Eric Nam EP showcase

Eric Nam (Naver V App)

Eric Nam appeared on the V App with a showcase of his second EP, “Interview,” at Hongdae, Seoul, on Wednesday.

While rehearsing, he told viewers how nervous he was. He said, “I’ve never done a showcase before, never in my life.”

He promoted his new album that was to be released at midnight on the same day.

During the showcase, he wore a bright coral sweater and sang the EP’s title track “Good for you.”

“I prepared and waited to make a comeback as a singer for two years. My heart is full tonight,” Nam said, choking back tears while presenting two of his songs.

His close friends Amber of girl group f(X) and Ji-min of AOA also appeared at the showcase. They told the audience about how Eric acts crazy for fun and how he is also very warm and charming.


GOT7

GOT7 (Naver V App)

GOT7 has released their first clip on the V App, featuring the group feasting on meat.

The video started off with Junior and Jackson in a moving car talking about their favorite cuts of meat.

Junior revealed that he likes grilled pork neck. Jackson interrupted by saying, “You shouldn’t eat more than 50,000 won worth of meat, that’s all the money I’ve got,”

As the conversation went on he also said, “That’s weird, why should I pay for the meal?”

When all the band’s members had gathered at the barbeque restaurant, they started to talk about their trainee lives before their debut.

“I always arrived at work at 10 a.m. with Bambam and Jackson and nobody would be there.” said Mark.

The conversation eventually turned to friendships. Junior said, “While I was experiencing a slump, Yu-gyeom would listen to me as he is a quiet person. I felt really thankful.”

As they spoke about the friendship they shared, GOT7 members also fed one another pork wrapped in lettuce leaves, showing their affection.

At the end of the broadcast, the seven-member group gave a toast with soft drinks.


Min-A of Girl’s Day

Min-A of Girl's Day (Naver V App)

Min-A of girl group Girl’s Day greeted her fans via the V App on Monday while on her way home in a car.

As she tried to read viewers’ comments, she said that it is sometimes hard to follow up with all of them.

“I have a hoarse throat today, but I will still talk about my personal taste. I don’t have a driver’s license or a car, but I like to tag along with friends who can drive,” she started.

“That’s right, though I don’t have a driver’s license, I can drive an excavator,” she said while reading one of the comments.

Min-A also asked viewers about their new year’s resolutions. “For me, I wished for a healthy year, but I got the flu,” she said.

She also mentioned that she prefers to make heart-shaped gestures with her arms instead of just her thumb and index finger.
