Thai member Ten was responsible for teaching Thai language to members and introducing the city. Ten taught how to say hello and other phrases to the members inside a car.

While in Thailand, NCT participated in a popular talk show “Woody Show” as a special guest. Previously, Will Smith, Siwon of Super Junior and Kristen Stewart of “Twilight” series made an appearance on the show. The five boys met with the host Jack Fanchan and had a fun time, including taking selfies together and trying local cuisine.

Apink’s Jeong Eun-ji popped up on the app for the first time by herself to celebrate the release of her debut EP “Dream.” She described her lead track “Hopefully Spring” as a sentimental folk song.

Jeong revealed she is very nervous about the upcoming release. When the music was unveiled at midnight, she listened to it together with the viewers.

“It is finally revealed,” she said. “I thought about my father when singing this song. There are times when just thinking about the past gives you comfort. I hope my song can cheer them up.”

She thanked the fans, staff members, family members and Apink girls for their support while preparing for the album. She bid farewell to the viewers because she had to leave to go practice for her performance Monday.

Girl group Mamamoo members prepared a surprise birthday party for Wheein, whose birthday was Sunday. The 21-year-old blew the candles on various cakes that the fans had sent earlier.
