Thanks. I need something to do to pass the time away.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!! I hope you have a very sweet, fun-loving, and memorable birthday, with lots and lots of cool, thoughtful, and useful birthday gifts, and plenty of yummy, tasty, delicious foods and drinks, and got to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEUNGYEON!!! I hope you have a very pleasurable and memorably fun birthday, with lots and lots of magnificent, thoughtful, and useful presents, and plenty of delish, appetizing foods and drinks, and get to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

At first, I thought about them doing something more sensually, provocatively updated, like when I first saw Nicole doing something like this not too long ago, . . . Then I thought about something more heavier towards the modern hip-hop-esque style with more of the members rapping with matching rhythm and beats. Won't mind having all of the members give out a few lines in that regard. Naturally, they uphold a very prevailing symphonic-ballad-R&B-Pop with very sweet touches of a few genre mixtures here and there on a few occasions, and shift towards the rocking alternative a little bit, while sticking to the traditional sense of music schools and harmony. Staying on the enlightening side of the gospels is a good thing with their nowadays bright imagery and soaring vocals of will. I'm not really against them leaning a bit towards the trot, but I won't mind them exploring other concept avenues that appeal towards the younger demographics these days. Rock-N-Rock Band would be a tall order for them to master because they will have to jam easily on instruments, as if they have been playing it for years. I don't think it is impossible for them to accomplish this, but should they consider this approach, they "must" top other band approaches to make that happen. I still hope that they will consider a full English album release in the U.S., and the sheer thought of a country-type song concept did actually cross my mind rather amusingly. After all, both Hara and Jiyoung had done their parts on the farms for the Invincible Youth program. Since they are currently holding strong in Japan, I would like to see all of them as Samurai Daimyos with their very own Clan, and Ninjas/Shinobis/Geishas. Maybe take an artistic alternative history rewrite approach at Hakata Bay, when the Mongols/Koreans first battled it out with the Japanese. I'll post up in here again, if I think of anything else.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GYURI!!! I hope you have a very lovely, a very sweet, and very memorable birthday, with lots and lots of very cool, very thoughtful, and very useful presents, and plenty of deliciously, tasty foods and drinks, and get to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

I know this is quite late in posting this, but, . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNGHEE!!! I hope you had a very special and memorable birthday, with lots and lots of thoughtful and useful presents, and plenty of yummy, delicious foods and drinks, and got to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIYOUNG!!! I hope you have a sweet and memorable birthday with lots and lots of fun and useful presents and plenty of yummy, delicious foods, and get to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARA!!! I hope you have a sweet, fun, and memorable birthday with lots and lots of cool, thoughtful, and useful presents and plenty yummy, delicious, and tasty foods and drinks, and get to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

Since coming across an online media article mentioning an anime with KARA in it, I guess we'll get an anime song for maybe both the opening and ending.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!! I hope you have a very sweet and memorable birthday, with lots and lots of delicious tasty foods and thoughtful and useful presents, and got to spend the entire day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones.

Difficult to say, but I find this trait in every culture around the world. *shrugs* I hope not. I know there's a sense of a general cultural representation that goes along with visiting another country and all, but to hold them up as some absolute religious deities is going too far. Screaming and idolizing is fine, but come on. Let's not forget, our girls are human beings like the rest of us. Symbolic antagonism would be my guess. As long as we, the fans clearly inform the oppositions against our girls, that it wasn't their fault, but the rash driving decision of the manager operating said vehicle is the one who's taking responsibility for it, and I'm pretty sure that person apologized for the offense against the handicap. Sure, everywhere around the world has encounter the quick parker in the handicap zone, and told the security guard or the parking attendant that he/she/they won't take no more than 5 to 10 minutes to finish with whatever they need to do, and then make a speedy exit. Of course they all, if not most, get penalized for this action. The important thing here is, the manager took responsibility for this error in driver's etiquette, if not the driver's manual and handbook. The girls are not the ones at fault. If you think about it, maybe they wanted to punish their manager for this? I don't know. And I don't ever recall in the media articles about a handicap person complaining amongst the line of cars in a completed filled parking lot. Sometimes I find some strange coincidences between South Korean and U.S. shows. But, that's probably just me. Agreed. I'm sure Gemba Koichiro will come to realize this, and get himself another copy of our girls awesome CD again. And I'm definitely sure our girls will happily sign that one for him too.

