- their individual 2020 recaps: pre-pandemic & pandemic.

- their perspectives on COVID-19, the pre-existing racial tensions, and conspiracy theories.

- Josh's current perspective on music, his admission that he viewed music as a drug and an idol in 2020, Nalu's deployment stint in 2019 and missing out on multiple trips to Korea due to the pandemic and Holo's life without social media.

- the main thing that the guys lost that they took for granted in 2020 and the biggest silver lining they found in the pandemic.
