So, the time is coming. Things are coming together, we'll be entering the planning phase soon of building up our studio, and expanding our team. 

Because of this, I'll be having a lot more mouths to feed on top of supporting ourselves and my family so we want to keep our Patreon where it is, if not grow even further. This comes to shaking things up.

If you saw my two recent listening parties for NCT 127 and ITZY, you'll have seen that I changed it up just a tiny bit by switching to standing set up. It's minor changes like this and some major changes I want to make to not just the listening parties, but also to our YouTube videos and this Patreon as whole. A big thing I want to do is make even our Patreon videos really high quality.

I won't get into details about some of the ideas we have BUT, we do need to know something from you guys to help us determine our direction and some of the changes we want to implement.

So currently, filming our variety content stuff is a big time consuming part of our work load. I am currently working at max. I work from 6am to 5pm, 7 days a week, so I physically cannot add MORE content without taking stuff away.

Now I'm not saying I'm actually going to take away stuff, but I'm limiting this poll to only our summer tier patrons and up because you guys are the only ones who get variety content.

So I'm curious. I personally enjoy streaming and interacting with you all, whether it be just a chill stream or a reaction stream. Currently, it's impossible to stream regularly and do this much variety content. So I'd like to know, as consumers, what do you value more?

Vote in the poll below and if you have some additional thoughts you want to add, you can leave in the comments!

Also, to give you a "rough idea" of what "less variety" and "more streams" would equate to:

-Currently this month we are watching 9 boy group variety and 8 girl group variety for a total of 17 (NOT including drama club).

-Less variety would be something like 5 boy group variety and 5 girl group variety for a total of 10, in exchange for: 2 livestreams per week (and depending on the poll it would be either 1 bg reaction and 1 girl group reaction stream per week, or 1 chill livestream a week, and then bg/gg reaction streams alternating weeks)

*NOTE: I forgot to clarify that I'm not actually CUTTING existing variety series. This is just for the future when I actually finish a ton of these shows hahaha!

I'm honestly for the less variety and more livestreams, like I really enjoy all us hanging out and chatting about different topics and watching requests. And it's not like it will be 0 variety, just less and I'm so for that.

Malaki.H

Also omg the patreon app looks so weird wtf😅 when did it update lol

eli_nhdoaek

Im curious with the less variety is there a rough idea with which ones would be retained? 🤔

Milli Mey

Technically I would like more livestreams but I'm from Europe so there is no way for me to participate in the streams as they always happen during the night in my timezone

Maf

Ok, so my vote is a bit ambiguous. I am ok with the amount of variety because I am getting TXT and I am here just because of TXT variety. Obv if there is less variety and TXT is still there I don’t bother, but if I am not getting that, I might leave.. i am not a multi stan, so that’s the reason. I watch some BTS content, GP999 and some listening parties/mvs reaction. But those aren’t my main reason to be here

jimmirakeul

I love a lot of variety on this patreon but more livestreams equal more fun so I'm fine with less variety :)

anejelly

I'm curious which variety shows would be retained so I know wether less livestream is better or not.

Malaki.H
>>70478196

Yeah I hope if pd goes back to regular livestreams they would try to alternate timings each week like they did before to accommodate everyone

Kim Naff

Because it seems like I'm never actually available when the livestreams are happening or they're about things that aren't my cup of tea, I'm more for variety. It helps ensure that it's done in a way where when I do watch it that I don't feel like I missed out not watching live and there's plenty of variety OF variety. Although, I guess there's always the option of livestreaming variety reactions? Because that I would be down for sometimes for some of these things that are watchable in one session.

Ash

I like the livestreams as they are the only time we can request shorter videos from groups! But I am also from Europe so most of the times I can’t join them when they’re actually live 😅 also sometimes the livestreams have no groups/videos in them that interest me so in that regard i’d like more variety as i’m sure which groups i’m getting then!

Y

My vote is more variety less streams. I miss streams because of time differences anyway so I haven't benefited from that at all as in ever. I work and go to uni so I never have time for it. I think prerecorded stuff is preferable in any case. I'm here mostly for BTS content as well and I hardly get that either so I'll be pretty miffed if their variety gets cut down . Edt: I know I can watch the play back but what's the point of paying for a live stream that isn't live? I do not benefit from the experience...

