That seems to be the standard procedure.

All she needed was more exposure so I’m happy for her.

She’s lucky.

Chilli pepper powder to the eyes is really dangerous.
That would never fly in the UK/USA without a lawsuit.

Slightly. Not enough to hate on her.
I just find her tolerable.

I haven’t seen Tiffany being called Miyoung recently and so I don’t really know her reaction but obviously with Sunny being known as Soonkyu in the variety world (especially Invincible Youth), it’s probably become like an endearing nickname.

Her timing is always an issue. Otherwise, she’s really cute and fun to watch.

I think they picked Yuri because she was an SNSD member and because she was known for ruining her image a lot whenenver she was separated from her members or her manager… which is always fun to watch and is a ratings-raiser.

In hindsight, Sooyoung and Hyoyeon would probably have been better choices imho. Mostly Sooyoung since she actually proved she could be fit right into the IY family when she guested as a substitute.

I really like her. She tries hard and she’s improving bit by bit. If there is one idol that’s grown in terms of variety skills the most in the G8, she would be my pick.

Bland.

Possibly. That’s why I said she might be hard to see.

I hope not: too much change would be too much. Let Shinyoung try to work her magic on the girls. She succeeded with the first G7, failed with the second G7 and so hopefully she’s learned whatever lessons she needs to learn to make the G8 work.

I have a terrible feeling Amber might be hard to see because of f(x)’s impending Japanese promotions.
