Patreon Update!
Added 2024-06-18 23:06:54 +0000 UTCA little update so you all know our current mindset about Patreon and what's going to be going on with Patreon for the next few months!!
First we would like to say a little about what's going through our heads and how we're feeling about Patreon
Our current workload is extremely tough on us. At the moment we work almost everyday and it's a big deal if we somehow get a day off. Comebacks come out of nowhere or we need to film a few videos for Patreon for the day. Work is just everyday for us and with Han's autoimmune disease acting up recently it's hard to get everything done. We try to catch up and even prefilm but filming itself takes a toll and is quite tiring.
With that being said we are not trying to complain or say that we need to cut back. What we're trying to explain by telling you all of this is that even though its hard we love what we do. We love reacting and we love Kpop and the groups we react to. BUT because we're always at the edge of burnout, to keep enjoying what we do we have to enjoy what we're reacting to. Our mental health depends on it. When we're getting ready to sit at our desk for hours and hours reacting we want to not dread it. We want to be genuinely excited to react. We want you all to have fun watching us and we want to be having fun as well.
We mostly enjoy variety content from groups, scripted shows, funny interviews, travel shows etc. We're not big on behind the scenes, and vlogs most of the time are not good for reacting. It's not as fun to react to content like that unless they are our ults. Everyone has ult groups that you would consume any of their content from. We are the same. We will keep reacting to those because we get excited to watch them. But for others it's not the content we want to watch from them and that is okay. It would be ridiculous to assume that every group we react to we want to consume every piece of content from them. And honestly we don't have the time to. We want to get to know many groups. Watch their best content. Have fun. I know you all may have different favs then us and you would love to see reactions to that type of content from your favs but we just don't have the time to watch every piece of content from every group.
With that being said now knowing a little bit how we're feeling we're going to state some changes to our platform and also reiterating some ways in how it is and will be working.
Unless something extremely peaks our interest we will mostly be reacting to variety content from groups. That means no behind the scenes content, livestreams and vlogs. (Ults not included/Soloist) (This rule is lenient if the case is that we are still getting to know a group and they don't have much content/ we don't think we got to know them enough.)
If we run out of content from a group that fits that category they will be placed on a temporary hold until they release variety content. Just because we stop reacting to a group for a bit doesn't mean we don't like them. It just means another group has some content that we are looking forward to enjoying.
We may move around groups content drops depending on releases of a new content. Such as aespa moving to Fridays or Le Sserafim moving to Wednesdays.
The days things drop are NOT set. It is a tentative schedule to help us get everything out in a timely manner. Life situations happen and because our schedule is so tight one bump in the road can push release back a day or two. Please be patient.
We will start implementing a strict max 21 slots for content during the week, with it realistically sitting at 18 for 3 reactions a day besides Saturday. This will result in some groups dropping in and out randomly. We will update you all monthly and/or after a last episode of content if a group is being put on hold and if a group is coming in.
Some notes and rules for the community to think about
Think before you comment. If we think it's in the best interest to temporary put a group on hold and our comments are filled with hate, we probably won't come back to the group for awhile. We want to enjoy what we are doing and we want this to be a community that isn't revolved around negativity and hate.
We ask for your opinions to see what the communities thoughts are. But nothing is final. We have final say. As soon as we start catering to everyone is when we will no longer enjoy our work.
We know you all enjoy and look forward to certain content, but think would you enjoy it if you felt like you were forced. We won't react how you want us to react and it will be a negative situation for both parties.
Last we are only 2 girls working on putting out content that hopefully you guys will all enjoy. We are not a tv provider and network with a whole team backing us up. Try to remember that we are only human and have feelings and we are trying our best.
Changes in schedule:
Like we said some groups have been moved around
Le Sserafim to Wed. and IVE to Sun.
aespa to Fri. and Dreamcatcher to Sun.
Groups being put on hold now
XG (we've watched their variety content)
Groups being put on hold in the next couple weeks
tripleS
Mamamoo - We've been reacting to them for a long time, we think its time to give other groups a chance and we've been struggling for awhile to find content to watch We'll be finishing off a few shows then they'll be put on hold until something comes up! (Hopefully they won't be gone for long!)
Group coming in

Comments
I always wondered why people throw hate to reactors if they don't react to certain stuff or when they to late with dropping content. they just humans trying to entertain everyone with their content and loving the groups they want. I guess the people doing aren't human, I mean try doing what they doing if you know better

2024-06-21 14:36:07 +0000 UTCThe snowboarding vlogs to behind the scenes of photoshoots is just as fun as the other.

