A Naver V app broadcast Saturday showed behind-the-scenes footage of Kim Jae-joong of JYJ at the “Manhole: Phil in Wonderland” drama set.

In the video, Kim introduced his role in the series, saying, “I am playing a jobless man Bong-phil, who retook the college entrance exam three times and spent three years doing nothing, before preparing for a civil service examination for the past three years. Bong-phil is a born-to-be jobless man.”

He then explained that the drama unfolds as Bong-phil, who is devastated by the news of his longtime crush’s marriage, embarks on time travel through a manhole.

“My co-actors and I have high expectations for this drama,” Kim said.

The footage also featured Kim and his co-actress Uee smiling at each other during a shoot. While taking a break, Kim was seen doing chin-ups.

When a staff member told Kim to do more chin-ups, Kim said, “It’s been seven months since I was discharged from the army. That’s enough time to lose my muscles.”

Apink members showed their honest and cheerful personalities on the Naver V app Saturday.

The broadcast featured the day when they wrapped up their last performance of “Five” on SBS’ “Inkigayo.”

While waiting in a greenroom, Bomi entertained viewers by introducing each band member in her own witty way.

Pointing to each members in a poster of the group, Bomi said, “Let’s talk about Ha-young. She is a very funny person, like a comedian. Just seeing her face brings me laughter. Eunji has a very big mouth.”

“Well, if you see her in person, her mouth will be bigger than you thought. We all know that Naeun has a good-looking appearance. She gained a lot of recognition after appearing in Psy’s music video.”
Hayoung added, “Namjoo may look very young at first, but she is actually 26-years-old. If you see her in person, you’ll see why she is the group leader. Chorong gets very sensitive when she gets hungry, but she also gets happy very easily when we give her food.”

Introducing herself in the end, Bomi jokingly said, “This member has all kinds of attractive traits. Once you find those attractive traits, it will be hard to escape from them.”

The video also showed Eunji, who had bangs while onstage, appearing without the bangs in the greenroom after the performance.

“To tell you the truth, I had bangs all because of our fans, who wanted me to have bangs so badly. Bangs are difficult to take care of.”

Namjoo burst into tears after the performance, expressing how happy and thankful she was for fans’ support.

JB and Jinyoung of JJ Project took to the Naver V app to briefly greet fans.

In a moving van, JB said, “Thinking about our past broadcasts, I think we should talk more and come up with better chat-up lines.” He then asked Jinyoung, “What are your thoughts about our past broadcasts?"

Jinyoung said he wants to show his true self rather than appearing unnatural in broadcasts.

He also added that during broadcasts that he does right before going to bed at night, he sometimes has to keep himself from falling asleep.

The two wrapped up by saying, “We don’t know if saying ‘Thank you’ repeatedly will work, but we’d like to say that we want you (fans) to feel proud of us by returning with better albums.”
