Project girl group WJMK communicated with its fans in a “LieV” broadcast held via Naver’s V app Friday.

A “LieV” is a broadcast that celebrities host while lying down.

In the broadcast, the four WJMK bandmates talked about their worries when they first got together.

“As I’m the oldest in the group, I was worried a lot about how I should start conversations and how I should make others feel comfortable but now we’ve become comfortable with each other,” Seola said.

“We met for the first time when we were recording but we didn’t say a word,” she said. “I said I was going to get Doyeon’s phone number but I couldn’t even see her face but now we got a group chat and Yoojung and Luda even went out together.”

They said they are the type of people who are shy at first, but now they can hold a broadcast while lying down ? proving how close they are.

WJMK consists of Seola and Luda of girl group WJSN and Yoojung and Doyeon of girl group Weki Meki. It released its single “Strong” Friday.

The 13-piece act WJSN, also widely known as Cosmic Girls, debuted in 2016 with the EP “Would You Like?” Weki Meki debuted in August last year as an eight-piece act with the EP “WEME,” fronted by the lead track “I Don’t Like Your Girlfriend.”
