[Variety] Radio Star w/ Secret and Sistar

Secret debuted earlier than Sistar but they are often pitted against each other.  Both groups are considered 2 of the rising rookies in the girl group realm of Kpop today. =)

I like Secret for their down to earth personalities, they're not trying to be sweet or shy but are actually happy to be laughing about themselves.  As the hosts mentioned, only Bora and Hyorin are the known members of Sistar.  Hyorin for her very good singing voice and Bora for her athletic abilities.

Sunhwa almost got scammed by a person claiming to be an entertainment company.  Jieun auditioned for JYP by doing popping.  Hyorin suggested Bora's hairstyle to have no bangs to make people differentiate them because they're often mistaken as twins.  With so many idols saying they wanted to date, I'm sure lots of them are actually dating. =P

[Variety] Pit-A-Pat Shake

It's a Lunar Year Special by MBC which is like a spin-off of WGM.  They paired up 4 couples and made them meet up and practice for a performance.  I guess it's MBC's way of finding a new couple for WGM, if any of the couples here get good response then they can continue on as regulars of WGM.

The 4 couples are:  Lee Joon and Lizzy, Sungmin and Hyorin, Taesung and Seungyeon, Hwisoon and Sunhwa.  Each girl and boy were asked who they like most among the boys/girls, but since there are overlapping preferences, the PDs made the choice who they want to match up.

Lee Joon and Lizzy are so cute!  I'd call them the "babo couple" because they both have that clueless look, so gullible but adorable. =)  I'm happy to see Joon smile again, he seems a bit unhappy the previous year and with Mblaq not having lots of Korean activities last year, I really missed them.  Joon's cheapness came out when Lizzy asked him to buy the costumes, he's really thrifty and don't like spending money, LOL! XD  I wonder why they didn't wear the gold costume Joon bought for the actual performance?  It looks so much nicer than the red they wore.

[Variety] Beatles Code w/ SNSD

SNSD members except for Yoona are all present. The show usually invites different guests and find things in common among them, what they called "parallel lives". But with SNSD's number, I guess they don't need any more guests. ^^ It's funny that they match them with a unicorn, nine-tailed fox and teletubbies, LOL! XD

Hyoyeon got her chance at the spotlight recently because the group is finally over with the cute concept which according to her is not her style. Funny how they become defensive at the mention of age of the new girl groups, keke. =P Most of them are turning 24 in Korean age this year which is marrying age for most Korean girls I guess? Because everyone's worried for the late 20's girls that aren't married yet like it's the end of the world, so I assume people expect them to have been married in their early 20's.

On the issue about fighting, it's interesting to know who among the girls fought. Most recent are Taeyeon and Tiffany, Hyoyeon and Jessica, Hyoyeon also fought with Sooyoung and Tiffany before. Taeyeon is jealous of Seohyun because she got a good looking husband while she got Jung Hyungdon, LOL! XD

[Variety] Beatles Code w/ 4 Minute

This show aired a while back but it's pretty interesting. And I think 4 Minute fans would really enjoy it so I thought of sharing it. =)

4 Minute was in the show with veteran singer Shimsin. The show finds things that these 2 guests have in common. Sohyun debuted in a different group when she was 12, that's 6 years ago, so she's actually a senior to most idols today. =)

They sang a ballad from their album that they weren't able to show to the audience in normal broadcast because they usually show a sexy or strong image on stage.

[Variety] Radio Star w/ SNSD

Guests are musical singers Park Haemi, SNSD's Taeyeon, Jessica and Tiffany, and Im Taekyung. I first saw Im Taekyung in Immortal Song and he really is good singer. And I like it that Park Haemi battle it out with the hosts who seem to like teasing her a lot. ^^

SNSD answered issues and some rumors that came out in the news. First is Taeyeon spacing out during an interview in America. There's also the Jessica and Taecyeon dating rumors. They also asked about the time Taeyeon got dragged by a crazy fan who went up the stage while SNSD was performing. This one I haven't heard of, that Taeyeon and Tiffany fight during their Japan concert.

