Mino livestreams in wee hours

Mino of K-pop quartet Winner went on the V app in the wee hours of Friday.

As with previous livestreams, he seemed to care little about being on air, just doing what he was doing -- this time he was working on some tunes and listening to music.

“Hello. Have you all had a good rest during the holiday?” he said after a few minutes went by in silence. “I was working,” he added.

“Working on what? It could be my solo song or something else. I don’t know. Just doing,” he said.

After 22 minutes on air, past 4 a.m., he said good night to viewers, adding that it was time to go to bed.

“From yesterday, I received a lot of texts wishing me happy birthday. While reading those, I almost cried. I thought that I am a lucky person,” he said.

He had been home all day resting and had just put on a shirt before going on the V app, added the member of the septet.

“I like this -- resting at home,” he said.

He talked about a recent trip to Okinawa, Japan, with his family.

“I think I was a good boy to my mom. I let her do anything and go anywhere she felt like,” he said.
