Twice greeted fans for the Lunar New Year in a video released via Naver’s V app just as the clock struck midnight.

“We wish you a very happy New Year. You can even have us nine’s share of happiness,” Nayeon said.

“Let’s have a lot of good food and become chubby when we meet again, Once,” Jihyo said, referring to the name of Twice’s fan club.

“I’m curious whether Once had tteokguk (rice cake soup),” Jungyeon said. Tteokguk is a Korean dish traditionally eaten at the start of the new year.

“I won’t have rice cake soup not to grow a year older,” Jihyo said. Korean people traditionally believe eating the soup, known as tteokguk on New Year’s Day makes you a year older.

“I will have two bowls,” Sana said. “Then will you become two years older? Would that make you older than me?” Jihyo asked, teasing.

“In 2018, for Once, we will try our best to reach out to you,” Jeongyeon said.

Twice wrapped up the video shouting out in unison: “Happy New Year!”

Soyou of now disbanded girl group Sistar took to the V app Thursday to release a New Year’s greeting video.

“It’s New Year’s day of 2018!” Soyou said opening the video. “I hope you to spend a happy and warm time with your family.”

“I hope you all have a lot of good food, have a lot of tteokguk, and to do a lot of fun things to make good memories!” she said.

After the disbandment of her group Sistar, Soyou released her first solo album “Re:Born” in December.

In a recent V app broadcast, the singer hinted at her upcoming “Part. 2” album, which will come out “no later than the middle of this year.”

Singer Jeong Se-woon took to the V app Thursday to release a New Year’s greeting.

“New Year’s Day 2018 has finally come!” the singer said, welcoming viewers to the video.

“I hope everyone spends the nation’s biggest holiday happy,” he said. “In 2018, I wish you to be healthy and to have only happy things.”

Jeong recently released the second part of his first EP “After” with the lead track “Baby It’s U.”

Signed under Starship Entertainment, Jeong appeared on the second season of Mnet K-pop competition “Produce 101.” He finished the show at No. 12, just failing to secure a spot in the final 11-member group.

Jeong debuted as a solo artist in August with his first EP, “Ever.” In November, the singer won the Rising Star Award at the Asia Artist Awards.