Amanda Araujo

I like the live streams but i can't always watch it because of time difference so i much prefer the amount of variety content we have now over more live streams

Kpop_Platypus

I really do enjoy the livestreams, but they're often right in the middle of the afternoon at work. Sometimes I can have them on in the background, but not always, and even then I can't really watch the video or comment much so they end up being more like a podcast. Variety content I can watch whenever I want without the distraction of needing to earn my paycheck. And speaking of, my break's just about over... 😅

Caitlin

i think it just depends which variety would get cut, i’m from the uk so i watch some livestreams but they’re really late here so it’s difficult to join a lot of them

Doyoungismyult

I prefer Variety because I personally always miss the streams because of time differences or because it it hard to alot 2-4 hours of my time to watching a stream right when they happen so I don't get to watch them until later anyways. I like knowing what is coming on patreon because I am a planner. I like to see at the beginning of the month what is planned for the future month

Charlotte Gee

My vote is for more variety and less live streams as I can't watch them live because being from the uk the streams are at about 2am my time. I am sad I can't join to live watches for the films since drama club is something I really enjoy even though it's not something I actually thought about when joining also with livestreams they aren't often for groups I like.

Cristine

Ahh this is a hard one😬. I'm here for basically all the content you put out, cuz you're amazing. And honestly, I got into so many new groups because of the variety you offer. However, I do love the livestream and having that little community moment. Even though, I might not be able to always join the live since I live in the Netherlands, I'm still down for more livestreams. So, yeah probably a nice balance between all the content would be okay I guess. ❤

Ana Bermudez

just to put in my 2 cents in, I'm totally down for more streams, reaction OR chill (although reactions are my favorite), but if the amount of variety we're getting is going to be reduced I think we could do shorter variety series? I absolutely love the GOSE and treasure map series but I can see where those going on for months (and not leaving room for other groups) in a reduced format might discourage some summer tiers from renewing their patronage every month. I'll stay no matter what since I'm here for more than variety but just wanted to share an idea! <3

Lex.

I also really enjoy the variety more, I am a multi stan mostly boy groups. Honestly I am ok with both options, it's also important to do want you want also, if you feel like more streaming less variety do that, it's important you do stuff that you like also

Merlin

I think its good to have more variety shows cause then fans of different groups know for sure whether or not you're going to watch their faves variety. For example if I know you have NCT content on the schedule I know I'll stay on this subscription for sure but if not, if there's just more streams I might not stay since we don't really know what will end up being chosen on stream

Amanda Bernström

I always miss the livestreams so i def vote for more variety and less livestreams. Im here because of the variety content, not the livestreams so i prefer more variety. Also i know this hasnt anything to do with this post but i recommend you to watch en-o'clock (its like TXTs To Do show). Its a weekly show by ENHYPEN so the episodes dosent end, they just take breaks when they are having comebacks, like now. And i also recommend Treasure film and Salary Lupin by ATEEZ . I know many people wants you to react to these shows.

Samantha

I'm honestly fine with whatever get's majority vote. For patreon content I always tend to just go with the flow both for PD's content and for the other few patreons I'm subscribed to. At the moment, I currently have a backlog of content I'm going to be watching from both PD and the others I mentioned due to my irl stuff taking up most of my personal time these last few months. However, I am a big fan of the livestreams just because we get to interact more not just with PD but also with each other in the chat. Still, I'll be here to consume the content either way, I'm a multi stan (like, A LOT of groups) so I'm here for nearly every single thing that gets posted! ^_^

Ewtio

I don't understand people saying that they can't watch livestreams live and therefore want more variety and less streams. You can still watch them as VODs and since every time someone does time stamps, you can go through them very quickly if you're not interested in the whole VOD.

Oyku T.

I personally do think more livestreams would be better bcs we can request and fit in more variety of groups, for variety shows I actually don't watch any of them because none of the groups I stan have a slot. That is why I'm mainly here for drama club and the occasional chance of getting to see my favs in livestreams, that being said I do get that the current patreon group is mostly consisting of people who are here for groups that have a slot in the variety schedule so it wouldn't make sense to incorporate completely new groups or groups who have smaller fanbases in that sense I think livestreams can add to the group variety even though even those tend to focus on particular groups

CJoan Rodriguez

I enjoy the livestreams so much. I'm here for the music, listening parties, livestreams (both reaction and chills), and drama shows; I actually do not watch the variety shows reactions. So for me, more livestreams are always awesome, since I get to interact with everyone else and enjoy the conversations and learn so much more about K-Pop and the different groups and artists.

