so what is your projected future path then?
like dancer instead of idol?
cool cool seems like a good bf at least now you don't have to hide it

idk...
I might end up like Lee Know from SKZ
I've been with him for 3 years; he's the best thing I can have rn lol
S
Selfmate
it's good that you have someone in your corner
I guess that is something that you have to consider thoughtfully
since if you aren't debuting as an idol (or at least no guaranteed path) then you gotta consider if that career is worth it
like future earnings prospects of being a dancer or if you happen to quit altogether and return back down under and schooling or something else even

Going_Under
No longer a trainee
Yes i get paid with an hourly salary of $20.32
Not much...but it is something
S
Selfmate

Going_Under
Going_Under
I already get a dorm
On tour, they pay half of my hotel cost, and I pay the other half
S
Selfmate
???? what they make you pay half???? when you're earning like min wage lol
if you're working (especially away from home) most work places pay for one's accommodation
Going_Under
Going_Under
