Taeyeon gives a sneak peek at Girls’ Generation’s concert venue in Nagoya


Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon gave a sneak peek at the concert venue in Nagoya, Japan.
The girls performed at the Nippon Gaishi Hall in Nagoya on April 9th & 10th for their Japanese arena tour, and Taeyeon gave a rare treat for fans. The photo shows the members in an empty arena from a far angle, usually fans only get to view the girls on the stage. It looks like the girls came out just to get a feel for the various viewing angles for the concert venue.
Included in the photograph posted on Taeyeon’s Instagram were members SooyoungHyoyeon,TiffanyJessica, and YoonA. Taeyeon also wrote, “Soo. Hyo. Tiff. Jess. Yoon♥ It’s cool seeing it from up here!! See you soon! See you later^^“.
Even though the photo is blurry, the girls’ smiles are still sharp enough for plain view in the photo.
Perhaps Jessica and Taeyeon wanted a vantage point of where they’ll throw their next set of rubber balls?

Seohyun and Yonghwa live in the same apartment complex?


It’s been revealed that CNBLUE‘s Yonghwa and Girls’ Generation‘s Seohyun live in the same apartment complex!
tvN‘s news program had a corner called ‘Decisive Punch‘. The program reported on idols that were rumored to be dating. One of the couples they covered was Yonghwa and Seohyun, who’d become a hot issue and a fan favorite after their gig together on ‘We Got Married‘. There were rumors that the pair lived in the same apartment complex, and the news corner found out that the rumor was indeed true.
CNBLUE’s dorms were located on the 1st floor of the complex, and Seohyun had moved in with her parents last year into an apartment on the 4th floor. Their neighbors revealed, “Seohyun lived here first, and CNBLUE moved here soon after that. When their label FNC Entertainment moved their headquarters near here, the members probably moved here to be closer to their label.

Jessica makes yet another ‘legendary’ throw


Jessica made another legendary throw.
Most fans of Jessica and Girls’ Generation remember the adorably awkward pitch that she threw straight to the ground last May. The throw went viral and even appeared on ESPN’s Sportscenter.
The newest throw was recently featured on an online community board under the title, “Sica’s new Pitch“. The throw occurred at a recent stop for their Japanese arena tour. It appears she wanted to compensate for the throw that went straight to the ground last time as she managed to do the complete opposite this time around. Determined to throw it correctly this time, Jessica tried an underhand throw instead of an overhead throw.
Sadly, just like Taeyeon with her accidental throw at a previous concert, Jessica misjudged her power and angle and sent the ball incredibly high up in a vertical line and had it drop straight back down nearby. Cutely mortified, she sank down to the ground and ran quickly away to recover.
Check out her cute throw below!

The two girls will once again take the roles of two of three smart and ambitious sisters Margo and Edith. Taeyeon provides the voice for Gru’s eldest daughter, Margo, a ten year old girl who is very skillful and intelligent. Meanwhile, Seohyun voices the mischievous and cynical Edith.
