(Naver V app)

Jihyo and Sana of girl group Twice communicated with fans in a live broadcast held in Fukuoka, Japan, via Naver’s V app Monday.

Starting up the broadcast, Jihyo said that she wanted to communicate with fans before the group’s showcase event began.

In the broadcast, Sana, who had reportedly been taken to a hospital for enteritis while shooting an episode for MBC’s variety show “Idol Star Athletics Championships,” said that she is OK now.

When asked where the other bandmates were, Sana said “They are preparing to meet Once,” referring to Twice’s fan club.

As their bandmate Nayeon entered the waiting room, Sana said, “Nayeon, who said she would work on her abdominal muscles, just took some snacks. I guess it will take some time for her to work on her abs.”

Twice is currently on its “Twice Showcase Live Tour 2018 -- Candy Pop,” which kicked off at Aichi Arts Center in Nagoya on Friday. The tour will visit a total of six cities in Japan. Fukuoka is the second leg of the tour.

Naver’s real-time broadcasting app V allows fans to interact with their favorite K-pop stars through live broadcasts. The app is available for Android and iOS. For more information, visit http://www.vlive.tv.