Robin Harris

I rarely watch variety unless it is for a group I follow, and often not even then. Variety in your offerings will probably be more sustainable for your base. It may be interesting to find out more about your supporters. How many are multi stans or not? I really am just standing one group and their solos. I value your reactions and insights so I am a patron. If you cease content for them, at some point (when I notice or am reviewing my budget) I may suspend my patronage and reactivate when there is a comeback. I do enjoy livestreams.

Tesa

As long as ongoing variety shows aren't cancelled like GOSE and Treasure Map that have a bunch of episodes I am okay with cutting down on variety shows in favour of streams. There are a lot of cool short videos dropping, covers, dance projects, etc that would be great to see a reaction to and hear PD's opinion on. I definitely missed the streams this month. Horror Movie Night has been so fun because we all get to comment together and have a conversation :)

ONGOING series where there's so much so there's no end in sight I would definitely keep. For example, TO DO TXT and JESSI SHOWTERVIEW...there's no end in sight lmao. But here's an example of what "less variety" means. So THE BOYZ FLOWER SNACK which we just finished, was 8 episodes right? For things that are shorter and a set episode count, I would watch it first, at my own pace, and once we're ahead, I would release/schedule them accordingly.

Form of Therapy
>>70478213

I should have clarified, any ongoing series are not being CUT. I'm not adding NEW ones until I finish certain ones.

Heloise Wenig

I personally don't really care about the livestreams because almost 90% of the time its reactions for groups I don't really stan AND I'm never online when its live so I can't really make a request for things I want you to watch. Sometimes I watch one or two videos in the VOD, but at the end of the day I really have no interest. Instead I pay for the variety shows from the groups I like and that I'm sure you're going to watch.

Céline Verhaeghe

I am actually okay with whatever you choose to do. I do like the livestreams since it is the chance to see reaction to things we wouldn't see sometimes. But it does depend on the time schedule if I can make it or not (European). For the variety content, I just watch only the content that interest me so for me it depends on what you put out from variety. But that's just me, I don't necessarily feel the need to watch everything that comes out, just because I pay for it. :)

Theia

The last livestreams (the bg streams more than the gg streams) became group-wise kinda monotonous for me. Don't get me wrong I like nearly all the groups you reacted to but because of the voting it's always the same: A few Enhypen videos, a bit NCT Dream and 127, TXT, some Stray Kids content and if we're lucky maybe one other group. A few months ago there was much more variety. And from what I see in the live chat enough people are actually requesting stuff from other groups (mostly smaller not so well known groups who still slay) but most people don't bother scrolling below the first ten requests and voting for them. I would really like to watch a livestream where we give them the attention they deserve. Maybe there could be a specific stream only for groups with for example less than 20 mio views on their title tracks or even below. Or requests for certain groups just get banned for a stream. Cause as much as I like the groups mentioned above I would love to watch some content from smaller groups like A.C.E, Golden Child, Victon, Oneus, Onewe, Verivery, CIX, ONF, SF9, BTOB, Nu'est, P1Harmony... I mean not even Seventeen, Monsta X or Treasure make it in the voting and that is just sad.

I forgot to mention we're not CUTTING any existing ongoing series this is future talk for when we finish series!

eli_nhdoaek
>>70479133

I think what they mean is they miss it so they cant really put in requests properly ? Just a guess tho

Catrin

I think while I'd ordinarily vote for fewer variety in exchange for more reaction live streams, my reservation is that I'd worry about what content would be sacrificed for increasing livestreams. For example, I've been eagerly awaiting the return of ikontv, but it's probably a less popular variety show than a lot of the other boy groups, so my worry would be that'd be one of the ones to be cut. But, I do appreciate that thats just one show, and shouldn't dictate the trajectory of the entire patreon and I have missed being able to hang out on reaction streams. So basically....I dunno. Choices are hard.

Réka O.

