Secret Sunhwa in We Got Married?

Do you know the show We Got Married? It’s a show where a male idol and a female idol appear together as a wife-husband couple. Of course they’re not really married. It’s just a show after all. Lol. The current show has 3 couples in it, Super Junior Leeteuk & Kang Sora couple, Lee Jangwoo & T-ara Eunjung couple, and Julian Kang & Yoon Se-ah couple. Anyway, it’s not a big deal but, do you remember I recently wrote about Invincible Youth? Secret Sunhwa was a member of the first season of that show and she was a really unique one. She had a nickname “White Paper Sunhwa” because her brain is empty like a white paper.

And now, she appeared again in variety show after some time. Moreover, Sunhwa will be coupled in We Got Married with ZE:A Kwanghee who is famous for his funny appearance in variety shows. I know it’s not a big deal at all, not for you at least. But, it’s just a bit shocking for me since I knew Sunhwa quite well, and I watches We Got Married regularly, and now she appears in this show! I think this couple will be a funny couple and I expect a lot of laughs watching this later. Well, I’m sorry if it’s not a really helpful information today. I just want to let you guys know about this show more since it’s a good one. And I hope some of you will try to watch it and find it interesting. ^^

There’s not too much today but I hope you enjoyed it. See ya.

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. ^^

Popular Variety Shows Nowadays..

It’s already late in my country, yet I still can’t sleep and I decided to write something. So, I just want to share my thoughts about Variety Show nowadays. Perhaps most of you know Running Man since it’s the most popular variety show now and you also like it, right? That’s the charm of Korean variety show.

Running man is not the only funny and interesting variety show. There are a lot other which are as funny as Running man, or even better. As you may have already known, there are 3 big broadcasting system in Korea. They are SBS, KBS, and MBC. While SBS has Running man as its variety show, KBS and MBC also have their own, too. KBS has 1 Night 2 Days, while MBC has Infinity Challenge. But, it’s true that Running man is the most popular outside Korea. Also, every variety show has its own style and charm which is unique to it. Well, let’s see some of them, then.

Running man has a special concept where you have to compete in order to win something or win the game. I think that’s some of the charm. But, you can’t deny that the one that makes this show interesting is Yoo Jaesuk. It wouldn’t be as popular as now if Yoo Jaesuk isn’t the MC, don’t you think? Also, the characteristics of each member plus the funny games they play can also be considered its charm. Personally, I like how there are usually guests every week. It kinda attract me to watch the next episode every time I see next week’s guest. Expecially when the guest is pretty. ^o^

KBS 1 Night 2 Days (1N2D) is a show where the members go to different places in Korea to see and introduce those beautiful places to the viewers. While that is the main reason of the show, it has its own addictive charm which is Bokbulbok. It literally translates to blessing-curse-blessing (according to wikipedia). It actually refers to any kind of game that the members play to decide upon something, like who gets to eat, who gets to sleep outside, etc. If you watch it, you’ll really get addicted to it and find it really amusing. The MC is Kang Hodong, another great MC who is as good as Yoo Jaesuk and also very funny. You’ll also like him when you watch this. Overall, it’s one of the best show you can watch if you need some laughs.

The last is MBC Infinity Challenge. I actually don’t watch it regularly, not because I don’t want to, but because I don’t have the time. But, I’ve watched some of it and I think it’s kinda like 1N2D where you go to experience a lot of things, playing games, etc except they don’t sleep in at night. Well, CMIIW. The show is also hosted by Yoo Jaesuk, so you should know it must also be funny. Please comment if you have something to add/correct. ^^

Anyway, those are the three most famous variety show according to each broadcasting station. There are a lot other show which are also good to watch like Invincible Youth, Heroes, etc. But, I guess it would be too long and boring if I write all of them here. So, maybe next time. Also, I’m really a fan of bokbulbok and I really want to list all those bokbulbok in the 1N2D show. So, maybe I’ll also write about that next time. Anyway, I hope it was fun reading this one, and if you really want to watch another show beside Running man, I’d suggest those two above (1N2D and Infinity Challenge). 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!
