As I'm writing this, I'm getting ready to hop on my flight to South Korea, and man... I just want to say THANK YOU.

I don't think y'all truly understand how much you've helped make moments like this possible. The love and support you've shown me over the years have allowed me to chase ideas that I used to only dream about. And I never want y'all to think I take that for granted. Seriously, none of this happens without you.

This trip is a little different from my usual Korea trips. I'm working on something really special. A cinematic documentary called Beyond the Spotlight, where I want to tell stories that go deeper than what we normally get to see. The people, the culture, the struggles, the dreams, and everything in between.

There are some really cool opportunities in the works with some amazing people and even idols that BOTH you and I love. 👀 I don't want to say too much just yet because you know how things can change lol, but I'm genuinely excited about what we could create.

And that's actually why I'm making this post!

I NEED THE PATREON GANG'S HELP!

I have two questions for y'all, and I really want your honest opinions.

1. VLOGS

Outside of the documentary, I want to bring y'all along for the Korea experience! I'm also thinking about doing some behind-the-scenes vlogs so you can see what goes into making the documentary, from the exciting moments to the chaos that I'm sure we'll run into along the way lol.

But what kind of vlogs would YOU actually enjoy watching? Food? Fashion? Nightlife? Behind the scenes? Random adventures? Meeting people? Give me your ideas! Even the crazy ones lol.

2. THE DOCUMENTARY 🎬

Now this is where I really want y'all to think outside the box.

When you hear "a cinematic documentary about Korea, K-pop, and the people behind the culture," what would YOU want to see?

What stories do you wish someone would tell? What questions would you want answered? What side of your favorite idols or the industry do you wish you could experience beyond the music videos, interviews, and performances?

I'm not trying to make just another K-pop video. I want to create something that makes you FEEL something. Something that stays with you after it's over.

And since y'all have been such a huge part of my journey, I want your voices to help shape this one too.

I'm taking a big leap with this project, but that's part of the excitement. I believe in what we're creating, and I'm hoping I can make something that all of us can be proud of.

I'll be sharing updates and some behind-the-scenes moments with y'all along the way. You already know the Patreon gang is FAMILY, so it's only right that y'all get to experience this journey with me.

Drop your vlog ideas AND documentary ideas separately in the comments! I'm going to be reading through them while I'm out there.

Love y'all for real. Thank you for believing in me, even when I'm out here coming up with these crazy ideas. 😂❤️

WE REALLY OUT HERE MAKING DREAMS HAPPEN!!🔥

I don’t know about anyone else but IM a foodie. LOVE ME SOME FOOD. I’m actually really excited to see everything you decide to do. I’ll like it no matter what. The Nightlife idea might be cool though! Haven’t seen much of that in Korea!

Bobbie

This is so cool🥹 I love love love stuff like this like I really wish this was my job lol Besides kpop, I’m a huge history and geography nerd so I watch a lot of travel YouTubers. When it comes to vlogging, I love it all. Random adventures, niche stories, good ole “slice of life”.. stuff like that. It doesn’t have to be super epic or exciting for me to watch For the documentary, I’d love to hear more from the teams behind our favorite kpop groups and how they got into the behind the scenes of the industry and what their everyday looks like with talent management and things the groups are more hands off with that wouldn’t happen without their team (mv editing, social media, merchandise, stylists, concert logistics beyond the stage, etc). I already know Kpop history like the back of my hand so I’d love to dive even deeper into the Kpop industry and see how their culture compares to Hollywood. I’m ranting but I hope this helps!

Congratulations. Please make vlogs and lives for us for free 🤍🤍🩵 Im so excited to see your reactions and vlogs about Korea, is an amazing country, wonderful people, wonderful culture, the kpop stores, you should check Hongdae too, crazy clubs and diversity music everywhere. Can’t wait to see your vlogs, and lives, keep us informative, Korea is an AMAZING place, once you visit Korea, you won't be ready to go back to your country, It's so beautiful and free-spirited that it's really hard to leave, I already want to go back to Korea and stay there forever. 😭🤍

As far as vlogs, I’m good with everything. Getting a POV to someone traveling to Korea will be interesting in and of itself but bts of your creative work brings it up a notch.

Mia

Please go to kpop festivals, they are so good. 🩵

With the documentary I would love to see more about the day in the life of a trainee. I think a storytelling about the beginnings of an idol/actors journey and their life working towards their dream, their life with family and friends and community from the trainees themselves would get my attention. It could tie in with the stories of those that have made it and are our favorites today and the ongoing work they put in and how the relationships to family, friends, and community has changed along the way. No matter what, I know you’ll do great work, Terry! You’ve come so far and you’re doing great things! The Bris gang will always be here to support!

for the documentary: i’d love to see • the process of a group’s comeback being created, from the a&r team, to the creative director’s vision/moodboards, to the idols being involved in the recording and practicing and the hours that go into that. • day in the life of an idols schedule • a look into the process of working with producers and songwriters from overseas for the vlogs • nightlife and food would be fun! • i think a livestream of u just answering questions and talking would be fun as well to see in real time • always appreciate u talking about your experience being american and black in korea, maybe with other foreigners/americans or black ppl out there!

