EXID

(Naver V app)

Four from quintet EXID bid their V fans a Happy Lunar New Year in a broadcast Thursday.

Solji has been on hiatus since December due to health reasons. EXID went without Solji to play the annual Lunar New Year sports entertainment program, "Idol Star Athletics Championships."

On V app LE, Hani, Hyelin and Junghwa aired four separate videos in which each performed songs and dances wearing hanbok, the Korean traditional costume.

LE danced to a folk song with tambourines in both hands. Hani sang a well-known super-speed Korean rap. Hyelin clacked castanets to her trot performance.

Junghwa showed off girl group Twice's "Cheer Up" and "TT" routines.


Suzy

(Naver V app)

MissA's Suzy, having recently debuted as a soloist, released a practice video of her dance routine for "Yes No Maybe," the lead song from her new solo album, Thursday.

Suzy stood out in pale pink top next to her supporting dancers in black.

She started out bound in red rope, then quickly slinked out of her bindings and danced to the lyric-less score.

The digital tracks of Suzy's album "Yes? No?" released Tuesday.


AOA

(Naver V app)

AOA was picked as the week's highlight by the channel V Pick! on Thursday. The women sat together on a long couch and read off their cellphones requests from fans.

Leader Jimin was asked to come up with an acrostic poem using "V app." For the Korean pronunciation of V app -- voo-yee-app -- Jimin gave a combination of words "V app," "Teeth" and "appee,” which is a sound meant to scare small children, which did not make any sense but had viewers smiling.

Seolhyun was asked to form a heart with her hand and complied.

A devoted female fan asked Jimin if she would date her, which the other members of AOA shut down, drawing a line and saying that Jimin is theirs.

Fans also requested AOA extend the group’s upcoming concert to last from 6 p.m. to late at night, past the last train hour.

AOA is holding a standalone concert on March 11 at Olympic Stadium in Seoul for its first full-length album, "Angel's Knock."
