Super Junior’s Eunhyuk thought SNSD’s Sooyoung was the prettiest before debut

Super Junior’s Eunhyuk recently revealed of a special ‘relationship’ he had with SNSD’s Sooyoungback before their debut.

During a recent recording of KBS 2TV’s night variety show, ‘Nocturnal Habits’, guest MC Eunhyuk revealed that he was the closest with guest member Sooyoung before their debuts.

Eunhyuk confessed they often liked going to the board games room together. He said jokingly, “Back then, Sooyoung liked me a little.” To this, Sooyoung replied, “It wasn’t Eunhyuk that I liked, it was the board games!”

Eunhyuk also shared that he first saw Sooyoung while she was at her profile photoshoot, and said, “At the time, Sooyoung had really long hair, and thought she was the prettiest out of all the SNSD members. She was so pretty that she looked like a Barbie doll.”

The full episode is scheduled to air on November 28th at 11:15 PM KST.

Lee Jongseok'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 Hyoyeon 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 Hyoyeon." [ 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."

Girls' Generation Taipei concert cancelled over Asian Games officiating tiff

user posted image

A concert by K-pop group "Girls' Generation" has been cancelled after a Korean official was reportedly involved in the disqualification of a Taiwanese athlete at the Asian Games, sparking anti-South Korean sentiment on the island.

According to Taiwanese media reports, the nine-member girl group, which is currently exploding in popularity in Taiwan, was slated to perform at the 54th Asia Pacific Film Festival to be held here from Dec. 2 to 4. However, event organizers have cancelled their invitation to the group, disappointing fans who claim that the anti-South Korean ire does not represent the entire nation of Taiwan.

"The invitation isn't appropriate as it's a sensitive time," a film festival official reportedly said.

The spat began when Taiwan's star taekwondo fighter Yang Shu-chun was disqualified from the women's under-49 kilogram event at the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China on Nov. 17 for allegedly wearing extra scoring sensors in her socks.

Taiwanese media also reported that a top South Korean taekwondo official was involved in the decision to disqualify Yang.