2024-06-20 11:53:58 +0000 UTCI’m so glad SNSD is staying where it is though!
Kev B
2024-06-20 07:50:00 +0000 UTCYeah, I LOVE their variety shows—don’t get me wrong, they’re funny af and they were made for those 😂. But personally, I think if you want to get to know them more as a group and really understand their individual personalities, the vlogs and BTS content are a better route than the variety shows.
XG’s_Hitman
2024-06-20 05:42:16 +0000 UTCJust do what you think is best! You guys need rest too and I think most of us will definitely understand if you take breaks or have to make changes to your line up. It keeps things fun and interesting as well. 😸 Hope Han feels better soon. 💖
Liann Garcia
2024-06-20 04:02:39 +0000 UTCThey better than the variety shows. They’re turn personalities shine in them.
Dylan Bollinger
2024-06-20 00:14:10 +0000 UTCI kinda figured they wouldn’t react to them and It sucks that I was right lol cuz XG’s vlogs and bts are some of the most entertaining ones I’ve seen yet!
XG’s_Hitman
2024-06-20 00:12:12 +0000 UTCThank you for always working hard and being honest with us. Please enjoy life outside work because work shouldn't consume us. I hope Han's health gets better.

2024-06-19 22:53:53 +0000 UTCFirst, get a good night's sleep, enjoy delicious food, and get plenty of rest. Of course, I know this is a money-stakes issue. But at the same time, we are hobbyists. There is no one to push you two. The reason I subscribe to you two is to have fun together, not to watch you suffer like machines.
태규 하
2024-06-19 16:49:55 +0000 UTCI always wondered how reactors like you guys who watch so much content on a daily basis don't get that saturation point. I'm actually an avid reaction-watcher is there ever was a hobby lmao, so even for me I have to stop watching them for a whole week, and only then my mind gets refreshed to watch reactions :) So, I completely understand if you wanna make changes to schedules and take some days off in-between, if any, to come back refreshed.
Johnny Deep
2024-06-19 16:25:37 +0000 UTCIt’s better to listen to your body and take more breaks and watch what you truly enjoy, then to push it and end up having burnout. The main reason I subscribe to the patreon is you guys, so I will be happy with whatever you’re watching, as long as you enjoy it :)
Daisy_7beauty
2024-06-19 16:04:43 +0000 UTCReally appreciate all the content you are giving us. We just enjoy your reactions very much. No pressure, you two just do what you wanna do, whatever makes you happy!!
HeyIamCC__ 「詩詩」
2024-06-19 12:46:17 +0000 UTCThat’s a shame cause XG vlogs and behind the scenes videos are great and entertaining
Dylan Bollinger
2024-06-19 12:26:48 +0000 UTCIt will be the 2nd anniversary of me subscribing to this channel in two more months. I've always enjoyed the reaction content you all making, because you are people who truly know how to enjoy all the videos. I used to follow several different reactors in the past, but I've stopped following them all now. The main reason is that they always tried to include too much different combined video content on Patreon, leading to them being overloaded. Or else I could feel their passion fading away as they went along. Seeing your increasing video content, I started to worry that you all might not be able to handle it either. So I think it's great that you can express your thoughts and rearrange your schedule! Please take care of your health, and bring us more quality videos in the future~ Love you~ ❤️
Rian
2024-06-19 10:21:43 +0000 UTCAs a multi GG stans, you guys are probably the best reactor on Patreon right now. With the amount of reaction and consistency, I always wondered how can you guys still keep up your schedules while delivering such a great content. I want to say we are very appreciated for your efforts and will also understand and respect your decisions too.
RoNNieTP
2024-06-19 10:05:10 +0000 UTCYou guys quite possibly have the greatest Patreon ever for multi gg stans! As long as you are enjoying the content, we will too dw! Thank you for everything you've been putting out ❤️
winterluv
2024-06-19 09:33:29 +0000 UTCYES wjsn omg, but I also wanna add glad to see you guys stepping back. It can be challenging to get content out every day, and health is far more important than anything. You guys have amazing reactions. First Patreon I actually bought lmao, but that's how much I like the reactions!
MøOn シ
2024-06-19 08:38:17 +0000 UTCYou're probably the most pro-active reactor/creators I've seen , which is great as a viewer but know how tough it must be on you guys to manage such a workload. Appreciate the update and hearing your perspective on how things are going. Been a long time supporter and don't see myself going anywhere so do what yall gotta do :)
Rainedrop
2024-06-19 07:25:52 +0000 UTCYour health is the most important ❤️
iamwizone
2024-06-19 06:56:45 +0000 UTCLove your content!! Its important to focus on your own health ❤️ Dont be to hard on yourself girls☺️ Im excited to see your future contemt

