Over 2,500 fans gathered at an outdoor stage near bustling Gangnam Station to see the trio unveil songs from the new album “The Voice.”

The trio sang new songs “Heart Beating” and “Good Memories” for the first time before releasing a much-anticipated album on music sites at 10 p.m. The band also performed a string of hits, including “Timeless,” While You Live” and “Partner for Life,” with fans singing along.

“This is first stage with all the members after four years,” said member Kim Yong-jun whose eyes were filled with tears.

“When I was singing, all the good memories passed by and it was overwhelming,” said Kim Jin-ho.

Singer Eric Nam was back at 10 p.m. for episode 3 of his regular show “Time Out.”

“Everybody, I am in a place called Seochon, this is near Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung in Korea,” said Nam, speaking both in Korean and English for fans abroad.

“There are lot of cool shops, restaurants and cafes here,” he said. “It’s my first time here as well. But I thought I would come here and do a ‘meokbang’ and eat a lot of good food.”

He first checked in at Chin Chin Yankee’s Diner, an American diner, and talked with the owner, while showing the viewers around the restaurant.

Nam ordered the most popular item on the menu, the original cheese burger. When the food was out, he took a big bite and devoured it.

“I already ate dinner, but it’s really good,” he said and took a sip of beer as well. “I don’t eat at night these days to reduce my belly fat, but I am eating for this program.”

The cheeseburger was only the beginning of his food extravaganza for the evening, as he went to two other restaurants, including an Italian restaurant Enoteca ChinChin -- where he had dinner earlier -- but went back to grab a bite of tortellini and cannelloni.

The evening’s food theme continued at 10:30 p.m., as 2PM’s Wooyoung and Nichkhun went live for the third episode of cooking show “OkJangKhun’s Recipe M.” This time, the program’s third member, Taecyeon, could not join again due to his drama shooting schedule.

During the episode, the two boys went to make kimbap -- Korean rice rolls -- in front of the camera. The boys focused on creating their own unique styles of kimbap. Wooyoung used cheese, hot pepper and seasoned burdock roots to make a spicy kimbap, while Nichkhun used cheese, egg, crab meat and mustard to make “yellow kimbap.”

2PM’s manager was the final judge of the kimbap challenge and he picked Wooyoung’s kimbap as the winner.

For next week, they decided to make pancakes, and urged Taecyeon to show up this time.

Both iKON and Winner checked in separately to announce their upcoming special live broadcasts on Friday.

“For the summer vacation, we will appear five times to provide you with various activities, ‘meokbang’ and different content,” said Kang Seng-yoon of Winner. “Look forward to our summer vacation program.”

Meanwhile, at 11 p.m., Hyejung of AOA tuned in for her show “Fox’s Secret,” where she did pilates to make a summer-ready, fit body.
