Since then, some lucky ARMYs were chosen and soon united with V in the virtual world! And while V did ask ARMYs to refrain from recording any screenshots of the gameplay that could disclose his ID, he did not prohibit them from making voice-only recordings. Hence, after what became the most surreal game night of their lives, the chosen have graciously shared V’s voice recordings which they were able to grab from the squad chat. V sounds nothing short of the sweetest Taetae we have come to know — and these recordings have all ARMYs signing up to learn how to play PUBG!
1. “Nuna, good night!”
When everyone on V’s squad died, including V, the squad began saying goodbye as it was the last round. This is V saying good bye to one of the nuna players who played on the squad.
2. “Nunim, shall we go this way?”
As V and his squad-mates were spread out “farming”, V asked one of them if they should head the same way. Here’s V calling the player nunim — a slightly more formal version of nuna — and guiding the way.
3. “How old are you, maknae?”
After two squad-mates disclosed their ages, V wanted to know the last player’s age. Assuming he was older, V casually called this player maknae — which, as most ARMYs know from Jungkook‘s nickname of Golden Maknae, means the youngest person.
4. “Nunim, I pinged it for you.”
When a squad-mate asked for the whereabouts of something, V had the answer. He used PUBG’s ping-ing feature to point out where it is on the map. This is V alerting his squad-nuna that he marked the location like a good, reliable squad-mate.
5. “Oh man, we didn’t even make it in the top 10!?”
After the promised two rounds of gameplay ended, the rankings revealed that V’s squad didn’t quite make it. Here’s V claiming in disappointment, “We didn’t even make in the top 10.” When his squad-mates also share disappointment, commenting in game slang that it was their final round too, V quickly turned curious and asks, “What does that mean?”
6. “Watch the blue zone behind you…”
V is for vigilant, or so it seems. This is V warning his squad that the blue zone is approaching behind them. He also asks, “Did you nunas go farming?” to make sure that his squad is stocked up on BPs.
7. “I did it though, I’m good, huh?”
Here’s V feeling extra proud of himself for inviting an ARMY with a difficult ID. The conversation goes:
V: Player 3! Aren’t you… the one who wrote on Weverse… that it might be hard for me to invite you because you have a long name?
Player 3: Yes, that’s me.
V: I did it though! I’m good, huh?
Player 3: (Laughs)
Unrecorded, Player 4: He wants you to say, ‘Good job!’
V: Yep. That’s what I want to hear…
8. “Oop, I grabbed it. Let me… give it to you…”

When a squad-mate wanted to get her hands on something, the reliable V comments he picked it up on the way. He then offers to hand it over to her like a true gentleman!
9. “I don’t want to hear it!!!”

When a squad-mate tried to hit on V with her best line, V playfully turned her down and told her to stop talking. In the recording she starts off, “Oppa, you probably don’t need to go stargazing, huh? Because…” Then, V cuts her off and says, “I don’t want to hear it…!” As she drops the punchline, “because your eyes are full of stars already,” the shyest shy-boy V says, “Be quiet…!” And though not recorded, ARMYs can almost hear the thud of the whole sqaud dropping their UWUs.
10. “Dear ARMYs, happy new year… and good night!”
And finally, here’s V personally wishing his squad a happy 2020 and a good night!

What do you call it when the best of two industries collide? It can be summed up in just one word: iconic.
In a video shared to her YouTube channel 탱구TV, Taeyeon shared the epic gifts she received from PUBG.
Among the gifts were a level 3 helmet…
… And a level 3 backpack…
… And a coffin full of swag! Wow!
The box was full of awesome Kakao Friends/PUBG swag.
She even got a Ryan massage stick!
In what might be the most clever marketing tactic ever, they even sent her “painkillers”. Taeyeon couldn’t stop cracking up over how funny it was when she noticed them!
The “painkillers” were jellybeans, which just as cute as it is funny.
Although she was really entertained by the “painkillers”, Taeyeon was excited about literally every item she received… from socks…
… To a t-shirt and sweater…
… To stickers and pens. This coffin was seriously the gift that kept on giving.
While we wish we could have gotten PUBG swag too, it’s totally understandable why they’d want to send it to the Queen of K-Pop!
Watch Taeyeon’s whole video below to see all the swag and her adorable reactions to all the cool gifts:

In the video, she is seen playing with her hair and tying it into a ponytail. Fans also spotted DAWN in the video HyunA posted, sitting at the back getting his hair done!