Apollo
2024-06-19 04:33:46 +0000 UTCGlad to see you guys are taking your own health into consideration. Even if people whine, your content is good and people want to watch it. If they are really mad they can stop paying at any time, I think the majority of us are just happy to see the content you guys put out! Keep up the good work, and stay healthy!
Sage
2024-06-19 04:28:34 +0000 UTCAre Dreamcatcher Notes considered variety content?
Kev B
2024-06-19 03:45:38 +0000 UTCThe only thing that makes me a little sad is the Mamamoo hold, but it makes perfect sense.
Kev B
2024-06-19 03:45:04 +0000 UTCYou do you ladies, do what you think is best for you. It is also nice to see you reacting to the shows you genuinely like, it will transcends beyond the screen. Thank you for being transparent about this.
Rain Drop
2024-06-19 02:21:38 +0000 UTCno other reactors come close to you guys , you guys are you the only one's that feel like you are doing it out of love and passion for kpop and not just to get paid your reactions are genuine take care and stay healthy and thank you for putting me onto other groups
JordanGumbo
2024-06-19 01:27:50 +0000 UTCNo worries!! Take care of your wellbeing and health first and foremost, and react to whatever you guys enjoy the most. Wishing you all the best ❤️❤️❤️
Ayjayy
2024-06-19 01:25:10 +0000 UTCI appreciate the fact you guys are always come forward to let us know was is going on. Take your time, stay healthy and safe. Hope we can continue only with good vibes and nice content 🥰
qdebu
2024-06-19 01:13:14 +0000 UTCThere's too many groups and too many contents to watch! Can't really expect you guys to get to everything. These changes are a-okaaaay! Please prioritize your health. Thank you so much for helping me relive TWICE's early days!!! It's very fun to watch you react to their early contents <3
CC
2024-06-19 01:10:16 +0000 UTCYou guys are the only reactors I enjoy watching because I can see that you genuinely love what you do. I hope you never get tired of it or lose the joy that K-pop brings you. So go ahead and feel free to make any changes that make things easier for you. We'll keep enjoying the content you put out. 😊

