RM of BTS went live to celebrate his birthday with the fans, and some bandmates briefly joined in.

Suga took out a guitar and played a happy birthday song for RM, while J-Hope, Jungkook, Jimin and Jin brought out cakes and said hello to the viewers.

While exiting the room, Jimin made a heart with his fingers and Jungkook yelled, "Army, I miss you. We miss you, Army."

"That was a spectacle, right guys?" said RM when everyone went out of the room. "It was like a storm. We just finished our morning broadcast with Japan NTV's The Music Day, and the members are napping outside to catch on their sleep."

Then he explained he turned on V Live because he didn't have a lot of opportunities to talk with the fans directly except via interviews for "Dynamite." He also wanted to genuinely thank the fans for topping the Billboard chart.

He updated the fans about his workout, how he only started working out regularly two months ago and stopped doing pilates. Right after his debut, he injured his shoulders while lifting heavy weights, so he stopped and resumed it only recently. His body got a bit bigger but not yet as bulky, and he hopes to be in better shape by the early or middle of next year.

When the pandemic is over, he wishes to go to museums more especially Musee d'Orsay in Paris since he's never been there and recommended Netflix's "The Good Place." With music, he's recently been listening to Bob Dylan, NAS' "King's Disease" album, Aimer's "Ref:Rain" album, Autumn Vacation's "The World is Like a Hankerchief," Lee Sora's "Eyebrow Moon" and Kim Oki's "Yun Hyongkeun."

Regarding the septet's interview with KBS news, he had felt nervous before but believes a certain level of nervousness also helped him perform and speak better.

Soojin of (G)I-dle chats with fans

(Naver's V Live)

Soojin of (G)I-dle chatted with her fans for about an hour to catch up.

She explained the makeup products that she was wearing that day and showed off her outfit, which she said wasn't too special, and her purse that she's been advertising lately.

When her fans asked if she was going to have long hair in the next comeback, she responded, "I want to but my hair is too short. Even with extensions, it has to be of a certain length or it looks unnatural. So I'm thinking of using a shampoo that makes hair grow faster."

She showed off her black nails and would eat chicken feet that her mom brought yesterday for dinner. "I've been eating a lot of Szechuan food lately as a late-night snack because I like spicy food though I can't eat it that well."

"Lately, I started studying English," she shared shyly. "I couldn't speak it at all before and am taking classes every day. I learned to express my emotions and others' emotions in a sentence. Today, I am learning about don't/doesn't/didn't sentences."

When the comments asked her to express her feelings in English, she laughed because she was embarrassed and said "I was tired because...", then stopped.

The Boyz celebrated Hyunjae's birthday with an ice cream cake.

"This is the first time we're celebrating my birthday in Korea since debut," he said. "We were always overseas for our schedules."

"We were all practicing very hard so I forgot that it was even my birthday," he continued, and the rest of the members laughed telling him not to lie.

The bandmates said they are working hard on their comeback and asked the viewers to check out the tracklist they released earlier.

Then while the rest of the act danced and played around in the background, Hyunjae spent time reading the comments and thanking everyone who wished him a nice birthday and to eat as much fried chicken as he'd like.

(Naver's V Live)

Lovelyz shared behind-the-scene clips of filming their music video, especially the scene where they all dressed up in suits and danced to "Obliviate."

"As someone with experience dancing in a suit, it's much more difficult so everyone be warned," said Sujeong jokingly.

"It's so hard to dance with a tail," said Jin who was speaking of the strings attached behind her suit jacket. "But more than the tail, the jacket keeps slipping off. Our fans said they wanted to see us dance in suits so we prepared the look for them."

Jisoo talked of the scene in Harry Potter, when Heromine had to erase memories of her from their parents' memories to keep them safe. She said it was such a sad scene for her, and that was why the song felt sad to her.

Then she assigned houses for the bandmates, saying how Kei feels like a Slytherin, Baby Soul and Sujeong are Ravenclaw, Yein and Mijoo could be a Gryffindor and Mijoo is a Hufflepuff.
