According to S.M. Entertainment, NCT 127 will release a repackage for second studio album “Neo Zone.”

Miyeon from the girl group (G)I-dle showed off her new hairstyle during a recent stream on V Live.

Speaking to fans up and close to the camera, the singer showed off her silky cascade of dark, greenish hair.

“I feel like it’s been a while,” she said as she sipped her iced coffee.

“There were many good things during this promo, but we didn’t get to meet (with fans),” she regretted as she lamented the novel coronavirus pandemic that has hit the K-pop industry.

She also added that she had recently dyed her hair, with a color she worried could fade soon.

The group recently released third EP “I Trust” with lead single “Oh My God,” which has become their bestselling album to date.

During the stream, she also talked about drinking coffee before she sleeps as well as her hobbies.

On having hobbies while working, she said, “To be honest, I don’t get to watching dramas or films or even listening to music when I’m busy. When I have spare time, I just sleep.”

As for coffee, she said she’s become used to drinking caffeine and being able to sleep.
