SNSD released new SPAO promo pics for Christmas!
TaeYeon and The One's Like A Star dominates Weekly charts!
‘Babo’ audition failure was a blessing in disguise for Sooyoung
Soshi are standing tall in Japan for Christmas
As the Christmas season is just around the corner, SNSD and ‘SHIBUYA 109‘ joined hands to present a Christmas collaboration entitled “109 Girls’ Generation Xmas“. SNSD appeared as the models for the large illumination image decorating the facade of the cylindrical building. From November 30th to December 25th (about a month), the girls’ large image with colorful background would be up for display.
To light up the mood for this coming Christmas season, SNSD adopted the ‘Line Dance‘ concept, showcasing their charm, fashion sense and stylishness. AS SNSD‘s songs, dance and fashion are hot topics in Japan, the Christmas collaboration between SNSD and ‘SHIBUYA 109‘ would definitely catch the attention of citizens in Tokyo’s shopping haven, especially female fans who aspire to be a star.
From the translation of a Japanese article, here’s what the girls have to say about the collaboration:
- We, SNSD (Girls’ Generation), appear on the “SHIBUY109″‘s cylinder which represents a symbol of Shibuya and girls’ fashion.
We are really happy because Shibuya is our favorite town where we often go shopping!
I find some mysterious(?) coincidence in this collabo with “09″ (pronounced as “maru kyu” in Japanese), because the number of our members is also nine.
Wishing you a joyful and gorgeous Christmas, we paid a particular care for fashion and filmed along with the “line dance” concept.
Come to see us here!
We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Idols rank their own popularities within their groups
Idols that participated in the November 30th episode of SBS’s variety program, “Strong Heart,” were asked to rank their their roles in their respective groups.
MC Lee Seung Ki began by informing Moon Hee Jun, “Tony An previously made an appearance here and stated that he was the key person of H.O.T.“, to which Moon Hee Jun retorted, “Key? This is why we need to come out together! For five years, I was the most popular person in the group.”
Yet despite his assertion, the studio refused to believe him.
Super Junior’s Donghae added, “In Korea, I think my popularity’s ranked about third or fourth out of our 13 members. But if you take all of Asia into consideration, I think I’m at least first or second.”
SNSD’s Yuri went on, “My popularity went down a bit at our debut, but it’s going up again hot. I think I’m at least ranked first.”
After School’s Lizzy stated, “When I last compared our fancafe numbers, I came in about third. UEEand Kahi are battling it out for first and second.”
Yuri feels pressured by the focus on SNSD’s legs
SNSD’s Yuri shared her thoughts about the popularity of SNSD’s legs in Japan during her appearance on the November 30th episode of SBS’s “Strong Heart.”
Yuri began by stating, “In Japan, they call us the ‘beautiful legs group’ because they think our legs are beautiful. Honestly though, our legs aren’t that pretty. Only a few of us have nice legs, but they keep the focus point on our legs a lot.”
SNSD’s hit song, “Genie,” was especially popular for its ‘kick’ dance. Their shorts and choreography accentuated and emphasized their long legs, but Yuri explained that the pressure was too much.
“All nine of us do not have pretty legs. Sooyoung, Tiffany, and a few others have very nice long legs but the rest of us are either short or thick. My legs, realistically, have a bit of meat on them as well so there’s a lot of pressure when cameras focus on them“, she confessed.
Yuri then revealed the secrets behind managing their legs, “Our legs get more makeup than our faces in order to hide any scars and bruising.”