I really like the amount of variety we have now and I'd give up streams I guess if we can't have both! But I also really enjoy your reaction streams, so it depends on what variety would be canceled/paused. What I'm most interested in are BTS, SEVENTEEN, TXT, Enhypen, SKZ, ATEEZ and A.C.E content and Treasure Map, everything else I can live without! On the other hand, I sometimes wish we could watch the ongoing shows from these groups even faster (like twice a week) because some of them have so much stuff that I know you'd enjoy and I know that you'll never see them at this pace. So in that sense I'd prefer more variety. As a general rule, I prefer longer form content to shorter ones. But both are important to me, so it's really hard to decide 🤷 I think I'll just trust you and hope that my favorite contents will stay. I'll remain a patron, whatever happens!

Izak

I feel like I'm okay with less variety but I feel like some groups that are cut should have a little more priority in the live streams than groups you are currently watching variety of ( This is just a suggestion for if u cut an ongoing long series) as I'm sure some people only watch specific groups for variety and might be a little dissatisfied by the cut of that group, an example would be if maybe treasure map is stopped after u finish season 2 to, but another ongoing series like to do txt keeps going , txt comes up a lot in live streams cause of their popularity so sometimes we watch quite a few of their videos but treasure as far as i'm aware don't actually show up too often so it could be an option of trying to get 1 or 2 treasure videos into the live stream so they don't entirely disappear for those that watch ur tmap episodes a lot

Wendalla

The reason I prefer more livesteam and less variety content (the 10 variety and 2 livestream per week option) because I could discover new groups and music from the livestreams. I really enjoy reacting to new songs, live performances, dance performances together with everyone else. It is through the livestreams that I get into new groups through songs that I've never heard before. To be honest, it is hard for me to get into the variety content of the groups if I don't know them and one way to get to be introduced to a group is from their music. One thing I miss is the Japanese livestream, it made me start to listen to more japanese music and appreciate it more, since its very different from the usual kpop we listen to. Maybe in the chill livestreams we can do some Japanese music recommendations.

Réka O.

Also, for streams, I enjoyed the Summer tier reaction stream SO MUCH more than the regular ones! Those had too many people who were always fighting in the comments and being disrespectful to other stans. I didn't feel like talking at all after a while. I know people in lower tiers also enjoy streams so I'm just saying this in hopes that maybe we can do some Summer tier and up streams in the future as well.

Zelki

Really enjoy the Livestreams but I never have the time to catch one so I just watch them later and go through the timestamps for the groups I'm interested in... I voted for more variety content but I don't mind it either way

Holly

Personally, I enjoyed the older livestream format where we could request anything, including short variety stuff like random episodes of ongoing series etc. I miss watching short variety stuff with you, cuz in livestreams now we can only request music stuff. And tbh variety wise, I only watch like 2 groups (NCT and TBZ), so I’m super lucky that those have been on rotation thus far. I do like the idea of livestreams so that you can touch on more groups that may not be on rotation in terms of long form variety!

WiseSmellyLegs

I votes for the first option with both reactions and chill streams, but actually I wouldn’t mind if there were more chill streams. I do enjoy just chill and hang out with you a lot

Doyoungismyult
>>70479835

I like this idea a ton. I want to see a live stream with groups that are not as popular get some love!

mm

I don't follow most of the varieties here because it is to much content if I'm not super interested in the specific group. I do watch variety/interviews where the format is the same but the guests change (like Shorterview). So maybe exchanging group specific variety with other formats could be an idea to cut down variety while still covering a lot of different groups. I haven't watched many livestream because I'm to new here, but I really liked them, so yes to more livestreams :). Oh, and one idea for livestreams that could be funny to spice up things. You could do theme based livestreams (horror, nostalgia, funny songs, concerts, ...) every now and then :) In the end you need to do the content you are most interested in because the biggest turn off for me is when I have the feeling you are just pushing through despite not being interested in the stuff you are watching. For example I watched Itzy et Paris just because you were so fascinated and I really liked watching it although I didn't care about Itzy before.

Dianne

More variety. Less stream...anyway, just like most people here, I just watch the variety show of my fav. Although, I hope the livestream will have more variety (group wise). I'm fine if there's no reaction to my favs but I feel like I've been seeing the same groups every livestream. I still watch the replay if there are interesting videos that I haven't seen yet.

Lauren Miller

I love the idea of the streams, but they are always at inconvenient times (i.e., during my workday) and I don't always remember to rewatch them later. So personally, I'd opt for more variety content and fewer streams in general. That said, I don't consume all of the variety content either. What I really love and anticipate is the listening parties; I'm not exactly sure how to change them to make them tier-exclusive though... Anyway, I appreciate everything y'all do! Whatever you bring us, I'm sure I'll be happy.

