Wishing fans a blessed Lunar New Year on Naver V app’s Wednesday lineup were the members of B1A4, who decided to host a special cooking episode in honor of the holiday season.

“When you think about the Lunar New Year, what type of foods pop into your minds?” asked the members.

“Rice cake soup, beef, barbecue, pasta!” they shouted out in turns.

With a pristine, fully equipped kitchen next to a table that was set with a simple gas burner, the idol stars decided on a game of rock-paper-scissors to determine which team would be cooking in the nice kitchen.

Originally deciding on rice cake soup, but not wanting all the fine-cut beef slices to go to waste, the members decided to switch up their game plan.

“Look at you cooking all this meat, it’s supposed to be rice cake soup,” said one of the members.

“I’ve decided to change the recipe to beef stew instead,” another member replied with a smile.

In less than 30 minutes, the megastars managed to rack up more than 1.2 million hearts for the episode.


Also ushering in a happy midweek was the much-welcomed return of the hallyu kings of JYJ, with its clip titled “Pointless Games.”

Kicking off their leisurely episode of fun and games, Jun-su, Jae-joong and Yoo-chun decided to battle it out old-school style, playing a round of Jenga.

Trying to test the limits of one another’s gaming skills, the men took their competition seriously,

“Please fall, please fall!” Jun-su shouted with praying motions, hoping that his Jenga maneuver was enough to stump Yoo-chun.

After their round of Jenga, the stars then moved on to a game of thigh wrestling. In an attempt to fake out Yoo-chun, Jun-su began screeching at the top of his lungs, causing the trio to burst out in laughter.

“I have a better idea,” said Yoo-chun. “Let’s just clean the house.”


The sexy ladies of 4minute also graced yesterday’s star-filled V app lineup. Recently returning to the spotlight with their latest album release “Act. 7,” the members of 4minute took time out to give a quick shout out to V app fans backstage prior to their latest broadcast TV appearance.

Wrapped in blankets, the members spent some time with fans in the waiting room, giving fans a sneak peek at what’s to come.

“Our upcoming performance is going to be great and you will be able to see that the main focal point of our act is going to be, ‘twist,’” the members revealed.


Also on Wednesday’s V app lineup was Seung-ah of Rainbow, who learned how to make her own jewelry, as well as yet another video teaser clip from SM Entertainment’s much-awaited new boy band, NCT.

Naver’s real-time broadcasting app V allows fans to interact with their favorite K-pop stars through live broadcasts. The app is available for Android and iOS. For more information, visit www.vlive.tv.
