Yuri humiliated by YoonA's force


Girls’ Generation’s Yuri was humiliated by the force of fellow member YoonA.

A short video titled “Completely Intimidated Yuri” was recently posted on an online community forum. The video shows YoonA and Yuri getting out of a van. 

The two members simultaneously exited the van, with YoonA exiting from the back seat and Yuri from the front. Unfortunately, YoonA’s exit caused the car door to fling open, leaving Yuri trapped between the front and back doors. Unsure of what to do, Yuri made a frowning expression, which caused laughter to netizens.

Netizens commented, “Yuri’s long face looks so cute”, “That is funny!” and “I’m curious to see what happened next.”

How tiny is Yoona's waist?


A recent appearance of Yoona at a television show has sparked the interest of netizens. Recently, screencaps of SNSD appearing at a variety show in a television show in Japan that aired on the 31st of March was shared on online communities.

On the photo's you can see the girls of SNSD having laughs at the show however what sparked the interest of netizens was when Yoona placed her hands on her waist and you can see how tiny her waist is. All in all Yoona has such a slender physique and her tiny waist is a proof of that. I wonder how many inches her waist measures.

Girls' Generation featured on Fuji TV's Mecha-Ike


Girls’ Generation’s actual off-the-stage behavior was revealed.

Girls’ Generation was featured on Japan’s Fuji TV ‘Mecha-Mecha Iketeru! (commonly known as just Mecha-Ike)’ aired on March 31st. ‘Mecha-Ike’, a variety show with a format somewhat similar to SBS ‘Running Man’ is hosted by Takashi Okamura and Hiroyuki Yabe. On the previous episode, Okamura and his ‘expedition team’ set out to look for Girls’ Generation who were featured as the ‘Girl Clan’, the descendants of ancient residents living in Seoul.

The Japanese production staff had secretly installed cameras in SM Entertainment’s building to observe the girls’ actual behavior. Even when the cameras were not on them, the girls were playing and laughing heartily. The atmosphere was filled with warmth as the members revealed their friendly characters.

Jessica, who was nicknamed ‘Ice Princess’ due to her cool facial expressions seen on magazines, gave out the brightest smile and laughter as she was having conversations with the other members.

Besides that, the natural behavior of the girls who were busy concentrating on the nail arts on their nails, sending messages on their cell phones, eating their meals, etc were all captured on the hidden cameras.

During their dance rehearsal, the girls burst into laughter when a Japanese comedian who pretended to be a photographer started following Girls’ Generation’s dance moves out of a sudden. In the end, the girls were literally ‘captured’ when a net was released on them.

According to the ‘Mecha-Ike’ production staff, the filming took place in the middle of March in Seoul, after taking consideration of Girls’ Generation’s schedule. From ‘Mecha-Mecha Iketeru’ onwards, the girls are expected to be featured in various variety programs in the future.
