December Schedule

Hello everyone!

I want to wish everyone a happy holiday season as we move into December! This month's schedule is going to be a bit different so let me break it down.

The first week of December is going to be like a usual week but some of the variety programs are a bit different. I wanted to check out a few one shots for December and take a break from variety until February but I had to mix things up a bit due to some issues on my end.

In November I unfortunately had a cold for a week and a half which severely caused a lot of issues in terms of my ability to film. So I had more one shots planned like 1N2D for TXT, ZEROBASEONE, ENHYPEN, and finishing binging NANA TOUR and FUNNEXTDOOR but I did not have time.

Currently I still have to film the Week 2 listening parties, Queen of Tears finale, and December's Road to Kingdoms. Which I'll have done and ready on the above scheduled dates. Plus, Squid Game season 2 will be replacing Queen of Tears!

And there has been much request that I check out MAMA 2024 so instead of leaving it for January I'll be filming it this week and also publishing this month. This is a big reason why I'm not pushing a ton of variety this month because MAMA is going to be roughly 8 hours of filming.

For a task this daunting and time consuming I'd ordinarily put it in the GROUPY tier at higher access but I know a lot of people wanna see it so I'm swapping it out for variety.

As a compromise, on the week of Christmas you'll notice "Bonus Variety/Award Shows". With what free time I'll be checking out some random variety stuff people have been mentioning. It'll be random and depending on my mood that day so I can't guarantee the content exactly but think of things like Pixid's "Soobin's Fave's Fave", Idol Human Theater, maybe SM Game Caterers, etc. I don't know how much I'll be putting out and I am not putting a guaranteed list so if you'd rather know what you're getting, you're welcome to pause your patronage and resume in January and take a look back!

You'll notice it also says "award shows" as well. That's a big MAYBE. It's totally a time thing. If I can fit it in I'll try but I'll be very busy in December. So assume this is a 50/50 chance that I do another award show.

Trying to learn from my mistakes of the past. I could just promise a bunch of stuff and just film all month but my past two Decembers were really rough. Last year in particular I was crashing from the burnout. Some of you know the unfortunate ripple effects it had on my personal life. I can't make the same mistakes again.

February can feel like a long ways away but I also have to move out of my office this month and it will take up a huge amount of my time as I have to do it alone, and it will take a heavy physical toll on me. I need to breathe and even then that means I'll still be filming every other day this month. This will eventually pave the way so that I have some freedom to finally film concert reactions again!

I'm still filming variety but prepping for February and need this time in December and January to do it at a moderate pace so I don't overwhelm myself. I hope you understand. Plus we'll have other award show related content in January!

I'll still be focusing on Kulture Studies and bonus drops. Some bonus drops to expect the first week is Ahyeon and Jin's LeeMujin, Ahyeon and Pharita's appearance on Begin Again, aespa's SOLOS, NCT DREAM, izna, and TWS live stages as well!

It's been a long year. It's my first holiday alone in 5 years and I'm a little nervous but I've planned this carefully to give myself some room to breathe, take some time for myself, and hopefully give you guys some fun stuff.

Thanks for reading, and let's have a fun December!
