What’s inside the suitcases of boy band iKON?

The group released the Philippine capital Manila episode of its concert video series via V Live on Sunday.

In the clip, titled “iKON-on Continue Tour in Manila,” Song plays the role of emcee on a self-appointed mission to find out what’s inside each of their suitcases.

In Chan’s luggage were a handful of health supplements and medications. Song even found some low frequency therapy equipment, which Chan said was a gift from a fan.

“It is very strong. It gives a good massage,” Chan explained.

What stood out in DK’s suitcase were the hats and shoes.

“Just like a fashionista,” Song said. DK showed a red cap made especially for him by his cousin.

“We’re on our way to a cheese hot dog joint. It’s freezing out here,” said Sakura Miyawaki, walking down a street with Hitomi Honda and Nako Yabuki.

In another video uploaded to the group’s V Live channel shortly afterward, the band shares the hot dogs brought by the trio.

Kwon Eun-bi refrained from eating too much, however, saying she was on a diet. Her bandmates, however, revealed she had previously been witnessed eating ice cream and tteokbokki, or spicy rice cakes.

Twice teases “Best Thing I Ever Did”

Twice continues to build anticipation for its upcoming “The Best Thing I Ever Did,” releasing a second teaser via V Live on Sunday.

The new video -- just 30 seconds long -- continues the track’s main theme of winter and year’s end unveiled in the first teaser, but features the nine bandmates in solitary scenes.

A groovy rhythm and blues tune mixed with the act’s signature pop sounds, “The Best Thing” is the lead track for the act’s upcoming album “The Year of ‘Yes,’” set to release Wednesday.

The repackaged edition of “Yes or Yes” comprises seven tracks from the original album and two new tracks.

“The Best Thing” has drawn keen attention from fans as well as industry insiders because JYP, producer and CEO of the act’s label JYP Entertainment, participated in its making alongside six composers.
