YG’s quintet WINNER, fresh from the release of a new album, went live on Naver’s V app without notice on Tuesday.

Leader Kang Seung-yoon said, “Hi. We came here to surprise you. Today, we practiced choreography hard to meet you on Thursday.”

The boy group, which dropped its mini album titled “EXIT:E” on Monday, is scheduled to have its first comeback stage on Mnet’s “M Countdown.”

They wrapped up the show saying, “We are going to meet you more often on Naver’s V.”

“We will visit you without notice like today. Please wait for us eagerly,” Kang added.

Gyujin from boy band UP10TION, which debuted with single “So, Dangerous” in September, showed up alone on the live-streaming app.

“Hi. I am here to answer all your questions about our members,” he said and read the online messages their fans left.

Asked about the name of their fan club, he said, “Oh. That has not been confirmed yet. Please wait just for a while and we will let you know soon.”

When another fan asked how he judges his looks, he said beaming, “I think I am the second most handsome in my group. I thank my parents.”

Gyujin was also asked how he feels about turning 20, and replied, “I feel much freer because I can get my own digital certificates on my smartphone (instead using my parents’) to play games.”

Rainbow’s Jaekyung hosted a show alone at her home to make a gift for Valentine’s Day.

Wearing a white see-through shirt over a black sleeveless top, she looked excited.

“Today, I am going to make a gift for people I love because Valentine’s Day is coming,” she said.

Preparing cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, beeswax and cocoa powder, Jaekyung said, “I am going to make lip-balm with chocolate flavor.”

While making the lip-balm, she chatted with her fans live.

When a fan asked how she views actress Han Ye-seul, who stars in TV series “Madame Antoine,” in which Jaekyung also appears, she said, “I am jealous of her because she is so pretty and lovely.”

Rookie boy group KNK showed up on the live-streaming show, looking a bit nervous yet excited. After introducing themselves to viewers, Member Jihoon said, “We came here to shoot for our album cover. This is fun yet difficult. It seems we should be more prepared.”

Insung said, “Please show your interest and affection for us. We will work harder too.”

When a fan left a message that it was her birthday that day, they celebrated by singing a birthday song.
