NCT's Doyoung is set to appear in a new variety show produced by TEO, a content production company founded by PD Kim Tae-ho.
Premiering on December 10 at 6 PM on TEO's YouTube channel, 'Thanks Buddy Club' is a heartfelt project where participants express gratitude through a warm meal. This YouTube original series, released in two episodes, captures Doyoung as he reflects on friendships and spends special moments with cherished individuals before his military enlistment.

The lineup is impressive, including BLACKPINK's Jisoo, GOT7's Jinyoung, TVXQ!'s Changmin, Red Velvet's Seulgi, Jonathan, musical actor Park Eun-tae, and NCT members Johnny and Jungwoo, along with star baby Taeha.
BLACKPINK's Jisoo and GOT7's Jinyoung share a bond with Doyoung from their time as MCs on SBS's 'Inkigayo' in 2017. Known as the 'Jinjido' members, they have maintained a strong friendship for eight years. Their participation highlights their loyalty to Doyoung as he prepares for military service, evoking memories of their initial collaboration.
TVXQ!'s Changmin and Red Velvet's Seulgi, who share the same agency, along with Jonathan, who bonded with Doyoung over Korean history studies, and Park Eun-tae, who shared a role with Doyoung in the musical 'The Man Who Laughs,'(웃는 남자) are also anticipated guests. Each participant brings a unique story, drawing attention to their interactions with Doyoung.
NCT members Johnny and Jungwoo are also invited to the meal, joined by million-subscriber YouTuber and star baby Taeha. A surprise guest adds to the excitement, promising memorable moments for Doyoung and his fans as he creates new memories with loved ones before his enlistment.
'Thanks Buddy Club' will be available in two parts on TEO's YouTube channel, with the first episode airing on December 10 at 6 PM and the second on December 17 at 6 PM.
Meanwhile, Doyoung will enlist as an active-duty soldier in the army on December 8. No special events will be held on the day of his enlistment. SM Entertainment has requested fans to refrain from visiting the site to ensure safety, as it is a space shared with many military personnel and their families.
