SNSD and 2NE1 on Complex Music's 25 Sexiest International Singers You've Never Heard Of!

These days, American radio is saturated with Carly Rae Jepsen, Rihanna and other female superstars who are probably under the age of 25. Not that we’re complaining, but once you find yourself mouthing the lyrics to “Call Me Maybe,” you know you need to start listening to something else.

After witnessing Yuna perform at SOBS for Hot 97, we knew just where to look for new material: overseas.

Hyoyeon makes a funny mistake on ‘Invincible Youth 2′

Girls’ Generation‘s Hyoyeon made a critical mistake in the latest episode of KBS‘s ‘Invincible Youth 2‘.

On the May 12th broadcast, actor, Chung Jung Myung guest-featured on the show.  One of the scenes showed the G6 members planting rice along with the guest actor.

At the beginning of the show, MC Boom opened up by saying, “A very special male actor will be appearing” which had the G6 girls waiting in high anticipation.  Even before Chung Jung Myung made his appearance, the girls began brainstorming all sorts of names in excitement.  They brought up the names of actors, Lee Jae Hoon, Yoo Ah In, Lee Min Ki, and more.

However, Hyoyeon made a cute mistake when she guessed, “Is it Chun Myung oppa?  Chun Myung Hoon“.  Boom and comedian, Kim Shin Young corrected her as they said, “You mean Chun Jung Myung“.  The other members laughed at her careless mistake.

Her cute ‘mistake’ begins at approximately 3:30:

Sunny’s ‘aegyo’ evokes hilarious fury on ‘Invincible Youth 2′

Girls’ Generation member Sunny‘s ‘aegyo’ was not well received on ‘Invincible Youth 2‘.

On the May 12th episode of ‘Invincible Youth 2′, actor Gong Hyung Jin who is known to be an avid fan of the program guest-featured to spend some time with the G6 members.

Gong Hyung Jin proved that was a huge fan of the show by revealing his knowledge including the personalities of the girls, their exact filming locations, the names of the animals they raise on the show, and more.

Member Sunny decided that she would provide an extra special welcoming to the show with her excessive ‘aegyo’, but it was not well-received by Gong Hyung Jin. He then hilariously playfully grabbed her and remarked, “This is what you call aegyo that evokes collar-grabbing!”

All jokes aside, the actor had previously selected Sunny as the G6 member he most wanted to meet, and he fully expressed his affectionate nature towards her, proving that he was a true ‘uncle fan’.

The funny segment begins at approximately 6:06:
