It had been one year since I-boyLand's debut, and things had finally started to look up for the group. Tae had moved on from his heartbreak, but he was still not allowed to date by the agency. The agency believed that Tae's relationship status could be used as a tool for publicity, and they wanted to keep control of the narrative.
Tae was frustrated by the agency's decision, but he knew that he had to comply with their rules. He had learned from his previous experiences, and he didn't want to risk getting into another public scandal.
Ryan and Koo had also seen their fair share of success. Their feature on Tae's song had been well-received, and they had even started working on their own solo projects. Lin had also been busy with her own projects, but she always made sure to check in on Tae and make sure he was doing okay.
As for Jungkook, he and Tae had managed to maintain their friendship despite the agency's decision. They still kept in touch and supported each other's projects.
The group had come a long way since their debut, and they were proud of what they had achieved in the past year. They had faced their share of challenges, but they had come out stronger on the other side.
As they celebrated their one year anniversary, they knew that there were still more challenges ahead, but they were ready to face them as a team. They had each other's backs, and that was all they needed to succeed.
I-boyLand had been hard at work, preparing for the release of their second album "Dirt on our Name". The album was a departure from their debut sound, and it featured a mix of rap and vocals from all the members.
Ryan, who had been honing his rap skills during his solo projects, had written and produced several tracks on the album. His verses were raw and honest, and they reflected his experiences and growth as an artist.
Tae, Koo, and Lin had also contributed to the album, lending their vocals to several tracks. Their harmonies were a perfect complement to Ryan's rap verses, and they created a unique and dynamic sound.
The group was sitting in their practice room, discussing their second album, "Dirt on our Name"
Ryan: "Man, that was one hell of a ride. I don't think I've ever worked this hard on an album before."
Lin: "Yeah, it was definitely challenging, but I'm so proud of what we've accomplished. I think this album really showcases our growth as artists."
Koo: "Definitely, and I think the fans are really responding well to it too. We've been getting so many positive messages on social media."
Tae: "Yeah, it's been great to see the fans connect with our music. But honestly, I'm just glad it's over. I don't think I've ever been this exhausted in my life."
Ryan: "Tell me about it. But it was all worth it in the end. We've made something we're really proud of."
Lin: "I couldn't agree more. And I'm so grateful that we have each other. I don't think I could have gotten through this without you guys."
Koo: "Same here. We're more than just bandmates, we're best friends. And that's what makes all of this worth it."
Tae: "Yeah, I couldn't have said it better myself. We've been through a lot together, but we always come out stronger on the other side."
Ryan: "Here, here! To I-boyLand, and to our second album, "Dirt on our Name"!
The group raised their glasses in a toast, feeling a sense of accomplishment and camaraderie.
