Update 2022:
The VLIVE app became part of HYBE but is shutting down. See more on this:
Closest replacement would probably be Naver Now.
Original post below for reference only.

The new updates include:
- Autoplay, so you can keep the hallyu going all day long
- Fan Board categories, so you can jump right to the types of discussions you want instead of wading through an unorganized mass of user comments.
- Picture-in-Picture, so you can watch your favorite idols eat while you browse scandal articles about who is stanning who.
- Casting support, so you can cast the video to your Samsung Smart TV or Google Chromecast, and watch the idols eat on a big screen while you eat your own cup-ramyeon and question your life choices.
- A special promo where if you leave feedback about the app you can win 200 coins for in-app purchases.
It doesn't seem to mention it here in this English announcement, but I read also that they'll incorporate Naver's Papago translation tech into the app too for immediate auto-translations.
Obviously I don't use this app, but it sure seems to have taken off and filled that K-pop International Fan niche. Read the details yourself at this link or just scroll through this screenshot I took:
