“In Japan, I’ve released three solo albums and gone on a solo tour,” said Junho. “But it’s my first concert in Korea, and the songs were all in Japanese. We went through a lot of preparations to put the songs on stage. I haven’t been able to sleep.

“I kept tweaking the lyrics and recorded overnight, in addition to carrying out my usual schedule. Physically, it’s been draining but emotionally, the fact that I could put on a concert was so strengthening.”

On the title of the concert, Junho explained: “I wanted to give my all on stage like it’s going to be my last night in Seoul.”
After the show, Junho popped onto V once again to hear fans’ responses and say a big thank you.

“We’ll be returning soon as 2PM. Our members have been meeting and discussing our next album a lot. ... Thank you everyone for your support. This has been an unforgettable night.”

The music video for Park Kyung’s solo track “Ordinary Love,” featuring singer Park Bo-ram, was released on V app Sunday. The mellow, rhythmic song is a sweet ode to the early stages of love, and written by Park Kyung himself.

In celebration of the release, Block B members gathered on V to offer advice to fans struggling with love. One fan asked, “What do I do when my ex-boyfriend calls me up for dinner?” to which Block B replied: “There’s a good chance that he met a new girl, but started missing what’s familiar. That’s probably why he called.”

The two models, in an hourlong broadcast, answered fans’ questions about love and relationships. When a fan commented that she had a lot of male friends but was never able to get a boyfriend, Kang wholeheartedly sympathized, asking: “Me too. Why is that?”

Model Jang said: “If you like someone, you should be brave and express how you feel. I think it’s disarming, but charming, when women are bold and approach men first.”

Other fans sought advice on how to approach their crush, and how to act naturally around the opposite sex.

Sunday’s V broadcast featuring BTOB captured the whole hectic process at the 2015 Hallyu Dream Concert held in Gyeongju. The boys hopped off their van, ran down the red carpet, posed in front of the photo wall, answered reporters’ questions to a swarm of flashes and microphones, and waved brightly to squealing fans lining either side of the walk.

Moonbyul and Solar of girl group Mamamoo spent time chatting with fans and answering odd questions in a broadcast that nabbed over 1 million “hearts.” One fan, who was enlisting for his mandatory military service on Tuesday, asked to be consoled; others asked the girls to sing “Girl Crush,” the group’s latest release and soundtrack for a mobile game. Solar recommended her favorite film, “Infernal Affairs,” to fans, adding that while she didn’t really watch drama series, she enjoyed movies every now and then.

Moonbyul and Solar also explained that the four girls of Mamamoo -- additionally including Wheein and Hwasa -- have moved out of the group home and each gotten their own places.

“But we still live in the same building,” they explained. “We’re still as close as ever. We just thought it would be good to have some privacy and personal space.”
