In this edition of our K-Variety Taster, we want to spotlight a YouTube show that has been steadily gaining traction, led by none other than NCT’s Johnny. Let’s take a closer look at his latest variety venture, ‘JOHNNY SAYS‘.
The first episode of ‘JOHNNY SAYS‘ aired in 2025, introducing viewers to the concept behind the show. As Johnny explained, the goal is simple: helping people by giving them advice. Throughout the series, people share their concerns with him, and Johnny responds with candid thoughts and practical advice while trying to keep his famously logical “T” personality in check, a playful nod to his ENTP personality type.
What makes the show even more entertaining is its unique twist. Rather than handling every situation on his own, Johnny often recruits fellow singers, entertainers, and artists to join him on the streets and help offer advice to people willing to share their concerns.
The debut episode aired in October 2025 and saw Johnny taking to the streets of Hongdae, meeting people from all walks of life and offering thoughtful, and often humorous, advice on a variety of topics.
Since then, Johnny has invited an impressive lineup of guests to join his advice-giving adventures. Among them are fellow NCT member Jungwoo, entertainer Jonathan, Lee Chae Yoon, WINNER’s Kang Seung-yoon, and many others.

‘JOHNNY SAYS‘ is a hidden gem that perfectly showcases Johnny’s charm, humour, and genuine personality. The show strikes a great balance between comedy and heartfelt moments, making it an easy and enjoyable watch for both fans and casual viewers alike.
We have loved watching Johnny explore this new project and can’t wait to see which guests join him next. Be sure to keep up with new episodes through the show’s Instagram account, and let us know in the comments if you’re as obsessed with this series as we are!
