The 2016 MTV European Music Awards winner B.A.P dropped their second album, “Noir,” Sunday at midnight, streaming live via Naver’s V app ahead of the release.

Yongguk, Himchan, Daehyun, Youngjae, Jongup and Zelo appeared on the live broadcast ahead of the official release of lead track “Skydive,” showcasing new tracks on the album.

Himchan announced: “We are finally back again with the second album. All of us have been bent on producing the tracks for the upcoming album and each of the tracks is so meaningful, as it contains our passion and love.”

“If you watch the music video, you will find it more like a blockbuster movie than just a music video. Check it out,” he added.

Yongjae asked the rest of the band to share some of their best tracks from the previous album.

In response, Daehyun told viewers: “It’s really hard to pick just one because all the tracks were something of a new style and produced with our great devotion, so they are all our favorites. But if I really have to pick one of them, it would be ‘I Guess I Need You.’”

He also shared some behind-the-scene episodes while filming the music video.

“There were a lot of scenes pointing a gun, but it was really heavy. I’d get a headache every time it was pointed at my head.”

The band also performed a part of “Skydive” on stage and explained some of the dancing moves.

“Here, what makes it more unique is the dancing in the last part of the track. We keep jumping up and down, like smacking down something really hard and getting back up again to the air.”

Fans who were watching the live broadcast also threw out interesting questions to their idols.

Among them, a question from a fan asking the group, “What would you do for fans if B.A.P tops music charts with their upcoming album,” caught their eyes.

“It’s getting cold outside, so I would spend time with you guys having hot eomuk (sticks of fish cake). And of course, the bill’s on me,” Daehyun said.

Twice

(Naver V app)

Twice, JYP Entertainment’s leading K-pop girl group, appeared on a live broadcast via Naver’s V app on Sunday to reveal their funniest facial expressions never shown on TV before.

During the broadcast, the group’s Dahyun, Jihyo and Nayeon exchanged different looks for different occasions for the viewers and fans.

To begin with, Jihyo explained how she looks when she gets angry. She started making faces, asking angrily “Are you crazy?” to add drama to her expression.

Her angry look drew laughter from the rest of the band. Nayeon jokingly said the look was “her normal expression,” with Dahyun weighing in saying, “I see that look a lot.”

DaHyun, on the other hand, sighs deeply when she gets angry, according to Jihyo.

The nine-member act has recently set new records for its most anticipated mini album “TWICEcoaster: LANE 1,” and has so far sold more than 165,000 copies since it was released on Oct. 24, according to Gaon Music Chart.
