Invincible Youth Exercise Video

Though I haven't watched too many Invincible Youth2 episodes since they changed to a game-show variety format, there's still things in it that make me laugh, such as this "Diet and Exercise" video the girls made incorporating dance moves form each girl's respective groups...

Kim Shinyoung sets up the G5 girls Suzy (Miss A), Bora (Sistar) and Yewon of Jewelry to perform an assortment of peculiar exercise moves set to Jewelry's "Look At Me", with hilarious Results! 

Besides its extremely catchy song, the thing I love most about this video is the sheer fun the girls are having putting this together, jumping , skipping and flailing around the countryside for the sake of better health for all!

IY Notes: Yewon and Woori

Watching the latest episode of Let’s Go Dream Team with a whole plethora of babelicious idol girls, (including, among others. RaNia, Nine Muses and Dal Shabet) the main draw for me was for Rainbow's delegate Woori (as well as her fellow Rainbow mate Ji Sook), but what took me by surprise was how absolutely girlishly pretty Jewelry's Yewon Kim was!

 Appearing with her fellow Jewelry-mate Juyeon, this was the first time I’ve ever seen Yewon outside of her Invincible Youth borders, and it was quite a surprise to see such a pretty girl under all those bundled up farm clothes I see her in each week! I’ll definitely be looking at her with a new appreciative eye!

Yewon in the Country and in Town

It was quite nice to see Yewon alongside her Invincible Youth sister Woori where I know her best, and in a strange coincidence, I was to see the two paired up again in the latest episode of IY I was watching, which actually turned out to be the last show that my beloved Woori was going to appear in!

 Although I’d already read about her departure along with F(x)’s Amber and MCs Lee Soo Geun and Ji Hyun Woo, it still was pretty sad to see her go, in fact, I think I’m gonna miss all of them. Knowing it was going to be their last shoot together made the happy scenes of Samchon Soogeun, Yewon and Woori joking around while doing chores together and playing games even more touching!

A Different Kind of Reality

The G7 guests of INVINCIBLE YOUTH Season Two

Not really big on Reality Television (though I'm a HUGE fan of the AMAZING RACE, as readers of my other blog know well) but I have to say that when my friend Shanomac told me about a program called INVINCIBLE YOUTH where they choose seven idol girls to go work and live in the harsh countryside to experience a new side of life, it DID sound like something I'd wanna see! And then when he told me that this season's show featured not only Sunny and Hyoyeon from Girls Generation, but cutie-pie Jiyoung from KARA, it suddenly became a MUST SEE!

Placing eight beautiful girls (collectively called G8) in the middle of "the sticks" and putting them to hard work can be both hilarious and uncomfortable to watch, and there are times when I feel like the judges and foremen selected to arrange the tasks can be selectively favoring some of the members while giving some others REALLY hard work, but there as so many fun and interesting scenes to it as well, that you always end up enjoying the show!

The G7 guests of INVINCIBLE YOUTH Season One

By the time I got to the episode where the girls are taken out to the ocean to catch their first seafood (with a Biggest Crab challenge), it had become my nightly television show to watch before I turned in for the night!  Then during the talk part of that episode, one of the hosts mentioned that Season ONE of Invincible youth featured both Yuri from SNSD AND Hara from KARA! Can you say HOLY CRAP, I NEED TO GET THAT SHOW, TOO!!!

Hara and Yuri in Season One

Have to say that this show is a wonderful way to get to know these girls better and quite intimately ( you don't get much more personal than watching Hara scoot around trying to find the best squatting pose to pee in a hole in the ground! LOL) and after each show ends, I come away falling more and more in love with them, especially Yuri in the Season One show. Additionally, I'm getting to know all the girls form K-pop's other prolific girl groups: SECRET, JEWELRY, BROWN-EYED GIRLS, MISS A, F(X), T-ARA, SISTAR, RAINBOW and more, there's at least one girl representing all of them! What a great introduction to those other acts!
