Why Koreans care

At Hanyang Women’s University, Jisung is asked to perform a 한양여대 (Hanyang Women’s University) 사행시 (sahaengsi, four-part acrostic): an improvised word game in which each line begins with the next syllable of the four-syllable prompt. Watch for him starting with a compliment about the university’s students, followed by the members celebrating his attempt.

In the Korean comments

One comment says the real change is the return of waiting-room footage: “For a while, they showed us almost nothing from backstage, but the recent behind-the-scenes videos include a lot of it, so they’re much more fun.” Another compares this new access to the revival of the old NCT DAILY channel, “but now it’s DREAM only.”

What the words mean

자컨 (jakon, in-house content) abbreviates 자체 콘텐츠 (jache kontencheu, self-produced content). Literally it is “content made by oneself,” but fans use it casually for a group’s own recurring web videos, including behind-the-scenes and variety material—not simply any video featuring the group.
