Kicking off Naver V app’s mid-week Wednesday line-up were the members of Sistar, posting a live V app video for the first time in a long time.

“It’s been so long since we last appeared on the V app,” said the members as they started off the episode.

“I think a lot of our fans are probably wondering what we have been up to this whole time … in March we have a number of concerts overseas so we have been preparing a lot for that.”

During the short 10-minute clip, the ladies went on to explain all the individual activities that have been keeping the group and its members so busy.

Sistar leader and main vocalist Hyolyn is gearing up to perform her first-ever solo showcases in the US, in New York and Los Angeles next month.

Also joining yesterday’s V app line-up were the singers of BTS, who gathered together to celebrate member Jin’s graduation from Konkuk University. His fellow members surprised him with cake and flowers to honor his scholastic achievements.

Along with Jin’s graduation ceremony, the group’s good fortunes continued to pile on as it was also announced yesterday that BTS was listed on the US Billboard’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100” chart. The group’s new single “Spring Day,” the title track of the group’s new album “Wings: You Never Walk Alone,” made its debut at the No. 15 spot, according to Billboard.

The Bubbling Under Hot 100 is a list of 25 songs that rank just below the definitive Hot 100 singles chart.

Soloist NC.A broadcast her latest episode, sharing her top five “songs that you can listen to for a long time without getting tired of them.”

One of the tracls that made it onto NC.A’s list was Ariana Grande’s “Honeymoon Avenue,” which she referred to as one of her all-time favorite Grande song.

JYJ star Kim Jae-joong made his V app return, broadcasting live from Nagoya, Japan. The K-pop star greeted fans from his waiting room about 50 minutes before his concert, saying that being able to converse with viewers before his show helped him relax.

Naver’s real-time broadcasting app V allows fans to interact with their favorite K-pop stars through live broadcasts. The app is available for Android and iOS. For more information, visit www.vlive.tv.
