Kicking off Sunday’s V-app lineup were the faces of one of the biggest names in the K-pop industry -- EXO.

Racking up a whopping 34.4 million hearts and around 2.5 million comments, the three members of EXO blasted Mariah Carey’s “All I want for Christmas” taking the V app fans along with them on a car ride.

“The subject of today’s broadcast is winter,” said the members as they proceeded to blast more holiday tunes.

The idol stars discussed some of their favorite winter foods while sharing their excitement counting down to the release of their new album, revealing some of their personal favorite tracks.

“The winter album’s first track, ‘Sing for you,’ is one of my favorites,” said one member. “I think it is a smooth song that’s great to listen to while you’re just laying down.”

The members also sang along and danced to the group’s latest Star Wars collaboration project single, “Lightsaber.”


Block B rap star Zico also joined Sunday’s V-app lineup, talking about his first solo EP, “Gallery,” which dropped today.

“My new mini-album ‘Gallery’ is going to be released online soon, but I have a very special broadcast in store for you guys today,” said Zico. “For the first time ever, I will be unveiling my new songs before its release date.”

Zico played and sang along to snippets of his new six-track EP, including the tracks “Yes or No,” “Boys and Girls,” as well as visuals from the rap star’s “Veni Vidi Vici” music video. The star also invited a couple of special guests to the broadcast, including Babylon, one of the album’s featured hip-hop guest.


The ladies of Lovelyz have also joined the new music bandwagon, gearing up for their return to the limelight with the girl group’s new three-track EP, “Lovelinus.”

Due to scheduling conflicts with three of the members, the ladies of Lovelyz started off their broadcast with only five of the eight ladies, while the remaining three starlets joined in about half-way through their 50-minute time slot.

The rookie girl group spent much of the time reading and answering fan comments and talking about what fans can expect from the act’s latest music.

“The one word I would use to describe our album is, ‘healing,’” said one of the members, as the rest of the ladies chimed in agreement.
“I think listening to this album will really help give people encouragement and strength,” she added.


Also on Sunday’s V-app lineup were the members of Beast, who greeted V app fans backstage at the group’s Shanghai concert, as well as the popular model Lee Ho-jung.
