Recently, interviewer Jung Seokhee had the opportunity to ask questions to Hyoyeon and the rest of G5, made up of Jewelry’s Yewon, SISTAR’s Bora, Kara’s Jiyoung, and Miss A’s Suzy, along with other members of the cast of “Invincible Youth 2”. During the interview, Hyoyeon and the other cast members spoke about her confidence, her specialty among the G5, and her cooking skills.
Lee Youngja, an actress, comedian, and one on the MCs of the show, discussed Hyoyeon’s role as the mood-maker, saying, “Hyoyeon makes the atmosphere [fun], but she is the type to say what she has to without being afraid of anyone. It was nice, because she has confidence.”
Jung Seokhee then asked the G5 members about the recent change in the show’s hosts, saying, “‘Invincible Youth 2’ is like a job for G5. As it is a scary senior (translator’s note: he is referring to Lee Youngja) coming in place of a pretty boy (Ji Hyunwoo), I assume you might have felt uneasy on the first day (laugh).”
Hyoyeon answered, “I, too, was worried, but that was very momentary. Right now, I always like it (translator’s note: Hyoyeon is saying she is happy with Lee Youngja joining the show). I like everything.”

Jung Seokhee also asked Hyoyeon what she was the best at doing on “Invincible Youth 2”. With an awkward expression, Hyoyeon replied, “I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing well in.”
Kim Shinyoung came to Hyoyeon’s rescue, saying, “Hyoyeon’s specialty is her instant wit. For instance, even when Youngja mom makes a cheesy joke every now and then, we all laugh it over thanks to Hyoyeon’s wit.”
Hyoyeon then talked about her image on the show. Jung Seokhee asked, “Hyoyeon, are you normally not good at housework? That’s not it, right? You always seem to be getting in trouble with mom (translator’s note: Lee Youngja) while being compared to Bora.”
She answered, “It looks like that, right? I’m actually the best cook amongst the members, but out of nowhere, Youngja mom started pushing me towards [the image of] not being good at [house]work, heuk heuk (translator’s note: crying sounds). However, there isn’t really much reason to come out showing that you do well here, because you’ll just have to work more then (laugh).”

Finally, Jung Seokhee brought up “Dancing with the Stars II”, asking, “When you went between this [show] and MBC’s ‘Dancing with the Stars II’ before, I assume you would have been very tired. Did the ‘Invincible Youth 2’ members give you words of encouragement?”
Hyoyeon revealed, “I’m… not sure. They did send me text messages though. However, even that was after they watched reruns (laughs).”
Boom, another MC on the show, added, “Like when Hyoyeon is doing well, if Youngja noona does something well or if someone has a kiss scene with a guy, we immediately text each other. We encourage, get jealous of, and tease each other. Then there is a fuss during the next meeting.”

oh btw, any1 knows any IY2 stream sites? no dailymotions pls. ><

i’m sorry i’m so late with my reply hyoyeon!
busy with work! :-( but i love you so much!
you have grown on me so much since i became
a fan! i even got in an argument with someone
the other day because they were trying to
fog the image that you have created for yourself.
the image that is so eloquently expressed in
this piece. your modesty gives me butterflies,
because you possess that quality, along with so
many that could cause you to be anything but
modest. oh my hyoyeon…
why is soo hard to streaming in here….indonesia T.T
it’s true that Hyo yeon is not someone that shows-off her skills in this show. I mean, we all know she cooks well from other Soshis and yet she never show it that much. But the natural wit and being funny naturally comes out from her which is even greater than showing off. She does the variety show as if she is just playing and not minding the cameras in front of her.
This article makes me feel so proud of her!:D
I am glad that Hyoyeon seems to have found herself a niche in the show now that Sunny has left her to represent SNSD. I really think that Hyo deserves this and the fact that others see her confidence makes it all better since that means that she is portraying her confidence well. I think this is a great chance for Hyo to grow and learn and expand. I am happy.
Wait, why did Sunny leave, anyway?
@celiamcclr
There were plans for Sunny to leave after the program (IY2) stabilises, because Sunny had to juggle different activities. The reason she was asked to join IY2 from the start might be because a lot of viewers enjoyed watching her in IY1 as well. Notice why Sunny does lesser gags and got lesser screen time from the first few episodes? I guess it might be purposely done so that other members can show more about themselves, and that the entertainment or funny aspect of the show is less reliant on Sunny.
P.S: Most of these were just my personal guess.
I love Hyoyeon in IY2 :D She’s so funny. I like to see her with Young ja mom. She’s the reason I watch this program too. Our dancing queen is jjang ^^
I thought how awkward for Hyoyeon when Sunny left, but now our Dancing Queen really does so great!! I think Hyoyeon is more and more mature, and improving her language skill very well day by day LOL
So love and proud of our Hyoyeon. SNSD KIM HYOYEON HWAITAENG!!!! :x:x:x
She is doing well in IY2…and she is the only reason i watch it. look like she is really attach to mom young ja. but i also hope she is playing n touring more with the guests rather than sitting n cooking.
Forever will support her in IY2 n hope she/snsd will make awesome comeback soon.<33333
cant wait for their teaser image o_O
“However, there isn’t really much reason to come out showing that you do well here” – ahhh this is make me love you more and more hyoyeonah, you’re very humble
