Sehun initially appeared on V app at around midnight, but there were problems with the Internet connection since as much as 500,000 fans logged on in just a few minutes to watch him live.

Adopting a “skyping-with-boyfriend” concept, the singer casually interacted with fans. When a fan asked him to speak in Busan dialect, he tried, asking fans if they had eaten.

After an hour-long segment, Sehun kissed fans goodnight.

Chanyeol began his live broadcast with a list of his favorite dance music tracks. He then fielded questions from fans, talking about his favorite subjects, TV dramas, movies and so forth. When asked what he would be doing if he hadn’t become a singer, he said he couldn’t even imagine a life with a different career, demonstrating his love and passion for music.

He also said he enjoyed playing videogames when he was a trainee. “I was really good as well. I often visited a video arcade in Yeonsinnae, and I used to win 10 consecutive games, too.”

“Lately, I’m making miniature cars,” said Chanyeol, even showing off a video of his minicars.

The second episode of “TWICE TV” aired on V earlier in the day.

The members, except for Mina and Momo, who have a fear of heights, took on a pirate ship ride at a theme park in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

“I really want to get on a ride but I can’t,” the two exempted members apologized. The members seemed a little nervous at first, but soon, enjoyed the ride, even singing their hit track “Ooh-ahh” on the swinging ride.

The singers also took few minutes to play a game to win Churros.

Wonder Girls member Yubin also appeared on V on her way to an autograph-signing event for fans.

When asked about the hip-hop audition program “Unpretty Rapstar 2” she appeared in, she said it was the first time she had performed a song as a soloist since her debut nine years ago.

The cast of upcoming JTBC talk show “Ask us Anything” also went live, introducing the show and its set-up.

The program featuring Kang Ho-dong, Kim Hee-chul, Kim Young-chul and Seo Jang-hoon deals with things people are dying to find out about, and airs every Saturday on JTBC.
