Christmas season was over a month ago, but boy band JYJ’s member, Junsu had something special prepared for his fans. It was his first live broadcasting on V app, and fans were delighted with the singer’s spontaneous, but thoughtful gift.

He went over the controversy about his absence at the 25th Seoul Music Awards held on Thursday. He said that he could not attend the ceremony although he was voted the “most popular singer.” However, he relieved his fans by showing the trophy that he’d received from the event.

The 29-year-old also sang a brief tune from the musical he’s currently starring in as male lead, “Dracula.” Next, he showed some personal pictures and explained what he’d done recently. The singer said that he’d enjoyed some Korean street food, flaunted photos of his hair dyed in red, and told what his favorite drama of the moment was.

Junsu also said that he wanted to have a “talk-concert” to communicate with his fans. Updates on JYJ’s other members came up too. He complimented the demo version of Yoo-chun’s solo album, saying that it truly showed his colors. On the demo of Jaejoong’s album, he hinted that the album was full of music with different genres. Both members are currently serving in the army.

He wrapped-up the special show by wearing several cute items and looking embarrassed about it at the same time. Most importantly, he promised he’d stay strong for his fans, especially “in times like these.”

Rookie girl group, GFriend also made its debut on V app. The members started off the broadcast at the backstage of Seoul Music Awards and looked excited to be there. They showed off their black-and-white fashion and jokingly teased each other. Member SinB was teased that her attire made her look like a teacher.

The singers also said that they were unfamiliar with the V app system, and were amazed at the live-streaming service. They reminded their fans of their new teaser footage and asked them to check it out.

The group showed their “girlfriend”-like bright and youthful charm. They complimented their fans, saying they were very pretty and proud of them.

After their photos were taken on the red carpet, they prepared for their stage. They acted just like how the girls their age should be -- full of energy and spirit.

Their backstage journey showed how professional the group was and how much they thought of their fans.

Last, but not least, female-rapper Kisum posted footage of her eating Vietnamese pho and fried rice. Her “mukbang” made her viewers and fans crave for some fine Vietnamese dishes.

After tasting the food, she even forgot to talk. When her manager requested her to “talk,” she jokingly replied, “Talking while eating is a disgusting habit.” She finished her food with grace and recommended the dish to her loving fans.