Upshot

I voted for variety. I don’t catch the streams live (mostly timezone related, but even outside of that, it would be tough to find the time to watch it live without being able to pause or skip), so the additional value of streams (interaction, voting for content etc) doesn’t really apply to me. So for me this question boils down to ‚Do I prefer variety content to the usual content of livestreams?‘ and ‚Do I prefer having a schedule, where I know about the content in advance?‘ And that’s both a clear ‚yes‘ for me. (Not saying I hate livestreams of course)

SeaLights

More variety here too please. Usually can't catch the livestreams cause of time zones and while VOD is good to watch, it's not the same watching on playback. I'm here for BTS (though loved the 2 livestreams I have seen for discovering new music) and so just would hope for the same level of variety content for them (or perhaps even more at some point) and then when I can will watch VOD for livestreams I missed but yes more variety for when I finally find the time to watch some K-drama too. Thank you.

Anonymous

I personally voted for variety - I watch the replays of livestreams sometimes because I usually can’t watch them live because of my timezone and I tend to only watch the replay for groups that I stan. Imo I think rather than cutting out the amount of long series for more livestreams it would be nice to see a return of shorter one off variety content like mafia dance, when mom is asleep, etc.

Sabrina M.

That’s difficult. In one hand if you cut down variety content and for example started new 10 looong series someone could end up not having any to watch for months. Maybe you could do more of those one group per episode type of variety (like weekly idol or knowing bros..) (I know you don’t like them much but some episodes are worth watching ahah) just to cover more. But if you also start doing livestreams you could find a way to keep the different groups there (that means changing the voting sistem bc right now always the same groups end up on top). But I guess you already know all this stuff ahahah. Anyway!! I loved the interaction we all had with the livestreams so I would love to have them back!! Even if it means cutting the variety! Also to watch more live performances that we don’t normally watch, I really liked that. (Sorry for the long comment or for any mistakes my English is not the best) Have a good day!

N

i prefer variety shows but all of these won't matter if you don't react to my fave group which is only nct dream. if you keep reacting to them ofc i will stay! which i hope bc you have interesting takes on them it's fun to watch. you said you will react to nct dream mental camp after nct world. i hope you don't change your mind but if you did then it's ok i would come back when you react to any dream contents again.

Julianne

I love your reaction (and chill) livestreams. I also love watching your variety reactions, but I mostly only watch variety for like, only 1 group, so I don't mind cutting down variety reactions. I think that's generally true for most people. A lot of people love the variety content but probably only watch for certain or some subset of groups. For me the livestreams are something I could join and keep an ear on while working during the day so it's fun. I do end up catching VODs a lot though, which isn't quite the livestream itself so I wouldn't mind either variety or livestream content.

Kei G

I was wondering if we're ever going to have J-pop live streams again (maybe like once a month/once every 2 months)? I personally really enjoyed those to expand my music tastes, but I know that it was more niche! In terms of Livestreams, if you do increase the amount, I think it might be cool to do one a month where like BTS/NCT/SKZ/enhypen/TXT are not allowed for like a more niche stream? Just a suggestion!

Vibby
>>70485028

I really second this, also since the variety series mostly includes bigger groups. It would be a really nice way to highlight the smaller groups!

Isabella N.

i enjoy the streams, but it’s rlly hard to get enough upvotes for less popular groups or videos. its nice having a lot of variety content to look forward to each week. however, i do think it would be nice to have a bit of a compromise with some reactions to longer 10+ mins requests or short-term variety (like reacting to interviews, fan compilation/edits, dingo mafia dance games, etc).

Isabella N.
>>70488711

someone suggested doing a livestream where u don’t take requests for the most popular groups, which i think would be a good idea especially for the bg streams (i feel like the gg ones are less skewed). even with moderately popular groups like svt, tbz, treasure or even ateez (who are insanely popular), there’s barely any request reactions cuz they don’t get as many upvotes

Lisa H

I voted for more livestreams. I think in general I just dont watch variety shows so its not content I consume really, whereas w/ livestreams I really like hearing your opinions and we can watch a variety of videos and clips. I also miss the jpop livestreams. I discovered a lot of great jpop songs through them.

