Viral Hit episode 6, which will be released on Thursday, May 16, at 12:55 am JST, is expected to continue the story of Yoo Hobin, a young man who is struggling with life.

Episode 5 focused on Hobin's problems with Pakgo, who has been seeking vengeance for some time after the former beat him and recorded the fight. It also highlighted how much Hobin has improved as a fighter and how he has managed to get the most out of his new move, the low kick, to defeat one of his longtime bullies in the process. Episode 6 of Viral Hit hints at the arrival of his video editor, among other things.

Recap of the previous episode

Episode 5 focused heavily on Hobin's development as a fighter and his understanding of what makes a good fighter, which he is gradually learning throughout the series. The character's brewing conflict with Pakgo also took center stage.

Pakgo was particularly irritated with Hobin and his newfound success as a NewTuber because it started with the latter recording his beating of the former at the start of the series. In that regard, this episode could be seen as the culmination of that conflict, as these two characters had their own final confrontation, with Hobin emerging as a more developed character as a result.

The standout moment of the episode was probably Hobin making use of the low kick he learned while training, which was enough to beat Pakgo. This goes to show that he has improved as a fighter, but that he still has a long way to go.

Viral Hit episode 6 will most likely focus on Yoo's next stage of life as a NewTuber and his efforts to improve his social skills, particularly when it comes to engaging with women, as well as his growth as a fighter. It is also highly probable that the episode will feature new characters who will fight, as well as others who will become involved in the story as it progresses.

The preview of the upcoming episode also showed the arrival of a young girl who is very likely to be the video editor of Hobin's YouTube channel, which is something that was hinted at in said preview.
