SHINee’s Jonghyun performed in a guerrilla concert in Hongdae, Seoul, Friday evening and aired the event on the V app for those unable to join him at the spot. Titled “Jonghyun’s Healing Story,” the sporadic concerts by the singer will take place in Seoul over the next few days to mark the singer’s new EP, “Story Op.1.” Jonghyun’s Hongdae performance was very interactive, with the singer directly communicating with the surrounding fans and singing songs they requested. Jonghyun sang a selection of songs he wrote for group EXO and singer Lim Kim. In a separate clip, Jonghyun once again appeared on the V app inside a moving van. He unfolded papers with questions written by his fans and answered them live.

Yoo Hee-yeol turned down CNBLUE’s Jung Yong-hwa’s self-written song for Yoo and Jeong Hyung-don’s new radio channel, “Between Foxes.” Popular singer Jung wrote an introductory song for the radio program. After listening to the song, Yoo thanked him, but rejected the singer’s song due to it being too long. Yoo said fans can send their personal stories via messenger service KakaoTalk to the ID KBSfox42.

B1A4’s Shinwoo named his segment “B1A4 Shinwoo’s Amazing Radio,” taking the baton from preceding group member Sandeul. Shinwoo read letters he received from his fans in a radio host-like manner, conversing with them on camera. He bid the fans stay in good health through the seasonal temperature drop and wrapped up the day’s broadcasts.
