Kicking off this week’s Monday Naver V app line-up was none other than popular British pop star Corinne Bailey Rae greeting local fans prior to her Seoul concert.

In a 15-minute-long episode, Rae interacted with both local and international fans, answering questions regarding her upcoming concert as well as her thoughts about Korea.

“What songs do you guys want to hear at the show? That’s one question I’d like to ask you,” says Rae. “I also like to see if you guys have any tourists sightseeing recommendations, I haven’t been here since April. And in April I went to this huge Buddhist temple, it was on Buddha birthday so it was full of lanterns and excitement.”

Rae also went on to reveal what local Korean celebrity will be attending her Seoul concert on Tuesday.

“Have I met any Korean singers? Yeah I’ve met IU, who I love and she’s coming to the show,” she said. “We were just having an exchange on Twitter a few days ago so I can’t wait to see her.”

“What do I think of Korea so far? I love it here, I always have such a good time here. I think this is my fourth or fifth time back and I always love it,” Rae continued. “I love the people, they’re really friendly. I love the food, I love to travel around and see temples and people and interacting with mystical things and spiritual things are part of their everyday lives so that’s always a really cool thing to see.”


Also on Monday’s Naver V app was Mark of Got7 showing off some of his cooking skills.

“Hey guys, today will be Mark’s solo episode,” the idol star said sitting in front of a small gas stove, kicking off his show.

“Today, I am going to be cooking!” he exclaimed. “It’s what you all have been asking for. The day before yesterday I appeared on an eating program and today … I actually don’t know exactly how this meal is supposed to be prepared, but nevertheless I will be making kimchi fried rice. It’s a very simple dish, but I have actually never really learned how to make it.”

The pop star went on to whip up his take on the classic Korean dish alongside fellow Got7 member Bam, who joined in on the episode.


The Monday line-up also featured a clip from S.M. Entertainment’s latest rookie group NCT, in the group’s hansik (Korean food) promotional cooking episode, as well as the JYP ladies of Twice, posting teaser clips of the group’s upcoming “TT” music video.
