Pictures of SNSD’s Seohyun on college campus revealed

Following the much buzzed-about pictures of KARA’s Hara on the campus of her college, pictures ofSNSD’s Seohyun living her college life have also been revealed.

On April 25th, an online community site uploaded pictures under the title, “Seohyun at Dongguk University”. The pictures, which drew much attention from netizens, showed Seohyun at a coffee shop on campus.

Seohyun is dressed like a typical female college student – in a black t-shirt, jeans, and flats – displaying a very pure look. However, even from far away, she was able to show off her beautiful long legs, unintentionally drawing envy from the other female students at the shop.

Netizens commented, “Even though she’s on break, she is attending well”, “Even though it is a coffee shop, she probably ordered a sweet potato latte”, and “Yonghwa hyung (older brother), Seohyun is here!”

Lee Yong Dae’s ideal woman is not f(x)’s Sulli, but SNSD’s YoonA

On last week’s episode of MBC’s “We Got Married“, athlete Lee Yong Dae was said to have chosenf(x)’s Sulli as his ideal girl. Contrary to what viewers thought, however, his ideal woman actually turned out to be SNSD’s YoonA.

In his interview with TV Report on April 25th, he revealed, “I actually like YoonA. I fell in love with her feminine and innocent looks, as well as her aegyo-filled yet tomboyish personality – all of which are qualities that I look for in the woman of my dreams.”

When asked about meeting Sulli, he replied, “I was always her fan, so I was lucky to have had met her. She’s such a nice and bright person, so I had a lot of fun recording with her. I think of it as an honor.”

When asked about a possible fixed appearance on the show, he concluded, “There’s nothing decided yet. I think I’d consider it if I receive the offer. As long as it doesn’t affect my schedule, I’d love to be a fixed member of the show.”

Girls' Generation's New Japanese Album Sets SM Entertainment's Stocks Soaring!


SM Entertainment, the company that houses girl group Girls’ Generation, is waiting in anticipation for the sales reports of the soon-to-be released Japanese single album, ‘MR. TAXI’.

On April 25th, SM Entertainment’s stock prices on the KOSDAQ market finished the day at 19,600 won, which is 4.26% (800W) higher than the previous day. During trading, the share price at one point hit a high of 6.91%. The company’s shares significantly increased to 1.12 million shares from 280,000 shares.

The company’s strong showing in stock prices is interpreted to be a reflection of the high expectations of girl group Girls’ Generation’s Japanese single album ‘MR. TAXI’ due to be released on April 27th. According to the company, Girls’ Generation will release the single containing songs ‘MR. TAXI’ and ‘Run Devil Run’ and begin full-fledged activities in Japan thereafter.

Though the stocks stumbled last month in light of the recent earthquakes in Japan, stock market experts foresee them heading towards a positive direction as soon as SM artists start Japan promotions.

Samsung stock researcher Gong Taehyun states that “With the recent Japanese earthquakes, people’s mindsets towards investing in SM were less optimistic. But as Girls’ Generation’s activities resume, there are less worries now. Girls’ Generation has the biggest sales in terms of Japan-related activites as reflected from the first 4 quarters. If the SMTown concert in Japan is confirmed, results will further improve.”

Stay tuned for more updates on the girls and their Japanese activities!
