“I am sure you have enjoyed it but I personally had a lot of fun doing ‘Snap Shoot,’” said Dino.

The boys agreed that their performances of “Home,” rearranged into a carol, and “Snap Shoot” added to the Christmas vibe. As for Dogyeom and Seungkwan’s joint performance with Shin Seunghoon, Hosi said, not only was the singing beautiful but looking at the two appearing onstage with the legendary singer made him emotional.

The band members said they hoped fans had had fun and spent Christmas with their loved ones.

“I got to spend this day with the Carats, so I did!” said Mingyu, referring to the band’s official fandom.

They also assured fans that S.Coups and Jeonghan were OK and resting well. When viewers said they were worried about Wonwoo’s sore lips, Seungkwan said he needed more vitamins and went to fetch some.

“We have been touring overseas,” said Byungchan with mock swagger.

Whenever the musicians met fans from other countries, from fan meets to autograph sessions, they had talked about going to the fans’ countries to perform, said Sejun. With this Asian tour, he said, their wish was coming true.

They lit up the candles on a cake -- “I bought it myself!” said Subin -- and blew them out after making some Christmas wishes, but admitted that they had not been feeling Christmas-y enough.

“Maybe because it is harder to find as many decorations as before,” commented Byungchan, adding that felt rather sad.

“It does not feel any different than the other days,” said Heo Chan.

But it would soon be 2020 and their concert was only 10 days away, Seungsik reminded the others. Subin was surprised when the older band members said there wasn’t much time left to practice.

Felix mentioned their performance that day, and the rest of the bandmates said they had prepared a lot and thoroughly enjoyed taking to the stage.

“We did ‘Miroh’ and there was a short dance break for the intro and the choreography for the hook was slightly changed,” explained Seungmin.

The members complimented Felix on his dramatic drum performance, comparing him to a roaring tiger. Everyone did well, Felix said, adding that he was even happier as the fans seemed to appreciate the performance. Compared with last year, the band’s first time taking part in the program, they had matured a lot, noted Seungmin.

As for a special segment that featured Seungmin, Felix and Hyunjin teamed up against NCT Dream’s Chenle, Jisung and Jaemin, Seungmin said it was a completely novel experience.

“This is the first time we are visiting the city so I am very curious,” said JB in the footage.

The septet greeted fans from the scenic Dutch village of Giethoorn.

“This is arguably the most beautiful place in the Netherlands, worth the three-hour drive from Amsterdam,” said Jinyoung.

They began to stroll around and JB basked in the picturesque landscape, taking photographs and running with his arms extended.

“Looking at all this made me ... want to eat,” said Jackson, ushering everyone except JB, who chose to take a short walk alone, to a restaurant.

Jackson freaked out at the sight of a spider and flailed around when insects came near him, before quickly recovering. Then he teamed up with Jinyoung to play pranks on Bambam.
