However, that does not mean the members have never thought about their future lives —having girlfriends, or even further down the road, getting married and starting families. On the contrary, the members have openly shared their imaginations and expectations for family life after they are no longer idols on numerous occasions. V has even thought of names for his future son and daughter and imagined taking them to the park to feed pigeons, while ...
