Xiumin of EXO greets fans after his discharge from military

The EXO vocalist took to V Live on Sunday afternoon for his first official event after being discharged from the military. Titled “Xiumin’s Let It Snow,” the broadcast featured the musician in a white studio, fitting well with the snowy weather outside.

“Hi everyone, EXO-Ls, I’m here. It’s time to spend only happy moments with me. We don’t have to be apart again. We can always be together from now on. Thank you for waiting for me,” Xiumin told his fans tuning in from around the world.

His bandmate Kai, who recently made his solo debut, also joined the broadcast as a host.

“What surprised me the most was your face. You got younger and look so pretty that you may debut again,” said Kai.

Xiumin replied, “Breathing fresh air and following a regular daily schedule earned me those things.”

The two went onto play a “balance game,” and communicated with global fans.

The singer, who started his military service in May last year, was discharged from his duties on Dec. 6.

Clad in a comfy striped shirt, Dokyeom told viewers, “I’m here at my dormitory after finishing a scheduled event. I turned on the TV so it doesn’t sound so quiet.”

He continued, “This morning I woke up and looked outside, and it was white everywhere. I was so happy. Remember when we used to wait for Christmas as students? I felt that excitement in a very long time. So I wrote on Weverse, ‘Everyone, it’s snowing!’”

NU’EST’s Jonghyun delves into convenience store food


Jonghyun of NU’EST delved into his favorite snacks from a convenience store.

“I didn’t have lunch yet, and I remembered how you guys liked me eating ramen last time during V Live. So today, I brought some food from a convenience store,” said Jonghyun.

“First is dumpling, my favorite convenience store food,” he added.

While enjoying the food, Jonghyun talked about his childhood and shared episodes of his school days.

“When I was 6 years old, I used to call my older sister ‘unnie,’ as I didn’t know the right way for a boy to call his sister. This is what happens when you have two older sisters in family,” he added.

NU’EST received “Artist of the Year” award at the 2020 The Fact Music Awards (TMA) on Dec. 12
