Check out what SNSD is thinking, here!









Pictures of SNSD’s cosplays appearing in every corners of the world are now a hot issue.
Recently on an online community site, various pictures had been uploaded with the title “SNSD cosplays from all over the world.”
Most of the cosplayers are Asians although there are also Westerners taking part in these cosplays. This proves that SNSD are now not just Asian stars and the title ‘Global Star’ seems to be more relevant.
Netizens commented “Wow, they are pretty~but the original SNSD are the best!”, “Oh my God, there’s even a black man kekeke”, “There’s no boundary to SNSD’s popularity”, etc
On March 6th, a video entitled “Taeyeon, Pretty” was uploaded to an online portal site.The video contains Taeyeon’s pictures along with Shinhwa’s “Pretty” as the background music.
Also, the video became a hot topic because all the photos were from MBC FM4U’s ChinChin, a radio show that Taeyeon used to host.
In the pictures, Taeyeon was not wearing outfit used in performances. Rather, she wore glasses and casual clothes that made her look very natural. Also, SNSD’s members, as well as their friends, guests, and staffs, were making funny faces. In addition to this, Shinhwa’s emotional voice in the background music perfectly matched the content of the video.
Netizens commented “Taeyeon looks prettier in her natural outfit.” “Taeyeon is really pretty!” “I want to see this video on TV.” “This reminds me of her DJ-ing days.”
Is there anyone busier than idols these days? SNSD would especially be busy as they are currently performing all throughout Asia. Recently having gained the title ‘Dior’s Muse’ due to their new endorsement with the cosmetics brand, six members of the group sat down with Kang Ok Jin, editor of ELLE.
The editor commented on the members’ down-to-earth personalities, stating that, although they were stars, the members of SNSD were also bright young girls.
When the topic of ‘meal plans’ was brought up, the girls laughed off the idea. Sunny stated, “We eat whatever we want. We are very active so we have to eat often.” Hyoyeon added, ”After 10PM, YoonAalways wants to eat roast chicken. So we eat together.” Sooyoung also talked about her metabolism, explaining, ”I want to gain some weight but I can’t. I don’t gain weight easily.”
When asked about the recent holidays, the girls each stated where they visited for their break. Tiffanywent back home to San Francisco, Yuri visited Bali with her family. In fact, every member except Hyoyeon (who went to a ski resort) traveled overseas. The girls explained that, whenever they go overseas to film or perform, they can barely leave their hotels and that, although they don’t mind people’s stares, the members have gotten uncomfortable with the increasing amount of people who recognize them across the continent.
The ladies also revealed their ideal honeymoon spots, listing Greece (Sooyoung), Praha (Hyoyeon), Bora Bora (Yuri), Hawaii (Sunny), Mexico Cabo (Tiffany) as well as Milan and Firenze (Jessica).
Aside from talking about themselves, SNSD also discussed beauty. ”My skin is allergic to many things, so I get skin troubles easily. I use Dior products these days and they seem to work well,” Sunny explained. “I don’t touch my face when I get pimples,” Hyoyeon reflected.
As for the member that was most interested in make-up, the unanimous
The article said that because the group was too diverse–consisting of college students, high school graduates, and Americans, and seven out of nine are 21 years old–there is a lot of rivalry. “Real Live” talked about rumored controversies over Yoona lifting Tiffany’s skirt and Jessica cursing Seohyun. Then, “Real Live” pulled out the big guns–they talked about DBSK’s disbandment.
This article has attracted a lot of negative attention from kpop fans: all groups have personal difficulties, to not have any problems wouldn’t be human, and also, DBSK disbanded because of contract issues, not a rivalry within the group. What do you think?
To compute the list, Nikkei used 2010 average sales for singles:
1. AKB48: 684,800 copies
2. SNSD: 679,000 copies
3. KARA
4. Perfume
With KARA having legal difficulties, it’s hard to imagine any Korean girl group giving SNSD some serious competition right now. Maybe this will change with 2NE1′s debut in Japan?
