AOA

(Naver V app)

Girl group AOA revealed behind-the-scene stories from the filming of the music video for “Bingle Bangle” during a live showcase event via Naver’s V app Monday.

When asked about a memorable incident that happened during the filming, Seolhyun said, “I fell down while roller-skating.”

“Well, the fans will worry if they hear this…,” she hesitated but soon resumed talking, “We could not use the scene but fortunately we got many good scenes before that. I felt sorry to my bandmates.”

When asked who made the most mistakes while filming, Jimin pointed out Mina saying, “I’m not sure about the number of mistakes but wasn’t Mina the last one to finish the filming?” Hearing that, Mina laughed bashfully.

The new album will mark the group’s return in 1 1/2 years, though as a six-member act. Following their latest album release in January 2017, its member ChoA dropped out of the group.

AOA debuted in August 2012 as an eight-member girl band that consisted of Choa, Jimin, Yuna, Youkyung, Chanmi, Hyejeong, Seol-hyun, and Mina.

Pristin V

(Naver V app)

The members of Pristin V, the first subunit of girl group Pristin, revealed the variety shows they would like to appear during a showcase event for its first single “Like a V” via Naver’s V app Monday.

During the event, Nayoung showed her wish to appear on SBS’ variety show “Running Man.”

Roa, who said she would like to appear on JTBC’s variety show “Knowing Bros,” sent a video message to its host Seo Jang-hoon.

Rena said she would like to appear on food shows. When asked what kind of food she likes, she said, “Meat only. I don’t even have rice when I’m eating meat.”

Fronted by the lead track “Get It,” the album “Like a V” also includes “Spotlight,” a deep-house track that boasts rhythmical base line.

Pristin, consisting of former members of now-defunct project girl group I.O.I, debuted in March last year with the EP “Hi! Pristin.” The 10-piece band received the rookie award last year at the Asia Artist Awards and the best female artist award at the Mnet Asian Music Awards.

K-pop rookie boy bands O.O.O and Se So Neon wrapped up their episodes of “Hidden Track No.V” in a live concert via Naver’s V app Monday.

For recent two months, iKon has hosted the V app series which sees established singers, called “Key Man,” introduce rookie singers, referred to as “Locker.”

When asked how they have changed after the “Hidden Track” project, the O.O.O bandmates suggested that thanks to the popularity they gained through the show, they held solo concert on May 5 and performed on various festivals.

The rookie band also said that thanks to their “Key Man” iKon, they learned about the broadcasting field saying that they “trembled all over at first but thanks to iKon (they) learned how to relax.”

“It felt grateful (during the two months) as we were praised a lot and got many good piece of advices. We did learn a lot. We made good memories during the two months,” O.O.O member Jang Yong-ho said.

Band Se So Neon also said it was an honor to work with iKon. “It felt new to meet people of difficult access for eight weeks. It felt as if we got new inspiration,” Hwang So-yoon said.

“Though it lasted for a short time, it was fun while working,” Moon Pansy said.
