He thanked Siwon for his many generosities and he said that of all the entertainers he’s ever met, Siwon is the most gentle, sweet, and handsome one
according to the boy’s anecdote, when he was discouraged due to his awkward recording Siwon personally came to the boy’s waiting room and genially cheered him up with having his joke.
even Siwon remembered the boy singing Beatles and performing with SJ 3 years ago (the first pic)
and the boy also said that Siwon is noted for his thoughtful consideration, modest attitude, and kindheartedness to children in the entertainment industry.

Q: How long did you all take to nurture the chemistry in the group since most of the members come from different countries and regions?
HG: We actually know each other during our trainee period and at that time we had our vocal, dance and other kind of training together. After being grouped together, we bonded through various performances and it was about half a year when we really knew each, we could understand what each of us is thinking through by just looking.
Q: Besides performing together, what else do you do in your free time?
ZM: Actually the 7 of us live together, our schedule is really packed and all of us feel that we are living to the fullest. However, we are already used to such life, the 7 of us living together made each other very happy and we also treat each other with sincerity and care, after performance had ended, we will also go out and eat and relax, giving each other opinions when we go out and shop, its very meaningful to live together.
Q: Who is the most hyper member?
HG: I think its Henry, he is the youngest and the cutest, curious about everything and also the most active one in the group. Of course Zhou Mi is one of the hyper ones, he always makes everybody laugh, changes his attitude a lot too, causing everyone to find it hard to figure out his what kind of person he is.
Q: What kind of group do you think you are?
SW: Idol group HG: A lot of people say we are the Asia Idol Group RW: of course an idol group KH: An Idol group with talents
Q: How long do you wish to have the title of Asia Idol Group? What kind of efforts will you make?
ZM: maintain it well HG: yes, he maintains it really well and Ryeo Wook slimmed down a lot DH: Kyu Hyun even had a new hairstyle, doesn’t he looks younger? (Talking about their taking care of physical appearance, word play with chinese word) HG: Besides taking care of our physical appearance and idol image, the most important is the market, we wish to be an idol group with great qualities and potential.
Q: Then how would you maintain your youthful spirit? Any way to achieve it?
HG: Actually i never really take care of such aspect, I’m those that would gain and lose weight easily like a balloon, when i return home(China) i would gain weight, because there’s so many irresistible food for me to eat SW: Im also the type that gain weight easily, hence i need to exercise to maintain my built ZM: We need to take care of our skin, especially when we are tired, our skin ages easily, facial mask is a good method in taking care our skin, of course, i think maintaining a positive attitude is very important, everyday must be happy, naturally we will look young and leave people a good impression. HG: Yes, our daily schedule is always fully pack, maintaining a positive attitude is really important
Q: Among the members, what is everyone’s special talent?
HG: Everyone is skillful, i admire Henry, he knows how to play a lot of musical instruments, like piano, violin. Zhou mi also have very high hosting/emceeing skills, Dong Hae is practicing composing, Kyu Hyun plays the computer game, always passing the level easily. KH: No, i like to read SW: He likes to read books that introduce computer games (laugh) HG: The song Ryeo Wook composed is included in our latest mini album, Siwon is the type with a lot of passion, so he acts really well, my forte maybe dancing, but if possible, i would like to be an invincible super man!
Q: Which member do you think changed the most during the growth of the group? HG: i think its Henry
Henry: I think the loneliness when you leave your home is the most heartfelt these few years, and probably it is one of the reasons which caused me to mature a lot, because in Korea i have to handle stuff on my own and also have to learn to take care myself. HG: Yes, every SJ-M member experienced the hard feeling of leaving behind their family members.