2024-06-19 01:09:31 +0000 UTCHey Kess and Han, I want to start off by saying how much I love your genuine reactions and passion for K-pop! Your enthusiasm is infectious, and it's something I look forward to every day - ending my day with your content has become a routine I cherish. It's what keeps me going, and I'm so grateful for that! Your enthusiasm for K-pop was what drew me in to your Patreon content, and I appreciate the effort and hard work you both put into creating content for us! I'm also grateful for your dedication towards reacting and wanting us to always have content to watch. Also, thank you for being so raw and open with your feelings; it just shows how much this means to you guys, and also how much we mean to you both as well. To some, your content may seem like just another reaction, but to me, it's always something I eagerly anticipate. I cherish your content so much! I love watching K-pop content firsthand alongside you both, as your reactions complement the content perfectly, making it enjoyable for me and many others. Your reactions are more than just a video - they're an experience that brings me joy and makes me feel connected to the K-pop community. Side note, Twice is my ULT group, and seeing how much you guys absolutely LOVE the girls really makes me feel so connected with you guys while watching you react to them, as I feel the same way too! Just like every time y’all just gush at how awesome and pretty Jihyo is in her I Live Alone series and how y’all are lovestruck by Tzuyu for just being her adorable and funny self, these are just so so relatable as a Twice stan myself! As for me, I think you both have already pushed out a remarkable amount of content, and honestly, I haven't even had the chance to watch all of it yet! So, even if y’all don't manage to upload on time or decide to take a break, I'll still support you guys and enjoy the content you've already created. Your hard work and dedication haven't gone unnoticed, and I'm really grateful for everything you both do! Please don't overwork yourselves! Your health is really your utmost priority, and we really wouldn't want to see you guys burn out 😢. I still remember how disappointed you both were when you couldn't attend Twice's Day 2 concert last year due to being sick. Being sick really isn't it, and we wouldn't want to risk your health over anything else. I saw that you guys secured tickets for the upcoming (XG) concert, so it's important to take care of yourselves and stay healthy so you don't miss it!! It'd be a shame to waste the money as well… Do take breaks when needed, and don't worry about slowing down content pace! I’ll support you regardless, and I'm sure many community members will understand! Remember, filming, reacting, and editing daily content is an impressive feat🫡 !! Don't let the negativity from those selfish viewers or haters get to you; Also I’m really sorry for all those people who only want you guys to push out more content and not even think about how busy and overworked you are 😓. But do know that I, and many of us here, really understand and will support you guys even if you take things slower or have your own plans! Focus on your love for K-pop and your joy in sharing it with us. Seeing you guys healthy and happy when reacting makes us feel happy as well! Keep doing what you love, and do take care of yourselves. Thank you for being amazing creators, Kess and Han! And as the K-community says, 화이팅! (Fighting!!) 💪 From one of your fellow Patrons (and also Twice stan), Jovan
Jovan Ng
2024-06-19 00:56:07 +0000 UTCHonestly I’m so happy to hear you are planning to cut back in order to take care of both your physical & mental health…a little surprised you took this long! By all means put out a schedule that is in your best interest! You’ve been unbelievably generous with your time & effort so don’t for a minute feel like you need to explain anything, obviously! Anyway, thanks for the update & heres hoping you are both well! Sorry that you have to put up with some negative bs comments…that sucks!
Davids12345100
2024-06-19 00:50:08 +0000 UTCthank you for the update! your needs are def first priority over all else and i hope the changes that you make reflect what's best for yourself! i rly appreciate the amount of time and effort that you put into releasing content and i hope you never stop truly enjoying what you do!

2024-06-19 00:43:53 +0000 UTCThanks for your transparency, it’s very appreciated ❤️ Your healths and entertainment should always come first!
jjade
2024-06-19 00:37:01 +0000 UTCI'm sorry you guys deal any hate comments and with so much pressure. We're here to see you enjoy what you're reacting to because if you're not enjoying it then the reaction won't be enjoyable. I will say I'm here for Twice, Dreamcatcher, Itzy and any potential future P1Harmony, Billlie and/or Astro; I'm sure we're all here for specific groups but at the end of the day you two are the ones who bring us here together. If you guys need to take a break, take a break. You guys are only human. Thanks for the content y'all <3
Call Me AK
2024-06-19 00:32:12 +0000 UTCI've always liked your videos when we can feel your excitement so it totally makes sense to drop types of stuff that doesn't bring that spark. Also the max slots is a smart idea to moving towards a more sustainable schedule - honestly, y'all put out a lot already and health is no joke. If you need to shift more, cut down, etc, please do it. The transparency is appreciated and most importantly, I hope y'all take care of yourselves!

