Guests: Brown Eyed Girls' Narsha, Ga In, Jea and Miryo, Mighty Mouth's Sangchu and Shorry, Kim Jong Min, Heo Gyeonghwan, Yang Baechu

Celebrity informants: Jo Kwon, Kim Jong Kook

Next game is guessing the ranking. Top 6 answers of people surveyed is on the board, one team will guess the top 3 and the other team will have to guess the bottom 3. The team to guess all 3 answers wins, and secrets of the losing team will be revealed. The topic is "How to win the heart of the opposite sex?".

Narsha and her friend went to party with some guy they don't know and when they got back from the ladies' room, the men are gone without paying for the drinks. I really feel bad for Narsha, she seems to have so many bad experiences with men, she's like a jerk magnet. =S Jokwon revealed that GaIn makes NG in scenes with men like the kissing scene with Doojoon where she made lots of NGs. ^^

2nd topic is "What uncool thing have you tried after breaking up?". Jong Kook revealed about Sangchu being a broker to other celebrities by referring a dentist, doctor, etc. and in return, he gets a freebie from the professionals. =P

[Variety] Happy Together S3 - Episode 209

Guests: Park Hyunbin, Jo Kwon, Min, Lee Joon, Sungjong, Kim Nayoung.

It's "Kkap Special" and I love the guests!!! ^^ Kkap Kwon is still a hit to young and old, his kkap just never grows old. And Lee Joon, everything he says is just so funny, he's so adorable! =)

Joon said that his first variety show was with Jo Kwon, but Kwon's so good that Joon started to stammer and he hasn't been able to stop his stammer until now, LOL! XD

I think it's Sungjong's first time on the show? He prepared girl group dance routine, I wish they asked him to do the scorpion dance just to see the difference of him being a cool stage idol vs. a kkap girl group dancer.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 7

Challengers: Changmin, Hyorin, Hongki, G.O., Junsu, Jiyoon

The legend they are singing is: Ju Hyun Mi - the queen of trot in Korea

I wasn't interested in watching this show when it first aired, I thought it would be just another music show. But as I watch each episode, it became more interesting. Watching the idols try to interpret a song their way, it's jjang! =)

1st to sing is Hyorin, it's her first time to sing first. What I love about her is she's so perky off stage but serious when she goes on stage. She's singing "The Rainy Yeongdong Bridge" which she incorporated with Korean traditional music. The song turned out really nice but her voice sounds like she's having a hard time competing with the background instruments.

2nd singer is Changmin singing "The Blues of Tears". He went for sentimental for his version of the song. I think it sounds a bit latino in style. The background music in this episode seem to be louder than before? I'm having a hard time hearing their voice.

3rd is Jeon Jiyoon to sing "We Meet Again". Her version was arranged to fit her voice I think. I really like the opening, sweet and cute. The next part was made into modern semi-rock version.

4th singer is Junsu with "Just a Second". The BTS of Junsu practicing with 2PM is cute, specially Khun doing that second voice! So cute!!! His version is hip hop with the help of Oneway's Chance. He even added rap in it. It turned out pretty good. =)

Hongki who won in the preliminaries chose to sing 5th. He's singing with FT Island again the song "The Man From Sinsadong". He made the song into britpop version. The opening sounds western, I was expecting him to sing in English, lol! XD Really really nice. =)

Last to sing is G.O. with the song "You Will Turn Into A Memory". He's doing it rock version after the almost original opening part. His voice is really nice, it's stronger than when he's singing Mblaq songs.

Dream Team: Jung Jinwoon, Park Jinyoung, Lee Hyeon, Kim Taewoo, Han Jeongsu, Seo Jisuk, Jo Donghyeok, Ricky Kim, Na Yoonkwon, Song Hobum, Yu Minsang, Oh Unjong.

It's the 9th Dream project, this time it's Basketball. Dream Team is going against the women pro-basketball team. Dream Team will be coached by Woo Jiwon.

I was surprised when JYP's name was called, he and Taewoo were recruited later on during practice to strengthen the team. =) I love Jinwoon, he's so cute with that eye-smile of his. ^^

We get to see how they practice and trained and played with other teams to gauge their skills. =P And for the service game, they're playing one bound free throw. The losing team coach will pay for bananas and sodas.

