Yeonjun and Soobin of Tomorrow X Together took to V Live after a dance practice.

Yeonjun teased Soobin, telling him that his hair looks nice with all the oil. Soobin laughed and explained that it was actually sweat. They had been dancing for about four hours, Yeonjun added that they were feeling quite drained.

“We’re here to give out TMIs about the bandmates,” said Yeonjun and Soobin nudged him to start. Since they are almost always together, there is nothing that stands out, said Yeonjun.

“We used to share a hair dryer that was very old and recently got a new one. It makes (drying the hair) so much easier,” said Yeonjun, chuckling with embarrassment.

When it was Soobin’s turn, he was not sure what he should share, murmuring to himself that he is living a normal life. He has lost a lot of weight since the band stopped their most recent round of promotions, he confided, because he had been waking up very early and wating a lot to keep up the energy. The hectic schedule makes it easier for them to gain weight, Yeonjun added.

(Naver's V Live)

NCT U uploaded a music video for “’90’s Love” from “NCT ? The 2nd Album Resonance Pt. 2.”

As the song title suggests, the seven-piece subunit ?- of Ten, Winwin, Mark, Jeno, Haechan, Yangyang, and Seongchan -? fills up the ears with an upbeat hiphop number that mixes 90’s hip-hop vibe and contemporary sounds.

They turned into a team of ice hockey players for the music video which switches back and forth between the boys on and around the rink and an old-school video game screen.

It resonates with the “newtro” trend, a fresh take at a retrospective look to the past, Jeno said during the livestream before the release. The song is the focus track of the album that was fully unveiled on Monday, following the first installment that came out one month before. “Pt. 1” sold over 1.2 million units in a week and landed at No. 6 on the Billboard 200.
