Momoland

(Naver V app)

Seven-member rookie group Momoland attempted the Mannequin Challenge in a Monday V app broadcast, with the theme reminding viewers of Girls’ Generation’s 2009 video for “Gee.”

The clip started with the Momoland girls standing completely still while a man, pretending to be a shopkeeper, swept the floor around them and disappeared through a back door.

Once left by themselves -- as if a switch had suddenly been turned on -- the girls launch into a synchronized dance before freezing again.

The bit resembled Girls’ Generation’s 2009 song “Gee,” back when the group had nine members.

The music video for “Gee” portrayed the Girls’ Generation members as mannequins in a shop window who come to life after the shop closes.




BTS’s Taehyung and Jimin

(Naver V app)

“V PICK!” channel on Monday released a short clip of BTS’ Taehyung and Jimin playing around with the special effects of the V app camera.

The clip was apparently originally planned as Taehyung’s independent broadcast, but Jimin began trying out the camera filters.

Then when Taehyung demands that he return the mobile phone, Jimin hands it without turning off the special effects.

For several minutes Taehyung does not realize that while he thinks he’s playing it cool for the camera he has a bird flying in and out of his nose.


Twice
Nine-member group Twice on Monday aired a clip taken from the 2016 Asia Artist Awards’ green room and red carpet.

2016 AAA took place on Nov. 16 at Grand Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University, Seoul.

Twice received the Best Artist Award, while BTS and actors Park Shin-hye and Park Hae-jin were also winners on the night.

Member Jeongyeon started the V video. “We’re waiting to go on the red carpet,” she said.

The excited girls chatted about their glittery white outfits and hair.

Momo and Jihyo apparently think they look alike. “Sometimes I zoom in on a photo thinking it’s me and realize it’s Momo,” Jihyo said.
Then Momo and Tzuyu quarreled over who should get the ‘princess’ title. Jeongyeon implied Tzuyu could take the title of ‘goddess’ instead.

This clip was taken a day before the yearly national scholastic exam, known as Suneung in Korea. Twice member Dahyun took the test this year.
