“Right Now, Psy’s Generation”

Psy is one happy man!

The man who was enlisted twice in the army is well known for his unique and energetic stage performance. On SBS Inkigayo aired on November 28th, his performance was even more special, with the support of 8 pretty angels, doing the arrow dance at the end of his performance, “Right Now”.

After his performance, Psy updated his me2day with a new post entitled, “므..훗!!! (￣▽￣)” and attached a group photo of himself and SNSD members.

Psy’s adoration for SNSD is not something new. Once, he was asked about his favorite girlgroup while he was serving in the army. Psy replied, “SNSD is a religion in the army”. He also mentioned that Yuri is his favorite member in SNSD.

With that photo, Psy could go around and boast “Jigeumun Psyshidae!”

SNSD’s Tae Yeon reflects on her most interesting fan experience in Japan

SNSD’s Tae Yeon shared some memories from the group’s Japanese promotions during her appearance on KBS 2TV’s “Nocturnal Variety” on November 28th.

Tae Yeon revealed, “We have an unusual amount of Japanese fans that see us and begin to cry. One fan I remember in particular grabbed my arm and just began crying. I began wondering if her back was hurting so I asked her if she was okay. It turns out that she was just asking me to autograph her back!”

When asked by the MC how popular the group is in Japan, Hyo Yeon replied, “It’s crazy over there! You can see people copying our exact outfits, makeup, and even our hair colors.”

Yuri added, “There are a lot of fans that cosplay as us when we go perform. It’s impressive because we can see SNSD concepts from three months ago all the way to three years ago.”

SNSD’s Jessica expresses her affection for SHINee’s Onew

SNSD’s Jessica expressed her affection for SHINee’s Onew on the November 28th episode of KBS 2TV’s “Nocturnal Variety.”

Fellow member Hyo Yeon first began talking about Onew in comparison to the traits of her ideal man, by stating that he fit only two of her three desired traits, the third being humor.

Jessica retorted, “Onew is so nice and caring. It doesn’t matter if he’s not humorous because I’m not humorous either,” showing her affectionate feelings for him.

She continued, “Onew and I sang a duet song together once. I like people that sing well, and Onew sings well and has a nice voice.”

The two then went on to sing their duet song on the spot, leading MC Shin Dong Yeob to comment, “Jessica never took her eyes off of Onew the entire time they were singing.”

Jessica gave her characteristically chic reply, “Well, I see him every day so of course I stare at him while singing.”

SNSD won 4th K-Chart award for “Hoot”

The girls did it again! K-Chart award no.12 of the year for SNSD and they have bettered last years achievement where they clinched 11 awards. The girls topped the chart with 13,247 points, about 2,000 points in front of Beast who took the second place.

Last Friday (Nov.26th), the show was canceled and the results were published today. Here are the results:

It will be an uphill task for Soshi to maintain the no.1 spot for this coming week but it’s not impossible because our girls can climb really high as in the pictures below:

CF Director, Yuri VS Dorky CF Actresses

..and of course, no one listened to her. Being the ‘Director’, I guess Yuri had a hard time dealing with the rebellious and mischievous actresses.

The short video clip (from MBC Section TV aired on November 28th) gives you a glimpse of their latest Goobne CF shoot and judging from their hairstyles,the shoot must have taken place during or just before the “Hoot” promotion.

Let’s take a look at how Yuri dealt with these dorky actresses:

SNSD won Triple Crown for “Hoot”, joined Psy on stage

SNSD sealed their promotion of “Hoot” with an explosive success. It’s sad to know that “Hoot” promotion lasted only about 5 weeks. Nonetheless, within that short period of time, the girls managed to make a big impact to the music industry.

With the win, Soshi have successfully won their 2nd Triple Crown on SBS Inkigayo this year. Right before Kara’s “Jumping” performance, fans were entertained by a splendid performance by Psy, who had 8 extra dancers doing the arrow dance. They are none other than Soshi and it came to a surprise to everyone watching the show. Nonetheless, it was really HOT!

Kara who were also in the Take 7 congratulated SNSD sincerely for the Triple Crown victory. It was such an awesome sight as they hugged and gave a pat on the back to one another.

As usual, the girls thanked their company, family, friends and SONEs for every achievements. The girls once again showed that they felt the ‘void’ left by Tiffany due to her injury. During the winning speech, Jessica said, “We hope that Tiffany who is not on stage with us today would be well soon and be with us again. Fany, get well soon“.

If you happen to miss the performances, you have some catching-ups to do then. No worries because here are the awesome performances:

SNSD’s Seo Hyun discusses her first drinking experience

The innocent maknae of SNSD, Seo Hyun, recently divulged about her first drinking experience with the other members since she turned of age.

During a recording of KBS 2TV’s night variety show, ‘Nocturnal Habits’, SNSD began the story by explaining that at the time, they were at their dorms in Japan when the group celebrated Hyo Yeon’s birthday party. When the members were playing drinking games, Seohyun had to drink alcohol as punishment for losing.

