Yugyeom of GOT7 was in his studio as he live streamed over the weekend.

“I woke up at about 10 a.m. this morning, ate breakfast and then started working on making new music,” he told fans what he had been up to.

When one fan asked what kind of fashion style he wanted to try, the singer hesitated to answer as he explained he’s tried a wide range of styles already.

In a rather random manner, the singer also read some of the comments in the chat including one that said, “I’m happy to enter high school,” prompting him to quietly clap.

He continued to share his plans for the week.

“I met a dance tutor for the first time in a while and we spoke. It was fun dancing together after a while.”

When asked about what food he had, he said sundubu-jjigae, a spicy soft tofu stew, which he said was “delicious.”

During the weekend live-stream, he also talked about the group’s appearance on Mnet’s reality survival show “Road to Kingdom.”

“Verivery, Oneus, Golden Child and TOO, you’ve all worked very hard,” he said before adding, “We know how hard we all worked for each performance.”

The singer also went on to praise the staff of the show including the producers, writers and directors.
