GOT7

K-pop boy band GOT7 popped up in Wednesday’s lineup of the V app.

“We wanted to tell you guys to spare some time for us tomorrow at lunch,” Yugyeom said. “It’s a secret where we are going, but we will visit you.”

As he finished, his bandmates began to tell the audience that the secret meeting place is Sangam-dong, in northwest Seoul, between coughs.

The seven-part group said they were shooting a reality show there for their album, “Hard Carry,” and said they want to meet fans there and also via a V app live broadcast.


KNK


Boy band KNK competed to do braid the hair of Barbie dolls Wednesday on V app’s live broadcast. Insung turned out to be the best.

“You have to divide the hair in three and put each stem of hair on top of the other,” Insung explained to fans. “I learned to do this from doing my sister’s hair.”

He taught his bandmates step by step, as the others.

“I have three brothers so I had no chance to see a girl in my family,” Yoojin said.

Seungjoon asked for tips from fans. He even broke a comb while brushing the doll’s hair. He continued to scramble through the task as his bandmates boasted of their skill.

“I have tried to make my doll look like a goddess,” Heejun said, showing satisfaction in his work.

Jihoon, who had the same hair color as his doll, gave up on braids and did a ponytail instead.

“My customer didn’t want the braids, so I tied it up,” he said.


ToppDogg


Rookie boy band ToppDogg popped up in a karaoke room and sang some fast-melody songs Wednesday. Broadcasting their day in a V app live show, the band showed their talent by singing songs made famous by girl groups.

Divided into three groups of three, the team played a karaoke bingo game against each other. Each group had to complete missions, such as achieving a score higher than 95 from the karaoke machine to fill in the bingo board.

Nakta’s group gained scores over 90 singing Twice’s “TT” and Black Pink’s “Playing with Fire.” In some parts where they did not know the lyrics, they danced and cheered to obtain extra points.

Atom’s team struggled to make it through I.O.I’s “Very Very Very,” with its high notes.

“It is just too high for us to sing,” Atom said. They also apologized jokingly to viewers, saying they are not so familiar with some idol songs because they are old.

ToppDogg broadcasts a V app live show every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Last week, they made kimchi on the show.
