Also, may I add that Hyukjae looks shockingly similar to actor Park Sung Hoon whom I currently like a lot so that's a plus. 🥰

I believe it’s possible now. Here’s what’s changed since then: His exclusive contract with SM has expired, which means he has more freedom and flexibility as a freelance solo artist. He and Eunhyuk have started their own talent agency called ODE. The company itself is still a greenhorn, but with their bountiful experience and with the right talents, they can become a well known corporation someday. As producers and CEOs, it would be easier to withdraw from the limelight and pursue personal interests like getting married and having a family without scrutiny from the media. As long as Donghae still feels the way he did in this interview, I believe he can have both.
