Hwanhee is just unfortunate enough to be the most recent example - Sometimes, not often, I end up watching one of those music shows live, and if I don't have anything else to occupy myself with when a song like that comes on I panic. There's just nothing there.

Maybe not exclusively Korean, but the very earnest sadness seems to be present in so many of these. The Gummy one is less disinctly Korean I guess.

Sunny is my favorite k-pop star! She's the only one returning for season 2 of Invincible Youth (this november), as the group leader. Feels like any moment she wants to take control of she will take control of, ad-lib skills unsurpassed, confidence to the point where she hangs back for periods of time to let her other members show off, offering her expertise if an awkward silence looms.

Anyway, she ran that show and when she quit some ways into the first season it sorta fell apart. No wonder they had to hook her back in.
