Septet Monsta X aired a video Tuesday to thank their fans who raked up a 20 million “hearts” for the group’s live V broadcast the previous day.

“Our fans, our Mon Bebes, have been clicking the heart icon for so long to give us the happy surprise. We are so thankful,” said the boys, collectively expressing gratitude.

Reportedly, even before the show began, the slotted program had attracted over 5 million hearts.

Monsta X‘s fourth mini-album “The Clan Part.2 Guilty,” on the day of release on Tuesday, topped the iTunes K-pop album charts in the US and Japan.

Sextet Block B celebrated the 2,000th day since its debut on Tuesday.

The group also congratulated member Park Kyung, who won membership of Mensa International, a society for highly intelligent people.

Park Kyung, called upon to make a comment, said “We went through a lot of hardships during the last 2,000 days. But we were able to overcome the obstacles because we had our Bees (fan club) by our side.”

Block B has something prepared for the fans, which the members hinted can be found on the fan club website.


Apink
Sextet Apink’s member Eunji aced the world’s highest in-city bungee jump, and a video of her feat aired on V on Tuesday.

In the series entitled “Extreme Adventure” on V, each member of Apink is going through a thrilling excursion that will make their hair stand on end.

Macau Tower holds the Guinness World Record for the highest commercial bungee jump at 233 meters, which is the equivalent of a 77-story building.

Eunji, scared but resolute that she will complete the quest without going through the “scared girl” phase, said “I want to jump with gusto.”

As she neared the Macau Tower, the 10th tallest tower in the world, the 23-year-old went from excited to scared to taking the obligatory snaps of the building.

She sauntered through the waiting area until she finally wore the safety gear and was brought to the edge of the jumping deck.
The video closely follows Eunji and allows a vicarious thrill as she performs the jump.

Eunji definitely nailed the jump, surprisingly enjoying the vertigo and laughing, even, during the fall.

Next up in the series is Naeun who will skydive in Guam. The pre-recorded video will air on V on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

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 www.vlive.tv.
