BTS members celebrated the record-breaking feat with a V app live show that featured them having Korean barbecue for dinner Thursday.

“It seems like just yesterday when the number of our followers surpassed 2 million,” J-Hope said. “Time flies.”

“I figured out that it (would) take six months to have another 1 million followers,” Suga said.

“Then why don’t you treat us to dinner?” J-Hope said. In Korean, the phrases “figuring out a number” and “treating” sound almost the same.

The group’s seven members then began to come up with ideas for fan events and expressed their gratitude to their fan club called Army.

Infinite

Boy band infinite’s member Hoya gave a live broadcast while enjoying fast food in his office Thursday.

The beginning of the broadcast showed Hoya having a burger, fries and a milkshake against a backdrop of trophies on a shelf.

Sungyeol joined the show in the middle of the broadcast, showing off a T-shirt he received from Sungjong as a birthday gift. Hoya said that he had received some oriental medicine on his birthday.

Sungyeol revealed that he had quit drinking alcohol and started to work out.

Later, Sungjong appeared in the broadcast after his makeup was done. All three of the group’s members asked fans to support their “M! Countdown” performance, slated to take place later in the day.

GOT7

The first video showed all of the group’s seven members posing, surrounded by burnt cars.

The second clip showed some dance moves by GOT7 against a backdrop of a burnt plane cabin at first. It later featured Junior locked in a cell filled with water.
