KBS’s ‘Immortal Song 2‘ broadcasted its 13th episode on August 27th!
The rundown of ‘Immortal Song 2′ is that each contestant sings unique covers, just like on ‘I Am a Singer‘; however, unlike ‘I Am a Singer’, there are no eliminations to pressure them. The six castmates will instead battle for pride, as the first place winner will judged by a studio audience. Not only that, but the contestants will also receive priceless pointers and tips from the original artists of the songs they cover.
This week’s mission was to perform covers of legendary hit songs by Kim Wan Sun.
With fresh new re-arrangements by the six idols, the audience members and Kim Wan Sun herself were utterly captivated with the potential they showed.
Check out the performance cuts below, and tell us your favourite!

On August 26th, miss A’s Suzy made an appearance on the third season of “Superstar K” to support her contestant Jang So Yeon, who was revealed to be her high school friend.
Suzy appeared in Jang So Yeon’s introduction segment, where they revealed that they’ve been close friends ever since childhood. The show also revealed a short clip of Suzy’s audition for the debut season of “Superstar K”. Jang So Yeon expressed, “We both dreamt of becoming singers.”
Although Suzy failed to reach the next round of the show, she was fortunate enough to catch the attention of a JYP Entertainment employee, who quickly signed her with the agency. The rest is history, as Suzy is now a member of the highly-successful girl group, miss A.
Netizens commented, “Suzy’s old image looks similar to Yoon Eun Hye“, “She looks exactly the same, but her chubby baby fat caught my attention,” and “This is the first time I heard that Suzy had auditioned for ‘Superstar K’.”
Moon Geun Young’s sexy hip hop dance has become a hot topic amongst netizens.

In the video, she sheds her “Nation’s Little Sister” image and became a sexy hip hop dancer. Moon Geun Young pulled some wave and hip movements that had her fans screaming.
She also sang a song while playing the guitar, showing off her endless talents.
Netizens wrote, “She could be a dance singer”, “This is such a shock”, “This dance is captivating”, “She said dancing is a hobby and she really is good”, “It’s so nice that she did this for her fans, not just for anything”, “Crazy hip moves”.

TEEN TOP, who has just made their comeback with their title track, “Don’t Wear Perfume“, recently met with actress Park Bo Young to discuss how much knowledge they have on the ladies.
Bo Young met the boys at their rehearsal room at T.O.P Media Headquarters, and the boys were all smiles as they prepared to being their photo shoot. Although TEEN TOP has been captured in photos donning ladies’ clothing and high heels, in order to find out how much they really knew about women- the shoot was divided into two segments: a Q&A session with Park Bo Young, and a chance for TEEN TOP to teach Park Bo Young their choreography for “Don’t Wear Perfume“.
During the Q&A session, Bo Young asked the boys what actions they would take in order to win the heart of an older woman who only looks at them as a cute younger brother. To which Niel responded, “I think it’s important to show her that as a man, I can lead her, and treat her like the lady she is. For instance, if we go to a movie together, I can pre-select the movie we’re going to watch before arriving.” The rest of the members also agreed.
Changjo, known to be popular with the older ladies responded, “I think it’s very important to be good to her, but every once in awhile you should play hard to get… just to keep her interested,” sharing his expertise with his fellow TEEN TOP members.
In the next segment, Bo Young had a chance to learn the “Don’t Wear Perfume” dance from the TEEN TOP boys themselves. She was praised to be a quick learner, as she aced the moves perfectly all within ten minutes. The TEEN TOP boys were also impressed to find that Bo Young knew all the lyrics to their songs and expressed their gratitude.
A behind-the-scenes look at Chunji’s candid camera <TEEN TOP & Park Bo Young’s “Shall We Dance?”> will be available to the public on August 11 via ‘The Star‘ main homepage.
Super Junior, the leading men of the Hallyu wave, have finally returned to home base on MBC’s Music Core to promote their fifth official album. Though their lead track may be titled, “Mr. Simple“, the unique performance they’ve put on tonight is anything but!
The group have once again rocked the stage with a powerful, energetic choreography. Since the lyrics for “Mr. Simple” express society’s loss of motivation and dreams due to their overly-complicated lifestyles, Super Junior decided to deliver flashy visuals to match their message.
Meanwhile, Heechul tweeted a photo before their comeback stage, “Our thankful SNSD dongsengs, who came to cheer for us on Music Core!! Right now is Girls’ Generation!! We are Super Junior!!.”
Without further ado, check out the performance below (which also includes “Superman“)!

Perfect special lady that everyone envies
Has surely more happiness than others.
It won’t change no matter where in the world.
You are my only everything.
Is it because I’m too kind or young?
Your mood says it all.

I am aware, but I can’t face it.

Is it because I’m too kind or young?
I understand it all from this atmosphere
And I think I’m gonna hate it girl, it’s surely not long.
But I’ll search for you again.

I can’t take this anymore
I’m going to take care of this somehow
I don’t know anything but your old style
If I were to produce you, do you have any idea how cool you can be?
Come on, come out from the classroom,
From the office desk, from your uncleaned room
Sunglasses protecting my eyes from the hot,
Blinding, slightly stinging sunlight rays
The tingling feeling of biting the ice in your mouth
The sky is clear and blue
Hot Summer Ah Hot Hot Summer
Hot Summer Ah Hot Hot so hot
Hot Summer Ah Hot Hot Summer
Hot Summer Ah Hot Hot, this is definitely my taste
Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer Hot Hot Hot Hot
Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer Hot Hot Hot Hot
Even if it isn’t the Malibu beach
The waves still sparkle like gold dust
I brush off my feet before entering an ice cream shop
With uninteresting gossip broadcasting on the TV
Come on let’s play in the water from the Han River
And at the water park in the east sea
Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer Hot Hot Hot Hot

Hot Summer Ah Hot Hot, this is definitely my taste
Let’s show the sweating foreigners here
If it’s too hot, wear something black and long
Yeah! It must be burning
Cause I got you sweating in this weather
All them heads be turning, true that
You know I got it
Sunglasses protecting my eyes from the hot,
Blinding, slightly stinging sunlight rays
The tingling feeling of biting the ice in your mouth
The sky is clear and blue
