Variety Shows with Beautiful Idols!

Maybe you’re wondering why today’s title is about variety show again. Well, I thought that I’ll just make this week a “Variety Show Special” week since I have a lot to write about it. Please just bear with it. 😛

Anyway, today’s about beautiful girls in variety shows! Usually, variety shows are consisted of one or two female members, and the rests are guys. Let’s look at Running Man which only has Song Jihyo as the female member. Worse, 1 Night 2 Days and Infinite Challenge even don’t have any female members. Those shows are funny, but sometimes you need to see some female idols too, right? So, here I’ll share my knowledge about some shows which has a lot of female members, especially for those who didn’t know about these shows before.

The first one is, the most popular one of its kind, Invincible Youth. I’m sure some of you have known this show since it’s quite popular. So, this is a show where female idols from different girl groups experience the life of farmer. So, they shoot on a countryside, where they tend the animals, grow plants, do chores, etc. Actually, there are 2 seasons of this show. The first season focus more on the concept, where the members really do the farmers’ chores, take care of the fields, etc. So, in every episode you’ll mostly see the girls doing their works while also doing funny things for the show. Oh yeah, the members of the 1st season are SNSD Sunny and Yuri, 4Minute Hyuna, Kara Goo Hara, T-ara Hyomin, Secret Sunhwa, and Brown Eyed Girls Narsha. The first season is a bit boring at the start, but gets really funny not too long later. I really recommend it to watch.

The 2nd season is still ongoing and feels a bit different than the first. Even though the concept is about experiencing the life of countryside, there are a lot more variety games and less works that the members do. So in my opinion, the main concept has changed a lot from the first season and it doesn’t feel like the old invincible youth. But, it’s still quite funny and worth watching. The original members are SNSD Sunny and Hyoyeon, Kara Jiyoung, Sistar Bora, Jewelry Yewon, Miss A Suzy, f(x) Amber, and Rainbow Woori. Amber and Woori left after some episodes, and the show is left with 6 members. And recently, Sunny also left the show, leaving the 5 members behind. It’s quite sad that the members are leaving while there is no replacement. I really hope KBS will add another girl to make it brighter and funnier. 😦

The third show is SBS Heroes (yeong-ung-ho-geol in Korean). Heroes is a kind of popularity contest of the members while they also experience a lot of things. The concept is like a usual variety show, I guess. They play games, get punishments, etc. While Invincible Youth only has members from girl group singers, Heroes’ members consist of singers, actress, and comedian altogether. So, perhaps you don’t know some of the members at first. But, you’ll start to like them as the show goes on. The members are comedian Shin Bongsun, singer Noh Sayeon, singer Seo Inyoung, T-ara Jiyeon, Kara Nicole, Brown Eyed Girls Narsha, former Fin.K.L Lee Jin, After School Gahee, the cute singer IU, actress Yoo In Na, actress Hong Soo Ah, and actress Jung Gaeun. This show is not too popular outside Korea, and most of you might not know it. But, it’s a really good show and I really like it.

The last, and maybe the most unexpected, is Hello Baby! Am I wrong? No, it’s actually a unique variety show where a boy or girl group has to take care of baby/ies. So, it’s a show for you guys who wants to see beautiful female group idols. There are 3 girl groups, SNSD, T-ara, and Sistar, each having their own show. For the boy groups, I think there are 2, SHINee and MBLAQ. It’s not especially funny, and maybe a bit boring if you don’t like babies. But, you get to know the personality of the members and getting some knowledge about them.

That’s it. I guess that’s all I can share with you. If you have question, feel free to comment. See ya. ^^

Invincible Youth is Back!

Do you like watching Korean variety shows? Perhaps you’ve watched some Korean variety shows like Running Man, Family Outing, or any other shows. Well, those shows are really popular even outside Korea. But, have you ever heard of a variety show called Invincible Youth? If you have, you must be one of the luckiest people in the world. Well, not really, I’m just kidding.

Anyway, Invincible Youth was a variety show which aired at KBS2 TV Station in Korea. The main concept of this show is about 7 idol girls who want to learn how to be more capable and independent by working in a village. Those 7 girls are SNSD Yuri, SNSD Sunny, Kara Goo Hara, 4minute Hyunah, Brown Eyed Girls Narsha, T-ara Hyomin, and Secret Sunhwa. Those 7 girls started working in a village called Yoochiri where they learned a lot of things about farming and working in a village. And together with the MC Kim Shinyoung, Kim Taewoo, and the village chief Noh Joohyun, they made a really good variety show called Invincible Youth.

What’s really good about it? If you watched Running Man, or other variety shows where Yoo Jae Suk was MCing, you might think this show is not that entertaining because the only person who is funny in this show is Kim Shinyoung. At first, I was thinking like that, too. But, the main appeal of this show is not about who the MC is. It’s actually the 7 girls themselves. Can idols be funny? Of course! In this show, I realized how funny idols are. I laughed a lot watching this shows and it was so much fun. If you like watching variety shows, and you also like K-Pop idols, I recommend you watching this show. It’s really worth watching.

Well, actually this show has ended some time ago in Korea. It ended because of the busy schedules of the members. But, it has come back again now, the second season! I was really happy when I heard there was gonna be the second season of Invincible Youth. In this second season, there are 8 idol girls who are joining the show. They are SNSD Hyoyeon, Kara Jiyoung, f(x) Amber, miss A Suzy, Sistar Bora, Rainbow Woori, Jewelry Yewon, and last but not the least, SNSD Sunny! That’s right, Sunny is back again in this season. She was the expert of Invincible Youth in the first season, and now she’s joining the team again.

If you watched the first season, I’m sure you really want to watch this second season, too. So, go watch it right now! It’s already the 5th episode! But, if you didn’t watch it before, it’s okay. You can start watching it now and see how interesting this show is.

Okay, guys. It’s time to go. See you next time!
