PD Kwon Jaeyoung stated, "IU, Jonghyung, and Yesung have their own schedules that clashes with 'Immortal Song 2.' Last week's broadcast was IU's final appearance. Yesung and Jonghyun's will have their final appearances on the 3rd episode airing on the 18th."
Idols that are expected to replace the parting idols are FT Island's Lee Hongki, 2PM's Junsu, and Secret's Song Jieun.
A representative from IU's agency also stated that in addition to IU's current schedule for Kim Yuna's "Kiss & Cry" and her MC responsibilities each week for SBS "Inkigayo," IU is also working on her next album that is set to be released in the second half of the year.
Producer Kwon continued,
“I’m sad that we won’t be able to show the original members’ development due to the member changes, however, I’m trying to think optimistically about the fact that more idol stars will be given the opportunity in upcoming episodes and that we have a fluid cast in place. This is inevitable because of their busy schedules and overseas commitments.“
He also revealed,
“Yoseob has an upcoming schedule with B2ST in Japan and his participation is currently under review, but we have already lined up MBLAQ’s G.O to come in should he fail to make it for recording. Also on our list are f(x)’s Luna and miss A’s Min. We are not discounting rookie group members as long as they fit the requirements that our producers are looking for and have outstanding skills. But as always, it will remain a 6-member cast at all times.”
Meanwhile, the second broadcast of “Immortal Song 2″ will air on June 11th.
