“I’m blocking the camera right now until more people tune in,” Jisoo started off the broadcast, observing, “Blinks are joining us real time.”

“This is our first time winning first place on ‘Music Core’ with our new work,” said Jisoo.

“Yes, it is,” nodded Jennie, quickly correcting, “No, wait, it’s our second win. We got the trophy for our first win today so I got confused.”

“Dalgom, mommy won first place,” Jisoo gave a shout-out to her pet dog, Bandalgom.

“Kuma, Kai, I’m bringing home first place,” Jennie also sent her love to her two puppies.

“We are on our way to meet you guys,” Black Pink wrapped up the video, which was filmed inside its van en route to the fan signing event. “See you soon, Blinks.”

Apink is gearing up for its summer return.

The teaser medley for the new extended play’s six songs was released Saturday on Naver’s V app.

“One & Six” marks Apink’s eighth anniversary and its seventh mini album, an album that lists fewer songs than a regular full-length album, typically ranging from four to six tracks.

“Apink is trying out an entirely new theme with the upcoming album,” the girl group’s agency said. “They will show their more mature side, both in their look and their music.”

The lead track “I’m So Sick” expresses the feelings of a woman disenchanted with love.

NCT’s Taeyong briefly tuned in on Naver’s V app Saturday to share his favorite Thai restaurant with fans.

“This is my second time at this restaurant,” the NCT leader said, showing fans the dishes he ordered.

“This is the tom yam soup, and this is a shrimp dish whose name I do not know,” he explained.

As the “meokbang” (mukbang) video was uploaded a day prior to Taeyong’s birthday, the comment section was filled with fans wishing the 23-year-old happy birthday, with the hashtag #HappyTaeyongDay.
