IMPORTANT!!! I have moved to Korea since I created this blog, and I have discovered that many videos – especially ones that are uploaded by fans with English subs – have been blocked on Korean YouTube and other websites. So unfortunately, I cannot watch most of these videos or verify the links anymore. This also means I cannot add as many videos as before because they simply are not available in my region. I’m sorry if you click on something and it’s no longer there, but there’s not really any way for me to check! – Katherine

L.O.Λ.E STORY
NU’EST’s ongoing web series on their YouTube channel. There are LOTS of different episodes, but I embedded the ones most closely related to this comeback (aka their radio show for Love Table). The YouTube channel has a playlist here, but it starts with the most recent videos.

Guests cook a meal and answer interview questions, but they have to be quiet and stay under a certain noise level. If they make a loud noise or talk loudly, the “mom” sleeping behind them will wake up and they have to wear something silly as punishment. (Sometimes it’s a different setting like school or the office, but there’s always a character sleeping.)
THE RETURN OF SUPERMAN
KBS does not upload segments of this show on Korean YouTube, so I can only embed the teaser.

Minhyun and Ren
A lifestyle variety show featuring a fixed cast of celebrity fathers and their children. The men take care of their kids while their wives go off for some relaxing time. Occasionally, idols or actors will appear on the show as “famous friends” of the father.
