The two aired the ask-us-anything themed broadcast from Solar’s home, casually chatting with fans.

“I don’t understand people who leave vicious comments,” Moonbyul said as the topic moved to online comments.

“Whenever I see comments like you’re ugly, I want to reply, ‘Show me your face.’”

“Why hurt someone you don’t even know? I want to tell them to just focus on their own life,” she went on, vowing to show no leniency toward online defamation.

Solar agreed. “Sometimes I read some of those hateful comments -- I don’t intentionally look for them but just bump into them -- and get a bit of let-down. But it doesn’t last long, because there are a lot more positive and encouraging comments from fans.”

Moonbyul said: “We’re strong enough to deal with them.”

Cha talked on various topics from his recent taking of the Japanese Proficiency Test to his goals for the next year.

“The 2018 was a busy year. Next year, hopefully I will be as just as busy as this year? In 2019, I want to grow stronger (…) build the inner strength,” he said.

Astro is to hold concerts on Dec. 22 and 23 at KBS Arena Hall in Seoul.