Merry Christmas . An unpleasant Christmas.. Why do tough things always happen.. only to those guys.. For me too..no..for all people..the guys and the people surrounding them all…. not starting from 2010..but from today if there could please not be any bad day anymore and if the new year were filled with good days only… it would be good..it’s my only thought… Santa Claus! My wish is only one… just…..please listen to me..all of them have a lot on their mind right now and with their aching heads they must be upset and anxious. It feels as if my head’s blank..and I’m so upset and as I look at the news about them..I feel heartbroken and strange inside.. Please don’t fail to listen..to my little wish.. I continuously receive bad news. I feel so so strange..it’s like I can feel only angrier for not knowing what I could do. Please.. by all means please help the guys be able to go back on stage again looking amazing and with a smile. I too will be incessantly praying. Now the guys can’t speak of their anxious feelings anywhere yet..as they’re upset.. they don’t even have anyone with whom they can share what they hold in their tired minds.. I will go and conclude this entry..with the sincere hope.. that they will be standing again in front of all the people who love them as soon as possible.. I wish for everyone’s days to be filled with only laughter ALWAYS!starting from today. The days got much colder. Beware of colds everyone. If you always pray without losing hope..that thought will definitely..happen!! Don’t worry please…the bigger the longing the more likely it will be achieved for sure..so..cheer up and keep your chin up E.L.F too..if everyone worrying for those guys longs for them they will definitely come back in good shape.. Anyway..in a few hours..it’s going to be December 24th Christmas Eve. Lately we’ve all been going through tough times and we’re upset and anxious and we’ve had a lot on our minds and we’ve been too tired!
Nevertheless..Merry Christmas….

Part 01:
- Each member randomly picks a piece of paper with "tasks" written on it that they must do for Patty (Siwon has to find a way to make her laugh, Henry has to dance with her, Ryeowook has to tell Patty he loves her, Kyuhyun has to give her a massage, Zhoumi has to find a way to get Patty to say he's "shuai" ("handsome" or "cool"), Hangeng will play a prank on her). - Hangeng and Zhoumi joke around because Zhoumi thinks his task will be pretty easy. - Siwon tells them not to worry. - Hangeng wonders how they'll pull off the prank -- "who should we get to fight each other?" (then they speak in Korean...so yeah. Anyone know what the Chinese subs are?) - Patty introduces the group. She's afraid of saying each of their names because she thinks the screaming that will follow will damage her hearing. - RW says "I love you" to Patty during his intro. - Patty asks what kind of girls Donghae likes and he says they have to have a pretty forehead. Patty's like "Hm, is mine too much of a fivehead?" lol. Then he adds "big eyes, long hair, curly is okay". Henry says Donghae means Patty fits that type. - Patty says Hangeng had the hardest time because he was the first Chinese member to go to Korea to train. She asks him to help translate because his Korean is the best. Hangeng says it was hard doing promotions in China at first due to the language barrier (he and Zhoumi were translating a lot and it was difficult), but now the rest of the members can understand and speak Chinese better so it's not a big deal. They can follow along and know what the general discussion is about. Donghae agrees and says he can slowly listen and guess what's being said. Patty mentions that the first time they met, only Hangeng and Siwon could communicate in Chinese. She compliments Siwon, but he goes "Oh no, no, no..." Patty then suggests that the fastest way to improve their Chinese is to find a Chinese girlfriend, and Siwon says, "Well, what do you think of us??" Patty's like "OHKAY, moving on" lol - The next activity involves them writing down random questions they want to ask each other on dry-erase boards. Patty asks them to raise their hands if they have a girlfriend, but no one does. Henry says he's looking for one though haha.