I haven't watched a basketball game for a long time, and it's enjoyable to watch the celebs play their hardest on the court. =)

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 6

Challengers: Changmin, Hyorin, Hongki, G.O., Junsu, Jiyoon

The legend they are singing is: Ju Hyun Mi - the queen of trot in Korea

We have a new challenger this time, it's 4Minute's Jiyoon taking Secret's Ji Eun's place.

For the preliminary competition, they are doing duets. Each challenger chose a partner to sing with, the winner will get the privilege to choose when he/she want to sing on the main competition.

First pair to sing is Jeon Jiyoon and Lee Sejun. It's Jiyoon's first time to sing a ballad and the song she chose is "Parting Story". I'm used to hear her sing dance songs, I didn't know she has such a sweet voice.

Second pair is Hyorin and Shin Yongjae. They chose to sing the song "Now", which has a little bit faster tone than the first pair's.

3rd to sing are Lee Changmin and Lee Hyeon which I think have an edge over the others since they've been singing together as a duo team "Homme" and had proven to have great harmony together. They're singing "Lay Me Down On The Sea" which was a male-female duet original.

My most anticipated duet is Lee Hongki and Kim Heechul's because they look so worried right from the start, lol! XD They're the 4th team to sing and they're singing "Morning Admission Discount". They made their concept more like a musical with the costume. The song they chose is really nice and Heechul sand surprisingly well. ^^

5th team is Junsu and Lee Yeonghyeon singing "Our Love Will". I think it's nice that they stick with the original duet without making too much variation, I love old school ballads.

And the last to sing is G.O. and Im Jeonghui. They're singing "Pain Deeper Than Love" which they changed a bit into a softer version.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 5

Challengers: Changmin, Hyorin, Ji Eun, Hongki, G.O., Junsu

The legend they are singing is: Min Hae Kyeong

1st to sing is Hongki together with his FT Island members who came to perform with him and give support. He's singing "You Smile Like a Doll" which they made into rock version since they're a rock band after all.

2nd is G.O. singing "No More Love" in jazz version. I find it very classy with the saxophone and G.O.'s soothing voice. =)

3rd is Junsu singing "The Face I Miss". It's interesting that the 3 new challengers are the first 3 to sing and pitted against each other. His version is from slow to punk rock.

Changmin chose to sing 4th with the same song that Hongki sang, "You Smile Like a Doll". He sang it comfortably with acoustic guitar accompaniment and a cute finish. ^^

5th to sing is Hyorin who looks pretty relaxed going on stage with "Mini Skirt". She sang the song in a sexy way complete with choreography and costume change. Hyorin is really good with this concept.

Last challenger is Jieun with the song "My Life is Mine". The arranger used sampling of Secret's song "Madonna" into the song. I personally find it weird but I'm no musician.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 4

Challengers: Changmin, Hyorin, Ji Eun, Hongki, G.O., Junsu

There are 3 new challengers starting this episode, FT Island's Lee Hongki, Mblaq's G.O., and 2PM's Junsu, replacing Yesung, Jonghyun and Yoseob who left the show because of their busy schedules.

The mission they received this time is to sing Pop Music Top Ten's number one song from 1992. Everyone was surprised and worried because they're just toddlers in that year so how can they sing a song they barely know? (I'm so old! LOL! o_0 I don't have any problem singing along to 1992 songs from Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, etc. at all. =P)

G.O. talked about his past singer experience before Mblaq, it was not an easy road for him to come to where he is right now. Changmin looks like he enjoyed the stage a lot, he had so much fun! =) Hongki looks so nervous while watching the other singers sing, while Hyorin looks like the most relaxed one.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 3

Challengers: Yesung, Changmin, Hyorin, Jonghyun, Yoseob, Ji Eun.