2024-06-19 00:11:41 +0000 UTCMakes lots of sense to me! As always, looking forward to your videos 👍
そら
2024-06-19 00:05:52 +0000 UTCPersonal well being is above all! I relate to that mindset, where if something is pushed on me, it’ll only cause me to push it away and associate it with negative feelings, making it harder for me to give it a chance. Your space, your choice, your rules. No one should be disrespecting y’all in your space. I look forward to when you post content I enjoy, but I’m never going complain if there is nothing for me. Please get rest when ever you desire, if someone complains its their problem. You put you first 💕
Jian Jal
2024-06-18 23:58:36 +0000 UTCI hope you work out a method that’s comfortable and manageable for you guys! Wishing the best of health to Han and thank you so much for everything you do. I hope you continue to have fun doing this for as long as you want. 🤍
Bria A.
2024-06-18 23:54:21 +0000 UTCIt makes perfect sense. Do as you please as it's your platform. To be completely honest, if you guys aren't reacting to content I'm interested in, then I'd leave your Patreon until you guys start reacting to content I DO want to see. It's as simple as that. But I don't expect anything from either one of you, just like I don't expect anything from say, Netflix or Hulu. It's fine, guys. :)
Yesk Blanco
2024-06-18 23:54:02 +0000 UTCI love the way you guys handle stuff like this. I totally relate to not always wanting to watch something. Sometimes if a group I follow releases something, I can watch like 1 or 2 episodes straight away, but then even if my brain wants to watch the rest I have this feeling of mental fatigue and just need a break. I know I personally love you guys and your content, but your guys' health is WAYYYY more important than myself and others getting constant videos. We can always find something else but with heath you only have 1 body of your own to take care of. I'm glad you guys aren't going to push yourselves to the brink of exhaustion. You guys make my day with whatever you post or upload, I am grateful for what I can get. Thank you guys for making most of my sad days better, I hope you guys can fully enjoy whatever you watch next. Thank you 🙏

2024-06-18 23:49:29 +0000 UTCSo this might not go over well with all of the patrons here, and I do realize you need to decide what's best to maintain your base of supporters. But I am worried about burn out with you two even with the changes you outline above--your pace is already quite high for a kpop reactor patreon. What you release is, imo, honest and interesting, and I really appreciate it. And so I'd be totally okay with you shifting down to two tier 1 releases per day with some groups--even groups I love--going to bi-weekly. I'm thinking groups like fromis, red velvet, the incoming wsjn, and even Dreamcatcher (there's always tier 2 for folks who want to get their weekly DC fix). I'd especially be okay with it if it meant you'd be able to take full days off more often. I also don't know if this would be feasible since I'd imagine it's the fervent fans of particular groups who support you, but maybe there could a wild card slot once a week or every other week for you to try to content from groups you don't know well and want to try out. In short, I want this to remain fun and manageable for both of you and hope that many of my fellow supporters feel the same. Thanks for helping me discover or rediscover so many amazing groups.
Will
2024-06-18 23:44:42 +0000 UTCI first joined the Patreon bc of your content on Mamamoo but lately I've been feeling your struggles to keep bringing new content when the reality is that there isn't a lot of new things coming out from them as a group. So I completely understand your decision. And I'm sure you will check anything of importance that comes up in the future. Plus.. you girls work hard to make worth it being in here! So I just wanna say I fully appreciate your work and dedication.

