The bandmates of Enhypen went live to talk about their upcoming debut.

They will try not to give out too many hints, though, said Heeseung in advance, and the members agreed that Jay was the most likely to do so.

“There is so much I want to say,” admitted Jay.

The septet began by talking about the costumes, which were mostly white. Sunghoon recalled how some of the bandmates had worn their jackets inside out when they were eating lest they get stained. This led to the topic of the leather outfits for the music video, which they liked.

“You really have to see the whole video,” said Jay, raising expectations for the release of the full visuals.

Heeseung told the rest that he was proud they’d managed to not show how cold it was outside when shooting the video trailer. They’d put heat packs on their backs, he said, but Jake confided that he hadn’t used one and regretted it.

“We gathered around and huddled like penguins,” Sunghoon said, smiling at the memory.

Stray Kids’ Bang Chan goes live at midnight

(Naver's V Live)

Bang Chan of Stray Kids chatted and listened to songs with his fans in the 82nd episode of his solo weekly segment.

Although the band had already celebrated with and thanked the members of Stay, the band’s official fandom community, in a previous livestream for helping the band win the best music video award at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards, Bang Chan thanked them again before starting the playlist for the day.

The first song was Young K’s cover of “Alone in This World,” and he told the viewers to buckle up as there were 18 more songs to listen to. He’d received a lot of recommendations through video fan meets earlier that day and the previous day.

After playing Henry’s “Just Be Me,” Bang Chan talked about his first encounter with the musician the previous week on the set of a music program.

“It was the first time I saw him in person and he had this aura,” he said, admitting that he admired Henry for his musical capabilities. He was happy to see that Henry had the same bag as his, carrying the laptop he used to make music.

BTS’s 4th take on “Life Goes On” full of black-and-white snapshots

(Naver's V Live)

BTS made another video for “Life Goes On” from the band’s eighth album, “BE.”

The visuals in this fourth version are a jumble of black-and-white still photographs capturing the septet having fun and relaxing. During breaks from shooting they play ball and jump around, lie on their backs on the grass, and take naps. Suga flashes a huge grin while playing the guitar. Jimin braves into the stream and splashes water on Jin, while J-Hope and V dance together.

Close-ups of each member, some playfully looking into the camera offstage and some serious, singing into the mic onstage, are mixed with monochrome images of a tunnel with a light at the end and of a night sky studded with stars, ending with a shot of a shooting star now in color.

“BE” debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 on Sunday local time, becoming the fifth album from the band to rank No. 1 in only 2 1/2 years. BTS is the second-fastest group in history to produce five No. 1 albums, outpaced only by the Beatles.

Stray Kids thanks fans for trophy

(Naver's V Live)

The bandmates of Stray Kids went live together squeaking like mice.

“You told us that we’re really loud so we’ll be doing this as an ASMR,” I.N explained. It was not long before they burst into laughter, however, as Lee Know read out a fan’s comment aloud. They should ditch the idea since viewers cannot hear a thing, the commenter said.

The boys playfully pretended with a black box and mentioned the trophy they’d received at the 2020 Asia Artist Awards. They thanked their fans for liking their music videos and helping them win the award.

“This is the third time, right?” Changbin asked. Seungmin nodded and added that it felt strange.

“We’ll put the trophy in our room,” Changbin said. Then Han chimed in and said there was still a lot of space and they would eventually get more, one at a time.

As for their last appearance, promoting “All In,” they told fans that they’d decided to stick to the original choreography as it was only the third time they were performing it onstage.