I’m so excited for your Korea trip!! Since you’re going during the year end award shows and festivals, I’d really love to see some behind the scenes content if possible! I’m not sure how long you’ll be staying, but if you get the chance to attend one of the shows or meet any idols who are performing, please share the experience with us. Also, I know this might be a big ask, but if you ever get the chance to visit one of the entertainment companies, a little company tour would be SO interesting! Like seeing the practice rooms, vocal recording rooms and studios. I’d love to see what these places actually look like behind the scenes! And I know you don’t usually livestream, but maybe you could do a YouTube live while visiting a famous Korean café or restaurant, just casually chatting and doing a little Q&A with us. That would be so fun! ❤️

Eyyy I was just there in October. What an experience

Love seeing new opportunities and doors opening up for you and can't wait to see where they tske you.. 💜🫶🏾✨️

As far as the vlog goes, I'm always interested to learn more of the culture quirks when it comes to Korea. The behaviors and things that you come across there (both common and not so common) that give you culture shock. I love seeing their convenience stores and all of the cool little things they have as well as the smaller businesses/shops and cute cafés. I love seeing the visual differences in the landscapes, so if you happen to take some random adventures, I'd love to see some hidden visual treasures. Nature and the natural beauty of some of the areas out there are what I really yearn to see if I'm ever lucky enough in my lifetime to be able to travel there at least once. 😭 Also, food and nightlife activities will never miss!

Documentary wise, I'd love to be able to get different perspectives on the Kpop industry through the family and close friends of an idol. I'd love to hear how they think the industry has shaped their loved ones, their options on the joys and struggles they see with being apart of such an intense lifestyle, and the things they think should be improved upon when it comes to idol life. I'm not sure how possible or safe this would be, but I just think it'd be so cute to hear little childhood stories and personality reveals from those who raised our stars and grew up with them. 🤗 Anything behind the scenes as far as your creative and brainstorming processes would be nice to see as well.

Food and behind the scenes for sure!

Lia

Congratulations! For the documentery : I would love to see, the Family and friends toughts, pov on the whole journey, from trainee to idol, debut… and if they were against it or not, anecdotes…

Amyyy✨

Wow!! Congrats again on this amazing journey, and I hope everything runs smoothly! For Vlogs: I would love to see places you've never explored before (landscapes, restaurants, stores), maybe places you've had doubts about or areas where you said, “maybe later.” Since you are working on your documentary, I would appreciate behind-the-scenes content and an update on how the progress is going. Not only will it be fun to see but personally it can be a good learning experience as someone who is currently in college learning about film! Documentary: I would love to see the progress or behind-the-scenes from the group’s comeback, project that they want to try in the future even if they are crazy, in interviews we always see and hear their achievements but I want to know about what struggles they have faced and what ways have they overcome them. Lastly, to know what moments they experienced that made them who they are and how was the journey that brought them who they are today! Super excited for this project!

Congrats Terry!! For Vlogs I would like to see some behind the scenes, food, and nightlife content. For documentary I would like to see K-Pop culture from their perspective of family and/or friends of an idol.

SB

Sounds so cool Bris!! So happy to see you be able to do more of what you like and enjoy too!!

Penn

OMG Congratulations!! Excited for you and I hope everything goes great! Most people have already commented what I wanted to say as well for the vlogs and documentary! Enjoy everythingggg

For vlogs day in the life, Meet people

With the documentary, I would really love to see the daily use of lingo or memes in korea, kind of how we have our own lingo we use nowadays. I would also love to see the feelings behind koreans especially how they feel about the beauty standards and having these beautiful, fake idols shoved in their faces 24/7. I would also like to see if people prefer our entertainment shows over their own, kind of how us kdramas fans do. I'm so happy for you terry!! I'm also very proud of you, you work so hard and I always can't wait for more reactions from you! Love you terry, stay safe <3

Safe Travels, good eating, lots of music and fulfillment of your dreams. My wish for you!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Yeah I want to see the day in a life of a trainee as well. The different aspects they train them in, the company expectations and why the company sets specific standards. Also always been curious about how the parents of idols felt about allowing their child become an idol, their initial concerns, and compared to how they feel now. I also would be curious as to (in general) what parts of American culture has influenced South Korea the most and what parts didn’t make it. The last thing I would be curious about is how people of non Korean descent who permanently live in Korea are treated and what made them make the decision to move and live in Korea. Which they prefer?
