SNSD’s One Fine Day interview with ELLE

Is there anyone busier than idols these days? SNSD would especially be busy as they are currently performing all throughout Asia. Recently having gained the title ‘Dior’s Muse’ due to their new endorsement with the cosmetics brand, six members of the group sat down with Kang Ok Jin, editor of ELLE.

The editor commented on the members’ down-to-earth personalities, stating that, although they were stars, the members of SNSD were also bright young girls.

When the topic of ‘meal plans’ was brought up, the girls laughed off the idea. Sunny stated, “We eat whatever we want. We are very active so we have to eat often.” Hyoyeon added, ”After 10PM, YoonAalways wants to eat roast chicken. So we eat together.” Sooyoung also talked about her metabolism, explaining, ”I want to gain some weight but I can’t. I don’t gain weight easily.”

When asked about the recent holidays, the girls each stated where they visited for their break. Tiffanywent back home to San Francisco, Yuri visited Bali with her family. In fact, every member except Hyoyeon (who went to a ski resort) traveled overseas. The girls explained that, whenever they go overseas to film or perform, they can barely leave their hotels and that, although they don’t mind people’s stares, the members have gotten uncomfortable with the increasing amount of people who recognize them across the continent.

The ladies also revealed their ideal honeymoon spots, listing Greece (Sooyoung), Praha (Hyoyeon), Bora Bora (Yuri), Hawaii (Sunny), Mexico Cabo (Tiffany) as well as Milan and Firenze (Jessica).

Aside from talking about themselves, SNSD also discussed beauty. ”My skin is allergic to many things, so I get skin troubles easily. I use Dior products these days and they seem to work well,” Sunny explained. “I don’t touch my face when I get pimples,” Hyoyeon reflected.

As for the member that was most interested in make-up, the unanimous decision pointed at Taeyeon, who was supposedly both interested and skilled at using makeup products. As for fashion, Sooyoung revealed her favorite designers to be Isabel Marant and Alexander Wang, while Tiffany professed her love for D&G and Bluemarine. ”I really want to go to the New York Fashion Week. Isn’t it next week?” Sooyoung wished aloud. If I didn’t become a singer, I would’ve worked in the fashion industry.”

Japanese magazine “Real Live” speculates on the end of SNSD

Lately, with the legal troubles surrounding KARA, the Japanese media have been looking critically at the Korean music industry, which is such a dominant force in Japan (SNSD!). The Japanese magazine “Real Live” recently ran an article entitled, “Was it just KARA? SNSD may also disband.”


The article said that because the group was too diverse–consisting of college students, high school graduates, and Americans, and seven out of nine are 21 years old–there is a lot of rivalry. “Real Live” talked about rumored controversies over Yoona lifting Tiffany’s skirt and Jessica cursing Seohyun. Then, “Real Live” pulled out the big guns–they talked about DBSK’s disbandment.


This article has attracted a lot of negative attention from kpop fans: all groups have personal difficulties, to not have any problems wouldn’t be human, and also, DBSK disbanded because of contract issues, not a rivalry within the group. What do you think?

SNSD named #2 ‘Power’ Girl Group in Japan

Right after Forbes Korea ranked SNSD first in 8th annual Korea’s Power Celebrity 40, Japan’s Nikkei Entertainment has named SNSD the number two ‘Power’ Girl Group in Japan.


To compute the list, Nikkei used 2010 average sales for singles:

1. AKB48: 684,800 copies

2. SNSD: 679,000 copies

3. KARA

4. Perfume


With KARA having legal difficulties, it’s hard to imagine any Korean girl group giving SNSD some serious competition right now. Maybe this will change with 2NE1′s debut in Japan?