However Seo Hyun refused to drink, and the members purposely sounded annoyed and asked her why she even joined in on the game if she wasn’t going to drink. It was when Seo Hyun suddenly stood up and stormed off into her room by herself that the members began to worry whether their joke “went too far.”

At that moment, Seohyun suddenly burst out of her room crying, downed the whole glass in one shot, and went back into her room. Soo Young imitated what Seo Hyun did on set, which made the whole cast burst into laughter.

The full episode, scheduled to broadcast on November 28th, will continue explaining the reason why Seo Hyun did not want to drink.

Yuri gave the deepest impression to Eun Hyuk

On KBS 2TV’s “Night Star” which will be aired at 11.15pm KST on November 28th, Super Junior’s Eun Hyuk and SNSD members talked about their first impressions of one another.

Hyo Yeon said, “During trainee days, I was really nervous when I first met Eun Hyuk. He would greet me in an honorific manner when we met at the rehearsal room”.

Eun Hyuk explained, “SNSD gave me a strong impression, especially Yuri who made the dinosaur-like noises during her pre-debut days” He also mentioned that before debut, the trainees would have to prepare for their personal repertoires every week and it involved singing and dancing. Eun Hyuk added, “Yuri then made an impersonation of ‘dinosaur voice’ by mistake on one of the entertainment programs”.

Upon hearing that, Yoona revealed, “At that time, besides the dinosaur-like noise, Yuri also did other weird impersonations as well”. Yuri then was asked to reenact those weird and wacky impersonations.

Lee Jong Seok's interview about Yoona & Hyoyeon

He became close to many trainees while he was training to become an idol. He has friends in pretty much every group. In particular he has a close friendship with SNSD's Hyo Yeon and Yoong.

"I met Hyo first through a close hyung(older friend) when SNSD just made their debut. I then got to know Yoong through Hyo Yeon." [ I omitted this part out-non SNSD related]

Q: What does Lee Jongseok do when meeting up with SNSD friends...?

"Like everybody else. We go to a cafe to drink coffee and chit chat. We also go to board game rooms. In Hyo's case, she likes to walk, so I walk with her often wearing our caps really low."

In Yoong's case, she is more of a prankster then he thought. He has been frustrated before b/c she is quite different from the clean image that she appears on TV.

"When I would call Hyo, suddenly someone else would pick up the phone. Yoong would play a joke on me by imitating Teacher Jun Wonjoo. At first, I was duped and it was hard to accept, but nowadays, it's ok."

Soo Young revealed SNSD’s reactions towards medicine

Soo Young revealed some peculiar incidents about the girls.

Recently, during the recording of KBS 2TV’s late night variety show ‘Night Star’, Soo Young confessed that she helps SNSD members to organize their roundworm medicine (for prevention purpose) once in every 6 months.

Soo Young said, “As there are so many of us, I often get confused about who’s taking the medicine and who’s not. Therefore,I would carefully write down their names next to the medicine”. Soo Young also revealed that among the members, Tae Yeon and Jessica hate taking the roundworm medicine the most. According to her again, to ensure that they really take the medicine, one will have to watch them closely from the moment they have the pills in their hands, with a glass of water up to the moment they swallow the pills.

Jessica on the other hand, would come up with excuses not to take the medicine. Sooyoung explained that other members would take their medicines when they catch a cold but not Jessica. Once, she refused to take the tablet and said, “I’m only this sick. It would eventually go away”.

Want to hear more stories about the girls? Make sure you catch them at KBS 2TV’s “Night Star” on November 28th at 11.15pm KST.

Why did Seo Hyun cry at Hyo Yeon’s birthday party?

Seo Hyun revealed the story about herself crying and drinking in SNSD’s dorm in Japan.

On KBS 2TV’s “Night Star”, Seo Hyun unveiled her story amidst the discussion about Hyo Yeon’s birthday party in their dorm in Japan. During the party, the members played a game among themselves and maknae, Seo Hyun was asked to take alcoholic drink as a ‘penalty’. Knowing that Seo Hyun does not take alcoholic drinks, the members deliberately asked her to drink more. Out of a sudden, Seo Hyun got up and went straight to her room.

Upon seeing Seo Hyun’s action, the members started to feel worried about her. Seo Hyun who was crying then opened the door, and carried out the ‘penalty’ by finishing off the alcoholic drink. After that, she went straight back to her room and cried again. Upon hearing Seo Hyun’s story, Soo Young lighted up the atmosphere by cracking a joke about Seo Hyun’s unexpected behavior.

What was the reason for Seo Hyun’s behavior? Don’t worry. The answer will be revealed on November 28th at 11.15pm KST.

SNSD Interview with Elle Girl Magazine

Yuri

Q: Your specialty?
A: Swimming. Above all, I'm best with the butterfly. I also do diving.

Q: What do you want to do in Japan?
A: I've already been to Shibuya and Shinjuku, so instead of shopping I want to go to a hot spring. I want to go to Hakone or if it's in the middle of winter, I want to see Sapporo's snow festival.

