'Invincible Youth 2' will be undergoing some changes soon!

With its recent time slot change, KBS2's 'Invincible Youth 2' will also go through program and format changes, which includes a change in its member line-up.

Starting April 7th, 'Invincible Youth 2' will begin airing at 5:15PM KST. It was originally broadcast at 11:05pm but with the cancellation of 'Birth of a Family,' it will take over the latter's time slot. With the change, it will now compete against SBS' 'Star Junior Show' and MBC's 'We Got Married.'

'Birth of a Family' has been slow in the ratings department and 'Invincible Youth 2' is not garnering the same interest that it had in its first season, so there is concern about where the show is headed.�

Because of this a staff member said that starting April there will be a format change as well as a change in its MC and G8 members.

Staff member CP Kim Ho Sang commented, "With the time change, there will be a change in the program structure and the MC and girl group members.�But there is nothing set for certain and we are still discussing the matter."

Seems like a lot of plans will be revealed on April 7th.

Update #5

Star News has confirmation from Sidus HQ that Kim Shin Young has signed on and will record her first episode for "Invincible Youth 2" starting next Wednesday, April 4th. Kim Shin Young was a big success on the previous season with her great entertainment sense and chemistry with the cast members.

It was also revealed that Kim was actually asked to helm "Invincible Youth 2" from the start. But because it clashed with her schedule as a fixed cast for MBC's "Quiz that Changes the World" which also aired on Saturday night, she had to decline. But with the new time slot for "Invincible Youth 2" set for Saturday afternoon, it was now a possibility with KBS moving quickly to sign her on.
