Four members of Enhyphen talked about the profile pictures that came out recently.

Introducing themselves as a unit, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunwoo and Jeongwon first thanked viewers for watching their previous livestream.

“Even though it was our first time on V Live, so many of you watched it and we were so moved,” they said, bringing their hands together and bowing to express gratitude.

Their profile pictures had been rolled out two days earlier and many people shared them on social media, which was touching, said Sunwoo, admitting that was the first time they’d really seen them.

The four took an up-close look at the photographs on an iPad and said they’d been shot in advance.

“There were three trials,” Jake said, explaining why his hair was longer in the picture they were examining. “And the final cut was taken after the first part” of the audition program.

NCT gets fans worked up with teaser

(Naver's V Live)

Fans of NCT were treated to a visual feast as the band floated a clip titled “NCT 2020 Year Party” and revealed all 23 of its members, including two who were only known by their names -- Shotaro and Sungchan.

For close to three minutes, dressed up in navy and powder blue suits, each and every member of the umbrella group that encompasses NCT 127, NCT Dream, NCT U and WayV swaggers around and gazes into the camera.

Shotaro places a palm-sized chip on what looks like a cybernetic table and all his bandmates join him at a big, round table. Then the camera zooms in on Taeyong, the last to sit down, in the center, with his bandmates sitting in rows on bleachers nearby.

The megaband will livestream all together for the first time on Naver’s V Live Wednesday. Its studio album “NCT 2020: Resonance Pt. 1” will go on sale Oct. 12.

Stray Kids' Seungmin marks birthday

Seungmin of Stray Kids went live to celebrate his birthday together with viewers.

“I wanted to talk to you before the birthday ended,” he said, thanking fans for sending so many congratulatory messages while he was meeting them online via video calls earlier that day.

He’d had “miyeokguk,” a seaweed soup Koreans have on their birthdays, he assured them. He’d received presents from his bandmates but if he had to pick the most memorable birthday gift, it would be the cake Felix made for him the previous year.

“I was so touched,” he went on. “The elevator opened and there it was.”

Han called him in the middle of the live broadcast and asked viewers to wish Seungmin a happy birthday. Then he urged Seungmin to stay healthy and keep up the good work with Stray Kids.

“You look very handsome,” added Han, admitting that he only says it on special occasions.

“It is these small gestures that touch your heart,” said the birthday boy after the call.

Jinyoung of GOT7 thanked fans for celebrating his birthday in a brief chat on Naver’s V Live.

“It’s just a day out of 365 days but so many of you congratulated me and I wanted to tell you I’m really grateful,” he said, singing a part of Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again.”

He’d spent the night before with his family to mark the occasion and had miyeokguk for breakfast. Holding the bandage on his index finger up close to the camera for anyone who might be curious, he explained that he’d noticed his finger was bleeding a little after a workout and had gone out to buy some bandages, but they’d only had the pink Hello Kitty ones.

Viewers asked him what his wishes were and he admitted that he had quite a few and had already made one: for the cold weather to be over. The musician also sang Justin Bieber’s “Holy,” adding that he’d been listening to it quite often lately.
