Jinyoung of GOT7 took to Naver’s V Live after a fan meeting session via video calls.

It is just me, he told viewers, and seeing some comments that asked him to do more song covers, he promised that he will and told fans to send him suggestions.

“The comments are coming in so fast I cannot keep up,” he said with a smile.

He satisfied eager fans, replying to a series of questions -- he had a practice for the next day’s performance; his Christmas wish this year is snow -- and singing a number of songs.

There are so many great movies and he needs to watch so many more, but his favorite movie so far this year was the Italian movie “Martin Eden.”

“I was very much impressed with the actor … I wish I could act like him when I get older,” said the musician who has been acting as well. He chose “When My Love Blooms” and then “The Devil Judge” -- he played the lead in both -- when a fan asked him to pick a favorite Korean drama, and quickly apologized.

The Boyz’s Q hosts marathon chat

(Naver's V Live)

Q of The Boyz talked to fans on his own for the first time in a while from New’s studio and stayed for three hours.

“I don’t know why I was so nervous, probably because it has been a while I’m doing this alone,” he confided chuckling.

He had two yellow smiley stickers on one of his cheeks and he explained that he had breakouts that he did not want to show. He agonized over what to use to cover the flareup and carefully chose the stickers even taking into account his blue hair color, he said.

The idol talked about his new hobby: painting. He wanted to break the rhythm of going back and forth between work and home that can slip into monotonous routine.

“I wanted to spend some time for myself,” he went on, “and I liked it even though it sometimes means that I have to cut down my sleep.” He started with pipo painting and after finishing a project, gave a try at freestyle painting.

“The first one, I didn’t understand what it was about … I want to show you something good,” he smiled.

TXT’s Huening Kai enjoys small chat

(Naver's V Live)

Huening Kai of Tomorrow X Together chatted with fans in his uniform.

He decided to livestream that wat as there would not be that many opportunities to wear it anymore, he explained.

Fans asked him to share tidbits from his recent days and he said that he has slept well the night before wearing his new pajamas that arrived only that day.

“I’ll post a selfie of me in them. You may be surprised,” he said with a wink and a chuckle.

The performer volunteered more “TMI” saying that he found Soobin, who left work earlier than him, sound asleep in his bed. He shooed Soobin away and later saw the leader sleeping on the sofa. And the next morning, the latter was not in the living room.

“He must have woken up and moved at least twice,” said Huening Kai.

He was willing to indulge viewers’ small requests, such as making hearts with his fingers and speaking in English, but firmly turned down those asking for spoilers lifting his arms and crossing them.

NCT released a remix version of “Make A Wish (Birthday Song),” title track from the first installment of its second full-length album, “NCT: The 2nd Album Resonance Pt. 1.”

Los Angeles-based DJ and producer Wuki who was nominated for best remix at the 2019 Grammy Awards, for his take on Miley Cyrus’ “Mother’s Daughter,” added his signature EDM touch to the subunit’s hit song. The new music video also went through a spin of dazzling graphics that maximized the effect of intoxicating sounds.

It is part of “iScreaM Vol.6: Make A Wish / 90’s Love Remix” as part of ScreaM Records’ rearrangement series that rerecords works of artists from its parent label SM Entertainment.

The 23-piece act’s “Pt. 1” EP topped iTunes top album chart in 32 countries upon release in October.
