Despite resolving his problems with Pakgo in previous episodes, Hobin’s latest issue involves his struggles with Taehoon and the dangerous consequences it could have for him. Yet, what sets this fight apart from previous ones is Hobin’s newfound ability to ask for help from Gaeul and Snapper.

Despite Hobin’s recent success, he continues to receive numerous threats, and Taehoon is no exception. In fact, he even went as far as beating Snapper and demanding that Hobin surrender his NewTube account. Although they engage in a fight, Taehoon ultimately proves to be the stronger fighter.

The most memorable moment of the episode, however, was the conversation between Snapper and Hobin. This moment allowed them to have an open and honest discussion, with Snapper even shedding tears in front of Hobin as he expressed his disappointment in his own behavior during his interaction with Taehoon.
