[Variety] Strong Heart - Episode 103

Guests: SNSD's Taeyeon, Yoona, Yuri, Tiffany, Seo Gyeong Suk, Lee Hongki, Sayuri, Song Chae Hwan, Son Ho Young, Jin Seyeon, Kim Ji Hyun, Sungjong, Yang Seyung, Boom, Jung Juri, etc.

Veteran comedians proved themselves worthy to be called veterans because they sure can make any simple situation into a funny one without forcing it at all. ^^ Rookie actress Jin Seyeon is said to be a Yoona look-a-like and even Song Chae Hwan's daughter became popular because of being called "Little Yoona".

Sayuri is a Japanese that used to be a part of a TV program with a panel of ladies of different nationalities but all living in Korea. She's one of my favorite because she's so 4D and so funny. ^^ Seo Gyeong Suk performed the song he wrote for his wife that he sang in their wedding. It's a really cute song. =) They showed a clip of Hongki from Hot Brothers where it shows how bad his hearing is and it's so funny, LOL! XD He also talked about his love for nail art.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 25

Line up: Huh Gak, Kang Min Kyung, G.O., Hyorin, Park Jaebeom, Lee Hongki, ALi

Legend:

It's the King of Kings Special. The line up are all previous winners of the program, and they will compete using the song they sang on the time they won. I'm excited for this episode because I'm looking forward to seeing the previous singers of the show. ^^

Kim Gura and Moon Heejun are picking the match they wanted most to see, it's Hyorin and ALi, a battle between two strong performers. Also Huh Gak and Min Kyung, since it's her last stage on the show, everyone wishes that they will hug on stage finally. =P

Huh Gak's winning song is "All Things" by Songgolmae. He sang it rock this time and his vocals are flawless and he even added some b-boy moves in the dance break. I just wish he did some jumping too to make it more fun. =)

ALi chose to sing "Dawn Rain" by Hye Euni among her 3 winning songs. She made it into a dance song with full choreography. Dancing is not really her strength which I think is why she wants to challenge it more.

G.O.'s winning song is Kim Suhui's "I Can't Forget". I love it when he said he missed Jaebeom the most, their friendship is so cute. ^^ I personally love the smooth jazz feel he put into the song. =)

Hongki's winning song is "The Man From Shinsadong" by Ju Hyeonmi. He's performing with his band again and they made the song into a classic band ballad that turned out really nice.

Hyorin chose her first winning song which is Shim Subong's "The Man From Back Then". She did it exactly the way she does best, sexy with strong vocals.

Min Kyung's winning song is Kim Kwangseok's "Knowing I Should Forget". It's her favorite song which I think made it more meaningful for her and it shows in her performance. She really put all her heart into the song as she sing.

Jaebeom's winning song is "Please Don't Change" by Nam Jin. He sang it in his own style which is hip hop and R&B. It sounds really good and he did great adding the dance, but sadly I don't think the older generation will be able to relate to it.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 22

Line up: Kang Min Kyung, Shin Yongjae, ALi, Nam Woo Hyun, Huh Gak, Jeong Hee, Lee Hongki

Legends: Songgolmae

Hong Kyungmin won't be singing this time but will be co-hosting instead. To sing in his place is FT Island's Hongki. =) As always, ALi came dressed for the stage, Min Kyung looks like Boy George according to Gura, LOL! XD And Huh Gak prepared a dance! ^^

Hongki came performing with FT Island members again. =) I can really see Woo Hyun working hard every week because he really really wanted to win at least once but he haven't been lucky in the past. This time he prepared a cool choreography while singing. He's a dance singer for a reason, it's what he does best and he did great. ^^

Huh Gak did great as well in that dance performance. Who would have thought that he can do a handstand just like the young idols of today. =)

[Variety] Birth of a Family - Episode 1

Hosts: Lee Hwi Jae, Boom, Shin Bong Sun

It's a new variety show about taking care of stray dogs. The opening story is so touching, just like what they say, dogs love unconditionally.~ The staffs fetched the hosts from their house and on their way to the shelter threw some trivia. I'm surprised that there were 89,000 dogs abandoned in Korea in 2009 alone. And after 10 days and nobody claimed the stray dogs, they're "put to sleep", does that mean they mercy kill the dogs? =(

They also invited idols to volunteer in walking and playing with the dogs in the shelter. We see 4Minute's Hyuna and Sohyun enjoying the company of the dogs. They also tell viewers the story of how the dogs were found.

The staff posted photos of the dogs in the KBS building to promote their adoption. They are holding auditions to those who would be willing to adopt a dog to see if they will fit to be their new family. We get to see singers like Secret, Infinite, SNSD, FT Island, Maybee, Kan Miyeon checking out the dog pictures. Some even went to the audition like Sistar, Infinite, Mblaq, Secret, A Pink, and lots of gagmen.

