Kim So Yeon, G.NA, and Others Have a Hard Time on Military Women Special of “Real Men”

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

In the upcoming episode of “Real Men,” seven female celebrities will enter the military to receive training in the army.

Prior to the beginning of training, all of the members had to go through a physical test.

Kim So Yeon, who has kept an image of a tough heroine through her role in the drama IRIS, surprised everyone by failing to pass all of her physical tests. Unlike her action-packed roles in the dramas, she failed to pass the sit-up test, push-up test, and running test.

The other members showed a different character from their normal selves as well. The eldest, actress Ra Mi Ran, who has a strong image with a great speaking ability, showed tears during every training session, getting herself the nickname of “crybaby Mi Ran.” Hong Eun Hee was the fastest to adapt to the military life due to the coaching of her husband, Yoo Joon Sang, who served in the Lee Ki Ja unit (one of the most difficult to endure). However, despite having a fast knowledge of the way things worked in the army, her body did not willingly follow her directions.

Singer G.NA and comedian Maeng Seung Ji are anticipated to become pretty clumsy soldiers. G.NA especially, is like Henry, doing and saying a lot of unexpected things, making the other members anxious. Similarly, Maeng Seung Ji is unpredictable, as well, the members not knowing what she’ll do next.

Unlike the other members, however, short track athlete Park Seung Hee excelled in every obstacle like a gold medalist and was thus given the image of the best solider within the group, as expected.

Meanwhile, this episode will air this upcoming Sunday, August 24 on MBC. Is anyone tuning in?

Maybe korea will finally like hyeri after this show.

G.na being compared to Henry, somehow makes me feel anxious. Henry gets the "he's cute and innocent" but i feel like, G.na wouldnt be looked over as kindly. Comments will probably be like, "how dumb" "airhead". I hope im wrong.

hmmm squinty eyes at this article tbh
it's not like all the males did great in the physical department on this show

[froggster.livejournal.com]

you're probably right. When they announced this special the netizens were already balking at the thought.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

she always got this kind of comments, sadly, it won't be anything new.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Now it'll just be in a bigger scale. Great. :/

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

I can already tell a lot of people will be saying "they're useless" "weal" for not being able to do the tasks right. When a lot of times, the guys failed to do the tasks as well.

But hoping bec of the show's structure, people will be kinder. Like maybe in a regular setting, hyungsik and henry would be laughed at, but bec it's in the army and people see they're trying, they appreciate it. Crossing fingers it'll be the same for the ladies.

crossing all fingers and even toes. I hope the editing team doesn't make things seem worse than it really was. Knowing Korea's penchant for dramatic editing I don't have high hopes however

I actually want to watch this. Are there any links? How is Hyeri doing?

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

It hasnt aired yet.

ondemandkorea.com, they have almost every drama/variety show uploaded in HD.
I dont know if you can access it where you are (us residents afaik have no problem)

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Hyeri is the only one they didn't talk about, and the one I'm most interested in. She's pretty strong, both physically and in spirit, so it should be interesting to see. I think she may have been a good choice.

ngl i'm still sad that uee is not part of the show.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

It's only available in the US and Canada. But I'm sure we'll get some links. Thanks either way bb

Ugh worried about netizen reactions, but that aside I'm actually really interested in this show. I always really enjoy watching females take on traditionally male roles because breaking stereotypes is fun. Honestly,no matter what the dynamic it's fun, but especially the male-female one because I understand it a little more. I wonder if anyone will sub this show?? My guess is not, but if anyone knows anything let me know please <3!

omg that would've been amazing

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

Thanks bb!!

Edmonton...?

I hope his show will be received warmly by the public.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Iirc subbers gave up on this show bec of the military jargon. So probably not.
For a while, a henry fan subbed a couple of episodes but then i think her account got suspended and stopped.

Even the guys are having a really hard time so if the girls can do it, its very admirable thing. I remember Kim Suro said that he felt like dying during one of the challenges. :/

Didn't expect Kim Soyeon to fail all the challenges though...

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

most men fail those physical tests too

that's what boot camp is for
