“I have been working out for 3 months now. It starts to show,” he said, adding that he weighed 53 kilograms that morning, 6 kilograms less than last time he checked.

“Sometime ago, I accidentally made a promise to show my abs. I am trying to keep that promise."

Ha also said he was thinking about starting Instagram as their activity as Wanna One nears to an end.

“Members have started to open their individual Instagram accounts,” Ha said.

NCT trio to have a coming of age broadcast on V

Three members of NCT, all born in 2000, aired a V Live broadcast on Saturday, asking fans what they could do to celebrate their becoming a grown-up in Korea.

Renjun, Jeno and Jaemin, who are legally 19 years old, said they turned 20 with the start of 2019 by the Korean standard.

Under the Korean age system, a baby just born is 1 year old and on Jan. 1 of the next year he or she is 2 years old, making a difference of 1 or 2 years to one’s international age.

“Haechan, (also born in 2010), couldn’t be with us today. So we made an avatar of him here,” the members said showing a picture of the bandmate.

The trio said the purpose of their broadcast -- 14 minutes long -- was to ask fans to recommend things that they can do on V Live to celebrate the coming of age.

“So please make suggestions. Leave comments!” Renjun said.

“We will do that on V Live," Jaehyun said.
