[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] Invincible Youth S2 - Episode 4

Hosts: Lee Soo Geun, Boom, Ji Hyun Woo
G8: Suzy, Amber, Bora, Jiyoung, Hyoyeon, Woori, Yewon, Sunny

The girls are challenging the boat to catch crabs. Even the 1N2D guys hate it when they hear the word "boat" because they get sea sick, so will the girls be able to overcome it? ^^

Amber so cute saying her "ppuing ppuing", she's going to learn Korean faster this way so I hope the show lasts for a long time. =) They caught crabs, halibut, conch, sting ray, and many other sea creatures. The girls seem to be enjoying the experience.

They played a quiz game and the winning team gets to eat halibut sashimi. They then compared their catch and the one with the bigger crab wins. The losing team sells their crabs in the market. At night they plan a housewarming party.

Boom called Lee Dong Wook on the phone that got the girls all excited.^^ They then starts to choose things they need for their house like blankets, hygiene items, refrigerator, karaoke machine, etc.

[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] Invincible Youth S2 - Episode 3

Hosts: Lee Soo Geun, Boom, Ji Hyun Woo
G8: Suzy, Amber, Bora, Jiyoung, Hyoyeon, Woori, Yewon, Sunny

In the previous episode we got to see the girls catching octopus. Boom team who lost are now going to sell them and then go back to cook the octopus soup for everyone. The headman assigned each girl a task, and lucky SNSD that they get to do the easy tasks because the headman likes them. ^^

While Boom team is cooking, Hyunwoo team thought of preparing rice cakes for Jiyoung who will be taking the entrance exams the next day. Suzy being the maknae gets to do the hard tasks, but she still did everything with a smile. =)

After dinner, they gather around the campfire. They put their troubles on paper and they will all help to solve them. Concerns like how to be attractive to men, idols just wanting to get married early, how to be good in Korean language, crush over Song Joonki, complex on physical looks, laminated teeth, how to be good in variety, how to act cute and pretty. I think this is a good start for the girls to know each other better. ^^

I think it's cool that they admit to their complexes, specially them being girl idols which are subject of criticisms when it comes to their looks. But when they try to fix something to gain more confidence and look prettier, they got criticized again for being plastic beauties. I just wish people will just get off the girls' backs and like them as how they are because they're all pretty in their own way. =)

I read somewhere that the show is suffering from low ratings, I really wish it will last long. I would like to know each girl better and see the real girl behind the image they have on stage. =)

[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.

Hosts: Lee Soo Geun, Boom, Ji Hyun Woo
G8: Suzy, Amber, Bora, Jiyoung, Hyoyeon, Woori, Yewon, Sunny

They're spending the day in a mudflat and the task is to catch an octopus. The girls were fetched from their house/dorm by Hyunwoo in one team and Boom in the other team. They went there to wake the girls up and catch them bare faced to show the viewers their natural look.

Suzy, Jiyoung and Bora all look pretty without make-up. =) It's the first time for some of them to wear farm clothes so they chose a best dressed girl. At the mudflat, the girls learn how to catch octopus. They next played a game to get a goby, it's a fish that the octopus like. It can help them catch more octopuses.

It's really nice to see the girls enjoying and not afraid of getting dirty at all. And they all seem to be getting along well too and becoming closer. ^^

Legend: Nam Jin

It's sadly the last episode for 5 of the singers and only Huh Gak will come back next episode.

1st - Huh Gak with "If I Had A Lover". He made the song into a fun and cherry version with melody that's easy to follow.

2nd - Hyorin with "A Kind Heart". She performed the song with strong vocals and very sexy choreography.

3rd - G.O. with "Aching Heart". He sang it full of emotion, like he's really in pain. Seungho even came to cheer on G.O., supportive leader. =)

4th - Jaebeom with "Please Don't Change". He made the song into smooth hip hop version with impressive dance moves. I really like the chorus, cute! ^^

5th - Kyuhyun with "With My Love". He's doing a dance version of the song. We get to see "Dance-Kyu" doing a Michael Jackson. ^^

6th - Jiyoon with "Once More". She wrote her own rap into the song which talks about a guy who cheated on her before.

[Variety] Invincible Youth S2 - Episode 1

G8: Suzy, Amber, Bora, Jiyoung, Hyoyeon, Woori, Yewon, Sunny

It's Invincible Youth Season 2!!! I'm happy with the new G8 and hope to enjoy the new season as much as I enjoyed the first. =) While Soo Geun is watching in the monitor, the members came one by one and each were to do a mission for the next girl to guess.

