Joon Park of g.o.d, Eunhyuk of Super Junior, rapper Din Din, JR of NU’EST W and Sandara Park, the main cast of the second season of the JTBC reality show “Borrow Trouble,” chatted with fans in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Monday.

In the JTBC show, the celebrities travel overseas while living off the money they make on the streets. In the first season, the cast traveled to Belgium. In the upcoming second season, they will travel to Switzerland.

During the live broadcast held in Switzerland on Monday, Joon Park commented that the filming of the show was almost done.

“It’s our last day in Switzerland already. We finished filming safely. We’ve been ‘borrowing trouble’ literally for the five days,” he said.

“We didn’t really ‘borrow trouble’ actually,” Eunhyuk said. “I was worried a lot but it was rather OK as I actually came here. Even breathing the air here is healing.”

Sandara Park agreed, “I didn’t trust the production team before we left to come here. It is half difficulty, half healing. I guess I will miss everyone when I’m back in Korea.”

“It indeed was a ‘Paradise,’” Joon Park said, referring to the subtitle of the second season.

JR expressed his gratitude toward his co-hosts saying, “I was worried a lot at first but hyeongs and nunas cared a lot about me.”

Korean men use “hyeong” and “nuna” to address older male and female friends respectively in a friendly way.

The first episode of the JTBC show is scheduled to premiere in June.

Lizzy, formerly of girl group After School, actresses Jang Hee-jin, Jeon Hye-bin, Son Soo-hyun and Lee Soo-min and announcer Kim Nam-hee talked about the simple pleasures in life in the latest episode of the FashionN beauty show “Follow Me 9” aired via Naver’s V app Tuesday.

The episode was themed on “So-hwak-haeng,” a phrase that has become trendy in Korea recently, meaning small but certain happiness.

Lizzy said she feels happy drinking a glass of wine before she goes to sleep. Jang mentioned having fried chicken and beer by the Han River.

“I set my alarm to 30 minutes before I actually should wake up,” Jeon said. “While sleeping again for those 30 minutes, I dreamed many interesting dreams.”

Jisook
Singer Jisook of now disbanded girl group Rainbow released the music video for her new track “Umbrella” via Naver’s V app Monday.

The singer’s first digital EP consists of three songs including “A Picture Diary (prequel),” “Umbrella” and “Edelweiss” (literal translations).

The lead track “Umbrella” features the loneliness after a breakup.

“There are only black clouds around me at the moment/They are rain clouds that fall only on me/The rain falls/you fall/Worried if the words you told me will get dried up/I’m intentionally getting in the rain/I don’t have an umbrella,” the lyrics read.

The singer debuted in 2009 as a member of girl group Rainbow. She moved to her current agency after the group disbanded in 2016.

In August last year, she made a fresh start as a solo singer, releasing “Baesisi” in collaboration with Jung Il-hoon of boy band BTOB.
