Sunwoo, Q and New of The Boyz took to V Live after a performance that was inspired by their childhood dreams.

“It’s been a long day,” said Q, “not just because of the hectic schedule but rather because it felt as if I had two jobs.”

“But we got to realize our dreams,” said New.

“True. I really wanted to be a zookeeper,” said Q, dressed up in a khaki getup with a cute little plush deer named Kiki on his shoulder.

New was dressed up as Saint-Exupery’s Little Prince and said he was bewildered when the stem on his flower broke.

“I had to hold it tight with my hand as I had all my choreography ready (involving the flower) and couldn’t afford to lose it,” he said, shaking his head.

Sunwoo assured his bandmate that it hadn’t been noticeable and asked their fans if they liked the performance.

“It was as if we had returned to our childhood,” he said.

NCT makes sweets for Halloween

(Naver's V Live)

Taeyong, Doyoung, Jaemin and Lucas of NCT tried making desserts in time for Halloween.

“Before that, why don’t we join the trend and come up with an alter ego?” Doyoung suggested, and the others were happy to oblige. Doyoung and Jaemin respectively incorporated the Korean and English words for garlic into their names, while Taeyong chose a pumpkin and Lucas went for Dracula.

They were split into two pairs, and the older musicians had to make Halloween-themed macarons and hot dogs fashioned after a mummy. The younger pair were asked to make mummy-inspired toast and cookies fit for the holiday.

“I’m going to use cheese for my mummy hotdog!” declared Taeyong, going for the knife.

Doyoung, on the other hand, confided that he was at a loss as to where to begin.

“I’m roasting marshmallows,” Jaemin told viewers with a proud smile while Lucas stared at him with wide eyes.

Lucas’ smiling mummy was voted the best, as “he did his best and it’s the most scary looking,” Doyoung said.

Stray Kids' Seungmin sings love, covering B1A4 ballad

(Naver's V Live)

Seungmin of Stray Kids released a cover of “Stay as You Are,” originally sung by Sandeul of B1A4.

The boy band’s main vocalist sang the ballad, which came out four years ago as the title track from Sandeul’s debut solo album.

Confident that he will be able to recognize his love interest even though they have yet to meet in person, the song’s narrator admits he is jealous and wonders if she will even remember his love when they finally meet.

Stray Kids wrapped up its promotions for “Back Door,” the main track from “In Live,” a reissue of its first full-length album, about 10 days ago. The album and songs from the repackaged album made it onto a number of Billboard’s charts. The band will release its first EP in Japan next month.

Kang Daniel says "Bello!" for online Halloween party

(Naver's V Live)

Kang Daniel dressed up as a Minion and danced -- to “2U” -- for an online Halloween party.

He wobbled to stand at a table decorated with jack-o’-lanterns and skulls in many different shapes and sizes. At the center was a mummy cake that was cute, not scary, with huge googly eyes.

“Although you cannot see me, I assure you it’s me,” said Kang, chuckling and asking, “You did not expect to see me like this, right?”

He tried to read the comments from viewers through the hole in the yellow character’s eye. He’d borrowed the costume, so he couldn’t mess it up, said the idol, laughing.

For Halloween, he’d thought of many costume ideas, including Spider Man. But instead of dressing up as a superhero as many people expected, he’d decided on a Minion. Another thing he wanted viewers to know was that he hadn’t put on any makeup for Halloween so far, he added.