Agreed. It's a bunch of unnecessary and unwanted accusations against our talented and gifted girls. I believe the reason why this is starting to get out of hand via media, is because of our girls huge successes in Japan recently. Long before K-Pop finally started making good relationships with Japan, there has always been an extremist group against Korea, due to the fact that North and South are technicality still at war with each. In my opinion, their Pandora choreography is very good, and I find nothing wrong with it. Their clothing is fine too. As for the handicap parking account, they apologized for it and didn't stay in that spot for over an hour long. Move on. And, oh my goodness gracious great balls of fire they have the audacity to bring politics into this. Granted previous Korean celebrities have outspoken themselves most unwisely on this issue with their good neighbor, but come on. Not every Korean celebrity, let alone idols, are comfortable with the growing tensions between 2 nations that are starting to become more friendly, interactive, and more cooperative over the recent years, since the first Mongolian Invasion of 1274. I'm sure once a peaceful and agreeable solution is reached over this matter of those islands, things will return to a more joyous time between the 2 cultures once again. I think it best not to involve political issues with entertainment, as for the fact that the public always goes to entertainment to ease themselves from all of the politics, in the first place.

I know this is a bit late and all, but, . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEUNGYEON!!! I hope you had a very sweet and memorable birthday yesterday, with lots and lots of delicious, tasty foods, and lots and lots of useful and awesome presents, while spending the day with all of your dear friends, family, and loved ones. I am especially thankful and glad that you finally recovered, and got released from the hospital recently too. I'm looking forward to your comebacks and many more birthdays in the future. Take good cares Seungyeon.

I know this is late, but, . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY GYURI!!! I hope you had a sweet and memorable birthday with lots and lots of presents and tasty delicious foods. I am very happy that you are doing well and getting more and more stronger, after your surgery. You looked incredibly awesome in your performance with the rest of your beloved members, at the concert yesterday in Los Angeles. Take good cares and Happy Birthday Gyuri.

Ah yes, a two part episode. It's been a while since we've seen this format. Perhaps next time, there will be a three part episode, oh wait, maybe four, ah, I'm thinking dramas. I just finished watching Dream High 2, and just started on Love Rain "and" Fashion King. I'm starting to ponder if I should consider the other idol dramas now. But nonetheless, it will be interesting if this program does a three part episode. Our G6 members are doing very good, and I don't mind the punishments whatsoever, as long as it doesn't go too far. Since they did not go far with the cow, it is fine. Besides, I much rather find out how they got the cow, in the first place. It is awesome to see more and more guests show up on the program, here is my detailed review for episode twenty-two, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . This episode was very fun, as our girls continue to add to the legacy that is the Invincible Youth. I look forward to the next episode of the program.

Things are going very well for our G6 members, and the guests have been increasingly getting even more and more better with each new episode. I heard the the next one is going to have Brown Eyed Girls' Narsha and Girls' Generation's Taeyeon as the next guests for the show. Oh yeah, another reunion. I can picture Narsha coming back to the show, and ask Kim Shin Young why she thinks Sunny is now the adult-dol of the program, and then there's an adult-dol face off contest. First Kim Shin Young, now Narsha, . . . who will be next from Season One to guest star for Season Two, . . . Hyomin, Sunhwa, Hara, Hyuna, Yuri, Juyeon, Victoria, Sori? Well, I guess we shall see, as we continue to watch our show. Here is my detailed review of episode twenty-one, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . Things are turning out well for our G6 members, as the competitiveness and member bonding continues to escalate higher and higher. It is so awesome to see our Narsha return to Invincible Youth, and I am very happy to see Jiyoung coming back too. I look forward to the next episode, and seeing Taeyeon bring more joy and fun-filled memories to the program and legacy that is the Invincible Youth.

