“5 Pieces is loved wherever they go, and I can understand why,” she started to tell. “They are very down to earth and no matter what country you are from, they manage to fit in somehow.

HEADLINE 19TH: UNSEEN CLIPS SHOWS AT FINAL EPISODE OF BEST OF 5! PIECES REVEALS THEIR YOUTHFUL PROFESSIONALISM

For the final episode of the popular variety program “Best of 5! Pieces”, hosted by 5 Pieces, they only showed unseen scenes from the past episodes. The scenes showed a lot of hilarious clips of not just 5 Pieces, but also their guests, and also other sides as well as a special performance of 5 Pieces doing DBSK’s [Balloons] in a very cute and charming way.

Fans have taken a lot of notice of these unseen clips. The close friendship between 5 Pieces and some of the other artists that was showed in the unseen clips are taken really precious for the fans. But something people took more notice of was the cuteness of 5 Pieces and also their professionalism when it came to recording.

Several of the scenes in the episode showed 5 Pieces when they weren’t recording, and even when fooling around off-camera, the girls were still going through what to do on today’s program. They were sitting at the set with the producers, going through the program; one clip also showed the girls fooling around by running here and there, and coming up with ideas at the same time.

For having guests on each episode, 5 Pieces treated their guests very warmly even when they weren’t filming. Clips of them talking with the guest artists and it does seem like they all get along pretty well. Everyone already knows that SHINee and 5 Pieces are close, but the clips of them together were really lovably.

And even when the girls were tired they seemed to make a good atmosphere for the staff. A clip from when they dressed out for [Balloons] they were making the staff laugh a lot in the outfits, and they were having a lot of fun as well when f(x) were guests on the program.

When f(x) was guests on the program they had a pretty high-rating game called ‘card-kissing’. For fans who loved to see that in the actual program will love to see the backstage clip that shows how embarrassed the two groups were to play that game.

Best of 5! Pieces has been seen as one of the best programs the last half of 2011, so there are thousand of fans who are sad it’s final episode has aired. But 5 Pieces will probably keep showing their youthful professionalism in their own way in the future.
