QWER shares relatable Chuseok family stories in new podcast
K-pop group QWER discusses holiday traditions, from PC room trips with cousins to 'flexing' at department stores, in a candid new podcast.
The group QWER hosted a podcast featuring various family anecdotes in celebration of the Chuseok holiday. In the video released on September 23, 2026, the members candidly shared their respective holiday plans and their roles among their relatives.

"Aiming to be an S-class relative"... From PC rooms to department stores, the members' holiday survival methods
The members provided specific examples of how they spend time with their younger cousins during the holiday period. Hina revealed that she spends time going to PC rooms or buying ice cream with her four younger male cousins. Hina introduced herself as "a Captain America-like figure who creates peace during the holidays," noting that she even "buys FIFA in-game items for my younger cousins."
Chodan shared how she gives pocket money to her grandparents, describing herself as a "Flex older sister who takes them to department stores to buy clothes." The members responded to these actions by calling her an "S-class relative" or an "SSR-class relative." On the other hand, Siyun explained that she holds the position of the "youngest" and an "aunt" within her family. Siyun said, "As an aunt, I want to be good to my nieces and nephews by giving them cash gifts or buying them new semester gift sets." Siyun added that even when she was living in Japan, she made sure to give pocket money to her nieces and nephews, such as giving 50,000 won to a kindergarten-aged nephew to boost his confidence.
"Let's earn it by working fairly"... The correlation between holiday food prep and pocket money
The members' activities related to preparing holiday food were also revealed. Hina mentioned her habit of liking to organize and tidy up, saying that if she helps with housework or clears the dishes during the holidays, she receives pocket money from the elders. In response, the members empathized, saying, "We earn it fairly by working fairly."

Meanwhile, the members reminisced about their holiday memories from childhood. Chodan shared an anecdote about how she once cried out of embarrassment while performing a talent show in front of her uncles; as a result of performing through the tears, she received 100,000 won. Siyun added that when she was a child, she didn't speak much and didn't receive much attention from adults, but since becoming an adult, she communicates by being more affectionate and taking care of her elders.
"Establishing discipline"... The realistic holiday scenes of eldest daughters and older sisters
Episodes involving family dynamics during the holiday period continued as the members discussed the "hierarchy establishment" that occurs in their relationships with younger cousins. One member revealed an anecdote where, when a younger brother wouldn't listen, she responded by tackling him and covering him with a blanket. She explained that discipline was possible because the sound of cooking prevented the noise from being heard outside.
In particular, the members humorously discussed the realistic difficulties and strategies of dealing with younger cousins who are physically larger, stating, "You have to establish discipline before the male cousins grow up." The members shared opinions that establishing a hierarchy is necessary beforehand because it becomes difficult to deal with male cousins once they grow physically larger. This podcast was conducted in a group podcast format, which was a first for QWER, focusing on the members' everyday conversations.
