NCT AWSAZ Special Edition Episode 1 – Winwin & Jisung

The awkwardness is back and better than ever in this special edition of AWSAZ, kicking off with a brilliantly mismatched pairing – Winwin and Jisung. From the get-go, both members freely admit they’re awkward around each other, which is pretty much the perfect starting point for this show’s brand of uncomfortable magic.

This time around, Haechan and Hendery take over the i...

Extraordinary Attorney Woo Episode 15

The penultimate episode of this remarkable series takes us into high-stakes territory as Young-Woo and her team defend a major online retailer whose recent data security breach has exposed the personal information of a staggering 80% of Korea’s population. That number, and what it represents, turns out to be far more pivotal to the case than anyone initially realise...

Starship Game Caterers Episode 3-3

The charades chaos continues, and the tension kicks up a notch as Kwangsoo takes on the deceptively challenging "emotions" category. With prompts like “happy but also sad” and “reprehensible”, it’s not exactly a walk in the park—but if anyone can bring emotional confusion to life, it’s Kwangsoo. Whether his teammates can decode his chaos in time is another question entirely....

TREASURE – Treasure Map Episode 46

The second instalment of the T-Log mini-series continues with more hilariously honest and unexpectedly wholesome glimpses into the members’ daily lives.

We begin with Doyoung, who takes us through the quiet early hours of his day, wandering through what appears to be a completely deserted YG building and dance studio. It’s peaceful and reflective, though Doyoung later admits he wishes he’d prepared a bit...

SEVENTEEN – In the Soop Episode 7

The group’s relaxed retreat continues with a spontaneous game of futsal, sparked by the discovery of a nearby pitch on a previous outing. As seven members arrive, there’s a moment of confusion - where are S.Coups and Mingyu? The mystery is quickly solved when it’s revealed they’ve decided to cycle to the venue. It’s a picturesque idea in theory, though it becomes clear that one of them enjoys the journey far more than the other...

Vincenzo Episode 12

Just when it seems like the stakes couldn’t get any higher, this episode proves otherwise. The battle lines are clearer than ever, and with tensions mounting on all sides, every move feels like it could tip the scales.

The residents of Geumga Plaza are suspicious of Vincenzo’s claim that the gold hidden beneath the building is just a rumor. Their distrus...

AWSAZ Episode 5 – Johnny & Jaemin

Another cringe-filled, hilarious episode of AWSAZ brings together an apparently unfamiliar duo—Johnny and Jaemin. According to hosts Jisung and Jaehyun, these two have never spoken to each other before… though as the episode unfolds, it turns out that might not be entirely true.

Before the show, we predicted that Jaemin might struggle under the sheer View Post

NCT Dream – 7llin In Our Youth Episode 5

As the evening winds down, the boys wrap things up with a quick game of 20 Questions, each trying to guess the name of the person they've been assigned. While some members pick up on the clues easily, Haechan struggles more than most—perhaps lacking the ‘spark’ needed to ‘pick or choose’ the right answer?

With confusion all around, the game takes longer than expected, but eventually, a winner is crowned View Post

The midnight snack games finally come to a close, and the members retreat to their rooms, armed with their well-earned winnings. With their competitive streaks put to rest (for now), it's time to wind down—though not everyone takes the same approach.

TREASURE – Treasure Map Episode 45

The members are given a hilarious but deceptively challenging task this episode—recording their own T-Log for an hour. While it sounds simple, it quickly becomes obvious that some are far more comfortable with the concept than others.

Asahi, in particular, is completely baffled by the challenge. His camera setup? Let’s just say it’s less than ideal View Post

Hey everyone! Kerry is recovering well, and we’re really happy to say that we’ll be recording more videos this week than we did last week – starting today!

That said, we’re not committing to a published schedule just yet because we don’t want to set expectations (and pressure) too high while we’re still finding the right balance.
