On June 22nd, T.O.P. Media revealed that idol group TEEN TOP were specially chosen by Lee Hyori to participate in a fashion photoshoot with her for “Arena Homme” magazine.
Representatives revealed, “The photoshoot concept was to pair up Lee Hyori with a younger idol, and Lee Hyori personally chose TEEN TOP. The original plan was to go for an innocent image with the boys being topless, but Lee Hyori took notice of TEEN TOP’s cuter aspects and suggested something fun instead.”
Staff shared that Lee Hyori tried to make the boys feel less nervous about the shoot by playing jokes. In return, TEEN TOP played a ‘make Lee Hyori laugh’ game by pulling out some tricks like singing and dancing to “U Go Girl“, “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang“, and even some old-school Fin.K.L. songs.

F.T. Island's lead vocalist Lee Hong Ki recently went on stage with his fellow group members for "Immortal Song 2." At the most recent recording, contestants were supposed to re-interpret Min Hye Kyung's songs. In it, Lee Hong Ki chose to break away from the typical performance and chose to have all of his group members perform with him even though "Immortal Song 2" does provide its contestants with its own band. Kwon Jae Young PD stated, "F.T. Island performed for Lee Hong Ki. F.T. Island's members wanted to play for their main vocalist themselves, and decided to make special appearances. The response of the audience was also very good."
Also, starting on the 20th, including Lee Hong Ki, 2PM's Junsu and MBLAQ's G.O. joined the cast. In addition, in this episode, Min Hye Kyung praised Junsu and said that he "had a very unique voice color." G.O. also received much praise from the audience for his performance with a tinge of (what seems to have been) dance. Kwon PD said, "The initial contestants put much thought into their performances to differentiate themselves from the new members, and the new members kept each other in check and created a fresh new atmosphere."
On the fourth episode of "Immortal Song 2" to be aired on the 25th, G.O., Hong Ki, Junsu, 2AM's Changmin, SISTAR's Hyorin, and Secret's Song Jieun will be battling it out with the challenge "1992's [Gayo Top Ten] #1 Songs," performing six hit songs of 1992. The episode explained above will be aired as the fifth episode.
