K-pop boy band Super Junior communicated with its fans in a live broadcast held via Naver’s V app Tuesday.

In the broadcast, the group introduced the second season of its web variety show “Super TV.”

“As we are nicknamed as ‘the king of variety shows,’ we are going to show you the ‘Game of Thrones’ in upcoming Super TV Season 2,” Leeteuk said referring to the popular American television fantasy drama series.

“I am going to compete with other idols who I want, every week,” Kim Hee-chul said.

Choi Si-won, who was edited out in the first season of the show after a controversy regarding his family dog, will join the second season.

“I really enjoyed watching the first season so I’m so glad to join the second season,” Choi said. “I will try my best so that our ‘Super TV’ can become something really awesome and which gives fans much joy.”

Choi came under fire when a local restaurateur died of sepsis in October last year after being attacked by Choi’s family dog who was unleashed at the time. The singer sat out from all the promotional activities for the group’s eighth studio album “Play” which was released in November.

“It’s amazing that it’s been 300 days already. I was touched as many fans congratulated ame and supported me,” he said.

Cast of ‘About Time’

(Naver V app)

Actors Lee Sang-yoon, Lee Sung-kyung, Han Seung-yeon and Kim Dong-jun, the main cast of tvN’s new drama “About Time” communicated with fans in a live broadcast held via NAver’s V app Tuesday.

During the broadcast, Kim, who belatedly joined the cast to replace actor Lee Seo-won who was removed from the show amid sexual harassment, revealed his thoughts on joining the show.

“It indeed is difficult to be frank,” Kim said. “It’s quite hectic as I joined late, as the co-workers cared about me so well, I am working hard on filming.”

“We will take care of your Mondays and Tuesdays so please support us!” he added.

Kim’s co-actors Lee Sang-yoon and Lee Sung-kyung praised Kim’s quick adaptation saying that Kim had to jump into the filming as soon as he was cast on the drama.

They said though he started filming in just 12 hours after he got the script, he went straight to dye his hair in the early morning to prepare for the role. They also added that they spotted Kim trying to memorize his lines alone at a corner that day.

Lee Seo-won, who had been cast in a supporting role as a talented musical producer, has been pulled from the series following reports that he was charged with sexual harassment in April. His case has been sent to the prosecution.

Lee is alleged to have attempted to make physical contact with the celebrity victim. He also purportedly threatened her with a weapon. His agency Blossom Entertainment issued an apology after looking into the matter.

The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 9:30 p.m.
