(Naver's V Live)

The members of Enhyphen took to Naver’s V Live to let their fans know that they now officially have their own greeting.

They proudly demonstrated their chant with a hand gesture that signifies connections: between them, their fans, and the world. They brainstormed and agonized over their options before making the decision, said Jake.

“For your information, I came up with the gesture,” Heeseung said proudly.

The chant includes “Connect!”, which was the first thing that came to their minds. It also goes well with the band‘s name and its meaning, like a keyword, noted Jay.

“We wanted you to be the first to know, and we pestered” the company so that they could broadcast live, said Heeseung with a huge grin. They actually were practicing when the livestream started and could not tell the first attempt was a fail, they confided, calling themselves dummies.

IZ*ONE’s Nako shares good news

(Naver's V Live)

Yabuki Nako of IZ*ONE kept fans up to speed going live from a sofa at her company.

She first shared the news, in Japanese and Korean, that her photography book will be released in March. The shooting was done a bit earlier, she added.

Her face lit up with a smile when she delivered another piece of good news.

“I had my braces taken off yesterday,” she told her fans. They were fixed to the back of her teeth and she will have to get used to the feeling now that they are gone.

The idol chuckled when some viewers told her that she looks tired. She waved her hands and said she is not.

“Maybe because my voice is lower, since I‘m alone. My voice is quite low unless I’m hyped up from being with other members,” she explained. Her favorite bandmate? Everyone, she said without any hesitation.

iKON can be merciless for fans

(Naver's V Live)

The bandmates of iKON challenged themselves not to use any loanwords with a heavy penalty: to act and speak all cutesy under the direction of the rest.

“We were planning to livestream together last week,” Jinhwan said, but they could not because Yunhyeong had an activity. The latter asked if it really was because of him and quickly apologized.

Then Jinhwan, keeping his face straight, began to attack Donghyuk asking him about his black outfit trying to make him say the brand name.

“You’re good,” Bobby told Jinhwan with a smile.

Staying quiet also was against the rule so the bandmates kept peppering each other with questions. Yunhyeong was being cornered and when he declined to say the name of the food he was eating before, Donghyuk blurted out “Oh, it must be a spoiler.”

The musicians roared up and clapped delightedly as Donghyuk rolled around and covered his face.

Stray Kids' Han has no patience for nonsense

(Naver's V Live)

The idol shoots out raps talking about how he is paving his way to become an “idol rapper” in his own right regardless of what others think or say.

Han proved his songwriting skills yet again with the solo project. He wrote the lyrics and Bang Chan collaborated on the composition and arrangement. Han is one of the production trio, called 3Racha, along with Bang Chan and Changbin.
