Seo Hyun, Sulli, Krystal and Tae Min’s audition clips revealed

It’s always interesting to see an artist’s first step in becoming a singer. Through the recent episode of MBC Infinity Challenge, audition clips of SNSD’s Seohyun, SHINee’s Taemin, f(x)’s Sulli and Krystal were revealed.

And of course, the highlight of this episode was the Infinity Challenge crew undertaking the mission of becoming idol stars. They headed over to SM Entertainment that day for auditions.

Cute audition clips of trending idol stars were revealed through this episode as well.

f(x)’s Krystal had an innocent image that matched well with her long, black hair. Despite her young age, she radiated with a model vibe due to her slim, S-line body.

f(x)’s Sulli and SNSD’s Seohyun’s cute and young faces could be seen in their audition clips. Seohyun sang a children’s song while Sulli confidently auditioned without showing any signs of nervousness.

SHINee’s Taemin impressed the judges with his powerful popping and flexible dancing skills.

As for the Infinity Challenge crew, all of them unfortunately didn’t pass through the auditions. However, they aren’t going to give up. In order to prepare for their idol debuts, the Infinity Challenge crew officially started to make their demo tape.

Meanwhile, check out the cute audition clips of the idol stars!

Seo Hyun and Yong Hwa take their driving test

Last week on We Got Married, YongSeo (Jung Yonghwa and Seohyun) fans were left in anticipation for the couple’s driving test results.

Well, the results aren’t looking so good.

Last week, both of them had cleared their writing component of the driving test and looked in command when they went for their practical driving lessons.

On this week’s episode, the cute couple took their driving license test and sadly, both failed. In Jung Yonghwa’s case, he failed at the last parallel parking course and did not finish in time, resulting in a lower score than expected. Seohyun, on the other hand, seemed to be doing fine until she ran over a curb on the corner of her course. Both seemed very flustered.

Jung Yonghwa stated, “It was very embarrassing. I was supposed to look cool when I came back…The moment I saw Hyun’s expression, I missed my wife.”

Seohyun also stated, “I feel better that we both failed…From now on, I will not be egotistical.”

Tiffany and Yuri perform MC farewell stage on Music Core!

As you guys know, it was revealed that SNSD’s Tiffany and Yuri would leave their positions as MC on MBC Music Core after 484 days due to SNSD’s upcoming Japan activities.

The two girls therefore decided to give us viewers a beautiful farewell gift as they performed a harmonious stage of Baby Baby, a song from artist 4men, on today’s Music Core.

Although it is sad to see them go, don’t be too disappointed. Even though the SNSD members are stopping their fixed program activities in Korea (other than Seo Hyun), the girls will still be making guest appearances on various shows so it’s not like we won’t be seeing them for a long while.

Also, don’t forget to congratulate Tiffany on her birthday August 1st!

Without further ado, check out Tiffany and Yuri’s farewell performance below and a SNSD reunion!



As she began to cry, Tiffany’s last words were, “I thank everyone at MBC and those who have shown love towards Music Core.” She later added, “We promise that we’ll be returning.”

As Yuri gave her last bow, she said, “Because of Music Core, I was happy every day…We’ll return as SNSD so please wait for us.”

Gasp! What is this? ‘Tis a list! A list of what? I think you know what.

Our merry friends over at dkpnews (okay, so I don’t really know them) have put together the latest list of member counts at the individual fangroups on Cafe Daum, a massive site where all the Korean pop lovers go. As always, SNSD’s fanbase continues to grow even though they are not currently active, and are really the only popular group to do so recently.

Of course this isn’t really an accurate presentation of SNSD’s fanbase but still, it’s awesome. S♡NE is probably one of the most active fanbases out there.

SNSD is the bomb. ^_______^

SNSD fans wish Tiffany a happy birthday

On the 30th, girl group SNSD’s fan cafe gave a special birthday present for Tiffany, who will turning 21 (American age) on August 1st.

Fans showered their birthday messages to Tiffany through a public advertisement on a newspaper.

