Former SNSD member Jessica Jung celebrated her birthday with fans in advance Saturday at Ewha Womans University’s Samsung Hall.

The event was attended by Jessica’s international fans from Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan and other countries.

For those who couldn’t make it, Jessica aired a live V broadcast to say hello.

She played games with fans at the event including one like “Where’s Waldo?” a book series that features illustrations made up of dozens of people in which viewers have to try to find the character Waldo.

She was made to find herself amid a dizzying image of Waldos. Fans could bet on Jessica succeeding or failing.

On her birthday, which falls on Tuesday, Jessica will release a new song titled “Because It’s Spring.”

Twice

Twice is currently traveling in Switzerland.

On Saturday, the band attempted a V live broadcast from the city of Lucerne, but failed due to a poor connection.

Meanwhile, a photo of Twice was put up online by the country’s Tourism Ministry on Thursday. It was accompanied with a caption that Twice was enjoying a relaxing trip in Bern, the capital city.

Twice had reportedly given an impromptu performance on the streets of Switzerland.

A full video of the trip will be broadcast on V in May.

VIXX’s Leo on Saturday finally wrapped up “Monte Cristo” musical performances.

“I couldn’t do this without Starlight’s support,” Leo said, referring to VIXX’s fan club.

“I don’t feel tired, but strange,” Leo said. “‘Monte Cristo’ has ended. … I won’t forget the love you gave. I’ll repay you with more and better music.”

Leo will return as Armand, the main cast for the musical “Mata Hari.”

“Practices for ‘Mata Hari’ begin next week. There has been a change of directors. This ‘Mata Hari’ will be a completely different production,” Leo said.

Leo updated his Instagram account on Sunday with an image of a yellow ribbon in remembrance of the Sewol ferry disaster on April 16, 2014.

On top of Leo’s musical works, VIXX will release a new album in May.
