The bandmates of Tomorrow X Together shared their reactions to the second teaser for “Can’t You See Me?” the lead single from their forthcoming second EP, “The Dream Chapter: Eternity.”

Asking fans if they had seen the clip, Taehyun told viewers that “Soobin and Hueningkai haven’t seen it yet,” and that they would watch it together during the livestream.

“I’ve saved it for this segment,” protested Soobin, “Don‘t you understand that I want to share the first moment with MoA?” MoA is the name of the group’s fandom.

Hueningkai cracked up as soon as the teaser trailer started and Yeonjun told him to concentrate, but at the scene in which they flex their neck muscles, all of them burst out laughing.

“How did you like it?” asked Taehyun again, adding that fans’ opinions matter more than theirs.

“Just don‘t stop the video at the ‘neck’ part, although it is funny to freeze it and watch,” said Soobin.

Taeil, Yuta, Mark and Jungwoo of NCT 127 took to V Live hungry for fans’ thoughts on the stream of teasers and hints for their soon-to-be-released album.

There are so many things happening, they said, including the teaser trailer for “Nonstop,” a new song, and the first episode of their own talk show content titled “Late Night Punch Punch Show,” which had come out hours before.

“We were tinkering with the camera while shooting ‘Nonstop’ (music video) and Jungwoo began talking like a talk show host, like James Corden,” explained Mark. The head of their video content team saw the clip in which Jungwoo talked with each bandmate and turned it into a proper segment the next week, he said.

The four agreed they were surprised at how good it turned out and Jungwoo admitted he did not expect the idea to lead to such nice results.

They also talked about their constant stream of hints and spoilers.

“We have shown some of our new choreography yesterday via YouTube Live, something we‘ve never done before,” said Mark.

“I think it had piqued anticipation of our fans,” said Yuta.

The bandmates of Ateez had fun setting up a tent in their studio and enjoying food.

“Many of us are staying home, but the weather is too nice to forgo camping, so we‘ve brought a tent here,” said Kim Hongjoong.

Park Seonghwa, as the day’s co-host with Kim, came out from the tent and was about to show his enthusiasm, but was met with protests when he stepped onto the picnic mat with his shoes on.

“Hey, you‘re supposed to take your shoes off! There’s food here!” they said, crying out that he‘d better not touch the chicken with a shoe.

While enjoying the food, the eight-piece act talked about what they did for last week’s Parents’ Day as well as some memories.

The leader recalled how he sent a bouquet of flowers to his parents with the name of the company when he was a trainee so as to make them proud. Choi Jongho talked about how he felt proud himself when he got to give them some of the money he has made so far, “like your first paycheck.”

Young K, Wonpil and Dowoon of DAY6 discussed their new music and unboxed the CDs.

They first expressed their gratitude for fans understanding the decision to suspend group activities to promote their sixth EP, “The Book of Us: The Demon,” due to anxiety issues. The trio thanked fans on behalf of Sungjin and Jae as well.

“We were deeply moved by the warm responses from you,” said Wonpil.

The musicians watched the music video of “Zombie,” the lead track from the EP, after thanking fans for putting it at the top of a number of charts at home and abroad.

“Many of you could have noticed, but each of our scenes have these,” said Young K, showing their plush dolls.

They also unboxed two different versions -- “Midday” and “Midnight” -- of the EP. Young K unwrapped the cover to show large photographs of each of the bandmates on the back, Sungjin and Wonpil were surprised.
