Hip-hop boyband BTS’ J-Hope opened the band’s broadcast of the day with weird, yet excited noises.

“Will a lot of people show up if I show the beautiful scenery around me?”

Member Jimin also popped into the frame and greeted fans, waving his hand.

“It’s a great day today and we’d like to receive recommendations for our dinner. By the way, we had Korean barbecue last night.”

When fans recommended Korean food for dinner, J-Hope added that they were currently in Scandinavia, so he wanted to eat something different.

“It’s going to be barbecue again, I guess,” Jimin said.

“It’s interesting because it never gets completely dark here at night due to the midnight sun.”

The duo also revealed their desire to travel around the world more often.

They noticed a comment on the chatbox mentioning their “Running Man” appearance, and J-Hope said, “It was our first appearance with all seven members on such a television show.”

They wrapped up the V app broadcast filming the beautiful lake in the background, adding that they have to go grocery shopping for dinner after meeting the rest of the members .

Boyband NCT started their tour in Seoul with new members who flew in from China as new additions to the team. They divided themselves into two teams and moved in separate vans.

Japanese-born member Yuta confessed he had never visited Mount Fuji and Taeyong replied he too never visited Mount Namsan.
“I don’t really know a lot about Japan,” said Yuta jokingly.

Their first destination was Itaewon and the members tried the local street food. They all scarfed down on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Member Winwin exclaimed, “It’s really beautiful here!”

Next, they briefly played a game with the winning team receiving a card with a note.

Girl group April celebrated member Yena’s birthday during a fan-meeting event. When the fans screamed out their names, the girls worried for their sore throats.

However, the fans sang happy birthday loudly.

“I’m sorry I can’t express this in a better way,” said Yena. “This is my first birthday party after debut and I think it will be the most memorable, thank you.”

The members wrapped up the event with a performance of their recent single.