Idols are singing the legend, Boohwal. Even the people that helped the idols arrange the songs they're going to sing are present to watch them sing. Boohwal songs are more rock so I'm wondering if they will like their songs arranged differently. =)

Yang Yoseob is the first to sing with his chosen song, "Huiya" arranged to be more emotional with guitar accompaniment. It sounds like a bossa nova version and I personally love it. =)

2nd singer is Song Ji Eun to sing "Reminiscence III" which was a last minute change because the first song she chose just doesn't work for her. The arrangement is too slow for my taste but Jieun sang it really beautifully.

3rd singer is Yesung to sing "The More I Love You". He looks so pale and nervous when he started singing but made an amazing ending.

4th singer is Hyorin with the same song as Yoseob, "Huiya" but hers is a rock ballad version. I'm not a big rock fan but I enjoyed her performance specially near the end where she went more rock than ballad. It's here that she got the label of "Korea's Beyonce". ^^

Changmin is the 5th singer to sing "Never Ending Story" in jazz version. He sang it so lightly and relaxed, I love these type of songs! =) He even added a rap, and as he said, it's more for himself because he wanted to try something he haven't tried before. ^^

Final singer is Jonghyun who got 1st in the preliminaries. He's singing "Lonely Night" in original rock version but I think he lowered the key a bit because the original is pretty painful on the vocal chords.

I agree with what they said, this show sure erases the bias people have against idol singers. And I'm happy that through this show, the general audience get to see that within each idol group, there's a great vocalist that works hard on their singing. ^_^

Due to her busy schedule, IU left the show. As Kim Gura said, there's actually no elimination in the show, the challengers can continue on as long as they can. When they've become too busy with other schedules, a new challenger will come in to take their place. This time, it's Secret's Song Ji Eun.



The song they will sing this time is "The Song of My Life", it's the song that gave them strength during their trainee years. The person with the highest score in the 1st competition can choose when he/she will sing on the 2nd competition.

Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 1

This show started airing last June. I didn't watch it much before but when they started to add new singers and even guests, I think it had become more interesting. =)

Singers: IU, Yesung, Changmin, Hyorin, Jonghyun, Yoseob.

They started with 6 idols that will compete against each other. The show is trying to show the viewers that idols are good singers too and can challenge singing songs of the legends. Their first challenge is to sing the song that inspired them to become a singer.

While one is singing, the others will be in the room watching and give scores. The final result will be determined by the total of all their votes. The winner will be given the priority to choose the legend's song they want to sing. Everyone did great, they are called their groups' vocalists for a reason. =)

After the first competition, they're introduced to the first legend they are going to sing, singer-song writer, Sim Soo Bong. For the main competition, the 200 people from the audience will be their judge, including Wheesung and Lyn.

I love the show's closing, it's what I loved about Invincible Youth too. =)

[Variety] Infinity Challenge - Rowing Special w/ Jo In Sung

The team is looking for additional members to join their rowing team and Jo In Sung came! =) I love how everyone was so shocked to see him enter and became fanboys in an instant, LOL! XD



They made Jo In Sung go through a series of "try out" tests to see if he is fit to be a member of the Infinity Challenge rowing team. 1st is to test his personality, 2nd is to test his teamwork, 3rd is the fitness test and the final test is the rowing machine test.



Even if Jo In Sung didn't actually joined the team at the actual event, he gave his support by visiting them and joining in the training for a day. It's a fun episode and Jo In Sung is adorable!^^

[Variety] Strong Heart - Episode 41

Guests: Se7en, Minho and Key, Changmin, Lee Hyeon, Han Chae Ah, Jung Sora, Choi Won Young, Hong Kyungmin, Leeteuk, Eunhyuk and Shindong, Jung Juri, etc.

This was aired during Se7en's comeback. And because he had been out of Korea for a long time, he was surprised by the change in variety shows. He talked about his collaboration with Top, and the episode that happened when they were performing on stage. ^^ He also talked about his 8 years relationship with Park Han Byul.

Minho going on about Kang Hodong telling him that he can replace Seunggi in the future. He even said that Leeteuk taught him some variety show skills since he's the leader of Tuekigayo. ^^ While Key talked about being thankful to fans who praised their live singing through MR videos. But he's sad that fans are actually doubtful of their singing skills and wish they will just enjoy the performance since people have different voice ranges.

