Photos and fancams of a mysterious grabbing SNSD TaeYeon's hand and trying to take her away spread like wildfire online since yesterday.

Japanese media has reported about the incident too,check out the video here,hope that she has recovered from the trauma!




Song Joong Ki and Sunny experience love at first sight?

This week’s episode of SBS’s “Running Man” had the members jumping up and down, as the guests were none other than SNSD’s Yoona and Sunny.

Usually, the castmates have to hunt for the guests, but this time, the tables were turned; Sunny and Yoona had to hunt for the members and stamp their name plates attached to their backs. Yoona and Sunny surprised the other members by going beast-mode, ravaging through the list one by one until they completed the mission.

Sunny was the one who got Song Joong Ki out and did so by hugging him hard, managing to get a hold of his name plate. After the mission was finished, he stated, “I was shocked. When I got closer to her, she didn’t run away and just hugged me without showing me her face.” Sunny replied by stating,“It’s because I am a huge fan.” The two became awkward with each other afterwards, which made the other members jokingly say, “Guys, just date!”, making them turn bright-red.

For the second mission, the members and the guests had to pick teams, which brought back the love-line between the two.

When Yoona asked the others to close their eyes and raise their hands up if they wanted to be on her team, Song Joong Ki didn’t do so. Sunny, wanting to make sure, said to him, “You didn’t raise your hands, right?”

The two ended up being on the same team and got closer, with Sunny even showing him her “3 Aegyo Combo Set”.

Coupang releases apology for “Angel Price Music Festival”, will issue full refunds

Social commerce business ‘Coupang‘ has released an official apology regarding the incident that occurred with SNSD’s Taeyeon at the “Angel Price Music Festival“.

Through their official homepage, Coupang wrote:

“First of all, we would like to bow our heads and apologize for worrying SNSD, all of SNSD’s loving fans, and the customers of Coupang.

This music festival was the launching event for ‘Angel Price’, and under Angel Price’s request, Coupang handled the concert’s ticket sales. Unfortunately, Coupang was inadequate in the way we sold and distributed the tickets. There was also an unfortunate incident during SNSD’s performance which disturbed our customers and SNSD’s fans. Due to everything listed above, Coupang will be taking full responsibility of the issue.

As such, everyone who bought tickets through Coupang will get a full refund. We will work our best to make sure that such an incident does not occur again.

We would like to apologize once again for the incident that occurred at the ‘Angel Price Music Festival’, and promise to become a Coupang that works even harder.

Thank you.”

Netizens have been showing a cold response towards the apology, and although Taeyeon herself has stated that she would not be pressing charges, netizens feel that the concert failed to protect an artist that they had invited.

Many have been leaving comments of criticism towards the site, such as, “Money is not the issue anymore, it’s unfortunate that the company is trying to pass the issue over with just a refund”, and“What would they have done if something had really happened to Taeyeon?”

On a lighter note, comedian and the show’s MC, Oh Jung Tae has found himself thrust into the spotlight overnight as he is regarded by SOnes all over the world as a ‘national hero’ for saving Taeyeon from being manhandled even futher during yesterday’s incident.

Sunny and Yoona's Bright Appearance in Running Man


Girls' Generation's Sunny and Yoona were guests in the latest episode of SBS's Running Man. The two girls successfully completed their mission in which they had to "eliminate" the cast by stamping their name tags. To avoid being spotted, the girls were clad in casual clothing and wore caps to disguise themselves.

Sunny, in particular, caught the attention of netizens when she pretended to look in the mirror as she monitored the movements of the cast. Her reflection was the focus of viewers, with netizens commenting, "her dazzling beauty even when dressed in street clothes" and "She's just like a goddess".


After the mission, Song Joongki pointed at Sunny and said "Even when i approached you, you didn't run away and grabbed me", in which Sunny replied "because I'm your fan." Song Jihyo later mentioned that "Song Joongki is caring about his image today", pointing out that he was being relatively quiet. When Sunny said "I like those who are enthusiastic", Song Joongki quickly turned back to being active, causing much laughter.

After naturally picking Song Joongki to be part of her team, she showed off her cuteness by doing her trademark 3-set aegyo.


HaHa, on the other hand, posted a picture of himself with Yoona on Twitter showing a V sign and a bright smile. He emphasized that they shared a special relationship by adding "Yoona and I are already guardian angels of each other! I'm X oppa." Netizens commented that "I want to be the guardian angel of Yoona", showing envy towards their relationship.
