Meanwhile, this week’s broadcast of ‘Invincible Youth 2′ invited members of an all-girls high school’s handball team to the G5′s ‘Youth Lodge House’. For the students who had never experienced a school excursion, the ‘Invincible Youth 2′ cast worked hard to make the day full of memories.

‘Invincible Youth 2′ cast comments on MC Lee Young Ja’s entrance + photos from July 25th’s filming

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.”

This week’s ‘Invincible Youth 2′ has been canceled due to the Olympics, but in the meantime, check out photos from the July 25th filming below!
