First-generation K-pop boy band Sechs Kies released a teaser clip for “Heartbreak,” one of the tracks from the group’s upcoming album “2016 Re-Album.”

The short video features Kang Sung-hoon sharing an intimate moment with an unidentified woman, holding hands and laying together.

A remake of the group’s hit track from the 1990’s, the new version of “Heartbreak” was created in collaboration with producers from the K-pop powerhouse YG Entertainment. The fresh take on the song boasts slower beats with jazz-inspired tunes.

Meanwhile, the 10-track album “2016 Re-Album” will be released on major local sites starting from Nov. 30 at midnight.

Member Kim Tae-hyung -- better known by his stage name V -- of the boy band BTS shared one of his hidden talents with his fans on Naver V Live.

Settled in his bed, he shared his own version of characters from “Pingu,” a popular kids animation series about a family of penguins living at the South Pole.

While covering the lens of the camera, V imitated the voices of the character Pingu and his parents.

The singer concluded the clip with sounds of Pingu eating fish.

Meanwhile, BTS has been enjoying popularity at home and abroad with its latest full-studio album “Wings” and its lead track “Blood Sweat & Tears.”

Astro

Rookie K-pop boy band Astro took to Naver V Live to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the photo shoot for the cover of the group’s third EP “Autumn Story,” which was released on Nov. 10.

The final photo only shows the six members’ faces stacked on top of each other, peaking from behind a doorway.

While everyone tries to maintain a smile for the camera, the group’s pose is not as simple or pleasant as it appears.

While the photographer tries to provide the members with words of encouragement, Rocky has a hard time keeping a straight face.

“Wait a minute, this is really painful,” he exclaimed, laughing. “Let’s take a break.”

MJ, who is placed at the very bottom of the stack, appears to be at most ease.

“He is just laying on the ground,” says member Jin Jin.

It concludes with clips from various takes, with the group laughing and cheering.

“This was a great shoot, and everybody worked very hard,” said Jin Jin.
