Recap of episode 11

As aforementioned, the majority of the most recent episode focused mainly on Hobin and his team as they dealt with the Comedy Crew in a fight, with the protagonist doing most of the heavy lifting. It is also worth highlighting that Bomi had to deal with the threat of his stalker in this episode.

Hobin's newfound success once again proves to be a major driving plot, as he gets a lot of new subscribers because of this fight. It is a different case to the previous ones because it shows how much joy Hobin is taking from fighting— something that highlights a major difference when compared to his early days in the series.

The standout moment of the episode, though, was how Hobin managed to ask Taehoon for help to improve as a fighter. He proved to be his biggest and hardest opponent to defeat thus far in the series, so it makes a lot of sense he would want to learn from him, although Taehoon didn't make it easier for him in any shape or form.

Viral Hit episode 12 will most likely focus on Yoo Hobin's next stage of life as a NewTuber. It is very likely, this being the final episode of the season, that it is going to give a conclusion of sorts for Hobin's character.

The episode might also be setting up potential plot points if a new season is confirmed.
