Where to watch Viral Hit episode 7?

Recap of the previous episode
After Hobin managed to resolve his feud with Pakgo in episode 5, the bulk of the latest one was focused on the introduction of Gaeul, who is going to be the channel's video editor, and also on setting up who is going to be his next fight. The most interesting part of the episode was the upcoming challenge and how much of a toll this could take on Hobin.
When it comes to Gaeul, she was a part of Hobin's newfound success as a NewTuber because it means that he is now in a position where he can afford to have a professional video editor. Gael's introduction endeared her to the fanbase from the get-go, which also included Snapper picturing a future where they are together and Hobin is their dog, although this was played as a joke in the episode.
The standout moment of the episode, though, was the introduction of Taehoon and his upcoming fight with Hobin. He was a very imposing figure, to the point that Hobin was terrified at the idea of fighting him, which is why he got a few weeks to prepare for the battle.
What to expect from Viral Hit episode 7?
Viral Hit episode 7 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. The bulk of the next episode is probably going to be focused on Hobin's training and perhaps even glimpses of his potential fight with Taehoon.