Our G6 members are doing quite well, especially with the return of our Kim Shin Young. I still hope for another MC, and two more "female" idols to be added to the show, perhaps this will happen after Kim Shin Young is adjusted with the current line up. Let us hope that these additions will happen soon. If you are still wondering why the fun and games right now, well, it's help integrate Kim Shin Young, readjust the members, no doubt. And if you ask me, they are doing a good job so far. Here is my detailed review of episode twenty, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . This is one the best episodes for this season so far. I had so much fun watching this one, and I look forward to the next episode.

It feels strange again that the uploaded videos for this episode amounts to 57:55 long, compared to the previous episodes that went on for much longer. I hope they are not cutting out so many good parts of the show, that we all "want" to see. It has been a couple of weeks since Woori and Eunyoung departed for their groups' music comebacks. Now it is the time for some new blood, or should I say, some veteran blood. Kim Shin Young is back and better than ever. I just don't know why I continue to picture her all surprised and happy as she runs up and tackle hugs Sunny, saying "I miss you!". And then Sunny is desperately reaching for Hyoyeon to pull her out of it, as Bora takes cellphone pictures, and Yewon taking a cellphone video, as Jiyoung is laughing, and Suzy giving that surprised look, as Boom tries to pry Shin Young away from Sunny. Well, I chalk this one up to my imagination once again, but here is my detailed review for episode nineteen, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . This episode was so hilarious and so fun to watch. I look forward to the next episode with our new guests. Stay tuned. Same IY time. Same IY channel. Until then, enjoy .

I found this a bit strange for this uploaded episode being 53:20, when prior episodes went on for much longer. Well, this will be Eunyoung's and Woori's farewell episode for Invincible Youth Season Two now. Departing with them are Lee Soo Geun and Ji Hyun Woo. I'm hope Eunyoung and Woori come back to the show, after they've completed their promotions. I know I will miss them, when I continue to watch this ongoing legacy, but I will look forward to their comebacks and performances for both f(x) and Rainbow. Yeah, it's going to be one of those episodes, where things are going to be very exciting and especially memorable for us all. Here is my detailed review for episode eighteen, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . Well, Ji Hyun Woo, and Lee Soo Geun are leaving to pursue their careers and concerns that currently supersedes this incredible show. Woori and Eunyoung will be making their groups' comebacks very soon, and hopefully, after their promotions are completed, they too, will comeback. Till then, I look forward to both f(x)'s and Rainbow's comebacks soon, and I wish them both a great success in their hard works to come. I'll look forward to the next episode of our Invincible Youth Season Two always.

Update news for our Invincible Youth, . . . there is an MC and two idol spots open, but no indication as to who will fill these positions. It is presumed that these empty slots will not be filled, and they will now know as G6, under the guidance of Boom and Kim Shin Young. So now, it is G18 in total for the program. And as a reminder, the scheduling has change to replace another show that was recently cancelled, about six hours earlier, starting on April 7th, Korean Standard Time (K.S.T.). At least more and more guests are showing up and things are looking more interesting, although sadden with the departures of Eunyoung and Woori. We will miss them so much. Hopefully, when their promotions are completely, they can come back as guests. Well, here is my detailed review for episode seventeen, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . I look forward to seeing what will happen in the next episode, especially with Eunyoung and Woori departing from the show. It would've been nice just to add Kim Shin Young to the cast, and not drop anybody. I'm going to miss them, and I hope they come back as guests later on. I do wonder who will fill in the other MC spot, and the two idol spots, for the show now. I keep going over and over the potential candidates, and still, I am unsure which ones will be able to meet the challenges of the program. Well, we shall see.

