Super Junior

The members of Super Junior examined one another’s social media posts as part of a V series titled “SJ Returns -- Super Junior Real Comeback Story” on Wednesday.

During a meeting, they discussed ways to revamp their reputation. The first idea brought up was the “sensible use of social media.” Each member’s social media account was accordingly examined one after another.

The first person to have his Instagram account probed was Leeteuk. A topless photo was spotted, which prompted ridicule from the others. Shindong poked fun at him by saying, “Honestly why are you exposing your armpit? You can’t get away with this.”

After giving Leeteuk a red card, the examination moved on to Yesung’s account.

A selfie of Yesung in a cute pose, decorated with tacky emojis, was highlighted as problematic. Without batting an eye, Yesung said, “What’s wrong? It looks cute.”

Shindong, who made fun of other bandmates' selfies, also faced harsh criticism for posting pretentious selfies with cute emojis.

In the end, the bandmates agreed that there is no point in “self-censorship,” concluding those problematic selfies were actually OK.

Footage of a concert performance featuring Taemin’s “Move,” the title track of his latest solo album, was revealed via Naver’s V app Wednesday.

The clip, which was aired for the first time on Naver TV and the V app, was met with a fervent reaction from fans. The clip is from Taemin’s concert last weekend, titled “Off-sick ” and held at Jamsil Gymnasium.

The clip open with a wide angle shot of the arena, which was lit by green lights from glow sticks held by the audience.
Following a loud cheer from the crowd, the stage lit up and “Move” was played in the background. Female dancers appeared on stage one by one, and finally Taemin rose up from below the stage.

Taemin and the dancers slowly carried out dance moves to the sultry R&B tune of “Move.” Their movements were not pronounced, but the subtle yet poignant dance moves were enough to keep the audience engaged.

The performance came to a close with a pose, which made the crowd cheer louder than ever.

K-pop group GFriend took to Naver’s V app Wednesday to check in with fans.

GFriend members aired the V broadcast from their car while on their way to Naju for a stage appearance. Sowon, who was the first person to hold the camera, said hello to viewers and presented her “look of the day.”

All the bandmates were wearing chic black dress. “Guess what this is, the costume for our upcoming stage today!” said Sowon. Instead of revealing further details about their upcoming performance, she said, “Find out more at the actual performance today.”

Yuju, who was the second person to hold the camera, talked about a reality show starring the band, which has recently gone on air. She asked if viewers had enjoyed the show.