They're call time is early morning to everyone came from home. The two who debuted the latest, Rainbow's Woori and Jewelry's Yewon even brought energy drinks and snacks for the girls.^^ The girls are divided into 2 teams. They will have to complete missions to receive the 7 treasures. Sadly, Suzy has to leave for Seoul so she can't join the girls.

The missions range from making the baby laugh, fruit seed on the face, shaking sesame seeds, speed quiz, karaoke challenge, cook seafood pancake, multiplication game. And the treasures are chicken, seaweeds, photo, baby octopus, mic, grapes, salt.

It's their first episode so the girls are still adjusting to each other. I'm looking forward to the future episodes, and I gotta say, I love Amber! =) I also love it that they kept the ending sequence they do in the first season where they show pretty shots of the episode with the back ground music, super love it! ^_^

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 14

Challengers: Hyorin, G.O., Jiyoon, Kyuhyun, Jaebeom, Huh Gak.

Legend: Nam Jin

The Rival Match this episode is pretty interesting, it's "Dance vs. Ballad". =) Hyorin, Jaebeom, and Jiyoon chose dance, while G.O., Kyuhyun, and Huh Gak chose ballad. They're also given the choice to pick their own songs that they think they will do well in.

1st round - Hyorin vs. G.O.

Hyorin chose "My Name" by Boa. She's a really good stage performer, the song has dance from start to finish which she did really well, plus she's also singing live the whole time.

G.O. chose "Back To You Again" which he sang with full emotion. I'm not familiar with the song but I can clearly see that G.O. poured out so much feelings in singing the song. Really great!

2nd round - Jaebeom vs. Huh Gak

Jaebeom chose "Look Back At Me". I think he really put everything he does best in this performance. He sang R&B style to control his vocals, but danced full force in the dance break and even adding b-boy which he does best at the end. ^^

Huh Gak chose "You Are The One For Me" to showcase his vocal range. He has a very pretty voice that fits ballad so well. This round's voting depends on personal preference because I think both did very well.

3rd round - Jiyoon vs. Kyuhyun

Jiyoon chose "Coming Of Age" which is a very popular song back in the day. She's not one with very strong vocals but she gave her best in this performance.

Kyuhyun chose "A Study Of Memory" with her sister in violin. He performed the song with an orchestra accompaniment that blends well with his voice. The ballad singers really belt it out to compete with all the dance the dance team did.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 13

Challengers: Hyorin, G.O., Jiyoon, Kyuhyun, Jaebeom, Huh Gak.

Legend: Kim Wan Sun - Korea's Madonna

Jaebeom won in the first competition so he got the chance to choose when he wants to sing. To the surprise of everyone, he chose to sing first! It's the first time that anyone chose to sing first because going first makes you most nervous and give you the least chance of winning. But being the cool guy that he is, Jaebeom chose to go first. =)

1st - Jaebeom singing "Happy Day" in the version he's most comfortable with, R&B. He added some rap in English as he usually does. Pretty nice version. =)

2nd - Jiyoon singing "The Clown Laughs At Us". She did a great stage with full choreography. I notice that her voice has become stronger and steadier. Her vocals still has room for improvement but I'm happy to see that she's doing her best. =)

3rd - Hyorin singing "Too Lonely To Dance Alone" in another sexy and powerful performance.

4th - Huh Gak singing "Dancing To The Rhythm" making it into a ballad version.

5th - G.O. singing "Tonight" in a very nice Jazz version. I'm surprised with his voting results.

6th - Kyuhyun singing "The Masquerade". When I saw Kyu with dark eyeliners, I'm really curious what he prepared. It's a rock performance and it's great! ^^

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 12

Challengers: Hyorin, G.O., Jiyoon, Kyuhyun, Jaebeom, Huh Gak.

Legend: Kim Wan Sun - Korea's Madonna

The introduction with the legend is really funny! ^^

Theme for this episode is "Summer Vacation With Friends". The challengers are paired up with another celebrity for their performance. They're going with the rivals method again by internet voting on who will go against whom.

1st round - Jiyoon vs. Huh Gak

Jiyoon with Gong Hyeong Jin are singing "Life Is". They rock the stage with the rock version.

Huh Gak with Lee Si Young chose "One And A Half" and went for the cute concept. =)

2nd round - Kyuhyun vs. G.O.

