Viral Hit Episode 8 recap
The episode picks up where the previous episode left off, with the fight between Hobin and Taehoon taking center stage. While Hobin has been training for weeks, he realizes that Taehoon is unlike any opponent he has ever faced. Taehoon then attacks fervently, which proves too much for Hobin, but his never-say-die attitude keeps him in the match.
Elsewhere, Bomi watches the match despite still being angry at Hobin for not contacting her. Meanwhile, several members of his class also stream the match. Hobin is able to bring Taehoon down, but it had been all a setup to get his shoes. Taehoon repeatedly attacks Hobin, believing he has incapacitated him, but the latter gets up eventually.
He showcases the fruits of his training and successfully incapacitates Taehoon to secure the victory. The latter acknowledges his defeat, telling him he can have Newtube. The episode ends with Hobin celebrating his victory and growing fanbase.