Part 02:
- Hangeng says he teaches the members some of the phrases they say to fans in Chinese, like "wo qin ai de bao bei men" and "wo te (zhei) xiang ni" ("I'm super thinking about you/thinking about you a lot" or something?), which is something people say where he's from. - Ryeowook is the first to be asked a question, but he's not ready so Hangeng teaches Patty how to say "no problem" in Korean. I think Hangeng gets annoyed that RW's taking so long hehe. So anyway, Hangeng's question to RW is "Why do you always want me to take you out to dinner?" RW giggles, but I don't know what he's saying. Patty asks if it's because Hangeng is the leader, so he has to provide for and pay for their meals, but Hangeng's says no, that's not how it works. - Hangeng's question to Zhoumi is "Do you really think you're shuai?" Zhoumi's like "umm YEAH". Then they talk about how he got into the group. Zhoumi's friends sent in tapes of him singing in Korean to a contest they were holding in Korea, so that's how he got involved. Patty and him agree that it was fate. - Hangeng and Zhoumi joke around some more about the shuai thing, and Patty asks who HG thinks is the most handsome. He thinks ZM is quite handsome and wants to know who Patty thinks is hot. She doesn't wanna answer, but thinks all together they're very cool and good-looking when they're singing and dancing. Patty also wants them to teach her some of their dance moves. - HG's question to Henry is "Did you shower last night?" Henry says he did, but HG thinks Henry is one of those people who doesn't like showering. Henry's excuse is that he's so tired usually from performing that he just skips it and sleeps. HG says "The concerts aren't scheduled that close together [so he should find time to bathe]", hahha but Henry shushes out of embarrassment. Meanwhile, RW is shaking his head in the back :D but then he admits he saw Henry shower that morning (Patty says, not together I hope hah) - Kyu's question to Hangeng is "Are you my Hangeng?" HG says he belongs to everyone. They say it's an inside joke and Hangeng always says "NO" when KH asks him. - Kyu's question to Henry is "Why do you act so 'sha' (dumb)" (loose translation) He clarifies that he means "like a dumb little kid." Kyu then wants to give Patty a massage. - Donghae's next and he rushes to sit next to Patty. Patty says she can tell he really likes Siwon from what's written on his board.
Part 03:
- Patty points out all of the stars he wrote all over Siwon's name. DH's question to Siwon is "When are you gonna buy me a Playstation?" Patty says "Oh, it's cause he's rich right? His family is quite wealthy because they own a convenience store chain." Siwon gets really embarrassed, but says he'll buy it for DH when they get back to Beijing. The story behing the Playstation thing is that after an awards show in 2008, they were drinking Baijiu (Chinese hard liquor), but DH was reluctant to drink it, so Siwon promised to get him a Playstation console if DH tried some. Patty's like "So if I drink some, can you buy me something too?" - DH's question to ZM is "Why is your face so big? Haha, kidding. You're still very/most shuai." Super-vain ZM DID NOT LOOKED PLEASED. Patty then asks do you mean he's very ("hen") shuai or the most ("zui") shuai, because he used both in the sentence and it doesn't make sense together. DH thinks about it and goes with "very" or "hen" (not the most LMAO). ZM still looks mad. - Then Hangeng says to excuse him, he has to discuss something with the rest of the members for a second. *they speak in Korean* HG pretends to look upset. - They keep going with the activity. RW asks Siwon something in Korean. Siwon then tries to get Patty to laugh, so he says "You're very pretty in Taiwan." Patty's like, "But I'm not when I go to Hong Kong?" lol - Questions from fans: "If you guys had little sisters, which members would you approve of them having as boyfriends?" "What's your most unforgettable birthday?" "I love you SJM, give me back my money, and marry me (wtf)" "What do you think is the sexiest thing about Patty?" "When were the most angry?" "Hangeng, can you perform a traditional dance?" "Any funny stories from when you guys go out drinking?" "What kind of girls do you guys like?" "Siwon, do you like this pic of Kyu?" (Sorry I couldn't catch all of the questions!) - Patty expresses how moved she would be if she were in their position, having so many fans from different places encouraging them. Hangeng agrees and says they feel very happy that all of their hard work had not been in vain. - Question to RW: "Which member would you choose as your little sister's boyfriend?" He chooses Siwon. Why? HG says "It's 'cause he's rich!" RW says it's because he thinks Siwon is a kind-hearted person and "clean" haha. Hangeng says "Oh yeah, what about me??" Zhoumi says Kyu is probably the worst choice because he's always playing games and will ignore his girlfriend.
