He went to bed early the night before and slept well, said the singer, who looked comfortable in his bed.

The concert went well, and he was deeply moved by the enthusiasm shown by fans, he added, referring to the previous day’s performance in Amsterdam, the first concert of the European leg of the band’s tour.

JB admitted that his eyes stung when he got his nose pierced about a week ago.

“I fully understand that you are worried about this leaving a permanent mark but I believe that one should give it a try if one wants to. Please tolerate,” he told his fans. As for getting a tattoo, he is being more cautious, as he does not want to rush into anything.

Asked for hints about the band’s return, he said no firmly, “Sorry but it is an absolute secret.”

Felix, Changbin, Seungmin and I.N took to V Live on their way to perform at Naver’s Vanilla Stage.

“We are on our way to meet you, lovely Stays!” shouted Felix addressing the band’s official fan community.

Felix was all hyped up, said Changbin. Felix blamed it on the sip of coffee he stole from Seungmin.

Changbin said it was not easy to livestream holding the camera, which he did for his last solo V Live. He was touched when Seungmin told him it was nice to see him up close.

“We are taking a break, helping ourselves to snacks after a rehearsal,” said Seungmin in the next live segment.

Hyunjin told fans to dress warmly when coming to see them, as the weather has turned cold.

However, Changbin said there was no need, prompting Hyunjin to ask, “You are going to say that the atmosphere will be hot, right?”

Super Junior changes mind about lead track

Super Junior had mixed feelings about which song to choose as the lead track for its upcoming album.

“What am I supposed to do?” said Leeteuk when he realized that he had to rap a part for “Fire,” one of the two candidates for the lead track.

“I haven’t rapped since ‘Mr. Simple,’” the band’s 2011 album, he said, rubbing his face nervously.

“I used to be good at it when I was a trainee,” he added, boasting that he was good at raps from the 1990s.

But after rapping for a few seconds, he gave up, covering his red face.

After quite a number of tries, the leader wrapped up the recording. He was delighted to see Siwon cracking jokes about the latter’s cycling pants. Siwon, in turn, said he enjoyed listening to Leeteuk’s rap.

Siwon’s part went smoothly. He agreed with Sindong, who came early to the recording studio, how different the song was when sung by the bandmates in Korean.

“For some reason, when I sing, all songs kind of lose its hipness,” said Sindong, admitting that he was not satisfied with his initial first pick.

Wearing a shoulder-baring dress encrusted with rhinestones, she nodded upon hearing the director’s instructions and began acting for her solo scenes set in a mysterious forest. She assured staff that she was OK with the heavy dress.

Mina looked relaxed talking to staff between takes and did a happy dance when the director signaled that the takes were OK.

“I am supposed to wander in the woods, kind of lost like Alice, and run into Chaeyoung,” she explained.

Chaeyoung and Mina held hands and entered a set together. They laughed when someone commented that they looked like a bride and groom.

Chaeyoung, in a shiny bra top and long pants, accepted the role of groom, helping the bandmate with her long dress.