The warm message says:

“Livening our weary moods with your sweet voice. Your beautiful smile makes us feel elated. In our hearts, you will always be a sparkling jewel”

Lets all wish Tiffany to have a good one!

Seohyun will stay on We Got Married with Jung Yonghwa

With news this week that Taeyeon, Yuri and Tiffany were leaving their hosting jobs on Win Win and Music Core respectively, there were fears among Sones that maknae member Seohyun might also be leaving We Got Married where she is in a make-believe marriage with CNBLUE’s Jung Yonghwa.

But SM Entertainment has expressed on the 30th, “Apart from Seohyun on We Got Married, all the other SNSD girls will stop their fixed program activities in Korea. Yuri and Tiffany will leave Music Core on the 31st while we are coordinating the date for Taeyeon’s departure from Win Win. We are not saying that SNSD will be off all shows because they will still meet fans through guest appearances on programs. For example, Jessica will be appearing in SBS Running Man next month as a guest.”

The SNSD girls are currently preparing in earnest for their Japanese and overseas activities. They will be releasing their Genie song as their Japanese debut single on September 8th.

SNSD for SPAO’s New Clothings!

SPAO has just released a number of new clothings for its line,and as usual,more goodies of our girls arrives! It just makes me yearn for more.

Tiffany and Yuri will leave Music Core for SNSD Japan activities

This has been coming so it wouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Through MBC’s weekly preview of Music Core for this Saturday, July 31st, it was revealed that it would be the last episode for outgoing MCs and SNSD members, Yuri and Tiffany.

With SNSD gearing up for their Japan activities soon, it was inevitable that the girls had to leave the show since taking over from the previous MCs, Solbi, Daesung and Seungri back in April 2009. SNSD leader, Taeyeon was also announced to be leaving her hosting job on KBS2TV’s Win Win earlier.

To give fans a memorable farewell and to draw a close to their hosting duties, Tiffany and Yuri will have a special stage this Saturday where they were involved with the planning of the stage to the selection of the song that they are singing, Baby Baby from 4men.

So stay tuned this Saturday for their beautiful farewell gift.

SNSD forgives netizens for uploading their photoshopped nude pictures

It looks like SNSD has been caught in a little incident, and it wasn’t even their fault.

Nude pictures of SNSD members have been appearing on the internet, but they weren’t exactly pictures of the members themselves. In fact, they were photos that had been photoshopped to seem real.

92 netizens manipulated photos of Yuri, Taeyeon, and Tiffany for the specific purpose of defaming SNSD, but the reason remains unknown. Surprisingly, 75 of the 92 netizens were underaged.

SM Entertainment released a report about this situation back in May, but the police department only recently acted on the case. The police said that the girls forgave the individuals in question, but there will still likely be some consequences for the netizens.

SNSD’s Yuri reunites with G7 on Invincible Youth

A couple of days ago we reported that SNSD’s Yuri would be making a surprise appearance on KBS‘ hit show Invincible Youth. Well, it appears as if that day has finally come!

On the 29th, former G7 member Yuri reunited with the G7 members at the Invincible Youth booth at the 2010 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Fair. She arrived earlier than the other members to make sure her surprise was unexpected. Hara and Jooyeon were both absent unfortunately due to their respective Japan and Singapore group activities.

The G7 members set up their Invincible Youth booth and will be selling their potatoes and other crops from 1:30PM to 5PM. In addition, it has been reported that all the proceeds made from the potato and crop sales would be donated to the underprivileged.

During her time on Invincible Youth, Yuri said, “I really missed Invincible Youth…When the production team contacted me to come on the show, I was extremely happy…How could I have refused to come to this festival?…I will do my best to make sales.”

SNSD voted to have best fanclub support

On a recent poll titled “The idol group that has the best fanclub support” held on a community website, SNSD took first place with their fierce fanclub made of Sones.

The poll had a total of 6527 votes cast, and of that amount, 1888 votes (about 28.9%) were given to SNSD ranking them as the idol group with one of the best fanclubs.