Yes, I've heard about Lee Soo Geun, Ji Hyun Woo leaving the program unfortunately. Lee Soo Geun having concerns with his family is very understandable and we all hope things turn out well for them. Lee Soo Geun will always be a part of Invincible Youth. Ji Hyun Woo did his very best and has become more focused on other schedules that has tore him away from show. He too will be part of this legacy as well. As for the mentioning of Eunyoung and Woori possibly leaving the program is shocking, and disheartening to come across online. Hopefully, this is not true, and deemed false, and merely a means to draw offscreen drama. Adding more members, I have no problems with, it is just the minus possibility that is totally unacceptable to the fandom. I am very, very happy that Sunny and Hyoyeon are not leaving the program. We definitely don't want another repeat of that, when Yuri, Sunny, and Hyuna left Season One. If they do end up adding new members, the question becomes, . . . "Who?" As for the current status quo, our G8 members are still doing an incredible job in every single aspect to the show thus far, and continue to bring memorable fun and community support, that are the long standing traditions of this beloved series called, . . . Invincible Youth. Here is my detailed review for episode sixteen, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . So it has been confirmed, . . . Eunyoung and Woori will be leaving the program. Aigoo. I'm going to miss them. I am unsure if there will be any members from either f(x) or Rainbow, who are going to sign on, when both girls stated that they'll be quite busy with their groups' overseas activities. I'm going to miss them on the program now. It is confirmed that Kim Shin Young and Lee Sora have signed to replace both Lee Soo Geun and Ji Hyun Woo. Oh, update, Lee Sora declined to join the show. So, there's a new MC spot opening. I'm wondering who will fit in now. I am looking forward to seeing what is going to happen over the next three weeks of episodes for Invincible Youth Season Two. We will miss you Eunyoung, Woori!!! I hope the both of you can come back as guests, and check up on the rest of the G8 members, and see how well the village is doing since. It is going to be another G10, just like Season One.

Invincible Youth Season Two is gaining more momentum in their endeavors to expand the global awareness about Korea, its culture, and its people, who work hard to provide the delicious food and knowledge that makes it thrive and endure in these times. It is very enjoyable to see how well they are all getting along and working together to success in the various challenges that face them. Not to mention more camera time, opportunities to demonstrate their abilities, and have even more fun at the same time. Here is my detailed review on episode fifteen, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . They continue to achieve their goals with each new challenge that they are given, in each brand new episode of the program. I'm very proud of them as they make more new connections with the community and working hard to earn all of the goodness that comes from it. I look forward to the next episode of Invincible Youth, Season Two. If this program makes it to completing Season Four, I wonder which type of season will best fit the Seasons.

CONGRATULATIONS KARA!!! Happy 5th Anniversary Gyuri, Hara, Seungyeon, Nicole, Jiyoung!!!!! Awesome achievement! I look forward to more anniversaries for our beloved Kara. I hope all of you enjoy lots of yummy food, and have loads of fun, and of course, well-deserved rest. I'm still praying for Gyuri and Nicole to recover. Get well soon.

I will admit that prior to the first episode airing, I did have thoughts about our G8 members going skin diving in bikinis, or perhaps shoreline fishing in bikinis. But, I may have to settle for just this episode. Our G8 members continue to establish strong bonds with the villagers and create more memorable moments in the enduring spirit of being Invincible Youths. Here is my detailed review for episode fourteen, . . . in spoiler tags, . . . enjoy, . . . The G8 members are making good progress in taking care of their village hosts, and still showing that strength and charisma as members of the ongoing show, our Invincible Youth. I look forward to the next installment of the program. It looks quite exciting. Stay tuned.

After I finished reading two online media articles here and here. I couldn't help to contain my joy and my heartfelt congratulatory feelings to our beloved girls. Way the go KARA!!! I wonder if they'll be making the soundtrack as well. Hopefully, this will catapult them into anime soon. They are doing so well in Japan. I'm so proud of our girls.
