With Naver’s latest broadcasting app “V” gaining momentum here, K-pop fans are wondering how and where they can watch their stars go live to interact with global audiences in real time.

Korea’s largest portal site Naver launched the beta version of “V” on Friday. The Android version was unveiled first and the iOS version will be released later in mid-August for iPhone users.

The real-time broadcasting can only be watched via mobile app. Meanwhile, iPhone users or those without the app can watch the recorded version of the clips immediately after the show on their PC, via Naver’s streaming site TV Cast.

Naver has set the time slot of 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. daily as V-Time to highlight the live shows of different stars, which will feature an array of contents ranging from the star’s live concerts to their daily activities, all with real-time English subtitles.

To enjoy “V,” users can download the app on Google Play and log in with their Naver, Facebook, Line or Twitter accounts. Users can select as many stars’ V channel as possible, and they will be notified about the stars’ schedule on their mobile phone.

The stellar lineup of participating stars include Big Bang, Wonder Girls, 2PM, BTS, AOA, Beast, Infinite and many more. For more information, visit www.vlive.tv
