T-ara's Hyomin hosted her live-streaming show "Nice Cook Bang" at 7:20 p.m. from her kitchen.

"Here is my kitchen, and I wanted to show you how to make simple snack," she said, donning a pink and white apron.

"I will make spinach yogurt today because it is healthy and I like the color green."

She also gave some cooking tips before making the yogurt. "When you parboil the vegetable, add some salt and the greenness and freshness will last a little longer."

After parboiling the spinach, she dried it with a paper towel and cut it into five slices. Then, she put white yogurt, honey, almond, salt and spinach together in a bowl and mixed it in a blender.

Soon her green yogurt was done and she showed it to the camera with joy.

At 7:40 p.m., the eight-member girl group Nine Muses appeared, with all of them donning white shirts and black hot pants in a waiting room. The members gathered after their fan club's inauguration ceremony ended.

They all looked cheerful, saying, "Today is like our birthday. We are so happy to have this ceremony in the lead-up to the release of our new album."

At 8 p.m., Indie band 10cm had a surprise busking performance in Hongdae, a busy district in Seoul, in the lead-up to their new album.

Surrounded by around 2,000 fans, they presented hit songs including "Americano" and "Give a Hug." For the last song, 10cm presented their new sweet, soft track "October Weather."

Main vocalist Kwon Jung Yeol said, "Tomorrow, we are going to see you again from our hotel suite via Naver's V," to mark the release of their new album.

Secret's Hyoseong met her fans at 9 p.m. to mark Hangeul Day, which celebrates the creation of the Korean alphabet.

"Today is Hangeul Day. With Korean pop culture becoming popular all over the world, the interest in learning Korean has also grown among our foreign fans," she said, adding, “I feel proud when they talk to me in Korean.”

With the show featuring the learning about Korean language, she asked some questions about the language.

She asked, "When did King Sejong -- who created the written language of Hangeul -- announce Hangeul to the Korean people?" A few seconds later, fans began to write "It is Oct. 9,” and she said, “Correct.”

Then, she gave a little more difficult question, asking, "How many consonants does Hangeul have?" This time, there were more varied answers but the correct one was 14.

A little later, musicians from hip-hop label Brand New Music appeared on the live-streaming show at 10 p.m.

Hosted by rappers Hanhae and MC Gree, musicians Kanto, Yang Dail and Kang Min-hee appeared as guests.

On the show, the emcees asked Kang to sing a song requested by viewers. Many singers' names were mentioned by the viewers and MC Gree and Hanhae said, "Oh. There are many people requesting IU's songs."

They soon said, "Don't even mention IU. I am personally sad," referring to her relationship with singer-songwriter Chang Kiha, making other singers laugh.
