Yesterday, bouts of rumors claiming that f(x)‘s Amber and Rainbow’s Woori would be departing from their variety show, ‘Invincible Youth 2‘, turned up. Today, both members have confirmed the rumors to be true.



Following MC Lee Soo Geun and Ji Hyun Woo, Amber and Woori will be leaving ‘Invincible Youth 2′. Amber will be leaving to focus on f(x)’s comeback, which will take place in the first half of the year, while Woori is leaving to focus on Rainbow’s Japanese album activities.

Their last recording took place on March 28th, and many of the members shed tears as they bid the two goodbye. Their farewell episode will air on April 7th.

Gagwoman Kim Shin Young and model/TV star Lee So Ra will be joining the show as MCs.

This sucks, man... I'm happy that f(x) is coming back and Rainbow is doing good in Japan but their departure from IY2 will further decrease it's rating 'cause let's be honest, almost everyone watches IY2 because of Amber. Oh well, at least there's still Sunny and Hyoyeon keeping the show alive.

I'd rather them try for China. Them and Sistar are 2 groups i can't imagine in Japan.

I remember the announcement about debuting in Japan during SMTOWN Tokyo, I was assuming the first release would be a remake of Chu.

lol right?

i thought woori had something goin' on for her at least.

Date: 2012-03-30 03:49 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com
yeah I thought so too bc the older girls are more natural and funny compared to the younger ones. it's funny how Jing is staying despite having a busier japan schedule compared to woori.

i'd replace almost the whole cast tho, the casting was absolutely tragic and terrible.

The cast, the editing, ugh just revamp the whole thing. Tho, I really think Yewon should be kept. She is desperate/tryhardy and is learning variety fast enough.

ia yewon is funny and she has variety sense, she knows how to carry on a joke or when it's appropriate to insert a funny moment. boom is a total ass to her tho & he should have never been the mc. i would keep hyoyeon (and if she wasn't leaving woori) as well. rest of the cast can go or be replaced.

I thought Sunny was funny in IY1

Date: 2012-03-30 04:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com
yeah she was, this season not really. maybe because her heart doesn't seem that into it and she has to sort of mentor the other girls. I liked the ep where she went back to Yuchiri but other than that she's been disappointing this season

None of the MCs really have a chemistry with the girls so I feel like that's affecting the whole dynamic as well. Su Geun is very experienced but not with guiding a buncha newbie variety idols (it's like he doesn't give a fuck most of the time). Boom really needs a good-natured, very witty, laid back MC to work with his "irritating" wingman persona (otherwise Boom just starts behaving annoyingly to get reactions of various degrees). And the other guy is just a background character to me like I don't even remember his name or face. The villagers aren't memorable at all either but the crew travel around a lot more it seems like.

I would keep Hyoyeon as well just because she is from SNSD but she really needs someone to spark her personality. Woori and Yewon should've worked together to become like dumb and dumber.

sorry for the long comment. I just have a lot of feelings for variety shows T . T

dw, I like having discussions like this, it's fun since we share similar opinions.

yes, ia on the MCs. I think they really should've gotten a female MC to help with the dynamics. I know they couldn't get Shinyoung because of clashing in timeslots but there are other female MCs out there (Shin Bong Sun, Jung Juri? all I remb at the top of my head so far). I like Su Geun but I felt like there's too big of a generation gap between him and the girls plus isn't his wife ill? I think that really affected his involvement into the show. Hyun Woo is cute but waaaaaaay too background + his personality never suited variety.

Boom honestly... he would never work in this because he's too obnoxious, cares too much about him getting attention than the show. Plus, he works better with male idols imo because they are less concerned with image and now how to rebut back to him well.

yeah, Hyoyeon needs someone to spark her personality like it comes out in SNSD only shows. Yoona/Seobb/Sooyoung really know how to bring out her variety side and I think she works very well when she's with people she's comfortable with. They should've gotten Min instead of Suzy for the show since Min's personality is more suited for variety in the first place plus she & Hyo are close friends, I feel like she can bring out that spark in Hyoyeon.

B( okay this is getting long lmfao. do you have twitter or something?

can't wait for f(x) to come back, i'm glad they scrapped their plans of debuting in japan. a korean rainbow comeback would be amazing too, i didn't like their japanese album all that much.

uh... Lee So Ra? is she gonna be able to handle this? shoulda kept Su Geun tbh

I'm happy about f(x) comeback but I adored amber on IY2

Date: 2012-03-30 03:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] in-noctem.livejournal.com
Just let IY2 die a dignified death. It'll suck if the ratings plummet even further despite Shin Young joining the show. And Sunny was so lacklustre in the episodes I saw. She probably doesn't even want to be there.

This season seemed destined for failure, especially since the first season was so well received. Just like Family Outing and Birth Of A Family, and now Invincible Youth.

Date: 2012-03-30 03:51 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com
lol they are clearly keeping Sunny for ratings but you can tell her heart isn't as into it this season compared to the last because she has to act as a mentor and guide to the other girls (especially on the variety front) and doesn't really get to enjoy herself doing things she likes.

tbh, this season would be better if their casting wasn't such an absolute disaster.

Mte about the casting. Nobody seems to stand out this season. I loved Narsha so much and the MCs were really fun/caring towards the girls in season one. Even the replacement members weren't too bad. I liked Victoria.

Date: 2012-03-30 04:30 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com
imo, none of them stand out because of a lack of chemistry + 3/4 of the cast didn't have variety-suited personalities in the first place & couldn't catch on and learn fast enough.

yeah, the casting in s1 was gold because even they got a ton of rookies, the girls they got had the personality or potential to be funny or entertaining. Hyomin, Sunhwa, Jooyeon, Victoria, etc. were all newbies at variety but they had variety potential and their personalities aren't really mellow or calm as well. compared to the variety newbies they cast (Bora & Suzy in particular), their irl personalities aren't suited for variety and they lack the sense at variety, they were chosen more for their popularity rather than their variety sense.

I loved the first season and I was really excited at Hyoyeon joining, it's a pity that it became like this.

lbr tho, most people in korea who are watching are watching for Sunny, Hyoyeon, or Jiyoung. Amber and Woori r still underlings.
