BTS

BTS on Tuesday aired an entertainment program titled “BTS Gayo” on V app.

In the clip, it turned out the versatile group apparently had no talent for drawing.

The title of the program is a twist on TV music program “Inkigayo,” where K-pop groups and singers perform live and battle to be top-ranked.

BTS’ show was more about gaining knowledge of K-pop hit songs with the group.

In this particular segment, the seven-member band divided into two groups of three, with the remaining serving as the judge.

Following a flurry of rock-paper-scissors game, Jungkook became the “Answer Man,” or judge.

Each team was to take turns describing a chosen K-pop song through drawings. The group drawing well enough for Jungkook to link it to the right song earned the winning points.

Rap Monster, Jimin and J-Hope formed one team, with Jin, Suga and V making the other.

BTS tried to express their own song “Blood, Sweat and Tears,” rapper Leessang’s “Turned off the TV,” Bolbbalgan4‘s “Galaxy” and more.

BTS struggled, though, laughing at their rudimentary drawing skills.

The show had raked in more than 10 million hearts as of 4 p.m. Wednesday.


Twice

Twice on Tuesday shared behind-the-scene footage of the group’s album jacket shoot.

Following the release of “TWICEcoaster: LANE 2” on Monday, Twice put out the makings of the album jacket image via the V app Tuesday.

The images of the band posing together on a bed in one shot and peeking through a door crack in another were enhanced with the lively atmosphere of their pillow fights and jokes.

The theme for the photo shoot was the “cute escape” that "many girls dream of." The Twice bandmates, dressed in pajamas, wanted to stay up after midnight and hang out.

JiHyo, asked about her own concept for the shoot, first replied, “It’s a secret,” with a playful smile, but quickly confessed, “Sleeping Beauty.”

Tzuyu shared her energy by exclaiming “Let’s go!” to the camera.

Red Velvet on Tuesday shared the makings of the music video for its latest song, “Rookie.”

The group dubbed it “Mu-Beyond,” meaning the clip shows what‘s beyond the edited music video. In the candid clip, Yeri talked about her shortened bangs.

The Red Velvet bandmates took selfies and complained about having too many of each other’s photos in their mobile phones. Bloopers of the dancing that goes on in the music video were also shown in the clip.

The song “Rookie” released on Feb. 1 and has enjoyed success both domestically and globally, topping charts and sweeping the top spots on music programs “M! Countdown,” “Music Bank” and “Inkigayo” on Feb. 18 and 19.
