GOT7
Rookie boy band GOT7 counted down to midnight Monday when its full-length album “Flight log: Turbulence” was released.

Jinyoung picked “Who’s That,” while JB chose “HEY” and Mark said his favorite was “Dream of you.” Jackson selected “Mayday” and the remaining members -- Yugyeom, Bambam and Youngjae -- all picked “Prove It.”

“We’ve been waiting for this release for a very long time,” they said.

The group also thanked fans in every language they could speak, from Thai to French.

More than 160,000 people simultaneously watched the 20-minute long live broadcast. The recorded clip garnered 5 million “hearts” on the V app overnight.

The music video for GOT7’s lead song “Hard Carry” can be viewed on the V app, Naver TV cast and YouTube.

Seven-member group Monsta X introduced a children’s song Monday on the V app.

Titled “Safari in Monbebe world,” the video showed the members dressed in animal onesies -- wolf, turtle, rabbit, dog, hamster, bear and bumblebee -- singing a children’s song.

Fans enthusiastically responded to the clip.

One fan with username luv-joey said he watched the video so many times that he lost count. Another called minhee-ssi said she wanted to download and keep the clip forever.

Infinite

K-pop group Infinite shared a candid video taken with a mobile phone at the site of its music video recording.
The clip, which had no special effects, showed the group’s members dressed in black dancing in sync to the song “The Eye.”
Infinite debuted in 2010 and released its latest album “Infinite Only” on Sept 19.
