BTOB’s Minhyuk

Lee Min-hyuk, or Minhyuk, of BTOB aired an unexpected V show on Thursday in a white bathing gown from a hotel room in Japan.

“I wanted to share more time with Melody (BTOB’s fan club), so I asked the agency if I can air a surprise show even when I’m abroad,” Minhyuk said.

“From now on, expect more unannounced shows from us,” the star teased.

Minhyuk gave the fans a virtual tour of his spacious room, which he said he uses alone.

College students complained about the ongoing final exam period to Minhyuk, who gave supportive messages.

The 26-year-old shared his personal stories from high school. “From second year in high school I really could not concentrate at all on exams.”

“I always crammed just before the exam day. But you know how when you sit down to study, all these things that you normally ignore start grabbing your attention? The graduation albums, the non-study related books?” Minhyuk said.

“You must be going through a lot preparing for the tests. I hope you get through it well,” he said.

Fans asked Minhyuk to read Europe backwards. Europe in Korean is pronounced “yoo-rub,” and when read backwards it sounds similar to love-you.

He also spoke in simple Japanese and Chinese to global fans. Minhyuk wrapped up the show by getting ready for bed.



B1A4’s Gongchan

Gongchan of B1A4 aired a surprise V show on Wednesday night, where he bid his fans good night from inside a moving van.

“Lets call it a day together, all of us,” said the youngest member of B1A4. The rest of the members stayed out of the camera frame.

“They’re all inside the van with me but staying quiet to not disturb my broadcast,” Gongchan said.

The group was returning to their agency after wrapping up guest participation on two radio programs.

Gongchan said that out of all the activities he does he likes radio the best. “I like reading the stories the listeners send us.”

Gongchan read out the names of the fans who were leaving real time comments and bid them good night.

“You may have had a tough day. But even when you toil, know that the day will come when the things you dream of will come true. Positive thinking and hope will give you strength,” Gongchan cheered on the fans.

The next B1A4 member to air a “Good Night Broadcast,” Thursday night, is Sandeul.