Many fans have expressed their disappointment in HyunA for getting braids that have cultural value, for her lack of respect, and for posting photos and a video of her flaunting her newly done braids.
Ok if you’re not black then don’t talk about about this Hyuna situation… IMAGINE HOW TIRED WE ARE dealing with cultural appropriation of our culture AT LEAST once a month.. pic.twitter.com/ewp3K4uVfZ

However, some of her fans are also quick to defend her, and are calling out those who quickly bashed HyunA without looking closely. Some fans are claiming that she is not wearing box braids, but instead is wearing Thai Khao San braids.
They are normal braids they're not that black culture or whatever, hyuna is wearing khao San braids you woke kpop twitter are so dumb pic.twitter.com/5w1hZczH3n

She also deleted a lot of the other photos she posted with her braids. Although there is no direct mention that she did this after the backlash she received, fans are assuming that she saw all the negative comments against her and her actions and address it through deleting the other photos and as well as through the video.

I’m going to dream land now. I love and respect all my fans. As difficult as it is, please don’t think badly of it. Let’s understand each other. Good night.
Here’s What Each NCT Dream Member Looks Like As An Old Man
Somehow, Chenle was selected to fulfill the role of someone’s grandpa. His role went smoothly until a funny incident between him and his “grandbaby” went completely left.
Chenle was completely into playing the part of a loving grandpa. With the fake baby wrapped in blankets, he playfully shook the baby all around, smiling at it. He didn’t think that was enough, though.
He thought the baby was too obviously fake and decided it should look more real, “It should look like a real baby.” Right after he put that idea into the universe, he got a sign that he shouldn’t be holding any babies at that moment.
As he spun around with the baby in his hands, it escaped. It flew right through the air to land on the floor. Chenle found it so funny and unexpected that he sunk to the floor as well, laughing his high-pitched dolphin laugh.
After he’d had a good laugh, he tried to soothe the baby. Walking like an old man, he moved toward it, apologizing, “I’m sorry.” If that had been a real baby, like he’d wanted, it would’ve been quite the disaster.
Regardless of the hilarious incident, Chenle holding his baby niece is one of the most heartwarming things ever.
Fake babies need protection from Chenle. Real babies, on the other hand, are safe and sound with him. Watch Chenle have too much fun with the fake flying baby here.

IU sighed as she replied, “There’s someone I just can’t seem to beat….”
The host then revealed that IU’s newest release “Blueming” couldn’t take home the trophy for best digital single in November because of… IU’s “Love Poem”!
IU opened up about how she was disappointed that “Blueming” lost, but revealed she’s also a fan of the song that “beat” her.
I am.. a little.. disappointed, but “Love Poem” seems to be a good song.. I also enjoy listening to it. I don’t feel that great but I have to admit that it’s a good song.
— IU
Since IU seems to be doing really well these days.. I guess I’ll just have to work harder!
— IU
IU released her song “Love poem” before “Blueming” back in November. And she ended up competing against herself for 1st place not just on music charts but also music shows!
And this isn’t the first time IU lost out to IU! IU’s been competing against and constantly losing (and also winning) because of her other songs!
IU vowed to work harder in 2020 so that she can beat her one rival – herself!
At the end of their visit to Kazakhstan, VIXX and their managers were on a bus heading to the airport so they could return to Korea. Everything was going as expected, and once the bus arrived at the airport, the group’s managers disembarked first… Only to find the bus doors quickly shut before speeding off with the members still on board!
We asked where we were going at the bus driver told us that because checking in was going to take awhile they were taking us to the airport lounge first.
—N
VIXX, assuming that there had simply been a miscommunication, with information being improperly relayed to their management, they decided to completely trust in the bus driver. With that settled, N revealed they decided to take a nap during the rest of the ride. Meanwhile, their managers were absolutely panic-stricken, doing their best to run after the bus while shouting at it!
All-in-all, VIXX was just thankful to be treated as VIPs and were glad to be invited to the lounge. Soon enough, their managers caught up and tried to enter the lounge after the group but were blocked by bodyguards who refused to let them in, despite VIXX stating their approval.
The guards told us our managers couldn’t come in because only distinguished guests were allowed.
—N
After the main doors to the lounge opened and a high school girl entered, the members couldn’t hide their confusion and inquired as to what was happening. They were then told that the young girl was the country’s “princess” and that she was a Starlight (fan of VIXX) so she arranged the personal meet-and-greet so she could take photos with the group, particularly N, who she revealed to be her bias.
Apparently, the princess was a fan of VIXX and she liked me best.
—N
Although it was later explained that the “princess” wasn’t actually royalty, in reality, she was the daughter of Kazakhstan’s president, commonly referred to as “the country’s princess”, VIXX is in the unique position of being able to brag that not only were they once kidnapped—but the kidnapping itself had been arranged by “royalty”!
Under most circumstances, being kidnapped would be just terrible and is truly anyone’s worst nightmare, thankfully, VIXX’s story had a happy ending—and we’re sure their poor managers were grateful too!

