Hyoyeon's Hammer And Nail Job Exceeds Expectations on KBS2 Invincible Youth 2


On the episode of KBS2 Invincible Youth 2 that is to be aired on January 7th, the G8 receive a mission in preparations to welcome animals into their family. They are supposed to clean out the village cow shed and build a new one.

For their latest filming, Hyoyeon was very worried that she has to build a shed from scratch, but during construction, she soaked up what the village adults taught her like a sponge. According to the production crew, the fellow G8 members complimented (at the same time poking fun at) Hyoyeon’s unexpected skills by saying, “You work surprisingly well.” In response to this, Hyoyeon said, “I always worked hard, and I was always an extremely great worker, but people just never noticed.” Hyoyeon got excited and worked especially hard when others complimented her, acting like a “choding”(child). Even when she she hit her hand with the hammer, she apparently went and hammered down all the nails for the shed once she heard “you’re good at hammering.”

Look forward to the Soshisubs version of this episode of KBS2 Invincible Youth 2 and find out more about Hyoyeon.
