Hello everyone, how has your week been?

Admittedly... It's been quite shaky for me.

First, I've recovered from my flu and am stuck with a really bad/sore throat. Unfortunately there is no cure and they said it'll take over a week for my throat to fully recover. So my voice won't be in the best of conditions but I can resume filming (starting with BP! tomorrow; it is currently 5PM KST at the time of writing this)

Second, the Patreon content scheduled for the 25th will be out the 28th and YouTube will still be the 25th as originally scheduled.

Third, I think I may have to take a break in both May and June. June was always meant to be a "break month" for Patreon, but never for me. I had to film all of June just so we could finally be a month ahead on our Patreon again.

But the Moonbin news has hit me harder than expected and I think I need to actually take time for myself for once. I haven't slept since the news first broke and insomnia has been hitting me hard. I'm OK, it's just... Moonbin's smiling face is quite literally haunting me right now. And for me, I think this is a big wake up call to actually take care of myself.

My main concern is that I cannot afford to lose revenue over May and June due to current finances, bills, and business obligations. 

I will consider this more carefully and give you all an informed decision, provide details, after the content drop on the 28th.

Please take all the time that you need. Your health is the most important thing and I think I can speak for all of us when I say that you should rest as much as you need and get better first ❤️ We'll still be here when you come back.

PD take your time. Your mental health and body health are some of the most important things. I will support you even if you don't upload any content.

Please take care of yourself and take the time and space you need - we all support you. This is a difficult time, and grief will manifest differently for everyone. 💛 I hope your symptoms also let up soon, and that there’s a break on your horizon to look forward to.

The important thing is health firstly. So don't feel pressured when you're not ready yet.

Earlier today I went to a cafe nearby which holds a memorial space for Moonbin and I stayed for about 30 mins just praying for him. Don't worry pd, it's okay to take a break as long as you need it. Sometimes a little break focusing on our happiness and health is all we need. I know it's sad but I'm sure Moonbin would want us to fight for our life and find the happiness we all deserve.

Honestly take care of your health first. Even if you won't be posting stuff you have so many things for me to rewatch. I'll stay subscribed the whole time even if you don't upload anything. I'm perfectly okay with that, and I know not everyone can afford to but I can so I'll still be here. And I'm sure there are plenty of us who will still be here even if you're not posting things.

Thank you for keeping up updated. I have also been struggling since the news of his passing but I understand that there is probably an added level of stress since you need to take a break but it comes with financial risks. This is just an idea but hopefully it helps a little or is a starting point for you. I remember when you took a detour of your regular content and replaced it with healing content and how much it helped you then. I understand that you won't have the energy (or time) to react to much but I would recommend giving yourself healing content not only to...well heal you but also ease your mind a bit about financial instability during your break months My personal recommendations • Seventeen in the soop season 2 • Twogether (It's a travel show where Lee Seung gi and a Taiwanese actor travel to locations recommended by their fans) • NCT 127 My trip mates (3 part series of the guys splitting off in groups of 2-3 in Japan) I don't watch a ton of girl group content so I don't have any recommendations at this time. I hope you prioritize you, your health, and your mental health. And if you need to take a break entirely, I personally will still be subscribed to your patreon to support you but also because of the large catalog of content you have that I can enjoy even if you don't post for 2 months.

You do what you need to do to take care of yourself and get to a place where you can create the content that you will be most satisfied with. I hope you have a speedy physical recovery and take as long as you need for a mental one. A break can be scary but it’s important to do so that you can come back stronger than ever. Luckily I can keep my tier even in the break months, best wishes to you and Blaire!

Liv

Maybe even a poll can be set up to see how many patrons would be willing to fund/donate things like a trip to Jeju or if things like a podcast would suffice for your break months

Take all the time you need PD. a lot of us are still pretty shaken up by the suddenness of his passing. it feels wrong to even laugh and enjoy content even the ones ive been waiting all year for like agust d's comeback. if however you do need to continue to make content to support yourself for the month i dont think anyone will have a problem with you doing healing shows again for a while. you and Blaire take care of yourselves.

we completely understand PD. it's been hitting me a lot harder than i thought it would aswell. everytime i'm at a point where i've acknowledged he's no longer with us and that there is nothing any of us can do to change that, i get set back 20 steps as soon as i see anything moonbin related. it could feel like i've finally accepted it and that i've let all my tears run dry but then i see news about him or his smile, his sister ect and i break down all over again or have to fight the tears. with that being said i think if you truly need a mental health break you should without a doubt take it. nobody and i mean NO ONE will blame you for it. we love you PD. <3

I never really listened to ASTRO and the only thing I've seen of Moonbin was his special stage with Sua, but his passing has still had an effect of me. Potential spoiler for content later on but he also appeared in Fearless Kkura and the episode was great. I've been taking a break from Kpop since the news but I think I'm going to start listening again tonight with Blackpink's performance at Coachella. Take the time you and Blaire both need to heal💙
