Rap Monster of BTS

Rap Monster of boy band Bangtan Boys broadcast Thursday via Naver V app in Mexico after finishing a rehearsal for KCON, an annual Hallyu convention.

The singer interacted with fans and read through their comments in real time. “I was working all day. I got some ideas for a new BTS song when I was on the bus, so I will go to bed after sketching out the melody,” he commented

Several fans asked if he was feeling sick. “Do I look sick? I’m staying healthy. I look tired because I just finished a rehearsal,” he answered.

BTS recently embarked on its “Wings Tour,” taking the group across the globe, from Feb 28.

K-pop girl group Dia aired a surprise V app live broadcast in Tokyo, Japan, before filming their first reality show.

“This is the first time for me to visit Japan. I am so happy to come here with my loving Dia members. I will make many memories and have fun,” Heui-yeon said.

Another bandmate shared that she felt like just traveling with the group rather than filming a television program.

The band also discussed their definition of “YOLO,” the popular acronym for “you only live once.” "My ‘YOLO’ means ‘freedom!’" exclaimed Chung Chae-yeon, with her hands up. "Let's live a cool life if we can live only once."

Dia's first reality program, "YOLO Trip," will air on April 9 via On Style.

Soloist Baek Ah-yeon shared some personal stories of being a radio disc jockey via the V app Friday, while sitting in a car. She kicked off the broadcast by turning on her own songs as background music.

“I am never nervous when I go on a broadcast by myself, but today was the exception. I was still nervous after taking a pill to relax,” she said. Baek has a lot of experience as a disc jockey, but Friday was the first time she had to go it alone.

The artist went on to play some pop songs she loves to listen to in the car on her way home with her fans.