[Variety] Win Win w/ Kim Gap Soo

Kim Gap Soo is an amazing actor! He's called many nicknames including King Gap and idol actor because he's close to his young co-actors. Though he may look scary on screen, I think he's a really nice man that takes care of his juniors. He's close to Yoochun from "Sungkyunkwan Scandal" and to his "All My Love" cast. =)

He grew up from a poor family and worked in different part time jobs since middle school. I guess that's where he find inspiration in his acting thus becoming a really good actor. He's surprise guests are Jo Kwon and Yoon Doojoon from the sitcom "All My Love".

Hosts: Kim Jaedong, Park Myungsoo, Tak Jaehoon, Daesung, Yonghwa and Uee.

Guests: Kim Dongwan, Alex, Taecyeon, Wooyoung and Seulong.

The guests for this episode are singers turned actors. Daesung as Big Bang's Kim Dongwan? So true! LOL! XD Both are witty and try so hard to be funny! Gotta love them both! =P

First in the hot seat is Taecyeon and they asked about Moon Geun Young and why everybody is opposed to him taking the role in Cinderella Sister. Alex in the hot seat, he was asked about him being cheesy even to the writer who came to talk to him about the show that night.

Dongwan's turn also talked about idols dating. Being a 1st generation idol, he sure is one of the most knowledgeable when it comes to secret couples in the idol world. ^^ Yonghwa's Busan-English is so cute! =P The 3 show hosts should be part of the guests too, Daesung, Uee and Yonghwa are all singers turned actors too. =)

Daesung so cute trying to over power Wooyoung because of IU, lol! XD IU being the "it" girl nowadays sure got the boys under her little fingers, but she only has Taeyang inside her heart. ^^ Seulong admitted to being asked by an actress to go to her hotel room and he actually did. The the ever popular sit up scene from Secret Garden parodied by Taecyeong and Daesung. Dae is totally adorable!!! =D

Students: Simon D, Min, Hyoseung, Soyeon, Lee Joon, Chun Myunghoon, Jinwoon, Son Hoyoung, Hyun Woo, Kim Minji.

4 new students in this episode. Son Hoyoung still looks so young with that smile of his. Jinwoon got attacked by Shin Young, LOL! XD Hyun Woo and Minji are the newbies of variety because they're both actors. And they get so embarrassed when they got teased to be dating, which made me more suspicious. I think they are dating, but secretly. =P

For the mission, 1st is the Korean song test and "Lee Joon she lovely" got overly excited when the announcer made a special mention of his name. ^^ Next game is English word relay. Final game is to carry the girl and sit and stand 10 times, the first to finish wins.

2nd part of the Kara and 2AM special. This time, they play couple games! First is the choosing of the couples. After getting everyone paired up, they played a peppero game with giant pepperos. ^^

I noticed that Nicole is extra shy towards Jinwoon when in fact they are very close friends. I wonder why that is? Could she have secret crush on her good friend? Keke... =P

I cried so much watching this farewell episode of Adam couple. Just like the previous couples that I loved, I'll surely miss them. T.T I'm glad that they will still be seeing each other in their sitcom. =)

Adam couple announced their departure from the show in the radio show Shim Shim Tapa with Shindong and Gyuri. After that, they went home and look back at their history room and recall all the memories they had together. In those 1 year and 3 months that they're together, they shared laughs, tears, and most of all, love. <3

Guests: Changmin and Lee Hyeon, Kwanghee, Cheondung, Hyeoncheol, Outsider, etc.

It's the final episode of Star Golden Bell. I'm sad to see this show go, it's a stable show where stars old and new come together to play for scholarship.

They have musical actors on the show, one is about a nun performing in Vegas and the other is about a radio show. Changmin and Lee Hyeon fighting over who is more good looking between them two. =P Kwanghee still held on to his plastic idol image, his change in laughter to make it more masculine is funny, keke... ^^

Lee Joon took over Jeong Daun in Back to Basics, now there's 3 chodings to give the clue, lol! XD For Sherlock Returns, they have to guess who is the real Kim Hyeoncheol among the mascots.
