Rap Monster of BTS

(Naver V app)

Rap Monster of BTS shared a special memory via Naver V app on Sunday.

In a new video, a viewer asked him, “When do you feel a sense of accomplishment?”

Rap Monster answered the question by talking about an episode at a stationery store, in front of his elementary school.

He used to visit the store often as a young boy. When he went there after debuting as BTS, he was surprised to see a large picture of his fellow bandmate, J-Hope, posted on the wall.

“When I asked the owner about it, she answered that BTS is really popular,” Rap Monster said.

Rap Monster realized at the moment that the group’s hard work had paid off.

He also wanted to apologize to the fans who saw him at the store. He ran away when the fans recognized him, feeling embarrassed.

BTS is currently in Las Vegas attending the 2017 Billboard Music Awards.

EXO

(Naver V app)

Suho’s birthday celebration clip from 2016 was updated with the title “EXO from a year ago” through Naver V app video on Sunday.

Sehun and Chanyeol visited Suho’s house secretly for a surprise birthday party.

Suho, however, was tipped off beforehand about the visit. He tried to act as if he was surprised to not let the members down, but failed to do so.

He made the two members laugh by saying that his birthday wish was “not only that I should succeed, but that others should fail.”

At the end of the clip, the members thanked their fans nicknamed EXO-L for their love and support.

EXO has been holding concerts as part of its third global tour “EXO Planet #3 - The EXO’rdium.” The final installment of the tour will be held at Jamsil Olympic Main Stadium in Seoul from May 27-28.

Pentagon

(Naver V app)

Pentagon played some games while they were heading to a showcase, a Naver V app video released Sunday shows.

In the clip, the members were in a bus, on their way to the Japanese edition of KCON 2017 held in Osaka, Japan. KCON is a global Korean pop music and culture convention.

Hui suggested the members kill time by arm wrestling one another. He challenged Yan-an.

Most of the members betted on Yan-an to win, while only two had faith in Hui. Contrary to the expectation, Hui quickly defeated his fellow bandmate.

Then, the members played a game of “wearing a poker face.” They challenged each other, testing their will to control their laugh, no matter what. “The loser should drink a whole bottle of coke,” Hui said.

Yeo-won was the loser since he laughed while complaining, “It’s my coke.” He accepted the penalty, saying “As it is my coke, I might as well as be the one to drink it.”

Pentagon dropped its third EP “Beautiful” on Thursday, with a lead track also titled “Beautiful.”