Part 04:
- Kyu admits he plays games a lot, but says if he were to have one, she would be his everything and his princess~~ Patty says they'll know the day he finally gets a girlfriend when he puts down his gaming stuff. - So this is when HG starts getting annoyed. I love how Patty immediately starts freaking out and speaking in English to Henry. The reason they give her for the tension is that the filming is taking a lot time due to translation and communication isues and they had a lot scheduled to begin with. Patty is worried it's because it's something she said, but their manager denies it. - They laugh and discuss the prank backstage in Korean. Hangeng says in Chinese "Wow everyone really does think I'm angry!" - They all go back to the interview area where Patty is and explain that Hangeng is a bit frustrated, so they'll continue without him. Haha, Patty is such a good sport! She wants them to teach her the Sorry Sorry dance, and Henry says "I'll do it, I'll dance with you!" in order to fulfill his task. He wants to teach her the Super Girl dance instead though. She asks RW to show her the Sorry Sorry dance. Then they all dance to Super Girl together. - HG says something like "Are you guys coming out? What are you even clapping about?" omg, he's scary when he's mad...HAWT - Patty doesn't hear him say that though, so HG comes out and calls the members away. They apologize to her and go backstage again. - Happy Birthday to Patty!!
Part 05:
- Patty's like "I was so scared!" She thanks everyone, including SJM and her crew, while breaking out in tears. DH acts like he wants to smush the cake into her face. - She continues saying that she was really scared and that their acting was very believable. HG said that DH even admitted being scared speechless by his act. Then they eat cake and reveal the tasks they were supposed to do with her (the massage, dancing, making her laugh, etc.) Patty says she was afraid she had drawn out the interview too long, but HG reassures her and tells her she is patient/even-tempered. - a clip of RW teaching Patty their dance moves while most of the members were backstage with HG during their prank - Donghae asks how old she is turning, but she wants him to guess. He thinks she's 28 now, but he's wrong (she just turned 30 I think) - Haha, Patty is still stunned by what happened and compliments their acting again. Henry thought HG really was mad though until they reminded him backstage it was a prank lol. Apparently Kyu was also fooled and asked Hangeng the same thing in an earlier video (pointed to me by [info]proleptical, thanks!) - The next ep will have SJM cooking for Patty's birthday. - OMG Hangeng's dumplings!!

On Invincible Youth, Christmas couple Sunny and Son Hoyoung showed off their close relationship.
On the Christmas special that aired on December 25th, Son Hoyoung was one of the male guests that was invited to have a party with the G7.
When Son Hoyoung showed up, the G7 members (SNSD's Yuri and Sunny, Kara's Goo Hara, Brown Eyed Girls' Narsha, T-Ara's Hyomin, 4Minute's Hyunah, and Secret's Sunhwa) showed wild enthusiasm. Sunny and Hyomin were especially enthusiastic.
Son Hoyoung said, "Honestly, I wanted to come out on Invincible Youth because of Sunny. She shouted out really loud that she wanted to see me."
In selecting couples, Son Hoyoung chose Sunny. After the couple game, they were to make a traditional drink together. All the couples had to choose a number of a box, and had to guess what they will have to make the drink out of by touching it with their hands.
Sunny and Son Hoyoung chose a box with mudfish in them. The mudfish were slippery to get a hold of, and the couple ended up holding hands. After having a hard time, Sunny finally got a hold of one. When she took it out as if it was nothing, it surprised all the people around.
When Son Hoyoung noticed there was something on Sunny's hand, and he wiped it off with his own hands. G7 members were envious and jealous of the couple's body contact.
Meanwhile in other parts of the show, Kim Shinyoung sang "Obese Rain" parodying Kim Taewoo's "Love Rain," and uplifted the Christmas mood.
