“Let’s make them dizzy,” said Lee Know, beginning the livestream playfully by turning the selfie camera.

“We had a present from you Stays,” said the band, showing the trophy for the rookie award in the music section of the awards. Stays refer to the group’s fans.

“This is my second time taking to V Live today, as I did my solo segment earlier. But I look very different, right?” said Bang Chan, laughing as the camera zoomed in for a closer look at his gray eyes and blond hair.

“It’s been a while we went on a stage in Korea, and how did it feel, everyone? It was good!” said Changbin as the bandmates hooted in harmony.

After each of the nine members had said hi, they gave fans a hint for their upcoming EP, “Cle 2: Yellow Wood.”

“You must have seen the group teaser image (for the lead song “Side Effect”). At midnight you may have another taste, and will have a dream about us,” said Seungmin.

The 12 members debuted as a group through the audition program “Produce 48” in June last year. Their sold-our concert “‘Eyes on Me’ in Seoul” attracted 18,000 fans.

“We really did it! Thank you fans -- whether you were at the concert or not. I could feel how much we were loved, and will pay back your support by working myself that much harder,” said Kim Chaewon.

“I want to thank my bandmates for letting us finish the show successfully. And our fans, thank you. Even though some of you couldn’t make it, your support itself gives us so much strength. Let’s stay together!” said Jang Wonyoung, making tiny hearts with her fingers.

IZ*ONE will perform live in Bangkok, Thailand, Taiwan and Hong Kong, followed by a tour in Japan.

Despite a tight schedule -- which had seen them leave for Manila the previous day after flying in from Los Angeles on Friday -- the 10 members waved and nodded to fans and cameras waiting for them.

“Hello, it’s been a while,” said Taeyong. “There has been a delay due to rain but we made it safely,” he added.

Since January, the subunit of NCT has performed 29 times in 20 cities in North America and Japan. It will meet fans in Bangkok, Thailand later this month. The boy band will perform three times in the Thai capital, extended from the original two due to fans’ request.

It will then begin the European leg of its global tour: St. Petersburg and Moscow in June and London and Paris in July.

Youngjae was striking cute poses for instant pictures -- gifts for fans -- and signing each of them.

“Can I keep this?” asked Jinyoung, referring to one of his own pictures.

Yugyeom was busy reading lines from a script.

Right before a short livestreamed segment for the music program, Youngjae asked if he could change partner but he changed his mind as soon as JB shot him a glance, pacifying the leader by making a heart with his hands.

Ever-charismatic JB buried his face in his hands when he had to do a cute dance as a penalty -- to the delight of his bandmates.

“This is his best,” declared Jackson, clapping his hands.

After a powerful performance onstage that wrapped up the group’s TV activities for the single with a top-chart prize, the seven members returned to the waiting room patting themselves on the back.
