JULY SCHEDULE (Patreon)

Get ready for July!

We're entering into the thick of it this month as we bring back our regular idol variety content and amping up more of our additional releases.

The most important update: We are posting every weekday again ONLY for the month of July and possibly August. The ONLY reason is because we are fixing our master archive content right now and for our Internet here in the US it is just way too slow to handle a single comeback drop release. From a scheduling standpoint too, while we fix this archive we release almost daily.

I know it may sound confusing that posting everyday is easier than posting only once a week but that's just our current situation. Once we are in Korea it is actually way more beneficial for us to only post once a week.

I'm doing this because it's way easier to guarantee 4 videos being out on time everyday rather than like 15 in one day (with our current Internet speed), but especially so because we're fixing our backlog content.

Bonus Drops are now purely being defined by the category that they are add-on reactions to my initial Kulture Study. 

To explain it a little deeper, basically a music video Kulture Study reaction only forms maybe 20% ~ 50% of my final thoughts on a song or comeback. B SIDE music videos, dance practices, live stages, studio chooms, live vocal performances--these are the priority as it helps me round out my thoughts on a song or comeback, and based on your guys' reaction I think you guys will agree that you want more of that too.

Contents like Idol Human Theater or any other long form variety content will fall under idol variety content. We'll be adding them into our schedules as bonuses for any groups I personally want to see more of. This will be the case for a lot of "rookies". If a group ever really "moves" me and I become a super fan, they will earn a spot on our regular variety content roster (to do txt, going SVT, etc.) Such cases will most likely be rare but it should give you all a better indication of what groups have really captured me.

As for bonus drops specifically this month, I don't have a specific list but if there is a listening party scheduled for this month then it will be getting bonus drops and as mentioned above they will largely be focused on singing and dance!

*Note: LeeMujin's will still fall under BONUS DROPS.

Guaranteed Lee Mujin Bonus Drops for this month (it's not on the calendar because I can't write it): MINNIE, SEUNGMIN, HAN, I.N, HONGJOONG, JONGHO

This month we're going harder on our regular variety contents and taking a step back from the other YT variety. 1) because none specifically interest me and 2) I've got a lot more else on my plate this month with listening parties!

July and August will be listening party heavy as I am catching up on comebacks still. In July I'll also be beginning the process of making my move to Korea. I'm aiming for a mid August move so this month I need to work legal issues, packing, and filming August contents in advance.

I know July content looks like a lot but I worked hard during the month of June so about half of this schedule is already filmed. 

I also know that inevitably some people will be disappointed by the content and listening party choice. Specifically I wanted to do more NCT contents. Taeyong has an album, NCT DREAM is doing a Japanese debut and a Korean comeback soon...

It was a difficult decision but I'm putting more focus on Stray Kids and our regularly scheduled content this month. Instead I'll be packaging NCT as a whole and putting focus on Taeyong, DREAM, and DOJAEJUNG in August.

Specifically I feel bad pushing DOJAEJUNG into August but I hope NCTzens can understand that I'd rather not take your money twice in July and August. I'm just trying to make it as cheap and financially more of a "deal" for you as the individual so that is my decision in grouping way more NCT content into August. I'm also hoping to have my entire NCT backlog fixed by then so NCTzens can enjoy it all without any issues.

I just want to once again apologize that it's taking so long to get everything "situated". I've been fucking up my organization for years and it's taking longer than we expected to fix everything. Specifically, now that we are done recovering every video that we can and starting to upload, I can tell you that we have 3000+ videos and over 7TB worth of footage. 7TERABYTES.

It's a lot. But I truly believe these next few months will be worth the wait and the investment to keep our Patreon clean and organized into the future.

With that said the website will probably have to wait. As much as I want to build one ASAP there wouldn't be a point without most of the backlog archive fixed so that's our #1 priority this month.

But I hope you enjoy the scheduled content we have for July! It's a lot of work this month but thankfully I'm prepared, a decent amount is already done, and I'm grateful to have the opportunity to film the rest for you this month as well.

I hope my work brings you all laughs, fun, joy, and maybe even tears. Make sure to hydrate and work hard at our own individual goals for the month! I've got a few days left in the month so I'm going to breathe a little and KICK IT 4 NOW~~~
