Yoona Makes a Brief Appearance on 'Strong Heart'

On November 6th, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona made a brief appearance on SBS’s “Strong Heart” as part of a farewell episode for Super Junior’s Leeteuk, a regular cast member of “Strong Heart” who recently left the show and concluded his other activities to enlist in the South Korean army. During the episode, Yoona revealed that one year ago, Leeteuk had said he was going to enlist in the army. However, whenever she would ask, “When are you going to the army?”, he always answered, “I’m going to go soon.” Yoona also explained Leeteuk invited her and other artists under SM Entertainment to an MT (editor’s note: membership training, a chance for co-workers or schoolmates to bond through various activities). However, rather than lead the event, Leeteuk instead stayed inside a room to watch TV and play on his cell phone. Leeteuk explained that he had planned on giving quizzes and prepared prizes, but that Shim Jaewon played music at the MT for three hours. He said, “Everyone was having so much fun that they were just dancing, so I didn’t think there was anywhere for me to fit in.” MC Shin Dongyup later asked Yoona if she planned to visit Leeteuk when he enlists. She answered, “If my schedule permits.” Yoona continued, “While he is Super Junior’s leader, I feel that he also played a role as SM artists’ leader really well, and if he’s not in that position anymore, I wonder who is going to create good atmospheres like him.” Finally, Yoona gave Leeteuk a signed copy of Girls’ Generation’s “MR. TAXI” album, saying, “If it would become of any help, this is to give him strength, with little messages. It’s a gift that’s not really like a gift.” Sources: TVDaily, TVReport Written by: bhost909@soshified Contributor: ch0sshi@soshified Have a news item that you think Soshified should know about?

'Invincible Youth 2′ to Record Its Last Episode on November 7th

The last recording of KBS 2TV’s “Invincible Youth 2″ will take place on November 7th and will air sometime in mid-November. Sunny and Hyoyeon were confirmed as part of the cast for the show on October 18th of last year, and its first episode was aired on November 12th, 2011. Sunny, who was also a part of the original G7 during the first season, left “Invincible Youth 2″ in July 2012 when the program became stable. Sunny was also busy with Girls’ Generation’s activities in Japan and with her musical, “Catch Me If You Can”. However, Hyoyeon remained as part of the cast and continued to entertain everyone with her light-hearted spirit. “Invincible Youth 2″ will be ending due to the G5 members’ overlapping activities with the show’s recordings. The members were sad when they got word of the last recording day.
