Jisung and Winwin of NCT bond over marshmallows

Jisung and Winwin of NCT enjoyed a short talk with fans during their V Live broadcast. The two NCT members appeared with a backdrop of a camping-inspired set, telling fans they were roasting marshmallows.

With a mysterious look, Jisung said, “We are actually wearing in-ear microphones and you guys might also hear people giggling next to us.”

Right after his words, Haechan made a surprise appearance and said, “Surprise! Actually, they are on a mission, which is to roast marshmallows for each other, feed each other and have a conversation for three minutes without a break.”

Dubbed as “getting friendly with an awkward member,” the video was a part of NCT’s regular content featuring groupmates who have yet to become friendly with each other.

“But I think they did a great job breaking the ice. Now, we are off to a shoot, which you guys will find out about very soon. Bye,” said Haechan.
