“I am here at the practice room after a music awards ceremony. I came here to dance,” he said.

“Recommend any songs that you would like me to cover or dance to.”

During the one-hour livestream, he played both Korean and American songs, occasionally read comments and responded to them, and danced to some songs requested by viewers, including “DNA” by BTS, and “Dance The Night Away” by Twice.

“This is my first time doing V alone. I am actually quite nervous,” he said.

Moonbin shared a story behind his bathtub scene, in which he was seen submerged under water with floating rose petals.

“Actually, the whole scene was from going under the water and coming out, but there’s only a brief scene of my face under water,” he said, adding coming out gracefully was the hardest part.

Cha Eun-woo said the bandmates looked like noblemen from Medieval Europe.

“I want to see Aroha’s reaction videos,” he added, referring to the act’s fan base by the name of the official fan club.
