No problem for SNSD to survive on an unoccupied island
On KBS 2TV ‘Entertainment Weekly’ aired on June 25th, a survey to find out stars who could survive on an unoccupied island was conducted.
From the result of the survey, SNSD were placed at no.1 and there was a valid reason for it. Since they received lots of love from the soldiers, the girls have the support of the soldiers at their disposal.
On the other hand, Lee SooGeun from KBS 2TV’s ‘Happy Sunday – 1 Night 2 Days’ took the no.2 spot. Lee SooGeun through his role in ’1 Night 2 Days’, gave a deep impression that he is someone who could thrive well in the wilderness.
