Wearing a yellow T-shirt and a navy-blue cap, Woozi was apparently uncomfortable at the beginning of the solo broadcast. “I don’t know what to say,” he said. “This is so awkward, to do V alone,” he said.

He mostly answered questions from fans, read out by someone off camera, on a wide range of topics -- his favorite burger, music, games, his skin.

To the question “Do you know that you’re cute?” Woozi replied, “No. I really don’t understand why fans think I am cute.”

At the end of the 25-minute video, the off-screen questioner joined Woozi on camera. It was fellow Seventeen member Joshua.

With band leader Yoon Du-jun absent following his military enlistment, the four remaining members are currently promoting their latest album, “Outro,” and lead song “Loved.” Both the song and the album were released Tuesday.

Asked to describe the album in one word, Lee Ki-kwang chose “wrap-up.”

“Our leader is already serving in the Army and we are preparing to follow suit soon. This album, for me, is like a wrap-up of our activities so far ahead of the impending hiatus,” he said.

Highlight, rebranded from Beast last year, is to hold a concert Saturday and Sunday in Seoul.

“We just had a practice session and decided to release our stress by indulging in something sweet,” Eun-bi said, taking a sip of hot chocolate with Japanese bandmate Nako. “We will go on a diet tomorrow, not today.”

The duo then indulged in a piece of chocolate cake, a Swiss roll filled with whipped cream, a piece of carrot cake, a slice of cheesecake and a cream-filled bun.
