So it seems there won't be a Europe/LATAM tour next year. I don't get it, I really don't.

2 albums, hoping for 1 full Korean at least and not 2 minis again

2 Kids Show sounds fun

Was worried that it just might be the usual schedules and things. But they worked extra hard in 2022 so it also makes sense. Excited for all their 2023 releases nonetheless

...at least I get to imagine I could get money by 2024 (I won't)

I kind of think it's going to be two minis again since so far, both full albums were specified as such in their respective Step Out video. Of course, it could also be a full album and a repackage, and the video editors just decided it would be too long to put on the screen. In the latter case, any Japanese originals on the Japanese album could be released in Korean on the repackage, although so far Fam is the only unpromoted Japanese bside to be released in its original Korean version too so idk honestly. Either way, if it's a full album and a repackage, I'd like to imagine the promotions of the latter could be more laidback since it's a repackage (while full album promotions and mini promotions aren't necessarily that different; I swear they had more schedules this year to promote Maxident than they've had for Noeasy). But since they're releasing a longer Japanese album, and potentially another seasonal single like Christmas EveL, I'm leaning more towards the two albums being minis...

Do you think there's a chance their strategy for 2023 changed due to recent success of Case 143 in Japan?

I'm bad with words... but now that I have some alcohol in my system, I'll give it a try.

2022 was my first full year knowing you guys, and now that it's come to an end, I'm hit with sudden feelings of nostalgia. Exactly one year ago today, I was at one of my lowest points in life. Today, I'm at one my highest. And I can't help but feel like interacting with you throughout the year contributed for a massive improvement in my quality of life and overall well-being. I cherish every minute we spend together, let it be on site A or Z, discord or twitter. As long as we are together, I feel at ease to be myself. I have no doubt that you guys were a massive reason why I'm so much happier than I was one or two years ago. The day of my birthday where we all watched the SKZ concert together was quite honestly one of the best days I've had in the last 2 or 3 years.

I know I can be annoying, difficult to talk to and have had my worse days. But like real friends you guys were there for me to cheer me up, or to calmly wait until I was feeling better.

What I want to say is: thank you all of you, for being such an amazing group of online friends. All of you are amazing people, hard-working, inspiring, talented, funny, pretty as hell (the one faces I've had the privilege to see!) and most importantly, just the sweetest and most genuine people I've come across with on the web. Those are rare. Most people in the Kpop fandom just want clicks, attention, popularity, to drag everyone but their faves, and be fake. But you guys are just genuinely good people. Even if I don't know you in real life, I know that is the truth because that's what months and months of interactions and unforgettable moments together have taught me. I'm very very thankful for the friendship we built and I hope in 2023, and in many years to come, our interactions will continue to be endless.

As 2023 is only a bit over 2 hours away from me, I take this opportunity to wish you all a fantastic year, full of health, happy moments and memories, money, love, and all good things life has to offer. And remember that when you're down (because not feeling at 100% everyday is more than normal), or when life is a bit more tough, you can always count on me, and on each other, to be there and keep you company. Let it be on discord, twitter, site A, site B, wherever it is.

My fam @hxney_jun @Minazuki @Fifi @Venom @CITY @cle @quarkie & lito, ray and xoxo

Love you all loads. Happy New Year!
