NCT Dream – 7llin In Our Youth - Episode 3

The evening continues as the members gather around the fire, sharing laughs and making predictions about who their secret gift givers might be. Some guesses seem eerily spot-on, while others feel wildly off the mark based on what we’ve seen so far—but with NCT Dream, nothing is ever that predictable.

As the night progresses, it’s time to prepare more food, with tasks seemingly evenly distribute...

AWSAZ Episode 4 – It’s Awkward, But It’s OK

This week, Jisung and Jaehyun take the hot seat, under the merciless control of Chenle and Jungwoo, who seem far more interested in making their bandmates suffer than actually helping them bond. Their mission? To ensure maximum cringe and secondhand embarrassment—and they’re very good at it.

Despite expectations, Jaehyun and Jisung actually know each other better than we thought. They’ve shared ...

The first of a two-part arc takes Young-Woo and the team on an unexpected work trip to Jeju Island, after she picks up a case from a neighbour in her apartment building. What starts as a simple change of scenery quickly turns into something much more emotionally charged, as personal and professional challenges begin to collide.

Before the trip, Myeong-Seok visits the doctor following the health issues he experienced in the previous episode...

Starship Game Caterers Episode 3-1

The midnight snack quizzes roll on, with the actors still battling it out in their OST recognition challenge. With snacks and drinks on the line, the pressure is high—but as seen in the previous episode, not all teams are equally equipped for the task.

Dongwook’s team, in particular, can’t help but voice their frustrations, convinced they’ve been dealt the weaker hand. Meanwhile, Seungheon is in prime position to carry his ...

TREASURE – Treasure Map Episodes 42 & 43

The overnight trip continues in these final two parts of this Treasure Map three-parter, bringing more laughter, challenges, and pure TREASURE-style chaos.

The morning kicks off with Doyoung struggling to escape his tent—a task that should be simple, but for him, is anything but. Whether it’s the early start or just an extension of his spectacularly bad luck from the previous episode, it sets the perfect tone for what’s to come. Once he finally makes it...

This Week's Schedule - plus an explanation of the changes we are making

An Important Update on Our Schedule

Hey everyone, we wanted to take a moment to talk openly and honestly about some changes we need to make to our schedule.

Simply put, our current approach is unsustainable. We’ve pushed ourselves too hard and spread ourselves too thinly, which has led to frequent last-minute cancellations and mounting stress as we try to either catch up or admit that we can’t.

We love what we do....

Schedule Changes - plus an honest apology

Hey Patrons

I want to speak with you a little bit differently in this post.

We made some schedule changes earlier in the week and tried to make sure they didn't impact Patreon, but since we're now making further changes it feels more appropriate to ditch the "customer service" voice and speak to you as Simon.

Firstly, the headline is that we won't be publishing any videos this weekend.

Normally we would be ahead of ourselves and come into the weekend...

NCT Dream – 7llin In Our Youth Episode 2

The 7llin trip continues as the members split into two teams for a round of foot volleyball.

The much-anticipated resolution to last episode’s cliffhanger plays out much as expected, clearing the way for WJSN to take their turn.