Following SNSD is Super Junior with their powerful ELFS ranking in 2nd with 1761 (or 27%) of the votes.

Coming in 3rd place was TVXQ Cassiopeians stealing 1266 (or 19.4%) of the votes.

SNSD Seo Hyun looking pretty again

Looks like SNSD Seo-Hyun no longer has bloated cheeks and looking very pretty again as you can see from these photos taken from fans recently from Korea’s theme park Everland.

SNSD working hard in rain

SNSD seems to be enjoying themselves in their recent performance in Korea while it is pouring out there. The photos were taken July 16th during a local festival in Korea. Good to see them energetic and lively huh?

Tae Yeon and Woo Young will leave Win Win soon

There seems to be quite a lot of news about Win Win today.

SNSD’s Taeyeon and 2PM’s Wooyoung were MCs along with Kim Seung Woo, Kim Shin Young and Choi Hwa Jung.

The exact date of Wooyoung and Taeyeon’s exit has not been decided as yet but they will be leaving soon and the show are already scouting for replacements.

The parting was inevitable as Wooyoung is preparing for 2PM’s first concert while Taeyeon has to work with SNSD for their Japan promotions.

I’m sad to see them leave but I’m more excited to find out who’s going to replace them. f(x)’s Krystal and CNBLUE’s Yonghwa did replace them while they were both away before but they didn’t do the job as well as Wooyoung and Taeyeon.

http://eumakseiji.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/21c9xyt.jpg

Once a G7, always a G7?

After bidding seemingly-eternal farewell from KBS Invincible Youth last June, Sunny has made a guest appearance for G7’s special trip to Japan.

It now seems like Yuri is back again as well, as it’s been told that she will be making a surprise appearance soon!

According to a related source, Yuri will be present at 2010 Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries Fair in Coex C Hall. From 1:30 PM to 5 PM, Yuri will be selling G7’s hand-grown crops alongside other members.

Producer Kim Ho Sang revealed, “On that day, G7 will be selling crops like potatoes, watermelons, melons, and corns. Yuri will be helping out.”

Meanwhile, G7 will be awarded with a plaque from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestries, and Fisheries as well for their hard work toward the agricultural business.

During a segment in the show called Mother Asks You, the SNSD girls appeared as this week’s special guests.

Taeyeon began the conversation by sharing how she used to have fights with her brother often when she was young.

Continuing the whole sibling-related conversation, Yuri revealed that she has an older brother as well who looks very alike to her.

To prove the existence of her brother, Yuri took out a Polaroid photo showing herself posing with an oddly familiar-looking man.

Tae Yeon is a sensitive girl

SNSD’s Taeyeon may seem like a cool girl but she’s actually pretty sensitive.

On the HahaMong Show, Haha and MC Mong took care of the girls as mothers for one day. The two MC’s revealed a note written by one of the girl’s mothers. The note read, “As a mom, when I watch you being so hard on yourself, I feel so bad. Please become someone more generous to yourself and your members.”

Tiffany then said, “Taeyeon seems really easygoing so you don’t expect that anything is wrong with her but she gets hurt a lot.” Taeyeon explained, “When I have a problem, I try to solve it myself. So I talk about it with my mom a lot.”

Sooyoung’s past pictures are revealed

A timeline of photos were aired on the HahaMong Show of SNSD’s Sooyoung.

While celebrating her 20th birthday on the show, her mom and sister showed some pictures of Sooyoung. The pictures started from when she was a baby to when she debuted with SNSD.

This was a surprise party for Sooyoung and because of that, she was immensely touched by everyone’s efforts. She shed tears at the party and especially when she looked back on the pictures.

Her sister sang a song to Sooyoung and surprised everyone with her vocals. The girls of SNSD all appreciated this event and celebrated being together on a joyous occasion.

In the photo, Shin Se Kyung and Seohyun are wearing the same red short-sleeved shirt. However not only were their clothes the same, but their hairstyles and faces look similar too.

