And just like that, another episode of LEAVEN had aired.
Which meant—another night, day, afternoon… whatever time it was—the world tuned in.
And when the world tunes in, so does the internet.
Supportive. Loudly unhinged. Proudly cringe.
This episode focused on the aftermath of the article fiasco and how deeply it had affected the trainees. It also highlighted their time in Switzerland—reuniting with family, loved ones, and the pieces of themselves that had been shaken loose.
As soon as the episode began, viewers were reminded of what Akesh, Adel, and the other former trainees had done—what they had released into the world.
The stans were seething. Some cried. Others comforted each other through screens.
@Rumi: I swear! Them lunatics should be rotting in prison right now! Look what you did to these poor boys 😭😭😭 please don't cry!
→ @Yoyo: You right! Where the hell are they anyway?
→→ @Hiro: Probably hiding in a ditch somewhere. After the verdicts from all those court cases dumped on them, I'm pretty sure they're scared to show their faces ever again.
→→→ @JiN: Like… I still don't understand how they could do something like that 😭
→→→→ @Suke: At the end of the day, they fucked up—and now they're paying for it.
Then the episode cut to an interview with Jordan.
He proudly held up his grocery list of legal claims, all courtesy of his law-student best friend.
The internet erupted.
Seeing a victim stand firm—prepared, informed, and ready to fight back—lit something fierce and joyful across timelines.
@LegalEagle: I'm proud of Jordan's best friend for helping him file these claims. Their studies are clearly paying off—every single one of these is valid. The strategic maximization here? Truly outstanding.
@overcaffeinated: HAHAHA THAT'S RIGHT JORDAN, SUE THEY ASSES!!!
@MileyCircus: That's one hell of a grocery list 🤣 Go Jordan, we support you!
@Future_Atty_Luke: THAT'S MY BOY RIGHT THERE!!! I'm so proud of you babe! Jiayou!
→ @EdwardCullen: Wait—are you the friend Jordan was talking about? 😳
→→ @Future_Atty_Luke: The one and only. Future Attorney Luke, reporting in 🫡
→→ @EdwardCullen: Dude, you're such a great friend. I wish I had someone like you.
→→→ @Corn⭐: Are you and Jordan dating? Just asking since you called him babe.
→→→→ @Future_Atty_Luke: @EdwardCullen Thanks, man! There are a lot of people like me out there—I hope you find your person too.
→→→→ @Future_Atty_Luke: @Corn⭐ We get that a lot 😂 But no—I'm straight and I have a girlfriend. I just call Jordan "babe" as a term of endearment. PS: my girlfriend is also friends with Jordan and she encourages it. She's a hardcore fujoshi.
→→→→→ @Corn⭐: AHHH a fellow fujo!!! Please say hi to her for me 🤭
And slowly—after such a heavy start—the mood of the episode began to lift.
Next came the moment Tuesday announced the trainees' vacation to Switzerland.
@Hyouka_Icecream: Sanaol all-expense-paid Switzerland trip 😭😭😭 I wanna be there taking pics with my baes!!!
@Gilgamesh: Imagine a company actually sending their trainees to Switzerland—for free. What timeline is this? Is the world finally healing?
→ @Totoro: That's just Bread Music and Sir Foca. They're built different.
→→ @RokuRoku: Nah dude, they're galaxies away from the rest of the industry. Free Switzerland trip? In this economy?
→→→ @Gilgamesh: Sadly, I 1000% agree. My expectations for entertainment companies are buried somewhere near the earth's core.
By then, the episode had fully transformed—from heartbreaking to heartwarming.
Viewers cried as the trainees reunited with their families.
Then cried again when the trainees held an impromptu jam session in the hotel lobby.
It was healing in a way that snuck up on you.
Some viewers didn't even realize it at first—that they, too, had gone through something similar. Watching the trainees heal felt like permission to heal themselves.
The episode shattered its own records in viewership and engagement. It trended across platforms, sparking conversations far beyond fandom.
It even birthed a movement—netizens demanding entertainment companies treat their artists better. To see them as people, not products.
It was just one episode of LEAVEN.
But it did exactly what it needed to do.
Heal the world—
even if it was just for a bit. 💛
