Kicking off Saturday’s Naver V app weekend lineup were the mega rookie idols stars of Winner, who logged in from Japan to greet fans.

No stranger to the V app lineup, the stars returned with a very laidback episode, relaxing in the comfort of their hotel room, munching on some local Japanese delicacies.

“Let us see Minho’s review of the takoyaki,” said leader Seung-hoon, in an episode that racked up nearly half a million hearts.

“Oh man, that was so boring,” he added, disappointed with Minho’s lackluster reaction to the snacks, despite his breaking into dance.

All eyes then moved to leader Seung-hoon, who was challenged to provide viewers with a more entertaining reaction.

“Don’t burden me,” he said, only to then, in the most comedic of fashions, nearly burn his mouth eating the piping hot takoyaki.

T-ara member Hyomin ventured out on a solo fan meeting on Saturday’s V app lineup, the star’s first fan meet since debuting as a solo singer.

In attendance in the small outdoor meeting were a handful of both local, Japanese and Vietnamese fans who came out to congratulate the starlet on her new solo pursuits.

With a mini-megaphone, Hyomin thanked all the fans who had gathered to cheer her on.

“I’m just finishing my album promotions and TV appearances, and although all of this is taking a toll on my body, I feel very blessed and I thank you all for your support,” she said.

Hyomin went on to make a number of lucky fans gush in awe as she went around personally greeting and high-fiving select super fans.

The rookie idols of Monsta X went on to shower the V app’s weekend lineup uploading five behind-the-scenes episodes.

Each clip gave a little backstage glimpse of the members during their first fan meeting in Singapore. The shouts and screams of excited Singaporean fans dominated the background noise as the members sauntered out onto the stage and went on to perform.

“Right now we are in Singapore and we spent a lot of time preparing for our show, where we are planning to perform five songs,” said the members. “But we hope that we will be able to return to Korea soon and perform again for all you guys back home.”

In the car ride back to the member’s hotel, the up-and-coming stars went on to serenade their V app fans in a more intimate atmosphere, including singing along to EXO’s “Love me Right.”
