Members of 2PM gathered Monday to celebrate the launch of the solo album “Mr. No” by member Jun. K.

Jun. K had performed live the songs from his new album on three major Korean music TV programs -- “Inkigayo,” “Show! Music Core” and “Music Bank.”

During the V app broadcast, 2PM members watched the music video for the song “Think About You,” which features lyrics from the perspective of a man who has difficulties letting go his memories of a woman.

Jun. K explained how he felt about the song and the music video.

“Here, the man is saying that he cannot erase her from his memories and he wonders if she feels the same way at all.”

“I love the LED screen works in this production,” Jun. K said. He said that he had closely watched his diet to shoot for the music video, in which he danced topless. Seemingly letting himself go now, Jun. K snacked on popcorn throughout the V show.

Member Chansung complimented Jun. K saying, “No one but you would be able to pull off this kind of feel.”

Member Ok Taekyeon, who was not present for the V app, actively supported Jun. K over social media including US live video-streaming platform Periscope, prompting Jun. K to jokingly call him a representative from a PR firm.

HyunA
HyunA, a former member of girl group 4Minute, had black bean sauce noodles, or “jjajangmyeon” with fans after emerging top on the music programs “M countdown” and “Inkigayo.”

“I hear this place in Bangbae-dong serves really good black bean noodle,” said HyunA while heading to the area in Gangnam, Seoul, where fans were awaiting her arrival.

Some of the fans watching HyunA on V said they were also having the same dish for lunch.

HyunA thanked V fans for their support and said, “I will take these recent wins as a sign from you that you want me to work harder.” She sang a few lines from her song “Freaky,” upon requests from them.

The roads were lined with Korea’s national flag marking Liberation Day on Aug. 15.

HyunA turned the camera around to show fans the flags before finally arriving at her destination, where directors from her upcoming reality TV program “HyunA’s X-19” were on standby.

“HyunA’s X-19” reality show premieres Tuesday at 6 p.m. on channel MBC Everyone.
