This week KANDY went to SMASH! and it was Kevin's first convention. He was so impressed by all the cosplay. He let's us know if K-pop concepts can feel like cosplay, and tells us about a make-up trend where female idols put freckles on their face. What would he do if the new ZE:A concept was 'freckles'? Kevin and Andy tell us their favourite animes and Kevin talks about a Korean anime, he also does Transformers impersonations. A-mazing!

On this week's Fan Forum; why is there a a K-pop hallyu boom happening in Australia currently? There's been quite a few big K-pop concerts and events that's happened in Australia in 2017 so far (GOT7, BTS, Rap Beat) and with more to come; is this the start of another hallyu wave? It's not just Australia that's experiencing this hallyu boom; Black Pink and TWICE have just debuted in Japan and the 2 groups are already massive in the country. Kevin and the team talks about promoting in multiple countries at once, and the difference between how fans from different countries react.  Oh, EXO have made their comeback, and KARD have finally made their official debut!

G-Dragon is about to come down under and perform in Australia, but we can't wait until he's here to know what the concert's like. So, we got an American fan, Linda, who's just been to his show to tell us all about it. There were SO many people, more than she imagined, so many people that it took an extra 40 minutes just to get inside the venue. The concert started after 9pm. During the show the K-pop star explained his whole album concept, about how he felt about always performing as G-Dragon and how - this time - he wanted to perform as himself; Kwon Ji-yong. His attire became more casual as the night progressed. He gave every performance 100 per cent of his energy. There was fire, flames and incredible lights, which were amazing and unexpected. While on stage he spoke about his two different personalities, between G-Dragon and Kwon Ji-yong, about how it can feel burdensome at times having to always perform as G-Dragon. He said sometimes it means he feels lonely. Linda said it was a teary moment for her; very emotional. After her experience Linda's got a message for his Aussie fans about the concert...

This week K-pop star Kevin Kim shares his fitness tips with Andy Trieu. Kevin says the easiest way to have a scheduled plan that works for your body is to get a personal trainer. The ZE:A boys start their workout on treadmills and do a lot of stretching. He says you shouldn't go straight into heavy weights; you need to warm up first. The trick to fast abs? Ab bicycles, and planks. They always finish their workout with a plank. Also squats. Do a lot of squats. Many girl groups do pilates and yoga, which is great for the mind too.
