On the cusp of his long-awaited return to the stage, K-pop star Roy Kim spent some one-on-one time with V app fans Tuesday.

Bringing along his trusty guitar, Kim spent much of his hourlong broadcast serenading fans in what he referred to as, “songs from a winter man.”

The singer-songwriter sang a number of his favorite easy-listening singles perfect for the upcoming snow-filled season, kicking off the show with his acoustic rendition of veteran artist Jeon In-kwon’s popular “Don’t worry.”

Kim told fans about his deep-rooted respect for Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice, singing Rice’s “The Greatest Bastard” and “9 Crimes” as per a fan request.


Label mates Ailee and Wheesung joined forces to give fans a little preview of two’s collaboration concert.

“Right now we invited you to join and at our studio where we have come together to practice for our upcoming performance,” said Ailee. “We just wanted to give you fans a little taste of what’s to come.”

“Actually we haven’t practiced or prepared at all so may make many mistakes, please don’t be disappointed,” Wheesung added with a smile.
The duo spiced up the broadcast, showing off their vocal range and R&B flair, even taking a stab at Usher and Alicia Keys’ 2004 hit track, “My Boo.”


In the comforts of a cozy salt spa, Yura of Girl’s Day spent time with fans away from her other group members.

“Today’s episode is all about telling me about your worries, having a Q&A session and as promised, I will have a phone date with one of my fans,” said Yura as fans immediately started posted her phone numbers in hopes that the starlet would choose them for the phone date.

Greeting fans personally on the phone and asking some to make a poem using the characters of her name as a game, the Girl’s Day member made a select number of fans some of the happiest people on Earth on Tuesday.

“I talk so much, please call me!” wrote one fan. “If you don’t call me today I’ll die!”

And call she did, to which the young female middle schooler repeatedly screamed in disbelief.


Also on yesterday’s V app line-up were the stars of boy band BTS as well as silver-screen stars Jung Ryeo-won, Lee Dong-wook and Park Hee-bon who talked about their new tvN drama series, “Bubble Gum.”

Naver’s real-time broadcasting app V allows fans to interact with their favorite K-pop stars through live broadcasts. The app is available for Android and iOS. For more information, visit www.vlive.tv.