[Variety] Come To Play w/ Heechul and the Chocoballs

Guests: Heechul, Hongki, Simon D, Sangchu, Jungmo

I'm not sure when was this originally aired but it's fun and entertaining so I thought I'd share it here. ^^

Heechul and his gang, they're called the "Chocoballs". According to Heechul, the name means, they're a bit psycho's when you first meet them, but become more attractive the more you get to know them. =) They're common denominator is being narcissistic, they love themselves too much, LOL! XD

I love that this group is so diverse, everyone's from a different group, company, age, but they all blend so well together. ^^ Sangchu got in because he has lots of celebrity connections, he made Lee Da Hae come to Hongki's birthday party which made Heechul invite him into the group at once, LOL! XD

On the 2nd segment, Jessica Gomez came as a treat to the boys. They played a match making game with her. At the end, she got to pick the boy she liked best.

[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.

[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.

New student for this episode is Lee Joon. He showed the class the dance steps for Mblaq's song "Stay" with Yoseob following him and did well. It's family day in the school and they are learning about filial duty. So the students invited their mothers and other family members to come.

Lee Jun's mom is funny and pretty cool. I think that's where Lee Joon got his free spirit self. Min's grandma made her second appearance on the show. She knows Min's song and even the dance step! =)

Guests students for this episode are Haha and Kara's leader, Gyuri. They are teaching about patience in this episode because a celebrity with no patience will not be a star. They played games to test their patience.

First game is multiplication game. If one member of the team got the answer wrong, the whole team will be punished. Punishment is soaking their feet in cold water, and ice is added as the penalty increases. 2nd game is to hold their laughter. One member will go in where 2 girls will try to make him laugh. And the final game is to put cans on top of another. The team with the higher tower wins.

It's the 2nd part of 1st generation idols special. They played a game on image. The juniors will pick who among the seniors they think best fits the description. The juniors also get a chance to ask questions from their seniors about groups and career. I love the advices that the sunbaes gave the hoobaes, it shows how matured they are now and working in the music industry for years made them a better artist now.

I specially like the one that Dongwan said about boy/girl groups, everyone should be thankful when one member becomes popular because she brings the whole team up. They should help each other push each other up and help the whole group in the process. And Jiwon's closing remarks on how he's so happy to be together with a previous rival (Tony) in the same program and become closer now that they're older. My chodings and dorks are now grown men, and I'm just so proud of them. =)

I loooove this episode!!! 1st generation idols jjang! We all love the new idols but I have to admit, I have a soft spot for the 1st gen idols, they have the confidence borne of experience and maturity but still so lovable. ^^ They invited 1st generation idols to give advice to the new idols.

Guests are Kim Taewoo from G.O.D., Eun Jiwon from Sechs Kies, Tony Ahn from H.O.T., Gan Miyeon from Baby V.O.X., and Kim Dongwan from Shinhwa. It's Dongwan's first guesting in a variety show since he finished his public service. =)

They continued the search for their missing members. After that, the winner gets to celebrate with barbecue party. At night, they had a bonfire battle of talents. Then everyone went in to wash their faces off make-up. Their last segment for the night is truth or dare with fresh faces.

Though nobody looks really that different without make-up, but it's clear that make-up does create wonders for these celebrities. It made them look more like stars than their normal faces. =)

It's their Christmas special and they invited friends over to spend the day with. Heechul came first and he's like friends to almost all of the boys, lol! XD Other friends that came were Key, Ryeowook, Sangchu, etc.

Heechul talked about the group they had called Psycho for AB blood type members. They played a game where one says something that he wanted the other to change, the other person must say he will fix it, if not he loses. Heechul definitely is the man for this game, nobody can beat him, LOL! A really funny episode that is so worth watching! ^_^

During the break, it's like in real school, the girls talk about the boys, while the boys play around in their room, LOL! XD And the naughty Hongki who tried to be cool in front of the girls, blew a fart and put it in Minho's face, poor Minho. =S

The nominees for leader is Simon D (nominated himself, LOL! XD), Jaekyeong, Minho, and Taeseong.

Some of the students changed from the pilot episode and I'm glad the "expelled" Min is given another chance to join the group again. =)

1st subject is History. They have to name the places in the pictures, copy the position of famous statues, etc. They are graded by the number of badges they have by the end of the show. They also had physical education and lunch break just like a real school does.

A fierce battle on two teams 0n whether they should announce if they are dating or not? Both sides gave their reasons and the team that can justify their stand better will win. I find this argument interesting. Both gave valid reasons and I think it all boils down to how serious the relationship is. If it's just dating for fun, then I don't think there's a reason to announce it at all, but if it's something that you think will soon come to marriage, I think it's good to announce it if people found out instead of denying it.
