After the initial teasing during the engagement celebration, Lisa and Taeyong were officially dubbed "Mom" and "Dad" by their newfound idol children—STRAY KIDS, ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, TREASURE, and NCT. What started as a joke quickly turned into an affectionate title that everyone used without hesitation.
Lisa, ever the multitasker, would often walk into a room to check on the groups during their practice sessions. The moment she'd appear, someone (usually Niki or Wooyoung) would dramatically shout, “Mom’s here! Everyone act cool!” This would often lead to the groups collectively pretending to be perfect angels—until someone like Felix or San cracked up, breaking the act entirely.
Taeyong, on the other hand, embraced his "Dad" role wholeheartedly. Whenever the groups were too loud, he'd jokingly say, “Alright, kids, settle down before Mom gets mad!” To which Lisa would roll her eyes and laugh, “I’m right here, Taeyong.”
Whenever all the groups gathered for meals at LLOUD Entertainment, Lisa and Taeyong sat at the head of the table like proud parents. The seating arrangement itself was a battle of who got to sit closest to them, with Changbin, Wooyoung, and Niki often loudly claiming their spots.
“Dad, pass the rice!” Mingi would yell, only for Hyunjin to snatch it away and tease, “Wow, so needy, Mingi.”
“Kids, stop fighting,” Lisa would say, barely containing her laughter.
Lisa and Taeyong quickly found themselves in the role of confidants for the younger idols.
Sunoo and Heeseung often sought advice on managing their relationship in the public eye.
Seonghwa and Hongjoong would casually ask for tips on balancing leadership and personal time.
Even the notoriously cheeky Bang Chan once sat down with Taeyong for a deep conversation about staying grounded as a leader.
“I swear, we’re running a counseling service,” Lisa joked to Taeyong one evening after yet another heart-to-heart with their idol kids.
It wasn’t just “Mom” and “Dad.” The groups had endless variations of the titles, like:

PapaYong (thanks to TREASURE)
“Mother Lisa and Father Taeyong” (used mock-seriously by ATEEZ.
Despite all the teasing, the idols deeply appreciated Lisa and Taeyong’s guidance and support. They often told stories of how their leadership made LLOUD Entertainment feel less like a company and more like a family.
At the end of the day, no matter how chaotic things got, the title of “Mom and Dad” wasn’t just a joke anymore—it was a reflection of the love, respect, and admiration everyone had for Lisa and Taeyong.
“Being called Mom and Dad might be the best thing to happen to us,” Lisa confessed to Taeyong one evening.
Taeyong smiled, pulling her close. “It’s because we’re raising a whole family of stars.”
The first anniversary of Heeseung and Sunoo's relationship was approaching, and Heeseung wanted to do something unforgettable. To make it extra special, he secretly enlisted the help of their Mom and Dad, Lisa and Taeyong.
One evening, after making sure Sunoo was busy with his schedules, Heeseung approached Lisa and Taeyong in their shared lounge.
“Mom, Dad, I need your help,” Heeseung said, trying not to sound too nervous.
Lisa raised an eyebrow, immediately curious. “What is it, sweetheart?”
“I want to surprise Sunoo for our anniversary... but I need the music studio, and maybe some help arranging something with all the idols.”
Taeyong grinned, understanding the romantic gesture. “Say no more. We’ll make sure it’s perfect.”
Lisa, being the queen of organization, took charge of coordinating the surprise. She roped in everyone from STRAY KIDS to ATEEZ, TREASURE, and even SEVENTEEN and BTS. Each idol group was assigned a small task to ensure everything went smoothly.
