[NEWS] Who wore it better? Shin Min Ah or Seohyun?

Celebrities wearing the same outfit is hardly surprising in the entertainment industry, and Shin Min Ah and SNSD’s Seohyun are the newest addition to this wardrobe coincidence.

The dress is from the Moschino Cheap & Chic 2010 F/W Collection. Shin Min Ah was first seen wearing the white dress in her drama My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox while Seohyun wore hers to SMTOWN LIVE ‘10.

Despite having the same dress, they exhibited very different feels. Shin Min Ah gave off a bright and cheery feel while Seohyun was more mature and feminine.

More often than not, one celebrity will outshine the other in the same outfit, but I think Shin Min Ah and Seohyun both shined in different ways. So, who do you think wore the dress better?

[INFO] How Much SNSD Awareness Is In Japan?

The girls were recently featured on “[VIDEO]Japan ZoomIn TV,” which reported that 95% of the Japanese people, or to be specific, in Shibuya, are familiar with the SNSD. 95% is a big percentage, but I think it’s reasonable. The girls are really doing well in the Japanese music industry and getting their name out there, don’t you guys agree? Even if most of the population may just briefly know about Shoujo Jidai (少女時代) -SNSD in Japanese-, that still counts. If I was in Japan, I’m pretty sure I’ll be aware of the girls cause c’mon, you can’t deny that they are all the rage these days.
