Not Just The Aegyo Queen: A Poem for Sunny on Her 25th Birthday


sunkoalakid
She brought light to this world on an overcast day,
May 15, 1989.
Born into a family of entertainers, she was destined to become
A superstar, one of the divine nine.
So at the age of 9, she began to train for debut,
And with passion and hard work, her talents, they grew.
And after some time, she joined a group of eight
To make Girls’ Generation nine and seal their fate.

She’s known as the fake maknae for her very short height
And the gift of CCP*, her trademark.
SoShi’s energy pill, she has a friendly disposition
And 1000-watt smile that drives away the dark.
Fans and non-fans alike tout that she’s one-of-a-kind,
With inner beauty and strength that are very refined.
She shows appreciation by often wearing presents from fans,
During shows and events, and even on her way to Japan.

Despite her small stature, she protects her members well,
Springing into action when she is most needed.
Her ninja reflexes are unparalleled -
No matter the circumstance, she cannot be defeated.
Still, fireworks and other loud noises scare her,
But she doesn’t let them deter her.
In sickness and health, she always shows her best side
And comforts others, while her own emotions, she hides.

At first, by no means did she stand out from the rest -
Only “the aegyo queen,” as she came to be known.
Eventually, a singer, MC, DJ, actress,
And many more talents still to be shown.
Through “Invincible Youth”, she showed her Soonkyu side -
She befriended a cow and caught chickens with pride.
Many came to adore her for her bright disposition,
And it was then that this Sunshiner caught the Sunny condition.

And so now we celebrate our brave superhero,
25 going on 50-years-old.
The grandmother who cares for her SoShi children
Will always shine brightest with her heart of gold.
This goes out to the girl who has risen to fame,
To the girl who is a pro at video games,
To the girl who is truly as sweet as honey,
To our beautiful birthday girl, our love, Sunny.

Taeyeon Shares Photos Using New Instagram Account


taeyeonseason

On March 17th, Taeyeon opened an Instagram account and, to the delight of fans, has begun to share photos with her rapidly growing list of followers. Instagram is a photo-sharing service that allows users to quickly take pictures and share them through the internet.
Taeyeon continues to upload new images to her Instagram, ranging from a snapshot of her shoes to a photo of a road in Japan. Taeyeon also posted a message in an image, in which she explained why she chose to begin using Instagram. Her message reads:
Everyone! This is Taeyeon from Japan~
I am always looking for ways to interact with you all, and I want to share happy news with you all the time!
I’ve always used the official homepage and UFOtown but I felt that was missing… something?
(There are lots of small things that I want to share from time to time)
But it’s not like I can spam the official homepage… that’s just not right ㅜ
and UFOtown is just me receiving questions to answer..
I thought… it would be nice if I could ask you questions as well ^^
I know exactly what everyone is worried about right now.
I also don’t want me or anyone close to me to be hurt..
The reason I started Instagram was to be closer with you all!
The time I spend outside of Korea increases
and because of that, the number of international SONEs increases.
I wanted to… share more simple, interesting, trivial things.
I will uploads pictures like everyone else!
It’s very similar to the official page. The only difference is that the main topic is Taeyeon.
But remember that this doesn’t mean I will stop using the official homepage or UFOtown, so
whoever wants to ask me questions, use UFO >_<
Come play often SONE :)


Taeyeon can be found on Instagram under the username taeyeon_ss. No other members of Girls’ Generation currently have an official Instagram account.
Check out all the photos Taeyeon has uploaded thus far and the captions included with them below.
