The awkwardness is back and better than ever in this special edition of AWSAZ, kicking off with a brilliantly mismatched pairing – Winwin and Jisung. From the get-go, both members freely admit they’re awkward around each other, which is pretty much the perfect starting point for this show’s brand of uncomfortable magic.
This time around, Haechan and Hendery take over the in-ear roles, and while they’re not a pairing we see too often, their chaotic chemistry makes them an absolute menace. The two of them find it far too easy to throw Winwin and Jisung into increasingly cringey situations – though Jisung seems slightly more comfortable navigating the chaos, maybe thanks to his growing experience with this wonderfully painful format.
In a fun twist, the hosts themselves join in some of the missions, bringing a more classic variety show energy into the mix. But make no mistake – the heart of the episode remains rooted in beautiful, awkward silence and forced small talk that we all know and love.
With an unexpected pairing, chaotic hosts, and plenty of second-hand embarrassment, this special edition of AWSAZ delivers exactly what we hoped for – and then some.
