J-Hope of BTS resumed his project of making beaded bracelets for his bandmates. But he warned viewers in advance that it might be frustrating to see his slow progress.

“I wonder myself if I can finish this today,” he said, showing off the two he’d finished last time. He was about to start on a black and white bracelet for Suga, and he realized that it would need to be bigger than the first two.

He has been practicing for the band’s upcoming online concert, scheduled for Sunday, said the artist, referring to Sunday as “D-Day.”

“My voice is hoarse,” he said, “from shouting ‘one, two, three, four’ for dance practice.”

Looking at the comments about how much fans missed him, J-Hope said they would see each other again soon.

“We’ve prepared a lot, really, and I have the feeling that many of you will enjoy it,” he said.

Doyoung of NCT 127 went live from his bed, giving fans a peek at his bedroom for the first time.

“Shockingly, there is no air conditioner in my room. Everyone else has one, but not me,” he said, asking viewers to pardon the sound of the fan. It may sound louder for people listening on their phones, he joked, but they wouldn’t want him to turn into steamed meat.

He picked up a small plush hedgehog from the shelf on his headboard and said they’d been together for five or six years.

“I’ve cleaned up my room so I can do V Live, but only the part you see on camera. The rest is a little cluttered,” confided the idol.

He listened to some songs and sang along, sometimes acting as if he were shooting a music video.

“If somebody was just dropping by to check it out, it must be so random,” he said, smiling.

Yugyeom of GOT7 demonstrated his dance skills in a 15-minute livestream.

He began the broadcast dancing to the powerful beat of a ’90s classic, Hyun Jinyoung’s “You in My Fading Memory” -- undeterred by the pink slippers on his feet.

“I don’t get to go to practice as often so I decided to dance here instead,” he told fans after the warmup.

“The music is not too loud and I had the room soundproofed quite well,” said the performer, showing viewers the floor and ceiling of his home studio and assuring them it was OK with the neighbors as long as he didn’t dance too hard.

Next he chose GOT7’s “Crazy” and then “Love You Better.”

“It’s been a while, livestreaming me dancing ... and this is the first time I’m doing this from home,” he said with a smile, sounding slightly out of breath.

Seventeen floated its “My My” video Friday at midnight, heightening anticipation for the June 22 release of the band’s seventh EP, “Heng:garae.”

The pre-released video follows three teaser trailers: one focusing on the hip-hop team, one on the performance team and one on the vocal team.

In the video, the 13 members of the boy band are having a blast camping and adventuring. With caravans parked in a desert, they make jam, toast marshmallows and lounge in hammocks -- all the while singing the upbeat tune.

They fly through the sky and sail across the ocean, reflecting the song’s theme of travel. The song is about the journey of life and how they navigate their challenges, goals and ever-changing future, said Woozi.
