“We are livestreaming at this hour since it is a special day!” said Taeyong at almost 11 p.m., opening a black box to show a glass sculpture reading “3rd anniversary trophy.”

“It used to be in the form of a badge,” said Doyoung, sending them into a moment of nostalgia before asking if the trophy is for sale. “There are so many items for sale,” he added quietly.

“Over the past three years we have made so many good memories all thanks to you. And we’re looking forward to an even happier future with you,” said Taeil.

“It felt like five years,” added Taeyong.

“More like 30 years,” Yuta escalated, prompting laughs.

“Yes. We have gone through what those close to our ages usually don’t get to experience, and have built up a lot of memories along the way, unforgettable memories,” said Taeyong.

Bang Chan picked out instant noodles, tteokbokki, sausage, eggs and cheese. When he finished listing everything, the other two cautiously asked if the last one, a peach-flavored drink, would be in the mix. “No,” he said, allowing the two to visibly relax.

“I’ve been watching some animations that center around food these days … and I will come up with food that will be visually satisfying,” said the leader confidently.

Lee Know kept it relatively simple, mixing instant Vietnamese rice noodles with microwaved marinated pork entrails, to become the first to complete a dish. “This will be a little hot so it goes perfectly well with a steamed egg,” he said, adding eggs to the soup from the noodles before microwaving.

Woojin had the most ingredients, as he prepared two dishes. Seeing a bag of chips being mixed into a bowl of rice and can of tuna, Bang Chan sounded skeptical, asking Woojin, “Have you tried it yourself?”

“This will be the last performance of the tour so we will put our everything into it,” said Yugyeom on the plane.

The pair, accompanied by Mark, enjoyed chili crab, a local delicacy, but it was fried rice and samgyeobsal -- pork belly -- that filled Yugyeom’s stomach. “The staff always prepares this before all live performances no matter what, and I am so grateful,” said the youngest member of the band, popping a piece of meat wrapped in lettuce into his mouth.

JB said he was half nervous and half excited for the show, but on stage the duo seemed to have a blast.

“It was our first international tour as a two-piece unit and it was more fun than I thought. As GOT7, it would have been more about the performances themselves, but this time in a way we were freer to feel it afterwards as well,” said the leader.

“You must have had a hard time keeping up with my pace,” said Yugyeom as JB chuckled.

“I usually wipe off makeup as soon as I come off stage but didn’t today since I was going to livestream,” he said, sporting dramatically smudged eyes.

“I had dinner while Hyungwon was doing his segment,” the performer told his fans, asking if they had seen the “handsome” bandmate’s livestream. He had Korean food, but on the day when the band arrived in Paris, they went to have escargot, said Wonho, showing a picture of the fancy French snail delicacy. “It was so good,” he beamed.

Going through pictures on his smartphone, he also said he had been a good tourist, paying a visit to the Eiffel Tower with Minhyeok the day before.

Poking fun at those who joked he sounded like a home shopping channel host on his last V Live episode, in which he showed off a pair of Nike shoes, Wonho talked about several of his fashion items, including his silver earrings, kindly looking online to share the shopping information.
