An SM Entertainment representative has revealed, “Sunny is leaving KBS 2TV’s ‘Invincible Youth 2′.”
Sunny already filmed her final episode last month, which will air on July 7th, ending Sunny’s eight months on “Invincible Youth 2”.
Sunny’s representative explained, “Originally Sunny was also in season one, so because of that, even before season two started, discussion with the production crew was already made for her to leave naturally when the program became stable.” The representative added that with “new MC Lee Youngja entering the show and the reorganization, it seemed like the right time to take the opportunity and leave the show now.” Furthermore, the representative stated about Sunny’s future schedules, “For the time being, it is planned she will only do Girls’ Generation activities. No individual schedule has been decided yet.”
The PD for “Invincible Youth 2” said about Sunny leaving, “Because of Sunny’s musical or her Japan activites and her individual schedule, it was a situation where she was very tired and would arrive like this.” He added, “For her other schedules, she is leaving ‘Invincible Youth 2’.” He also said, “Hyoyeon will still be staying. There will be no new different members coming in. It will stick with G5, and Lee Youngja will be coming in as an MC.”
For Sunny’s final episode, even though there wasn’t any special event, the members who knew it was her last broadcast cried along with Sunny. Since October 2009, Sunny has received love by showing a down to earth and firm image in her first broadcast of “Invincible Youth” season one, as well as into season two.

this is so sad, i’ve a lot of fun watching Invicible Youth ause of Sunny. OMG we are gonna miss her, miss her talent, miss her aegyo and miss her hardwork when planting or farming .
Yuri didn’t even get to go on it yet >:(
sunny…my girl…how wonderful the experience of IY and IY2 have
been for you and your fans. you are the woman of substance, which
is why i admire you so very much. you have shown everyone that even
though you are capable of aegyo and a sexiness even i can’t handle,
you’re not just composed of the characteristics of an idol, you are
much more than that. you are not afraid to get your hands dirty. you
are a hard worker. you are not afraid of being motherly to whoever
needs it. you are so caring and nurturing. you are the complete woman.
the way you make it possible for one woman to cover the spectrum of
qualities any guy could want in a girl leaves me breathless. words do not
justify how much we all appreciate the complete sunny. we love you!
So the rumors were true :( This is so sad. Hopefully she’ll appear in another show or another project soon (but ‘no individual schedule has been decided yet? weeps.)
Soonkyu ahh your last show on IY T____T You will be dearly missed :(
i’m going to miss her so so so so much! :(
still i’m glad she has time to get more rest!
how sad! :'(
I will miss her so much..
But still glad that hyoyeon unnie will staying at least their will be one member who will entertain us every Sat. Lets support Hyoyeon unnie like how we supported Sunny & Hyo unnie from the 1st ep.,
We Will Miss you Lee Soonkyu <3 (I'm about to cry)
aw man that’s tough but it’s good that they’re also concern about Sunny’s health. can’t have the angel coming to work bone-weary tired to death now, can we? she’s a strong young woman though and surely will be miss. Sunny did very well on the show giving peeps good laughs and encouraging messages. love her always! :) the pic is cute with her and that animal thing (I’m guessing it’s a donkey) ><
this is really sad..i think sunny should be able to voice her opinion about this too, it’s unfair. but it’s still probably for the best..sunny needs her rest now, she’s been so busy. i hope she can rest and continue with snsd with full power^^
yeah, ofcourse, IY would have 5 members and 3 freaking useless MCs (shinyoung might be an exception). the members still don’t really get any close due to the bombarding of guests every weeks, also with all the stupid games. not many of them have a character which is needed for any kind of entertainment. IY2 is nowhere as good as IY1. good job production team.
but anw, i respect Sunny’s decision.
BTW, I miss G7
it brakes my heart actually…..like thousand of pieces….i’m watching IY just because of her..for me sunny is like the representative or model icon of IY so for me if she leave means that there is no “life” in it..i know she’s tired and so on..but yeah~what can we do~i hope she can rest well and have a healthy life..maybe i will stop downloading IY2 from now on………..loving soonkyu forever more :)
So, this is happening again… :(
I didn’t started watching IY2 yet (coz I’m currently watching IY1) but I know how hard it is to leave the show especially when you are attached to the other cast…
Reading this reminds me of SUNBYUNG (Sunny and Hyomin)!
as much as how I would like to complain about the way the production crew handle the show, I hope that Sunny will get the rest she deserves..
she already went through a tough period especially during her musical..
will still support Hyoyeon and the rest of IY cast!!
kudos to Sunny on her job well done!
FIGHTING!
New sub-unit group??
I have same guessing as u….. ^^
i think its the best for both Sunny and the show.. she’s just too tired to be giving us laughs like she did at iy season one and it’s very obvious. Leaving the show will give her a bit more time to rest and save her image as well. Rest well Soonkyu yahh and leave the rest to our energetic Hyoyeon! we always love and support you no matter what.
It is a little sad that she was only there for continuity rather than her greatness. But I suppose I’m glad her insanely busy schedule will be down one activity.
maybe that’s why we never get the impression she is really there…
Don’t worry, Sunny, we’ll watch the Invincible Youth 2 for Hyoyeon and follow you wherever you go. (T___T)
T_T We’ll all miss you Sunny noona <3
I will miss you,soonkyu~shi :'(
No more Sunny ever weekend.. I’ll Miss her… :'(
oh no… well, i hope she does ever-so-well in her individual ventures, as well as sharpening her skills in a more advanced level as compared to her ‘idol’ status. IY will neveer be the same as before, with her leaving along the string of episodes towards the end of the season…
Good luck to her on the days to come :)
Oh my gosh! I’m shocked after seeing even just the headline.
The invincible youth crews are too much making sunny’s fan be broken twice. She left the show before and now as well. My reason of watching the show decrease. But anyway, since Sunny’s already tired, i think that the decision is fine.
Glad to hear that Hyoyeon unnie won’t be leaving.
Sunny unnie I will miss you. :((
T__T So sad. I cried the first time when she left the first season… and now again.
so, the rumors are true after all… T_T
I will really miss Sunny a lot
The reason why I watch IY2 because Sunny and Hyoyeon are there.
Lately Sunny make most of appearance in IY2 and I really love it.
But if the reason of leaving is because she was really tired, then it’s fine so that she can be more healthy.
I will miss Soonkyu a lot T_T
T_T ..
im gonna miss her sooooo much ..
i wish she didn’t have to leave..
i really want to see more of her CCP aegyo..
Im gonna miss soonkyu T_T *tearsfall*
*crys*
Gonna miss her so much
