To me, the moon has many different sides: it represents changes, similar to people and life, so I get inspired by the moon" @GOTYJ_Ars_Vita on "Drive Me to the Moon"
