I’m surprised by this channel because there isn’t any team (on air today). No vikisubteam, no viki staff, no CM… I’ve seen new channels with “vikisubteam” while they are on air. Then, there was a CM assigned and a team of OL moderators. But here without nobody, it’s really new. It will be a new topic for this new year 2026 > channels without teams and viki staff.

You can’t apply to CM on the channels page anymore, but you can still apply here:

The requirements for a channel to be volunteer or staff managed remain a mystery though

Jin is listed as a Japanese drama on Viki, and The Veil seems to only be getting new presubs. There is a team there.

I can’t open both channels, so I don’t see a team there