In the past, Seohyun was photoshopped into a photo of Shin Se Kyung in her previous sitcom MBC’s High Kick Through the Roof. Fans noticed their great similarity and even began calling Seohyun, Seo Se Kyung.

Netizens commented on the pictures of the look-a-like girls in their identical outfits saying, “They really give off the same feeling” ”Both are so pretty Both look like goddesses

What do you think? Do Seohyun and Shin Se Kyung look alike?

How are idol singers recognized in Korea today?

In this present era where idols are hugely popular, how exactly and what are they being recognized for?

Mnet Media music research center did a one month research this past June, with a target group of 1000 adult male and females taking part.

And in their research, they marked out 57 currently active solo singers/groups in terms of vocal ability, appearance, friendliness, trend, stage presence and variety categories for the poll receipients to rate.

The results showed that apart from vocal ability, the idol groups all ranked highly in the other categories. Especially when it came to stage presence, 16 out of 20 names belonged to idol groups. Appearance wise, female idol groups ruled with 7 groups (SNSD, KARA, f(x), After School, 2NE1, T-ara, 4minute) in the top 10.

Guy idol groups ranked favourably in the variety field, with 2AM, Super Junior, 2PM placed in the top 10.

One particular thing to note was SNSD. They were ranked no.1 in appearance, trend, stage presence, variety. Having created the GEE phenomemon last year, the SNSD girls continued to show the “Power of 9″ with Oh! this year.

No idols were in the top 10 of the vocal ability category though.

Big Mama, Gummy, Lee Seung Chul, Shin Seung Hoon, etc were ranked in the top spots. This shows that the general public don’t quite recognize the idols for their vocals, and that’s one area that idols should try to rectify in future.

Yoona acted with Bruce Lee?

Not exactly.

SNSD’s Yoona is actually looking alike with a Hong Kong actress. Online bulletin boards found screen captures of a movie from 1972 called Way of the Dragon. In these photos, the actress who acted with Bruce Lee in the movie looks an awful lot like Yoona.

She is Nora Miao, a famous Hong Kong actress. She is originally from Taiwan and became a famous actress after working with Bruce Lee in this film.

In one scene, she has waves in her hair that look absolutely identical to Yoona. Personally, I don’t think their closeups are that similar but from far away, they do look like the same person.

Netizens wrote,

“They are dopplegangers. I was shocked.”
“I have goosebumps. She is now Yoona’s mom’s age.”
“Not just the face but the hair and movement are identical too.”

Isn’t this weird?

SNSD, 2PM, etc to hold poolside concert at Caribbean Bay

As part of the endorsement with Caribbean Bay, SNSD and 2PM will hold a outdoor concert on the 17th.

This will be at Caribbean Bay because it is part of the Carib Festa, a poolside summer part held by the water park. Eun Ji Won, MC Mong, Wheesung, Lee Jung Hyun and more have already performed at the other concerts starting June 25th.

2PM’s rep said, “Since it’s regarding Caribbean Bay, the boys are trying to bulk up their bodies. This will be a way for fans who couldn’t get tickets for their first concert to cheer up.” 2PM’s solo concert will take place at the end of the month.

SNSD, who partnered up with 2PM for the endorsement, will be at the concert as well to put on a performance. Davichi and One Two will also join in. The concerts will take place next week on the 24th and the 25th.

Hideyuki Nakayama praises SNSD

Last month we reported that SNSD / Girls’ Generation was planning to go to the Japan Market. They’re working under Universal Music Japan’s record label Nayutawave Records for their Japan promotions and they are planning to release their debut single this September. They’re also scheduled to hold their first showcase concert on August 25th at the Ariake Coliseum in Japan in front of more than 10,000 fans.

Recently, a Japanese TV show on Nihon TV titled DON! featured a segment on SNSD and MC Hideyuki Nakayama was gushing over the girls. This man seems to be a real SNSD fanboy at heart, I’m sure the girls will be quite popular with the older male audience once they debut in Japan. Check out the segment below.