Kyuhyun with Kim Min Jong singing the song "With You". Super Junior helped Kyuhyun with the choreography to make it more fun and I think it really worked. ^^

G.O. with Cho Yeo Jeong chose a very fun song, "Let's Go On A Trip". The couple look is cute.

3rd round - Hyorin vs. Jaebeom

Hyorin with Hyun Woo chose the song "Don't Leave Me". They both sing quite well but they have trouble with their harmony. =S

Jaebeom with Solbi, Kim Soo Ro and Jang Hyuk singing "Tell Me". It's really nice that Jaebeom's seniors came to help him out. It's a really fun performance. =)

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 11

Challengers: Hyorin, G.O., Jiyoon, Kyuhyun, Jaebeom, Huh Gak.

Legend: Kim Soo Hee

With the new challengers came a new rule, the winner from the preliminaries can choose when to sing during the performance, unlike before that they will have to decide beforehand. I wish they just took the rules from the preliminaries, the "rival" method. I think it's more fair to choose a final winner from the 3 who already won.

1st singer is Jaebeom to sing "Yearning". He looks like he's loosing his mind on the way to the stage, LOL! XD It sure is nerve wracking to be the first to sing, and it's his first time in the main competition too. He changed the song and made it into R&B, it's actually pretty nice. I think Jaebeom may be one of the weaker singers of the list but he makes up for it with his passionate performance.

2nd picked is Huh Gak singing "Sorrows". I'm kinda glad the new challengers got picked to sing first. His version is very emotional, like a drama ost. But the choir in the background made it sound like a church song, I'm not sure if they go together. =S I didn't get to watch him in Superstar K, but I guess his strong point is singing ballads? He's really good at it.

3rd is Hyorin with the song "The Seoul Woman". After losing for a number of weeks straight, she went back to what she does best, belting it out with her powerful voice and matching it with energetic sexy dance. =)

4th singer is Kyuhyun with "Too Much". We know his a very good singer but his throat is in a very bad condition on the day of the competition so he's struggling with every note as he sings. I think he still did quite well.

Jiyoon chose to sing 5th with the song "The Southbound Train". She went for retro dance for her version and it's pretty cute. ^^ I think what she improved on in this show is she's opening up her vocals more now.

Last to sing is G.O. with "I Can't Forget". He haven't won yet so like Hyorin, he just go for his strengths. The song sounds jazzy with nice band accompaniment, and he depended mainly on his vocals for this performance.

[Variety] Immortal Song 2 - Episode 10

Challengers: Hyorin, G.O., Jiyoon, Kyuhyun, Jaebeom, Hug Gak.

Legend: Kim Soo Hee

The summer specials are over and their back with 3 new challengers, Super Junior's Kyuhyun, Jaebeom and Huh Gak. The first challenge is "Old and New Idols Joint Performance". They invited 6 first generation idols, Moon Hee Jun, Son Ho Young, Kan Mi Yeon, Goo Jun Yeop, Hong Jonggu, and DJ DOC to sing together with the current challengers. They're performing by order of "rivals".

First Round - Hyorin vs. Huh Gak
Hyorin and DJ DOC sang "Love is Still", it's fun and Hyorin fits right in with the guys.
Huh Gak and Hong Jonggu chose the song "What I Wanted From You". Huh Gak's voice goes from soft to strong with the high notes, nice!

Second Round - Jiyoon vs. Kyuhyun
Jiyoon and Goo Jun Yeop chose "I", a really popular song back then, with full choreography. They sure worked hard for that number.
Kyuhyun and Son Ho Young is singing "Lies", took out all the rap from the original song and made it into R&B. Kyuhyun sure is one of the most popular Super Junior member, foreign fans from the audience even stood up to cheer for him. ^^

Third Round - G.O. vs. Jaebeom
G.O. and Kan Mi Yeon are doing "Killer", turned it into latino and added ballroom dancing to it.
Jaebeom and Moon Hee Jun sang the very cute H.O.T. song, "Candy". Hee Jun and Jay are both cracking me up with their humor, lol! XD There sure is a reason why you need 5 people to sing that song. ^^ I think what gets Jay misunderstood a lot is his carefree attitude, he doesn't hide his awkwardness under a smile and just acts cool about it. But I hope he'll smile more, he sure looks a lot better showing those pearly whites. =)

[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 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. ^_^

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



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.



The legend they're singing this time is Boohwal.
