On Sunday evening, an array of K-pop stars went live ahead of appearing on the year-end music award show “SBS Gayo Daejeon,” to say hello to fans with greetings and reflections.

Wonder Girls tuned in from the green room waiting for the event to start. The girls were especially excited to receive a thank you award from Naver’s V app for broadcasting a makeup and beauty show for the first time on the app.

“It’s amazing,” said Sunmi who hosted the regular beauty broadcast with Yubin. “There were difficult aspects of talking about beauty on a live broadcast, but it was really fun to interact with fans live and share our know-how and tips.”

Yubin thanked the viewers and those who participated in the show, including Girl’s Generation and fellow members Yenny and Hyerim, and said she would appear more frequently on the app next year.

“Only four days left for this year to end,” said Yenny. “I don’t know if your plans for this year all came true, but I hope you welcome 2016 with hopes and dreams.”

“I am very happy because our album, which included songs we composed and wrote, were released this year,” said Hyerim. “We will return with great songs for our fans in the future.”

The excited boys went around and wished the viewers for the new year. “If there is something you regret from 2015, then 2016 is a new start,” said Jackson.
“I hope you will be with GOT7 next year as well,” said BamBam.

“In 2016, I wish you come up with new plans and accomplish them all,” said JB “Be happy, healthy and have a great year. It’s also very important to wrap up 2015 well.”

Rookie girl group Twice also appeared on the app as the girls were getting ready, putting final touches on their hair and makeup. Chaeyoung and Nayeon, who talked on behalf of other members, chatted about their upcoming stage “Ooh-Ahh” on the award show.

Girl group 4Minute also went live backstage. The members played various games, including chanting and singing games, while waiting for their performance, which came later during the night. Gayoon was not feeling well so she played the judge instead of playing games with the other members.

Bo-mi and Nam-joo (Naver V app)

Also on Sunday, Apink members Nam-joo and Bo-mi went live as part of a special broadcast series ahead of the year-end music award show “KBS Song Festival.” During the show, the two talked about noteworthy K-pop news in 2015 and also shared Apink’s top five selfies of the year.

Rookie girl group Purfles appeared for their regular segment “Idol Idol.” The trio went live with their dance instructors to show their dance moves to the viewers and also teach sexy and cute moves to impress the crowd at holiday parties.