Jojomelody25
2024-06-18 23:26:59 +0000 UTCI totally understand!! Your guys' mental and well-being comes first and foremost and burnout is a thing because people aren't robots they are humans. Take the time whenever you guys need to rest. I love the content you guys put out, and I would hate for you to feel forced because of the amount of videos and you too should also be able to enjoy the content/filming process. I hope everything soon will be much easier/less stressful and thank you guys for putting out the content you put out I truly appreciate it!!
Kpop Stan
2024-06-18 23:26:44 +0000 UTCI totally get it, coz I’m the same. I rarely watch behind the scenes and vlogs. I’m much more interested in variety content. I feel like variety is much more dense re: funny/interesting moments. So I kind of just rely on shorts to show me funny moments from BTS/vlog videos.
Jaketwo
2024-06-18 23:22:42 +0000 UTCSounds good. I'm enjoying your reactions.
Tiffany jackson
2024-06-18 23:22:33 +0000 UTCWhatever is best for y'all, that's what you have do. I definitely understand the not wanting to react to everything every single group puts out. It's exhausting. And honestly sometimes not that interesting. I love the changes and the boundaries that y'all are setting. Healthy Kess & Han is a Happy Kess & Han. Thank you for all the hard work and effort that y'all put into these videos. It doesn't go unnoticed. And it definitely brightens up my day. ❤️
Sofia Sanchez
2024-06-18 23:19:17 +0000 UTCIt’s genuinely so impressive how you’re able to put out so much content on both youtube and patreon without extra help and it just being you two. We appreciate every second you put into this. I’ve seen some unclassy comments here and there and apologize for them though i actually cannot understand why someone would pay to be here then be rude.. but anyway all the adjustments you’re doing make sense. As a multi stan i get the difficulty of dealing with so many groups at a time so trust me it’s understandable. There’s many of us here that love everything you put out because we love your reactions!!! It feels like watching my fav content with my friends. You’ve introduced me to so many groups that are now my favs so keep doing what you’re doing unapologetically! Love you both and thank you for your hard work!
rheaaaz
2024-06-18 23:17:32 +0000 UTCEven without all the reasons explained here, you guys have always been so good at being consistent and it always seems like you try to make the content worthwhile for us. It's the same as with the groups themselves, if more content is at the expense of health or anything like that, it's not worth it. Thanks for telling us!
Hans Olav
2024-06-18 23:17:14 +0000 UTCPersonal wellbeing comes first! And if you burnout, then no one is happy! Thanks for the update
pmreez
2024-06-18 23:16:59 +0000 UTCCompletely understandable, as you mentioned everyone has their favs but watching you guys react has introduced me or familiarized me more with so many groups that have then become some of my favorite groups I think I have rarely found any creators that react to as much content and groups. I'm very happy I found your content and it really does bring joy to watch fun content along with you guys. I understand the pressure and stress that is constantly on your shoulders but I hope yall know it does not go unnoticed !! and very excited for some more WJSN content I hope you guys can enjoy it as well !
Loui
2024-06-18 23:16:51 +0000 UTCI enjoy the reactions when you guys enjoy them so rest when you need and make the changes y'all need. 👍🏼

2024-06-18 23:15:56 +0000 UTCAlways wondered how yalls workload was since Patreon and YouTube is always popping off lol I’m glad yall were transparent and to the point. Hope this helps your mental and gives you the recovery yall need/deserve
Sal
2024-06-18 23:15:50 +0000 UTCI have seen how other reactors can burn out and nobody wants to see it happen. Even though it can be mentally draining, I hope you can continue enjoying this. <3
SolidCheshire
2024-06-18 23:15:37 +0000 UTCThat's completely fine. Y'all reacting to stuff you don't care about makes for boring reactions, so it's a good thing to cut those out. I agree that vlog/bts stuff makes for awful reactions, I personally already skip those reactions so I'm all for cutting those out. Sticking to music+variety is the way to go.
KoalaDolphin
2024-06-18 23:15:25 +0000 UTCTake your time guys, i personally dont do this type of work but i can see and imagine how hard it can be. Us fans will support and wait for our group’s turns whenever you guys think is a fit timing if time ever comes. We appreciate all the hard work🩷put yourself first
Maetzin Vargas
2024-06-18 23:15:20 +0000 UTCyou guys have clearly put a lot of thought into this and are trying your best to give out content, i enjoy the patreon and the changes don’t effect that enjoyment :) I just like watching stuff with you guys!
relax friend

2024-06-18 23:13:07 +0000 UTCHonestly good for both of you for setting boundaries, and thank you for being so open about it with us! Sad to see XG go for now (though completely understand why, and I’m hoping they have another variety show sooner rather than later) and I’m also super excited for some more WJSN on the channel 💞 Be sure to take time off if you need to, we all understand that life and work gets in the way of our health sometimes, and that always should come first! Much love 🩷
