Jihyo of girl group Twice communicated with her fans in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Friday.

In the broadcast, the singer thanked the group’s fan club Once for its constant support.

She said she has been feeling really grateful for her fans’ love and support recently.

“I’ve been thinking this a lot while promoting this album -- I even posted it on our social media account, on Instagram,” she said.

Earlier in the day, she wrote on the group’s Instagram account, “Thank you so much Once. It’s not enough even if I thank you a hundred or thousand times. Thank you for always being with us. Let’s keep spending happy days standing by each other. Thank you.”

“It’s not something we can take for granted but if I don’t stay alert, I might become full of myself and I might think that I always deserve to be loved,” she said. “It doesn’t mean that I thought that way but while promoting this album, I’ve felt especially grateful and blessed.”

“So I wanted to tell you today that I’m always grateful (for your support),” she said.

Twice recently released its fifth EP “What is Love?”

NU’EST W

The V channel called “V Pick!” on Saturday introduced a clip of highlights from NU’EST W’s recent live broadcast, in which Baekho unintentionally kept revealing spoilers about the group’s recent activities.

In the broadcast, the four bandmates of NU’EST W talked about a picnic.

Then Baekho said, “We also went on a picnic, to our practice room.”

When Baekho said that, JR’s face stiffened. “Well, I guess (the fans) have yet to watch that (on the TV show),” JR said.

JR comforted Baekho by saying, “It’s OK,” but Baekho soon accidentally spoiled another update.

While talking about the menu for the group’s live show “NU’BLE’s Midnight Dinner” (literal translation), Baekho said, “Jonghyun (JR’s real name) has been working out recently.”

JR, who had kept it a secret hoping to surprise fans after getting fitter, grabbed Baekho by the sleeve.

“I just wanted to talk about the menu. As you are working out recently, I was going to suggest we eat something full of protein,” Baekho said disappointedly.

TRCNG

(Naver V app)

K-pop boy band TRCNG celebrated the 200th day since its debut in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Friday.

In the broadcast, the boy band expressed its thoughts on celebrating the milestone.

“I think we, TRCNG, have worked hard during the 200 days,” Taeseon said. “It feels as if it’s not been so long since we celebrated our 100th day with cake and it seems that time does fly.”

“Let’s celebrate more anniversaries in the future!” he said.

“I also can’t (believe) that it’s already our 200th day when I don’t feel it was that long ago when we made the cake to celebrate our 100th day,” Kangmin said.

“We should keep on working until our 10th-year anniversary and 20th-year anniversary!” he said. “Why not 100th year?” Hohyeon added.

TRCNG, an acronym for “Teen Rising Champion in a New Generation,” debuted in October last year with the EP “New Generation.” In January, it released the single “Who Am I,” fronted by the lead track “Wolf Boy.”
