The two girls shared some exercise tips, demonstrating correct posture and how to “walk pretty.” To practice the walking, Hyejeong and Chanmi tried walking with a book on their heads like models practicing for the catwalk.

Another tip they delivered was how to stay fit, which involved dancing along to their own music.

iKON tuned in to V at 11 p.m. while en route in a vehicle. They first thanked fans for loving their latest song, “My Type.”

The seven members were excited to announce that they were broadcasting to celebrate the release of their “debut half album,” which was released an hour later at midnight.

During the show, they talked briefly about what was going to happen in their upcoming episode on V, saying they would play games in a competition.

Getting out of the van at the management company’s office building, the members were met by a huge crowd of fans who greeted the stars, singing their song.

K-pop girl group DIA and British singer Shannon made a visit to perform Korean karaoke during the V app broadcast on Wednesday at 11 p.m.

Excited for their night out, DIA members and Shannon started pumping up the spirit by rapping. The next song on their list was “Let It Go” from Disney movie ”Frozen.” They held Elsa character dolls while singing the song.

When Shannon did sexy moves to Beyonce’s song, the atmosphere reached a climax, with seven members of DIA enthusiastically responding.

Near the end of the karaoke session, the girls together sang SNSD’s “Kissing You,” SES’s hit “I Love You” and So Chan-whee’s “Tears.” Last but not least, DIA’s latest song, “Somehow,” marked the finale of their karaoke time.

Junho from 2PM appeared briefly on V with his third episode of “A Man Reading Comments.”

He introduced a question left by one of his fans. The question read: “What are some of the things that make girls fall in love?” They were, according to Junho, when a guy uses correct grammar in speech and is a good dancer. Junho said he does not really dance on stage for his latest song, “Fire,” but hopes his fans enjoy even his little moves and gestures.

Daesung from Big Bang was last in line among Big Bang members to go live on V one by one this month. His hour-long broadcast, titled “Safe Returning Home Service,” was all about taking a fan back to her house safely, sharing a lot of fun together with her.

Daesung appeared standing in front of the bus station waiting for the fan. The 21-year-old college student was said to return to her home late at night every day, passing through narrow streets in the dark, which often scares her, leading her to ask for help.

As Daesung met the fan, he asked her to introduce herself. She introduced herself as a big fan of Big Bang.

They walked together and talked about several topics along the way to her house.

Daesung commented, “These kind of lights and narrow streets reminded me of the time when I had not yet debuted but was practicing. Returning home also scared me because it was so dark and nobody was there.”

But he also mentioned some of the advantages of walking in narrow streets.

“No one knows even if I sing while walking in narrow streets,” said Daesung.

Daesung asked for any dance move she knows. She said she knows Bang Bang Bang’s choreography and upon request she danced along to a song Daesung sang.

They stopped by a convenience store, picking out a bunch of snacks including chips and ice cream. They sat on a chair outside the store, chowing down on the ice cream.

Almost reaching her destination, they faced a huge stairway, where he carried her on his back up the stairs.

At last, they were home. Before parting, he delivered gifts to her. The gifts included a variety of self-protection gear to help her protect herself along the way to her house every night in the darkness.

They shouted words of encouragement, “V app fighting, Big Bang fighting and So-hyun (the name of Daesung’s fan) fighting,” to conclude the broadcast.
