Girls' Generation Leaves a Voicemail for SONEs!

After the premiere of “Girls’ Generation and the Dangerous Boys”, a voicemail from Girls’ Generation to officially registered SONEs emerged and quickly spread. The voicemail originated from the phone number 2007-0805, a number which also happens contain the debut date of Girls’ Generation, August 5th, 2007. In the voicemail, the members sounded happy and cheerful as they thanked their fans for waiting in the cold weather to support them during the recording of the December 18th broadcast of Inkigayo. Earlier in the day, Girls’ Generation even prepared hotpacks and hot drinks to be given to fans attending the recording.

The girls explained that thanks to the fans, the members felt as if they were attending a retreat and that their stress was relieved. They also remarked that the Inkigayo stage was very fun to perform on, and said that they hoped SONEs would take care to avoid catching colds.  Also in the call, the members displayed their sense of humor by performing the “bbuing bbuing” aegyo in very low voices.

Sunny Blushes at the Mention of Marriage!

The suggestion to get married left Sunny blushing in embarrassment.

On an episode of KBS 2TV’s “Invincible Youth” that aired on December 17th, the G8 members were given the responsibility of delivering homemade kimchi to the village’s residents.

Sunny was paired with Ji Hyunwoo and the two made their way to an elderly couple’s home. They sat down with the couple after greeting them politely. Sunny said, “Wow, you got married at the age of 23 – that’s my age,” to which the couple playfully responded, “So hurry up and get married then.”

Feeling rather embarrassed at this remark, Sunny shyly hid her face in her hands, but eventually laughed out loudly in order to shake off the awkwardness.

‘Invincible Youth 2′ struggles with declining ratings

Launched several weeks ago amidst heavy fanfare, KBS‘s ‘Invincible Youth 2‘ has so far turned out to be all sizzle, no steak with its continual decline in ratings.

The idol variety program aired a new episode last Saturday, which garnered a dismal 5.4% rating nationwide, according to AGB Nielsen. This is a .5% percent drop from the previous week’s episode, which drew 5.9%.

What’s even worse is that its main competitor, MBC‘s ‘Quiz to Change the World‘, is trouncing ‘Invincible Youth 2′ in the ratings department. ‘Quiz to Change the World’ maintained its oppressive lead with 14.3%.

The continued ratings decline is bad news for the show’s producers, especially since the ratings have fallen from a comparatively steady 7% in its first week.

‘Invincible Youth 2′ is the second season for KBS’s acclaimed farm-variety program, which managed to gain a strong audience in its first incarnation. Members include SNSD‘s Sunny and Hyoyeon, KARA‘sJiyoung, Miss A‘s Suzy, Jewelry‘s Yewon, SISTAR‘s Bora, Rainbow‘s Woori, and f(x)‘s Amber.

Hyoyeon admits to feeling upset over her stage outfits

SNSD‘s Hyoyeon recently opened up about how she felt upset whenever she was dressed in a style she hadn’t hoped for her by her stylists.

On Mnet‘s ‘Beatle’s Code‘, she explained, “I never brought this up with the members before, but I did get a bit jealous when it came to our stage outfits.”

She continued, “Whenever I see pretty clothes, I naturally wanted to wear it, but it always went to another member. I was really upset over that and often thought to myself, ‘Why aren’t I allowed to wear those things?’”

“Lately, however, I place my trust in the stylist unnis and tell myself, ‘They must be dressing me this way because it fits my look the best.’”

This had actually been a concern amongst fans for some time now, and netizens were quick to point out through a series of photos posted on a community board that stylists were indeed negligent of her. Reference photos pointed out concepts where her clothes were either poorly fitting in size or bizarre in style.

Netizens commented, “It’s true that Hyoyeon could’ve been better dressed in the past“, “I still love her because she’s beautiful and confident“, and “We love her no matter what“.
