With a booming voice, the girls shouted out, “Hi, we are I.O.I!,” showing their excitement. As Yeunjung started singing “congratulations,” other members hummed along.

The girls talked about how they were extremely nervous for the live show. “My dad even cried because he was so happy for me,” Somi added.

In the middle of the broadcast, Sejung suddenly asked for suggestions from fans on what they wish to see on the channel. They each read out a few comments they received, collecting various ideas for their future programs.

Dressed in a flower-patterned blouse, Lim started her first ever broadcast on V. She was backstage at the studio of MBC’s “Section TV Entertainment News.”

She was extremely satisfied to see her fans, calling out the names of those who left comments during the show. She also made mini hearts with her fingers, showing her love for fans.

K-pop septet GOT7 went live on V to congratulate themselves on winning first place in SBS’ music program “Inkigayo.”

The members yelled and screamed in joy. “We couldn’t have done it without you,” they said, thanking their fans for the support.

Each member then took turns to send short messages to their fans, despite the fact that they were in a hurry to get to their next schedule.

Cosmic Girls appeared on V with their fifth episode of “Expedition to Earth.”

Dayoung revealed that the girls were in the southeastern port city of Busan.

“Here we are at the Songjeong Beach. It’s my first time actually,” Exy said, although her hometown was Busan, surprising everyone.

When she asked other members if any of them were visiting the city for the first time, almost half of the group put their hands up including Dayoung, Xuan Yi, and others.

Due to the cold weather, the girls quickly ran inside to the restaurant. Continuing their broadcast, they enjoyed orange juice and snacks.

Cosmic Girls were disappointed that they couldn’t film the broadcast on the beach, as it was raining. However, they still kept smiling throughout the show, actively talking to their fans.

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 http://www.vlive.tv.
