[NEWS] Sohyun to participate in KBS New Year Special 'Crown Princess Project'


Singer IU and also other female idols will be taking up the challenge to ‘become the crown princess’.

Together with the new year festivities, KBS has planned a special episode of ‘The Crown Princess Project - Restoring the Royal Family’.

The show will take the form of a comical historical drama. During the Joseon dynasty when picking the crown princess, the marriage prohibition act was put on hold and young women from respectable families were invited to go forward and participate in various tests to select the eventual crown princess. The storyline that the entertainment program borrowed ideas from and it will be an idol version of the recent popular MBC mini-series, “The Sun and the Moon”.

The idols participating in this show are all prominent faces. The cast including IU, T-ara's Boram, Soyeon, Miss A Min, 4minute's Sohyun and others, altogether 12 female idols have been invited. On January 10th, they are filming for the show at the Buan Video Theme Park. The production crew aims to capture their vibrant appearances at an outdoor filming site outside of the stifling studio.

Dressed in hanbok, the female idols laugh in anticipation for what is to come, but of the 12, only 1 will emerge as the final crown princess. The production crew expressed, “It will be a raucous broadcast to heighten the excitement on the national holiday.”

The identity of the crown prince remains a mystery. The crew said, “Even the cast themselves don’t know who he is, but we’ll find out during the broadcast.” The show will be broadcast on Jan 23rd at 7:20 PM.

[BLOG] 4nia (Sohyun)

After the Idol Star Athletics Championships ended, we came back to the dorm. I looked at posts here and there and now I'm writing one ㅎㅎ
Recently I've been thinking that we have to work really hard for the next album to save all you 4nias ㅎㅎ
We have a lot of activities in our schedules so I want to give a lot of hints(?) Is that what it's called? I want to give a lot of those ㅎㅎ
We want to make it so that you can go around saying that you're a 4nia proudly ㅎㅎ Not that you're discouraged to be a 4nia right now ㅎ
Thank you very much to the 4nias who came to the Idol Star Athletics Championships to see us even though we aren't promoting right now
My eyesight isn't that good but I think for the few minutes that I was able to see, I only paid attention to 4nias ㅎㅎ Don't be sad if you couldn't find 4minute ㅜㅜ
I looked around for 4nias even with my eyes slightly open ㅎㅎ I said this before too, right? I see only 4nias in 3D ㅎㅎ
A lot of things happened today but from now on we will pay more attention to our 4nias ㅎㅎ
And there were people today who almost witnessed something scary, but it's a relief that nothing happened..!! (?)
Also you probably saw that our hair colors changed in the article photos today, right? I want to give a lot of hints(?) here and there but..
I'm waiting until things are more precisely set before I tell you ㅎㅎ
Even then you feel that our comeback is slowly approaching, right?ㅎㅎ We are trying our best while recording and preparing so even if it's tiring, please be strong ㅎㅎ ㅎㅎ
4nias are like the kings/queens of patience since you have to wait almost a year for our albumsㅋ Just wait a few more weeks ㅎㅎ