The girls' dream is so simple, just to have a happy family. Like saying they just want to get married and raise their kids. Just then the only married woman on the show butt in with, "but that's the hardest thing to get", LOL! XD Reality bites. =P

[Variety] T-ara Dream Girls - Ep 1

This show was aired in 2010, but somebody requested that I post it so here it is. Here T-ara is challenging the job of a stewardess. Since they feel so tired being idols/singers, the PD asked them what other jobs they would like to try. It's basically letting them experience a different job, and maybe in the end, they will either appreciate their jobs as singers more or just go ahead and change careers. =)

[Variety] Midnight Idol w/ Infinite - Ep 1

I'm not sure if I've posted this one because it's pretty old (I don't know the original air date too, probably about a year ago), it's the very first episode of Midnight Idol with Infinite as guests. With Infinite gaining more popularity, I'm thinking maybe fans are looking for old variety shows that they appeared in. =)

The show was hosted by idols from different generations, they're DJ DOC's Kim Chang Ryul, Sechskies' Eun Jiwon, SS501's Kim Hyung Joon, Chakra's Hwangbo, and Cool's Kim Sungsu. Their first guests are Infinite. The senior idols are competing in different fun games with the hoobaes. ^^

[Variety] Shin PD Show w/ Beast

All 6 members of Beast came wearing suits! =) And like Doojoon said, it's really rare to see them 6 together as guests in 1 variety show because they usually do variety separately.



First segment is the members introduction. Doojoon showed some of his soccer skills. Stubborn Hyunseung and his failed voice imitations, LOL! XD Junhyung is really charismatic, he kinda reminds me of GD.



2nd segment is the warm up dance. Hyunseung danced with only his white socks on, with the white back ground, he looks like he's floating, LOL! =P Next up are the games to play for the cash money at the end. 1st game is "Becoming a volleyball member show". They will have to pass the ball without falling on the ground for 100 seconds. They're given 3 chances to win.

2nd game is an improvised limbo rock. They will have pins on their waist and the bar will have balloons under them. If 3 persons failed, they will receive punishment.

Sooyoung's mom asked Haha and Mong to be one day moms to SNSD and they can't be any happier! ^^ They went to Haha's house to spend the day. They received foot massage from a reflexology expert and Haha and Mong each checked out the contents of their bags.

They then played the "complaints" game to raise the dissatisfaction they have toward other members. Using Sooyoung's mom's recipe, Haha and Mong cooked a delicious meal for the girls.

[Variety] Shin PD Show w/ SuJu & Mblaq

With Super Junior and Mblaq together in this show, I can't find any reason not to watch it. ^^ Super Junior's Shindong, Yesung and Kyuhyun and Mblaq's Seungho, Cheondung and Lee Joon are playing different games to see who will be able to avoid punishment from Shin PD.

First game is the balloon throwing where one member will throw a giant balloon to the opponent making him fall or cross the line. 2nd game is the sleeping bag game where they each has to be inside the sleeping bag and run towards the decreasing number of pillows, sure is so much funnier than the first game, lol! XD Then they played a charades game. ^^

[Variety] Haha Mong Show w/ 2PM

Haha and Mong are ummas for a day to 2PM as requested by Wooyoung's mom. We get to see their new dorm and personal space. The couples who shares rooms are Taec and Junsu, Junho and Wooyoung (but Wooyoung sleeps in the living room), and Khun and Chansung (but Chansung sleeps in the living room too with Wooyoung so it seems like Junho and Khun have the rooms to themselves while Wooyoung and Chansung are sharing the living room. ^^).

They also went out for barbecue and played some games as requested too by the mom.

Haha and Mong visited Kara's dorm! We get to see the girls in their bare faces right from dreamland. ^^ I have to say that Gyuri is really pretty so I won't blame her for calling herself a goddess. And I like her holding the image of the leader with a princess syndrome just to make it in the world of variety because she carries it well. ^^

With bonus of 2AM's Jinwoon too! ^^ Moms washed Kara's faces and hair and went to each member's room to find things that needed to be fixed.

Key has to meet the scary chef again and prepare a meal for all the chefs. Key's challenging to cook doenjang chigae.

Dongho is shown at the time they're promoting in the Philippines. Filipino fans speak English so they have to communicate using the English language. Too bad he still haven't learned a lot so all the talking were left to the English speaking members.

MC Yoo is Going to be a "Running Man"

Korea's National MC Yoo Jae Suk is finally coming back on sunday TV! I'm so happy and excited because I'm sure most of variety show fans missed him. With Family Outing 2 in the brink of cancellation, MC Yoo's new show "Running Man" comes along. But the PD's are still trying to save Family Outing 2 by giving it the same time slot as Running Man for the time being. I just hope they will finalize the schedules soon because I sure would want to see Yoo Jae Suk every week and not just every other week. =)

National MC Yoo Jae Suk is ready to return to his variety show duties by starting his very own, Running Man.

The preview was aired earlier today on the 27th and will air alongside Family Outing 2 every Sunday at 5:20PM KST.

Fixed members on the show include Lee Kwang Soo, Song Joong Ki, Gary, Ji Suk Jin, Kim Jong Gook and Haha. The show also plans to invite guests for every episode, and the first will star Lee Hyori and Hwang Jung Eum.
