NCT’s Doyoung is spending meaningful time with the people he cherishes ahead of his military enlistment.

Set to premiere on December 10 at 6 PM KST, the TEO YouTube web variety show 'Thanks Buddy Club' follows a project in which Doyoung prepares a warm, homemade meal to express his gratitude to those who have supported him. His story will unfold over two episodes, capturing special moments as he reflects on his friendships before enlistment.

A star-studded lineup will join him. BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, GOT7’s Jinyoung (Park Jinyoung), TVXQ’s Changmin, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, Jonathan, musical actor Park Euntae, fellow NCT members Johnny and Jungwoo, as well as baby influencer Taeha, will appear as 'Thanks Buddy Club' members, each sharing heartfelt stories and unique chemistry built with Doyoung.

Jisoo and Jinyoung, who co-hosted SBS Inkigayo with Doyoung in 2017, have maintained their friendship for eight years as the “Jin-Ji-Do” trio—nicknamed after the first syllables of their names. Their appearance reflects their ongoing loyalty, reminding fans of their first days together eight years ago and raising anticipation for the reunion.

Also joining are senior SM artists TVXQ’s Changmin and Red Velvet’s Seulgi, Jonathan—who bonded with Doyoung while studying Korean history together—and musical actor Park Euntae, who shared a role with him in the musical The Man Who Laughs. Each guest brings a unique connection to Doyoung, making viewers curious about the stories that will unfold.

Fellow NCT members Johnny and Jungwoo will also be at the table, along with popular YouTuber and baby star Taha, who famously captured Doyoung’s heart. A surprise guest will join as well, adding even more excitement. As Doyoung spends time with the people who mean the most to him, the episodes are expected to become a memorable gift not only for him but for fans as well.

'Thanks Buddy Club' will be released in two parts on the TEO YouTube channel:

• Episode 1 on December 10 at 6 PM

• Episode 2 on December 17 at 6 PM
