And just like that—another week, another two-hour episode of LEAVEN had aired.
Which meant one thing and one thing only:
people rushing home from school and work, takeout bags abandoned on counters, group chats lighting up like Christmas trees. Watch parties were in full swing. Families crowded around living room TVs. Friends piled onto couches, yelling at screens like the trainees could hear them.
Fan. Casual. Hate-watcher. Didn't matter.
Once LEAVEN came on, everyone tuned in.
And with the episode airing came the inevitable flood of live tweets—opinions hot, cold, and downright feral.
This week's episode focused on the second evaluations, and the internet had a lot to say.
@momoji: Honestly, it's really refreshing to see the trainees be given so much freedom for their evaluations.
-> @Rumi: Imagine still failing with that kind of freedom… they can't really blame anyone but themselves.
--> @Yoyo: You'd have to be an actual idiot at that point 😮💨
@Edward Cullen: Why do I feel like the show is really pushing Kang Ian? Ever since last week, he's been getting so much screen time. Is it just me?
-> @Miley Circus: begone, hater!
--> @Edward Cullen: Dude, calm your tits. I wasn't even hating—just stating an observation.
---> @Miley Circus: Then why the hell are you singling out Kang Ian, huh? At this point just admit you're trying to stir shit. I can smell that tactic from miles away 🙄😒
----> @Edward Cullen: You are insufferable. Why does everyone online run on a single brain cell?
------> @RokuRoku: I'd suggest shutting up now. You're only making it worse.
--------> @Edward Cullen: Why would I shut up when the internet is free for everyone?
A tale as old as time: one harmless comment, five replies later, and suddenly it's a full-blown digital street fight.
@Madoka-San: It's so nice seeing young people bursting with passion. I wish something like LEAVEN existed when I was younger. It would've helped so many kids follow their dreams.
And then—the performances started.
And the internet lost its damn mind.
@Hyouka_Icecream: KANG IAN!!! THE MAN THAT YOU ARE!!! YOU ARE AIR THAT BRINGS LIFE!!!
@Hyouka_Icecream: I'm forever loyal to Kang Ian, but MIKA??? WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM?! He just showed up like a wrecking ball!!!
-> @CaliforniaMaki: You know what? Valid. Ryu's been my bias forever, but Mika is bulldozing his way up the list.
@SirenCoach: That high note from Mika just cleaned my ears. Absolutely superb.
@RicoCharges: It's insane how they can look so masculine and so beautifully feminine at the same time.
Of course, balance must exist in the universe—so here came the chaos.
@BlueVelvet4eva: They butchered the song!!! I hate it!!! How do I unhear this 😭😭😭 Boy groups should stay away from girl group songs!!
-> @Minasoo: Tf?? They sounded amazing. Are we even watching the same show?
--> @Loyalist: Judging by the username alone, engaging is already a mistake.
---> @BlueVelvet4eva: I STAND BY WHAT I SAID. They're fucking dumb for choosing this song. Disrespectful as hell. Kang whatever can't rap for shit, and Mika sounded like a chicken being strangled. Idgaf what y'all say—they ruined the song 🤬
Ah yes.
The unhinged ones had clocked in for work.
Despite that, Kang Ian's group was drowning in praise. Still, there was always that corner of the internet—loud, angry, and apparently powered by spite and bad vibes.
As the episode rolled on, viewers around the world cheered for their favorites.
@GatchaDegenerate: Leo representing the gacha and gaming community LET'S GO!!
@Lorena_MD: Ryu and Corsair for the win!!!
@Totoro: Isaac, sing your heart out!!!
But praise always comes with its evil twin.
@Gilgamesh: The first team was absolute ass. Argue with the wall.
-> @Cancelled: I didn't want to agree but… yeah. That was rough.
@Yoyo: @Rumi you totally jinxed them 🤣
-> @Rumi: Damn… yeah, that was dog water 🤢
@GoldenHamster: What kind of stage name is Dragoon??? Be fr rn 😭😭 I can't take him seriously!!!
@SirenangGabun: How did Akash and Adel fumble THIS hard???
-> @Consumerism: Song choice really matters. This was painful.
--> @Carmen_on_FF: They didn't fumble—they shot themselves in the foot and kept pulling the trigger.
And then—
the moment.
The highlight of the episode.
The Kweens and Bobby.
@Cake_Enthusiast: Bobby sir??? I was NOT aware of your cake game 😳 I was sat, gagged, and shooketh to my core.
@FFonBio: I felt the earth shake with how hard they shook their asses. Yes, Bobby is a diva. Fight me.
@Corn⭐: They ate and left NO crumbs 💅💅💅
@QueenOfEngland: Bobby ripping his shirt off is my new wallpaper. My new personality. My religion. 🤤🤤🤤
@Joe: Innocent Bobby is DEAD. Welcome twunk daddy Bobby. Bobby top me!!!!
@alpaca: Watching Mothers and their Son slay was a GAG. A beautiful time to be alive 💅
The internet was not safe from the absolute annihilation delivered by Aqua, Pink, Javi, Kitty—and Bobby.
Within hours, their performance climbed the trending charts, birthing a viral dance challenge that spread like wildfire. Parents. Kids. Pets. Questionable uncles. Everyone was in.
And just like that, LEAVEN wasn't just a show anymore.
It was a global phenomenon.
