Jungkook of BTS aired a live V broadcast, Friday, after the fan event held in Yokohama, Japan.

"Aren't I quiet today? I think adding on years makes me calmer," the 20-year-old said from inside his hotel room.

Jungkook opened a Japanese boxed meal.

"This isn't a late night snack. This is my dinner, I didn't eat much before going in to the concert because I didn't feel so hungry. I think I won't finish all of this either," Jungkook said.

"I'm sorry I can't read much English," the star apologized to international fans leaving comments in English. "RM would have been able to read all these, wouldn't he?

Jungkook expressed regrets about his performance for the day and how it would be passed on in DVD format.

"Today, I wasn't in my best condition. My singing, dancing, talking and facial expression...everything I did, I felt like they weren't the best I could do. I'm sorry to the ARMYs who came today to the show. I need to do better tomorrow," Jungkook said, mentioning BTS' fan club ARMY.

Fans watching Jungkook's live broadcast left comments that if he performs even better they would all suffer heart problems.

Jungkook's candid broadcast lasted for just over an hour.

Hwang Chi-yeul shared his arrival in Macao on V, Friday.

"I arrived well, everyone," Hwang said from his hotel room.

"There's no fine dust, I think, but the weather is a bit overcast. Why does it rain every time I have a concert?" Hwang said to the fans.

"Why is it that it rains every time when I have concerts?" Hwang went over to his manager to ask, and discovered him crouching on the hotel room floor to avoid the camera.

"Why are you sitting on the floor like this, when there's a really nice sofa over here?" Hwang teased the manager, offering him the better seat but finding it hilarious that the manager would rather stay on the ground covered under a coat to hide from the broadcast.

"Thank you for coming to the concert. I recognized some of you at the airport. I remember my fans who come often to my concert," Hwang said.

"I prepared hard for the concert. Please look forward to it," he said.

Hwang is to hold a fan event at Macao's The Venetian Theatre on Saturday at 8 p.m. Hwang is slated to release his new album “Be Myself” and showcase it on Tuesday.

GFriend was in Japan for KCON. The group shared some behind-the-scenes footage from the green room and the rehearsals on V, Friday.

Sowon was the first to appear in the broadcast from the green room to tell the viewers what the group was up to.

"Today's concept is the purple glitter on my eyes. You know, because this year's color is ultraviolet," Sowon said.

Yerin said, "Last time we were here we wore white sailor clothes. This time we're dressed more mature."

"My hair's longer than the last time I was here. With longer hair I can wear longer earrings!" said Eunha.

Umji mentioned this is GFriend's second time to KCON Japan and that she and Eunha are doing special emceeing.

The GFriend singers had Japanese dessert cakes backstage and relayed their nervousness and excitement for the performance in Japan