Anonymous

More variety less stream work for me

Bevin

I think a happy medium would be good. Maybe a girl group/boy group livestream once or twice a month? I’m honestly more here for the variety content, but I appreciate a good livestream when the occasion comes around. :)

Donslaught

I would agree with you about the GG stream being less skewed (since there are fewer viewers) but it's still been impossible to get some items voted up like GIRLKIND's Good Vibes Only. If anything I'm down for trying out an Underdog stream, I think that would be pretty fun

Meruka Hinaru

I'm actually more on the livestreams side. Is really hard for me to see livestreams in weekdays, but I still watch the VODs and that's the only way I can get to see content from the lesser known groups that I actually follow. This is due to the fact that even tho Patreon has a lot of good variety content of groups I do enjoy and that are popular, they are still groups I don't necessarily watch content of on a regular basis (like for example, I mainly stan Verivery, but I wont get variety content from them because they are not that popular haha) So the only way for people like me to also see content from our fav groups is getting a chance at livestreams. But that's just on the K-pop related content. I'm really happy with the drama content, which is mainly the tier I'm in for, so that's why I don't really have that much comments on the K-pop content. I still hope healing shows or things like Jessi's Showterview may continue in the long run, I really enjoy those.

Maca

i prefer the variety + bg/gg reaction streams because i can't make it to the streams, and i am able to go through timestamps people provide for the reactions i want to see. i don't go back and watch chill streams, though

Liz

honestly even though I can't always watch the livestreams on time I like to watch the VODs especially bc you can check music/MVs you didn't see, stages, dance practices etc. and almost everytime there is smth interesting I'd like to see you react to, I check variety for only 1/2 groups bc I'm personally more attached to them but I have fun watching the reactions in the livestreams

SimplyNas

I initially signed on for Treasure content and because you were starting up Hotel del Luna in Drama Club. I’ll continue to stay whether you change content or not because I pick and choose what I want to watch from your posts anyways and I love to hear your insights. I do enjoy the livestreams when I can attend because I get to see if others feel the same way I do about a certain MV or song. I tend to join the bg ones more just because I stan more bgs then ggs. However as others have mentioned, I feel lately that the streams have leaned heavily towards a few top groups with bigger fandoms and not enough of smaller groups. I like learning and finding out about other groups and their music.

Anonymous

I miss checking out live stream reactions since we don't have one this month but going forward you can alternate between popular groups requests one week and under-rated groups on another week so we get more variety more people get to know the less popular groups music and work if they want to explore more new groups or songs they never heard before

Anonymous

I think that one option for the livestreams is if requests were put in and chosen beforehand. That way PD would be able to go through some requests and select a variety before streaming. For example if a livestream was 4 hours then it could 2 hours of preselected requests and 2 hours of requests from live voting on Crowdcast.

Erd'na

Disclaimer: I love watching PD livestream. But i voted to have less livestream. Just because we really can't compete with the popular groups request. Sure PD checks out stuff at the bottom. But if you're somewhere in between, you have a hard time getting PD to react on it. I would vote more livestream if somehow this problem is resolve.

Shana

I enjoy the variety and listening parties I like the livestream reactions but I always miss it and I rather have group reactions back to back rather then how the livestream works and ur bouncing around a couple of groups and ppl kinda want to rush to their next group. I do hope to see more reaction livestreams tho but if you're doing 2 a month right now and want to change it to two a week I think a happy medium is 2 every two weeks instead or week 1&3 is gg and 2&4 is bg that way we may keep more of the variety maybe. I honestly signed up for NCT and I feel like they would get cut if u cut down on the variety after this but they have so many new variety shows after neo world 2.0

Antony Dilber

I also voted for less livestreams as I can never make them and can never commit to watching the VOD as it's normally pretty long.

Jade

Also if you cut it down to say 5 variety content for a groups a week then would there be much less rotation? As in if we continue to watch to do txt and gose which seem like pretty indefinite (unless they go on a hiatus like run bts) then would that take out 2 of the 5 weekly boy group reactions? If that’s the case then I feel like it would discourage you from picking up other weekly shows like Enhypen’s EN O’clock and other ongoing series. I’m probably going to keep my subscription either way but I would be happy with more variety (as in options) in variety shows or else the wait time for shows to get pick up is gonna be a much slower turn over rate.

M.C.

