K-pop singer Eric Nam made an appearance on V app for the fifth episode of his regular program “Time Out” on Wednesday.

But this time, the app regular Nam went live much earlier than the regular scheduled 10 p.m. slot, in order to introduce a new song he featured in.

“Welcome to ‘Time Out,’” Nam said. “It’s Wednesday morning and it’s 11:50 a.m. We are doing a countdown, because I have featured in a new song; it’s called ‘I Wonder.’ And it’s a song from a new girl group. Their name is Playback. In order to meet them and introduce them to you guys, we are at a place called Granology.”

Nam then introduced the four-member group Playback -- consisting of Yena, Hayoung, Soyun and Woolim -- and talked about the song.

“When you hear the song, it’s very addictive,” said member Woolim.

“It’s a very bright and energetic song so please check out,” said Nam.

Meanwhile, Nam and the girls, who hadn’t had breakfast, ate granola and yogurt, the staple of the cafe Granology.

Right before listening to their song, which was released at noon, the Playback members made a pledge that if the song’s music video passes 500,000 views on YouTube, they will upload a funny dance version to the song.

Playback’s latest single “I Wonder,” featuring Nam, was released online at noon on Wednesday.
