Winner

(Naver V app)

Winner’s Lee Seung-hoon made grapefruit marmalade live on Naver’s V app, Thursday.

Lee’s broadcast was a slow one -- over an hour of peeling and cutting. Lee hummed and played classic music in the background to pass the time.

“It won’t take long, everyone, please be patient. I‘ll be done in no time and I’ll tell you funny stories,” the singer said.

“It‘s suddenly become so cold recently. Always remember to dress warmly for outside. Don’t catch a cold,” Lee lectured, muttering that the grapefruit he was holding was very cold.

”It’s my first time to make my own grapefruit marmalade. Please understand if I’m a little slow. Give me some tips on how to best peel these!” he said, growing slightly exasperated at his own slow pace.

Fans offered the K-pop star directions on how to cut the grapefruit.

“I got it, give me just 10 minutes,” he confidently announced.

Viewers can find out whether Lee succeeded or not in the latest episode on Winner’s V app channel.


Kriesha Chu

(Naver V app)

Kriesha Chu aired a live broadcast Thursday alongside K-pop star friend Jeon Minju, with whom she is set to release a new album.

“We just finished filming the music video today,” said Chu. “For four days we shot Polaroid photos and filmed music video.”

“We’re on an island, and it’s so cold here,” added Jeon. Japan’s Dejima Island was one of the locations where the two starlets filmed. “We spent the last four days severed from the internet. So we have no idea ... is Korea cold, too?” asked Jeon.

“What? We might see the first snow upon returning to Korea? I want to stay in Japan,” she said with a sigh.

Chu and Jeon went through each of their Polaroid photos and explained to fans where the shots were taken and what the circumstances had been for each location.

The two took the camera outside their room and showed fans the house they were staying in. Fans alos requested the singers pose for screenshots.

Before waving goodbye, the two wished fast recoveries for earthquake-rattled areas of Korea.


Apink

(Naver V app)

Apink shared a behind-the-scenes view of its recently concluded 2017 Asia Tour through the V app Thursday.

The group wrapped up the tour on Nov. 4, blazing through Hong Kong, Taiwan and Bangkok. The V video encapsulated rehearsals and highlights of the performances Apink threw in the final destination of Thailand.

“We only went to three countries. Fans from other nations requested us to come to their capitals, too, and I felt sorry that we couldn’t,” Naeun said. “I hope we can visit more countries to meet with all of our fans.”

Eunji, while getting her hair fixed in the green room, imitated the voices of the characters in Japanese cartoon series “Bonobono” for fans.

Hayoung said she personally went to a bookstore and bought a book, which although she very much enjoyed reading, she couldn’t remember the title of. “I focused too much on the contents, I can’t remember what the book was called,” said Hayoung, a bit flabbergasted.

The group expressed gratitude to the fans who watched over them with love and caring heart.
