The complete cast for the new season of KBS' variety program "Invincible Youth" has been revealed, according to its major broadcaster on Tuesday.

KBS announced through a press release that Girls' Generation members Sunny and Hyoyeon, KARA's Kang Ji-young, miss A's Suzy, f(x)'s Amber, SISTAR's Bora, Rainbow's Woori and Jewelry's Ye-won have been cast as the 'G8' in the second season of "Invincible Youth" which will premiere on November 12.

"We decided to cast Suzy and Ji-young since they are popular locally and internationally and we feel that they will show a different side to themselves being the youngest members of the cast," an official with the show was quoted as saying.

"Bora and Amber were the next choice since they were never regular guests on any entertainment programs and it will be interesting to see Amber adjust to the traditional Korean village culture."

The official went onto explain that Woori has shown strong characteristics while Ye-won has a fearless personality.

"We have also decided to bring back Sunny since she showed such warmth in the first season and Hyoyeon was an strong candidate because of her popularity in Asia and Europe."

Meanwhile, comedian Lee Su-geun, TV personality Boom and actor Ji Hyun-woo have been selected as the main hosts to the show.

"Invincible Youth” is a variety program based on members of popular girl groups experiencing the rural countryside of Korea.

The first season featured Brown Eyed Girls' Narsha, Secret's Han Sun-hwa, 4minute's Hyun-a, T-ara's Hyomin, Girls' Generation members Sunny and Yuri and KARA's Hara.
