BTS

(Naver V app)

BTS on Monday shared via V an episode of their online entertainment show, typically only available on pay basis.

The group split into two teams to play some old-fashioned games.

The first game they played was the iron bag game, involving the iconic delivery container found at Chinese restaurants in Korea.

The game‘s moderator is to place a mystery item inside the container and briefly let contestants glimpse what is inside by quickly opening and shutting the lid. The first team to guess two of the three items wins.

Suga moderated the game.

The first round saw V facing off against J-hope, who had a tough time discerning a flat green loofah.

The second round was between Jungkook and Jimin. Jungkook saw the insole straight away to claim the point.

The third round between RM and Jin was a mess of confusion, as the two clearly saw the container’s contents but couldn‘t understand what the black jumbled blob was. RM guessed the answer correctly after Suga failed to shut the lid quickly enough -- a crumpled black mask often worn by K-pop stars in public.

BTS continued to the next game, kungkungtta, a fast-paced word chain game where with three-syllable words.

After that was gamul gamul game, which starts by playing a not-so-well-known nursery rhyme and making the players sleep for 15 minutes before they are called on to perfectly repeat the song from memory.

Each BTS singer took a turn seriously singing the “Cool Tomato.”

BTS’ 30 minutes of games garnered 86 million hearts.


Twice

(Naver V app)

Twice’s Momo and Chaeyoung continued their “Mo-Chaeng TV” series on the V app, with the sixth episode Tuesday.

The video was apparently shot on Sep. 28, when Twice was returning to Korea from Singapore.

“Once, Hello! We are now going to Korea,” said Momo, address the group’s fan club, from Singapore Changi Airport, holding up a colorful teddy bear she got as a souvenir.

“This is Japanese medicine for my grandma and grandpa,” said Chaeyoung, also pulling out souvenirs from the country.

“I wanted to get these from Japan, but my grandparents wanted them as soon as possible, so I bought these Japanese medicines from Singapore,” Chaeyoung said, showing off the tiger balm and joint medicine.

The video continued on the plane. The guests for this episode of “Mochaeng TV” were Tzuyu and other singers of Twice.

Tzuyu was shown focusing intently on her on-flight meal.

Once back in Korea, Chaeyoung started the day early by secretly leaving the shared residence to purchase gift wrapping paper from a stationery store.

“I got a Barbie for Momo‘s birthday, do you think she will like it?” Chaeyoung asked as she finished wrapping the gift.

When Chaeyoung gave the gift, Momo was taken by surprise and shed a few tears at the heartfelt gift.

“I know you like Barbie dolls, and I saw this online and it was so pretty I was immediately reminded of you,” said Chaeyoung, who was soon buried under an avalanche of thanks from Momo.

The 15-minute video garnered nearly 5 million hearts within 13 hours.