I'm not usually available for the livestreams because of work. It's tough to get a request through too if it's not a popular group. Nowadays I'm more so here for Drama club and the survival shows. I chose Variety because I like watching The Boyz and Enhypen shows. With Variety you know what you're gonna get and it's constant, the livestreams are variable. You could miss them and miss out on the fun, not get a request viewed, or not be interested in any of the request. The livestreams do present the opportunity for smaller length reactions though. I think a way to circumvent smaller groups being overlooked or people feeling like they don't get their smaller group reactions seen is to have sperate livestreams for them or segment the livestreams. You could have a boy group stream where half of it is popular groups and the other less popular groups, or alternate every hour depending on how long it ends up being. This works too if you want to combine the BG and GG streams since it seems like BGs get priority when it comes to popular vote. Since your streams are around 4 hours you could do: popular GGs, popular BGs, less popular GGs, and less popular BGs. Another option would be just a popular group live and a less popular group live during different weeks. I think you'd get more people watching on the weekends too, but I get if you want that time for yourself. I know you love livestreaming and it seems to boost your energy levels when you interact with the Patreon's so you should continue cause you seem happy. For variety you could keep 1 or 2 spots for less popular groups or just use a randomizer. This is really long-winded, but I hope it helped.

Also also i may have forgot but are Hyori’s b&b and sixth sense coming back in Nov? Would they be counted in gg varieties or just by themselves and then are you going to watch any variety content that is a variety but isn’t a groups series like weekly idol or smth

yeah, i think this is kind of a hard choice personally! on one hand, i'm here and subscribed for you and your energy and reactions, so as long as you keep doing that, the form doesn't really matter. on another hand, if i see that any of the (many) groups i stan aren't preplanned on the schedule at the beginning of the month, i know i'm probably gonna clock out from variety that month and focus more on drama club or streams to see if my groups pop up (i'm not really someone who gets initially hooked on a group via their variety content - that's usually what i refer to after i already decide to get into a group). i do really enjoy the livestreams whether i'm able to catch them or not. if i am, the fact i'm able to react and comment live with everyone is definitely something i take advantage of even if we're not watching groups/content i'm super interested in - the fun is being there with everyone and seeing how you think! but if i catch them later, i do really enjoy scrolling through timestamps and skipping around for content i know i'd like instead of watching the whole thing. i think the livestream is a real benefit for seeing shorter variety or smaller groups' songs/content with a sense of immediacy - like if a silly video or a new cover came out from an artist, it's likely we'd never see you react to that except on stream, and so i like keeping the streams and how often they are so that those kinds of little videos don't pile up and have to contest airtime with more popular groups' requests too having read through all the comments here too, I think probably the best adjustments here involve having livestreams at more global-friendly times and allow more niche/smaller groups the space to appear. i think if variety is going to get cut for the benefit of streams then the slots in streams should cater to a wider variety of groups too. someone mentioned an idea of having half a stream be filled with pre-selected while the other half comes from live requests (as fun as it is to see your personal group get airtime, i think it's so fun on stream when we watch one odd video and everyone is so into it that we get sucked down a rabbit whole of other stages etc on that group - its part of the live experience!). i think i'm rambling on a lot at this point, but i think either choice (more variety or more lives) could work as long as the medium that's not getting cut thus allows for a wider variety of groups being included. thanks for taking the time and consideration to ask us!

i voted for more livestreams/less variety but honestly im okay with either, i usually watch everything you put out besides (most of) drama club but thats only because i generally don't have time LOL, and like a lot of people here i can't catch livestreams live 99% of the time and haven't been able to since you stopped alternating the times every week but i still enjoy skimming through the vods. the only thing i wish is that there would be more variety with the videos that get chosen, and i think a less appreciated group stream would be great like people are suggesting! i am personally into a lot of lesser known groups along with bigger ones and it feels like i'm just yelling into the void when requesting any lesser known groups because the requests fill up so fast with the same few groups but hey what can you do haha. either way i think its enjoyable just a little disappointing sometimes! sorry this is like word vomit but hopefully it helps a little!

I love your variety reactions, but to be completely honest I only watch about half of them because I'm only interested in those certain groups. The great thing about reaction livestreams is that I am exposed to shorter clips from groups I don't really know which makes me want to know more about them. I agree with some of the other comments though, if you end up doing more livestreams it would be great to have a little more structure to them so that different groups get more chances to be reacted to. Maybe you could choose a certain number of videos from each group per livestream, and you could still have some free-for-all livestreams to keep that fun randomness factor if you want to. These are all just suggestions though, in the end I will continue to support you because I enjoy hearing your input, regardless of the content format!!

