The ‘Invincible Youth 2‘ members commented on the addition of MC and “mom” Lee Young Ja to the cast.

Comedian Kim Shin Young, who’s been hosting the show alongside Boom, revealed that she was a little uncomfortable at first with the idea, as Lee Young Ja was a professor from her alma mater. She stated, “At first, I was a bit burdened by the fact that I’d be doing this with Professor Lee, but I’m learning a lot. It feels like we’ve gained our footing. Like our room is finally clean.”

SISTAR‘s Bora expressed, “We’re no longer blundering around. I feel like it’s a lot more organized. It’s comfortable because I can lean on ‘mom’. She leads us well.”

Girls’ Generation‘s Hyoyeon, who’s known as the daughter who doesn’t listen, stated, “I thought she’d be scary because she’s such a sunbae, but she’s comfortable like she’s my real mom. Because filming goes without a hitch, we end a lot earlier than before.” She also added about fellow member Sunny‘s departure: “I feel more responsible now that Sunny’s gone. I haven’t gotten the chance to make friends while promoting. I don’t really have any idol friends my age, but the ones I’ve met here are really human and honest.”

Bora said that she’s made friends on the show as well: “Even though it can get tiring, I just think of it as if we’re hanging out together.”

For the June 9th episode of KBS‘s ‘Invincible Youth 2′, season one members Secret‘s Sunhwa and T-ara‘s Hyomin paid a visit to the village of Daebudo, along with actors Joo Sang Wook and Lin Kyo Jin. The G6 members and the four guests split into three teams to make the ingredients that go into mugwort rice cakes.

During the opening, Sunhwa and Hyomin made their entrance together on the program and was met with a warm welcoming. However, Sunhwa was once again teased by MC Kim Shin Young for her ‘blank brain’ image on season one and was also teased for her grey baggy outfit which looked similar to a Buddhist monk’s robe. But despite everything, Sunhwa showcased her talents and confidently revealed her thoughts.

Seeing Sunhwa’s character unfold, Suzy murmured to KARA‘s Kang Jiyoung, “That unnie is weird.” However, that soon changed after Suzy continued to watch over Sunhwa’s bright personality. She told Sunhwa, “I like Sunhwa unnie! She’s my style. I’m gonna ask for her number today.”

The two have also become closer after working together to make mugwort rice cakes. While watching Sunhwa chat nonstop, this led Suzy to ask, “Unnie, why do you talk so much?” to which Sunhwa replied, “You’re supposed to talk on a variety program. What else do you do then?”

In addition to this episode, viewers got a good laugh from the two members as they exchanged a hilarious conversation while cleaning the mugworts. “This one looks like a sweet potato, while this one looks like a regular potato,” Suzy said.

To this, Sunhwa remarked, “Then what does this look like?” to which she answered, “Poop.” However, Sunhwa jokingly commented, “It’s your poop,” and Suzy backfired “You’re so childish!”

Kara’s Kang Jiyoung, “Don’t ask me about my weight!”

 

Kara member Kang Jiyoung, affectionately known by her fans as ‘giant baby’, recently gained attention for her hilarious banter regarding her weight.

On the May 5th broadcast of KBS2TV‘s ‘Invincible Youth 2‘, the members gathered to play a game to see who was the quickest at eating crackers that were strung up on a pole. The catch was that each member who lost would be subject to standing on a weight scale.

Before the game began, comedian Boom brought up the topic of Kang Jiyoung’s weight by teasing, “We researched the G6 members’ weight on portal sites but we noticed that Kang Jiyoung’s weight didn’t show up!”

To this, Kang Jiyoung replied, “I weighted 101 lbs when I was skinniest. It’s not like that now.” When MC Kim Shin Young continued the investigation about her current weight by asking, “Are you over 110 lbs?” Jiyoung jokingly fired up and said, “Why would you ask me something like that?“, causing the set to burst into laughter.

Unfortunately, the day was far from over as Kang Jiyoung ultimately lost the game and had to dance on the weight scale as punishment. When Boom observed, “It looks like your weight won’t fall in the 90-110lbs range“, Jiyoung tried her best to side step the teases and ultimately ran away after unplugging the chord from the scale.

As all the members kept trying to get her back on the scale, Jiyoung finally gave in and jumped on the scale with all her might. The scale ultimately indicated a weight over 175lbs, drawing the hilarious incident to an end with a great laugh.
