Victon is back together again with Han Seungwoo at the center and showcased its sixth EP, “Continuous,” via Naver’s V Live.

The band opened the showcase with “Nostalgic Night,” the title track from its previous album. Choi Byungchan couldn’t dance with the band due to a neck problem, but sang while seated off to the side.

“I am very sorry to our fans, who must have been waiting to see all of us perform together,” said Choi.

“It was the first time we put ‘Nostalgic Night’ on the stage as a septet, although Byungchan had to stay seated,” said Kang Seungsik, “and even when we were practicing it felt new in a good way. With all seven of us it definitely feels fuller.”

Besides preparing content to accompany the album, Han has devoted all his time to practicing.

“I haven’t been onstage for some time, so I have put a lot of thought into this,” said the performer, who was a member of the now disbanded X1.

Stray Kids’ Hyunjin dances for fans

(Naver's V Live)

Hyunjin of Stray Kids livestreamed from the dance studio after practice in an effort to cheer his fans up.

Instead of going ahead with his usual live segment, where he discusses viewers’ concerns, he decided to try to boost their spirits by showing off some dance moves.

Since it had been a last-minute change, he said, he hadn’t prepared much and said he might talk more.

“Let me warm up a little bit,” said the idol while stretching to some music. He chuckled when some fans told him to sit in front of the camera and talk to them instead of dancing.

Murmuring that he didn’t know what dance he should do, he put on Shawn Mendes’ “Mercy,” calling it a great song. Hyunjin sang along and later grooved to the music. As the song ended, he opened the door and let Bang Chan wave hello while keeping his face down.

NCT Dream’s Renjun talks about new hobby

(Naver's V Live)

Renjun of NCT Dream went live in the car on his way back home, despite the late hour.

“It is rare to take to V Live at this hour,” he said apologetically after checking the time. It was almost a quarter past 11, but he explained that he’d had a recording after his regular live show.

When fans commented that his shoulders looked broader on the show, he was surprised.

“That is impossible. I haven’t been working out recently,” said Renjun, adding that he never went anywhere these days except for the radio station.

As for his plans to release a cover song, he predicted it would take time to sort out the copyright issues. Meanwhile, he has found a new hobby, he said, referring to a drawing he posted on social media.

“I have copied one I saw on the internet. Anybody can do it,” said the idol modestly.

Tomorrow X Together enjoys amusement park

(Naver's V Live)

The bandmates of TXT had a blast at Lotte World, an amusement park in Seoul, in the ninth episode of their reality program.

“It’s been a while, coming here all together,” said Yeonjun as the boys shouted excitedly.

They were split into two teams, with Beomgyu as a go-between, and everyone headed for the pirate ship ride.

“It’s my favorite!” said Soobin, jumping up and down.

But the quintet’s faces fell when they learned that they had to remember a children’s song and sing it while riding. Soobin and Yeonjun were even more worried as they picked a song they were not familiar with at all.

“I don’t know about the song. Let’s just have fun!” said Beomgyu, who joined the older bandmates, who shouted out the lyrics as the ship swung back and forth.

Taehyun and Hueningkai, on the other hand, were full of confidence -- having chosen a very well-known song -- but they kept their eyes closed throughout the ride, making the other three laugh.
