Following bandmate Binnie’s livestream, Oh My Girl’s Mimi tuned into V Live on Saturday night, apparently from home.

With her hair dyed in a flashy blue, Mimi held a casual chat with fans, replying to comments and checking out funny videos related to the group.

Fans showed an explosive reaction as Mimi checked out a past dancing video she had shot in middle school before her debut. The video, showing Mimi in a purple jacket dancing to Miss A’s “Breathe,” had gone viral among fans.

Halfway through the broadcast, Arin and Binnie visited Mimi.

The three bandmates had a huge laugh with fans, watching past videos including one from Binnie when she was part of the group Preteen several years back.

The three went on to showcase comic dances to a string of songs, including HyunA’s “Bubble Pop,” Son Dam-bi’s “Saturday Night” and more.

The Boyz Sunwoo, Jacob chat with fans for 3 hours

The Boyz’s Sunwoo and Jacob broadcast via V Live on Saturday to chat with their fan group, “The Bs.” The two livestreamed for almost three hours.

The two started off talking about a TV reality show “Hangout With Yoo -- Refund Sisters” episode they appeared in that aired earlier in the day. Refund Sisters is a newly launched group of four veteran female artists, Lee Hyo-ri, Uhm Jung-hwa, Mamamoo’s Hwa and rapper Jessi.

The two, now three years into their career as K-pop idols, shared how nervous yet excited they had felt to feature in a show with their K-pop seniors.

“I felt so nervous that I just stood in the corner, unable to say anything,” Sunwoo said, adding that Uhm was very kind and Lee was funny.

Jacob, who said he had been working out before the livestream and had two sets left to finish, hopped off for few minutes during the broadcast.

Amid the chat, the two tried out a really spicy snack. Younghoon of the group also joined the show for a few minutes to try the snack, and almost finished the bag.

The two spent time writing lyrics and singing with the fans as well.

SF9’s Jae-yoon makes beaded bracelet

Jae-yoon of SF9 turned on V Live alone on Saturday night to make a bracelet.

“Although making a bracelet with beads seems easy, simply putting the beads onto the thread, it’s really not,” Jae-yoon said.

He used lettered beads to make a bracelet showing his name, with the overall color in light blue.

Jae-yoon has conducted a series of do-it-yourself craft videos titled “I Can Do This Well” on his livestream platform. He has previously tried making dalgona coffee, crocheting and making a rattan coaster.

“Challenging crochet, I faced high walls that seemed impossible to overcome alone. With rattan, I realized that there are people who are just outstandingly talented in making things with their hands,” he said, adding he feels great when he overcomes challenges and achieves advancements through such difficulties.

Successfully tying the first bracelet for himself, he went on to make another for bandmate Young-bin.