Yoona with new CF for Innisfree

SNSD / Girls’ Generation member Yoona has been endorsing skin care products for cosmetic brand Innisfree for some time now and now she’s back again with another endorsement.

This time she’s endorsing the Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask, a mask made out of the volcanic ashes from Jeju Island. Supposedly this material is supposed to be better for the skin than Mud.

Thanks to mystarmyangel for the tip and check out the CF below.


Yoona fits a large amount of jajangmyeon into her mouth on Family Outing 2

This week’s episode of Family Outing 2 took place at YangPyung, where the family feasted on some jajangmyeon – popular Korean dish of noodles with black bean sauce.

However, the family members had to pass through a test first before they could eat. They had to endure a painful 5 seconds or more of being pinched without screaming or showing signs of pain.

As 2PM’s Taecyeon pinched SNSD’s Yoona’s cheek, she unfortunately let out a scream before the 5 second mark. As a result, she was only given the opportunity to eat one-chopstick worth of jajangmyeon.

With the chopsticks, Yoona wrapped a large amount of jajangmyeon and further proved true to her nickname as ‘Big mouth Yoona’, which she earned during a previous Family Outing episode of her stuffing one-chopstick worth of ramen into her mouth.

Meanwhile, this was the last episode of Family Outing.

Check out this segment below!

Onew to Yong Hwa, “I’ve been to SNSD dormitory because of Seo Hyun”

An episode happened which had C.N Blue Jung YongHwa wanting to grab SHINee Onew by the neck.

Jung YongHwa and member Lee JungShin were guest appearances on late night variety show KBS 2TV Night Star aired on 11th July.

They were in the topic of police and thief when Onew was asked, “Who was the reason that you went to SNSD’s dormitory?” And Onew answered jokingly, “SeoHyun.”

Jung YongHwa who is the make-believe husband to SeoHyun on MBC We Got Married then responded, “You!” And he grabbed Onew by his neck, which had cause laughter in the filming studio.

Onew later made Yonghwa dumbfounded by reminding him, “Don’t hurt Seohyun’s heart. She is Korea’s younger sister.”




Tae Yang, “I had a blind date with Yuri, and we are getting along well now”

Big Bang TaeYang’s surprising statement, “Through friend’s recommendation, I had blind date with So Nyeo Shi Dae Yuri last winter. Even now, we still keep in touch.”

Even though there are many stars who confessed on which other stars they meet up with, this will be the first time a popular idol confesses that he had met another idol through a blind date.

This was revealed during TaeYang’s appearance on SBS Strong Heart filming on 8th July. TaeYang said on the show, “I have not been in a relationship even until now. But for this year, I really want to meet a girl whom I really like and have my first relationship.”

Member SeungRi who was also present said, “We want to help TaeYang get a girl too. But without telling anyone of us, he actually went to So Nyeo Shi Dae’s concert alone.”

Taking SeungRi’s hint, MC Kang Ho Dong asked, “SeungRi’s really a good friend of ‘Strong Heart’. Thank you.” and to TaeYang, “Why did you go to SNSD concert alone? Did you receive anyone’s invitation?”

Flustered, TaeYang said, “For the 1 year I worked on the album, my mind was only on work and I didn’t go out much. Seeing that, a friend came forward and told me ‘I will introduce someone, go meet her. She has a good personality. It would be good if you can get along well.’. And the person turned out to be SNSD Yuri.” which had the other star appearances on the show shocked.

TaeYang added, “I was invited to SNSD’s concert by Yuri. After that we kept in touch and got along well. And this year, SeungRi became schoolmates with Yuri at JoongAng University and he got to know about me and Yuri.”

Hong KyungMin then chipped in, “Talks like these are talks we would not have dreamed to do on shows during our times.”

TaeYang also said on the show that day, “If I my relationship with Yuri is very deep, I don’t think I will confess like this today. We talk a lot about music on the phone these days. I look at us as close colleagues.”

And SeungRi then gave a hilarious comment, “It always starts with friends right.”

The show is set to air on 20th July.
