“I have been preparing for two months now to start a YouTube channel. I have been studying for two months now the skills required to become a YouTuber,” she said, livestreaming while sitting on a toilet seat in a hotel room.

She aired the broadcast from inside the bathroom because of the lighting.

The livestream was started by her bandmate Moonbyul -- her roommate for the day -- while Solar was away.

“I have put on makeup for an interview today and so I turned on the V app. I didn’t want to just go to bed,” Moonbyul said at the start of the broadcast.

While on air, she visited the room that two other bandmates -- Hwasa and Wheein -- were sharing.

The three had a lively chat with fans there before Moonhyul returned to find Solar was back.

“It’s interesting. Like two years ago, I dreamt only in English. But now, I sometimes dream in Korean and sometimes in English, about half and half,” he said. Aron was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.
