Kicking off the week on Naver V app’s Sunday lineup was the rookie idols of NCT in the group’s sixth episode of its “NCT Life in Chiang Mai” broadcast series.

Tuning in from the northern region of Thailand’s Chiang Mai, the four international stars of NCT -- two Koreans, one American and one Thai -- learned about the culture and customs of their fellow bandmate.

The show kicked off with the group members tuning in from an elephant camp, where they went on an elephant trek.

“I would have regretted it if we didn’t do it,” said Johnny. “Staff, we love you.”

“It was nice to trek with the elephants, but the forest here, it was so beautiful,” said another member. “It really felt like we were exploring the jungle.”

Following the trek, the boys went on a rafting adventure where they played games trying to get to know one another, asking to shout out their favorite food, sports and color.


The YG rookies of Winner also joined yesterday’s V app lineup, broadcasting from inside a van.

“Jin Woo just bought us all beef for dinner,” said Winner leader Kang Seung-yoon. “Even though we ate a bunch, he paid for everything. A man’s who pays is so cool.”

“To be honest, while Min-ho went to the bathroom, the three of us we agreed to make him pay for our meals,” Lee Seung-hoon chimed in.

“We decided we would play rock, paper, scissors and kept signing paper and waited for Min-ho to sign something else. That was the plan. But Jin-woo stupidly did rock while Min-ho actually did paper on his first try,” Lee explained, adding that is why Jin-woo ended up having to pay for everyone’s meal.

Winner has recently returned to the limelight as a four-member act with its latest single, “Fate Number For.” The new single mark’s the boy band’s first return since the departure of Nam Tae-hyun, who decided to leave the group last year citing health issues.


Also joining Sunday’s V app was the ladies of Dreamcatcher, who took viewers along with them to walk along the Han River Park to look at all the Cherry Blossoms.

The members of Dia posted the live footage of the group’s recent press conference held for its new variety show, “YOLO Trip.”
