On August 24th, at 8PM EST, a mod announced kuz had returned from his trip and would be making a live appearance, the first one since 2019 according to kuz.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220824231841/https://soyjak.party/suggest//res/506.html</ref> The thread was met with excitement. At 8PM, kuz, as fortold, arrived on time. A sticky was made on soy which surpassed 1000 replies in about an hour.<ref>[https://archive.ph/wip/UBmq2 https://archive.ph/UBmq2]</ref> Kuz answered questions for roughly the same amount of time. Though not much relating to the sharty itself was discussed, the stream provided some key insights into kuz and his plans for the site at the time. Notably, a plan to "step away" from the internet until Christmas. He also discussed a photoshoot at the bequest of some posters in the thread.

The stream, albeit abbreviated, received substantial attention despite being sudden and unplanned, with about 298 concurrent viewers at its peak.

On December 17, Kuz did another livestream, which was entitled "KUZSTREAM 2." This livestream was a bit higher profile due to Kuz's possible acquisition of 4chan, which Kuz said was still in the early phases, if it was to even happen. Kuz also announced that he was finalizing acquiring two other sites, which he did not name. Kuz also addressed some of the recent changes to the 'party, such as jump.kolyma.net links and the new report feature.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkpXI0a5eNI</ref>