Momo isn’t a stranger to experiencing clumsy moments, like the time she dropped her ice cream during a live broadcast. In this case, it’s different. It concerns food she’d made herself, by hand.
momo dropped her ice cream but uhm— not surprised
clumsy momo is back!!!!
— momoshi
(@clingymomoshi) December 11, 2019
After all the care they’d taken in preparing and decorating the cookies, Nayeon wanted to snap a photo showcasing all the hard work she’d put into them. While holding her cookies beside her face, she snapped a selca. Momo wanted to do the same.
Before she showcased her cookies to the world, Momo carefully arranged them how she wanted, making sure everything was perfect. She even took a few photos to make sure they looked how she envisioned.
When the camera finally came around to give her treats the spotlight, she was all too eager to give them the shine they deserved. She tilted them toward the camera, forgetting that would unbalance them. Her slightly panicked look said it all. As half of them slid out of place and closer to the edge, Momo caught them just in time, correcting their balance.
After spending hours preparing them, including special messages, and creating characters, Momo would’ve been devastated if all her hard work had ended up in pieces on the floor. Fortunately, all the cookies remained safe and ended up neatly packed away.
See her overcome clumsiness to avoid ruining all the effort and creativity she put into her baking.

Being in the same city, it would be the perfect opportunity for the Park siblings to get in some brother-sister bonding…except they had no idea they were both in Bangkok!
A few days ago, Park Yoora updated her Instagram with a stunning selca she took at a subway station in Thailand. In the post, she listed off some of the things she did on her first day there including eating some delicious Thai curry, getting a massage, and enjoying the night view!
Seeing that Yoora was in Thailand at the exact same time as Chanyeol, fans couldn’t help but wonder if the two siblings would be meeting up for a little bit of rest and relaxation time together. Except, it turns out, they had no idea they were both in Thailand!
Shortly after Yoora posted her first Instagram post, she posted a second, letting everyone know that thanks to fans’ she talked to Chanyeol, discovered they really were in the exact same city, and thanks to fans letting them know, they were able to meet up!
Unforgettable night. My dongsaeng told me he was in Thailand, so I met up with him. I can’t believe we met up last minute in Bangkok…!! I feel like I made it in life.

Could this sibling duo get any cuter?
Lately, V has been spending a lot of time chatting with fans on Weverse. This week, he blew up ARMY’s phones with notifications, invited them to play games, helped a fan find a blood donor, and offered advice about making friends.
He also updated fans about his solo work. When a fan asked, “Are you working on solo music? We are waiting”, V replied with, “Yes (laugh) I’ve made a song that I’m a little proud of.”
When asked when he plans to release the song, V revealed that it isn’t finished yet and that he will have to decide on the timing.
It’s only a solo song, so I’ll have to consider the timing well, the song isn’t even finished, there’s just a rough melody (laugh)