I voted for fewer Livestreams because we mostly only see the same groups in every live stream. So it's hard for small groups to get upvoted. Not complaining tho because I still watch them. But personally, I prefer the variety shows.

I love your reactions because you have much more of a background about things. Concerning the variety shows, i'd prefer the ones like sixth sense or other variety shows that aren't for one idol group. I mean like a normal variety show like "how do you play?" or some other variety show that can have a fandom that'll will subscribe to watch it and at the same time there's variety of people and guests that come which gives it more fun. I don't watch any idol group variety show reaction tbh. If people like it okay, but like you said 15 of them and you gotta continue watching the same people, it might get boring for you even if patrons here are liking it but on the long term it's gonna be just like reaction for the sake of reaction and laugh for like 2 scenes over the whole episode. I prefer the normal variety shows because there's less people reacting to it, (and for me it's an easy laugh even if there isn't your idol in the episode) and the guests can be idols so it's good. I don't know about others but i don't watch idol groups variety reactions but i'm subscribed mainly because of sixth sense and LOUD reactions and the drama club if we can include it.

I love just hanging out and chilling during live streams whether its a reaction stream or just hanging out. As much as I love variety content I cant watch it at work cause I need to read the subtitles. With the live streams its just fun listening to random kpop with you! While I cant always comment cause I'm usually at work it really makes my day go by faster when I get to watch a 4 hour live stream with you! I love it. Also listening parties are my fav content too. I've seen a lot of new videos from your live streams that I never would have on my own so I love that too. Thank you for all your hard work!! Best 10 bucks a month Im ever gonna spend!!

I really love the streams they are some of my favorite content that you do but I was satisfied with less streams just thinking that it was a bit harder on you physically. If you feel like the standing set up and things like that will make those doable for you then I would be ecstatic for more streams even if it means less variety content. My attention span is such that I kind of love us jumping from group to group and song to song throughout the reaction streams and I end up discovering a lot of music too. I think one of the ways to deal with the fact that the streams get skewed to more popular groups would be to further categorize them like it's one thing to do a boy group or a girl group stream but what if we did a stream that was "boy group mvs under 1 million views" or "girl group stream - 2021 debuts only" just things to make the streams more specific so that content that would usually get missed actually has its time to shine and those streams could even be shorter if we don't think we have four hours worth of content for them. Just a thought but either way I think I'm quite happy with the content here my favorite is drama club and survival shows overall.

I don't really watch variety, I'm more about performances when it comes to stanning groups, so I would prefer the streams. I like hanging out. Still, two streams a week sounds like a lot so I would like to kindly suggest that you have a VERY firm cut off point with the streams each week, (ie maybe an 1 hour and a half maximum per stream) so that it's not too over whelming for you. Don't want you sacrificing your health!

I really love variety shows so badly, hope you will react more of them. >3

i love watching variety for the groups that I follow, but even more so I enjoy watching reactions to performances, stages, having your opinion on that and stuff like that. honestly, it's both, having both variety and perf (as well as culture study and listening parties) makes me come to this page everyday to check what we have new! But having 17 shows to watch regularly is freaking a lot. That's not normal for a human being lol, so Im up to cutting the amount! Also, I personally don't really watch drama club, but it's just me. Love watching survival shows tho! Also, content is coming up so much and often, that there is a lot of stuff I haven't watched yet, so even if I have less of smth that I love watching at some point, I can go back and watch stuff that I missed. Now, I love livestreams! Especially when it's only performances, songs, mvs, short stuff. But honestly I rarely come to an actual livestream bc it's a bit too long for me. I would enjoy spending like an hour or two, but doing it for 3-4-5 hours is too much for me. Like, I get anxiety that I waste my time. And I love coming to streams! And I always rewatch if I missed it, but never the whole thing. If it's easier for you, you could cut the time of streaming. But if you just like it the way it is, im ok too! I will just comeback to rewatch by time stamps. Anyways, I love this channel and patreon so much, it's a habit now to check for updates everyday. But I also am up for quality! I think it's completely okay to cut it out a little! Love you!

I voted on this before I knew how healing PD’s streams were. Rewatching your streams have given me company and peace in my tough times, please bring them back!
