In this album, all of us participate in songwriting, producing, directing and composing. To be exact, we involve throughout the process of making this album

Sooyoung: Few months ago, you all successfully had your own building. It became a hot topic in internet for a while

Seulgi: True, after we leave our former agency, four of us decide to stand on our own. With experience and support from many people, especially our wives, we successfully started our own agency, Conquerors Entertainment. We rent a small building and our baby step begin

Jisoo: After six years of hard work, we are finally able to build our dream building. Now we’re the boss and we’re the idols. We also owned 70 staff working with us and still opening vacancy for some positions since we’re not only working in entertainment industry

Sooyoung: Are you guys involved in other industries?

Moonbyul: Yes, we owned a newly launched accessories brand named DADDIES

Sooyoung: Omo! This is big news! Our viewers must be surprised to hear this

Seulgi: I think so because we never spill out about this brand. It is the brand that is owned by Conquerors Group after Conquerors Entertainment. Our business is managed by my wife and Jisoo’s wife, Jennie Kim, since they have a lot of experience in business and fashion. They assist by our good friends, Lalisa from Thailand and Roseanne from Australia

Sooyoung: Aside from agency and accessories brands, what else do you guys have under Conquerors Group?

Moonbyul: So far, we only have two businesses but in the future we already have some plans. Let’s hope so that we can quickly run new subsidiary

Sooyoung: We look forward to hearing good news from your group and we always pray the best for all of you. Your fans also support you guys in everything you make. I hope that your brand will soaring upwards after this interview. I believe that your product will be love by everyone since all of you have great fashion sense

Seulgi: Thank you, unnie. You’re the best!

Sooyoung: You’re welcome. Now, we’ll move to the next topic. It is the topic that everyone is waiting for when it comes to your group. While some of celebrities are comfortable in keeping their family behind the closed door but Hot Daddies are often showing family members in vlog, social media and sometimes the kids or your wives seen on some TV show or come to filming set to support you guys

Jisoo: Showing or not, it is everyone’s choice. For us, we decided to open up about our family. After all of us get married…the last one to settle down is me…our fans are curious about our personal life since I announced my marriage with Jennie. We discussed it with our wives and everyone agreed to go public. Besides, our wife is also pretty famous. Irene unnie is a businesswoman who often appears on TV, magazine and social media. Jennie is a model and fashion designer. Solar noona is a celebrity chef while Eunbi is a famous music producer. They are already known by the public even before they attach to us so there is no reason for us to hide. We do keep some privacy but not all of it

Moonbyul: Our kids are also used to what happens around them. They know how to react in front of a camera. As for safety, we’re preparing top security for them so that we can avoid danger when meeting with fans. So far, no scary incidents have happened. We’re thankful to our fans for not being aggressive to our children and respecting their privacy. You guys are the best!

Sooyoung: We saw comments in social media, there are a lot of fans wishing to be your children. A lot of people want to be in your children's shoes. Do you guys ever notice those comments?

Seulgi: Yes, we used to read those kinds of comments. It’s funny but don’t wish to be my child

Sooyoung: Why?

Seulgi: Because it not as easy as it seen

Jisoo: Seulgi is very strict to her kids

Sooyoung: Can we hear a bit about your parenting skill? Seulgi-ssi?

Seulgi: As a parent, everyone wants the best for their kids and so does me. I’m a strict parent, it’s true. I don't deny it. You all can ask my children if you don’t believe me. Irene and I made a schedule for the kids on their weekdays like what time they can play, when they should study, what time they can watch TV and what time they must sleep. Irene is an organized person so she wants her kids to also be organized in their daily life. On weekends, they are free from schedule. We’re not pressuring them to study on weekends or go to tutor class unless the kids ask for it. I always remind them, you know your own limit so even though mommy said you have free time on weekends, that doesn’t mean you don’t need to study or forget your books. If you have something you want to do to fill your weekend, tell us. So far, Jeno usually plays basketball with his friends and Yerim takes English class. My youngest, Karina, prefers to stay at home with her mom and bake cookies or cake. She is very close to her mom. I am not stopping them from hanging out with their friends or sleeping over. I want them to enjoy their teenage time

Sooyoung: You have great parenting. I salute you and Irene-ssi. In Kang family vlog, Jeno mentioned that they must work hard to get what they want. Can you elaborate on it?

Seulgi: That is because we do not give them freedom to buy what they want. For example, I tell Jeno if you want to buy a PS5, you mu
