Bambam of GOT7 checked in on fans and invited them to listen to songs together.

He came on to V Live with one of his pet cats and told viewers that its name is Latte and it likes to sleep on his belly.

"This one is so cuddly," he said giving the sphynx cat prowling near him a rub, "and stays like this all day."

Some fans complimented him that his hair looks nice but he said that he is not happy with it and is trying to grow it out. The biggest reason he was unwilling to show his face, though, was his stubble.

"It started to grow and I tried using a razor to shave it off but my skin got so red," the musician said resignedly, "And now it is going blue here, like Jackson's."

Recently he has been enjoying listening songs he used to listen when he was a kid and he thought he may share some from the playlist. First pick was from Korean drama "Full House" he used to watch with his mother, a huge fan of perfomer Rain, since it is mother's day in Thailand.

Twice's Jungyeon braves "unauthorized" chat with fans

(Naver's V Live)

Jungyeon of Twice surprised fans with an impromptu livestream.

"I didn't even ask permission for this," she confided.

She has been reading "Tuesday with Morrie" and playing KartRider at the company lounge, waiting for her turn for recording -- "Mina is in the middle of her session" -- and decided to come on V Live.

The idol chatted with fans discussing and recommending books, dramas and movies to each other. She follows most of the hit Korean dramas, she said, but tends to go for classics in books and movies.

As for the fans' suggestion to create her own SNS account, she said she will probably not be able to maintain one since she "actually do not know how to do SNS."

Excusing herself so that she could go to the ladies' room, Jungyeon told viewers that it was nice to communicate with them and promised that she would meet them again via online chats.

Oneus shows maturity, strength: Kpop Herald

(Naver's V Live)

Kpop Herald reporter Hong Dam-young sat down with Oneus one year after the first interview and talked about its past one year as well as its upcoming EP.

"We have released a series of story films and the new EP 'LIVED' shows how we take the initiative when faced with a hard choice," said Keonhee. The title track "To Be Or Not To Be" will be a staggering number that sings about their agony, he added.

The six members were given blank paper and a bunch of colored pens to draw whatever that comes to their mind when they think of new music. Although their fourth EP will come out in a week, not many clues have been dropped.

"It will be fun watching out for what may be a spoiler," said Hwangwoong.

Hong prompted the performers to talk about the new song in the teaser trailer for which they turn to vampires.

"It is connected to 'Come Back Home' that sings about loneliness and we wanted to portray the most isolated feeling, that of a vampire who fell in love with a human," explained Keonhee.

Super Junior so eager to leave party

(Naver's V Live)

Shindong of Super Junior hosted a housewarming party for his bandmates and in the 35th episode of their reality show, suggested they play a round of quiz.

Anyone who gets the right answer can go home and the last one remaining will have to stay and clean up after the party, said the homeowner.

The first question was to pick which picture was Shindong's first post on Instagram. Siwon shot up his hand confidently but instantly admitted that he will have to make a random guess: a close-up of an eye. When it turned out to be the right answer, Siwon's eyes went wide and he stayed still for a few seconds before bowing out.

Eunhyuk almost got the second one right, Shindong's birthplace, but Ryeowook filled out the details. As soon as he was granted exit, Ryeowook ran out without even looking back.
