GFriend

(Naver V app)

K-pop group GFriend members Sowon and Yerin appeared before V app viewers to prepare dinner for the group’s youngest members, SinB and Umji, on Wednesday.

The live broadcast was designed to cheer on SinB and Umji, who were to take the annual college entrance test, or Suneung, here Thursday.

Sowon and Yerin visited a local supermarket, Kim’s Club, to shop for groceries. They bought herbs, vegetables, seasonings, fruits, as well as utensils such as a large bowl for mixing ingredients.

The pair chose spicy condiments as the group’s young members preferred hot flavors.

After the 40-minute shopping session, they returned to their dormitory to prepare the food.

Sowon did most of the work, while Yerin, Yuju and Eunha helped a little.

After tasting Sowon’s first dish, the other members expressed contentment with its quality.

“Let’s make dinner at home from now on,” Eunha said. “We will not need to eat out anymore.”

“I’m not just flattering Sowon because she is my bandmate. I should say this, ‘This is awesome,’” Yuju said.

“That’s the fun of making food,” Sowon said. “I can grasp what maternal love and maternal satisfaction is like.”

Minutes after all the food had been prepared, SinB and Umji arrived at the house and joined the show to enjoy the meal.

“None of us expected to win a prize at the event,” said Exy, a rapper and leader of the group. “We thought, we were just invited. It is kind of a weird feeling now, but (the prize) motivates us.”

“This is such an honorable achievement, and we feel like we are finally reaping what we sowed” said SeolA. “We appreciate fans for the support.”

They also expressed their gratitude in Chinese to international fans.

At the end of the show, Exy asked fans to show support for Eunseo, who was to take the annual college entrance exam Thursday.

WJSN, also known as Cosmic Girls, won Rising Star Award Wednesday, along with singer Han Dong-geun and music group Boys and Men.

At the end of the show, all of them cheered on students who were to take the college entrance exam Thursday. They also promoted their Friday gig in Japan and promised fans they would host another V app show there.