Q: What beauty care do you do before sleeping?
A: I'm into rose scented bath bombs (bath powder) right now. They do have it Korea, but there is so much more variety in Japan. I love rose scented [things]!

Tae Yeon

Q: What is the trend that you notice this season?
A: I'm interested in the leopard prints. If used incorrectly, you can look too mature, but if used a little as a point like in today's styling, it can be very cute!

Q: Your favorite Japanese food?
A: I really like hiyashi chuuka (Chinese-styled cold noodles). Compared to Korean-style cold noodles, the different soy sauce taste is refreshing and addicting!

Q: What beauty care do you do before sleeping?
A: Mmm, I don't really do anything, but I clean my face with cold water. Working all day and then coming home, my skin gets very dry, so when I wash my face with cold water, the elasticity returns.

Hyo Yeon

Q: Your specialty?
A: I love dancing! Even during the little breaks during filming or recordings, I dance.

Q: What do you want to do your best in hereafter?
A: Talking. Even when I think of what to say in my head, when it comes to that moment, it doesn't come out as well. When the other members are being covered and while watching the monitor, I study and think "Ah, that's how it's said."

Q: The latest Japanese phrase you remembered?
A: "Sa, Kongaragarimasu ne~" (Well, it's all mixed up.) When I'm doing an interview in Japan, I use it often (laughs).

Jessica

Q: What kind of fashion are you into now?
A: The military style outfits like we had for "Genie!" Not only is it cute, it also has a cool style.

Q: Your favorite Japanese food?
A: I have a sweet tooth, but I love Japanese sweets! Bread, cake, snacks... All the things I have eaten so far were delicious.

Q: Your specialty?
A: Piano and English. I was raised in America, so English is my big strong point!

Q: What do you want to do your best in hereafter?
A: Singing. I want Japanese fans to hear more and more of my voice!

Yoona

Q: What is your favorite fashion item?
A: A gorgeous necklace. I think necklaces are important items in deciding the style, so I definitely wear them.

Q: What made an impression this time coming to Japan?
A: Sukiyaki and inari sushi. Both were delicious!

Q: Your specialty?
A: I wouldn't say it's my specialty, but since I had a chance to be in a drama, I'm very interested in acting. I want to try hard and be even better.

Q: What beauty care do you do before sleeping?
A: I put on a face mask. I have dry skin, so face masks are very easy and helpful item.

Tiffany

Q: What do you want to do in Japan?
A: One thing that will never get boring: shopping! I've been going to Shibuya a lot. When I go to Shibuya, I feel like I've come to Japan (laughs). I really like Shibuya's style.

Q: What item are you aiming to get this season?
A: Fur boots! I love fluffy things. I also like fur bags, but those are a seasonal item, so I'm at lost on which to get.

Q: The latest Japanese phrase you remembered?
A: "Sorosoro ikimashou." (It's about time to go.) We do activities in a large group, so there are a lot of times where there isn't much time. I use it quite often.

Sunny

Q: Your favorite Japanese food?
A: Ramen and pudding! I won't forget the store that my manager took me to for ramen!

Q: Your specialty?
A: Swimming. (The members around her shouted "Sunny is good at sports!") After debuting I haven't had much chance to go swimming, but there is a gym near the place we are staying at in Japan, so when there is time, I go swimming.

Q: The latest Japanese phrase you remembered?
A: "Niko niko" (smiling) and "kosho kosho." (tickle) The pronunciation is cute, so I like it.

Seo Hyun

Q: Your favorite Japanese food?
A: I like snacks that have red beans in it and daifuku (mochi with red bean paste inside). Also, I'm interested in foods that are good for you, so I want to try natto (fermented soybeans). I haven't tried it at all yet, so I want to try it.

Q: The latest Japanese phrase you remembered?
A: "Kodomotachi ga iu koto wo kikanakute komatteimasu." (It's troublesome that children do not listen to what you/I say.) It showed up in a Japanese textbook (laughs).

Q: What item are you aiming to get this season?
A: I want a shirt with a checkered print! Matched with a tailored jacket and booties, I want to wear it in a cool fashion.

Soo Young

Q: What fashion item are you into for this season?
A: I like the recent trend of leopard prints. I want to use leopard print on something like today's outfit; nothing like a coat or other big clothing.

Q: The latest Japanese phrase you remembered?
A: "Zeitaku." (Extravagant) I remembered it from one of Boa's song lyrics. I like fashion, so there are a lot of things I want to buy, but I think buying things like Burberry's mouton jacket is "extravagant" (laughs).

Q: Your specialty?
A: I studied acting for about 3 years. I've appeared in movies and dramas.

Recently, ‘New Korean Wave Craze’ sparks an off-the-stage battle of star cards between SNSD and Kara. SNSD and TVXQ’s Star Collection Cards were launched in December 2009.

SNSD’s Volume 2.5 Star Collection Cards highlight the girls’ energetic and youthful image.
