Jung Il-hoon of boy band BTOB expressed his affection to his fans in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Thursday.

During the broadcast, a fan commented, “I hope to hold a ‘fangirl party’ among Melodies (BTOB’s fan club name).”

“Whenever I hear this kind of thing, I think Melodies are cute and beautiful and I feel huge gratefulness recently,” Jung said with a big smile.

“I work hard because of your love,” he said.

Thursday’s broadcast was full of praise for the singer.

When a fan praised his appearance, he said archly, “I’m tired of this kind of praise.” However, he soon amended his attitude and said sorry.

When a fan praised his rapping voice, he said, “My speaking voice is also (good).”

Among the cascade of compliments toward the singer, one fan praised his “gaps” between his different looks.

“Yes, I’m in a way very cute, in a way very cool and in a way very sexy,” the singer replied.

On Thursday, the BTOB member released his first mini album “Big Wave” which consisted of five songs of which the singer participated in penning and writing.

Woo Do-hwan, Joy of Red Velvet, Moon Ga-young and Kim Min-jae, the main actors of upcoming MBC drama “The Great Seducer,” promoted the drama in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Thursday.

When asked about memorable episode from filming, Kim said, “You know as we are all from a similar age group, when we were filming scenes such as graduation, we wore the school uniforms for a long time. So I think such things were the most memorable.”

“Because we didn’t do it in a natural way,” he added. “You will understand what we are talking about now!”

Based on the French novel “Les Liaisons dangereuses” by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, the drama tells a story of rich young men and women in their twenties who discover true love while playing the dangerous game of love.

Trot singer Hong Jin-young released some behind-the-scenes footage of her recently released “I kicked my luck off” for which she collaborated with TV personality Kang Ho-dong, via Naver’s V app Thursday.

Directed by comedian Yoo Se-yoon, the music video was filmed only by a phone camera.

“What kind of filming is this? While the music video is filmed by this (phone camera), eight main cameras come in during the break,” said comedian Lee Soo-geun, who also appeared on the music video.

The behind-the-scenes video showed how some of the most hilarious scenes from the music video such as Kang being slapped in the face by a foot, were filmed.

The electronic trot track, written and penned by trot singer Hong Jin-young, is about the regret of missing out on opportunities due to being caught up in one’s own world.
