I just can't draw well at all."

In a conversation with his close friend Kim Choong-jae, he confessed, "After last year's exhibition ended, I counted my works and realized I hadn't even drawn 20 pieces in a year and a half." Gian84 lamented, comparing his current self to his past as a webtoon artist when he used to draw over 100 panels a week. Watching this, SHINee's Key advised, "You shouldn't compare the you back then with the you now," adding, "Just as I am different from who I was 10 years ago, you need to reset yourself according to your current age and situation."

Gian84 pointed to excessive running as one of the causes of his slump. He said, "I ran 240 km in September. That's more movement than most cars," joking, "Running makes you healthier but also ages you a lot."

Gian84 resolved to himself, "I think I need to let go of some of my greed now."

Chimchakman questioned Gian84, "Why do you have to receive praise?" and suggested performance art combining Gian84's eccentric acts with art. He proposed, "Put paint on the soles of your feet and run," calling it 'running painting,' which made everyone laugh. Gian84's struggles resonated as a universal issue, offering empathy and comfort to viewers.

Meanwhile, Code Kunst created a daily schedule to become a 'planned person.' He revealed, "It usually takes me about two years to complete an album, but now I'm entering the third year. I started to think I might not be able to release an album even by the end of this year." Code Kunst organized and carried out ten household chores by time slots, including cleaning the refrigerator, eating, and cleaning the vivarium of his pet lizard. However, as time went on, the chores piled up, causing laughter.