少女时代!!“恐“!!解散


韩国女子团体攻日有成,随KARA成员闹分家引发关注后,日本<周刊日潮>最新一期指出少女时代成员因“学历,国籍差异”搞小圈圈,陷入解散危机。对此,少女时代所属的经济公司”SM ENTERTAINMENT”无奈表示:“恶意报道,没有对应的价值。”


9人分三派


《周刊日潮》指出,少女时代自成三派,高中毕业的泰妍,孝渊,珊妮等3人是一派,允儿,秀英,俞利,徐贤4人的“大学生派”美国出生张大的芬妮,西卡则属“ABK派”,拼写到9名成员中有7人同龄(21岁),彼此较劲意味浓厚“。尤其是秀英及允儿等大学生对只有高中学历但手歌迷宠爱及公司厚待的队长泰妍非常嫉妒。


报道中还翻起旧账证实成员们内,指允儿曾欺负芬妮,不但掀她裙子,害她露底裤,还臭脸相对。西卡则不满徐贤档镜头,出手推她骂。还有孝渊曾对高中同校的泰妍说:”在一起的话很不自在,连饭都吃不下。“但这些当时经纪公司早已出面消毒否认。


SM娱乐冷处理


该刊并访问韩国唱片公司相关人士,表示少女时代眼睁睁看着师兄东方神起的合约分争,到最近的KARA闹分家,因此推断将有1~2名成员退团的可能性很高,直言:”离看不见9人展现美腿跳舞的日子不远了“


即使他们的经纪公司选择冷处里,但死忠粉丝们纷表不满:”日本嫌韩令人厌恶。“少女时代解散说"根本不像话”

日媒唱衰少女時代 搞小圈圈恐解散 ? 我去你TMD,我9只在日本大势你们嫉妒?

【少女時代】歡樂の屋

刚刚我邻居来我家时候对我说:‘嘿,你的少女时代要解散liao!

我突然间莫名其妙,到底是什么回事?4月9只还要发专辑然后突然间说解散?

我去查了各大论坛,发现一点关于节约的消息都没有!

哇,怎么前线粉丝没拿到的消息,报章就知道了?

我去看了报纸,说是日本媒体给予的一些消息。。。

说什么9只分3派?高中派?大学派?Abk派?红蓝黄3派就有啦~

还有一大堆胡扯~

‘報導中還翻起舊帳證實成員們內訌,指潤娥曾欺負蒂芬妮,不但掀她裙子、害她露底褲,還臭臉相對。潔西卡則不滿徐玄擋鏡頭,出手推她辱罵。還有孝淵曾對高中同校的泰妍說︰「在一起的話很不自在,連飯都吃不下。」但這些當時經紀公司早已出面消毒否認。’

我们允儿欺负fany?开玩笑,我们允儿是出了名的爱玩+调皮的,fany刚好也是最常被允儿作弄的,别只会拿掀裙子那么吸睛的字来说,我还可以告诉你写一些别的,像是允儿喜欢喝完药过后用口气来熏fany,还有喜欢用fany讨厌的娃娃音来作弄她!你写啊,怎么你不写这个?

徐贤挡ssica?开玩笑,大韩明国代表的人品idol啊!,我们徐贤的懂事和单纯是会让人觉得夸张到佩服的啊~忙内挡ssica?我们听过,允儿挡ssica那就见识了~

孝渊那个就对了,不过问题是,【那句话是在刚认识泰妍不久的时候说的,不是在现在!】,和刚认识陌生人有这种反应很正常不是吗?那旧闻来小题大做?让世人误解?老套。。。

是Sone都知道假的夸张啦~

人红是非多,垃圾报道一大堆~

我说小日本啊,你们真是事吃饱撑着没事情做?

大势总是被妒忌。。。haiz~~





The “average” faces of the top girl groups compared by netizens

L-R, clockwise: Kara, 2NE1, T-ara, Wonder Girls, f(x), SNSD

Recently, combining the faces of idol group members to create a “mean” or “average face” image for the group has become popular on the various portal sites. Shortly after SNSD’s average face imagewas released on KBS2TV’s “Sponge Zero” using faceresearch.org, netizens began to combine the faces of other popular girl groups.

Out of compilation photos from these groups “average faces,” certain members’ faces stood out more prominently than others. For example, the Wonder Girls‘ mean face image seems to resemble member Ye-eun (Yenny)’s face the most. Similarly, 2NE1’s average face shows a marked resemblance to Park Bom, while f(x)’s face resembles that of Amber.

Amongst netizens, T-ara’s mean face generated the most attention for its “doll-like” characteristics and the preservation of the members’ individual features. Which face do you like the best?

‘YongSeo’ share their first kiss on “We Got Married”

SNSD’s Seohyun and CNBLUE’s Jung Yong Hwa finally shared their first kiss! Well, sort of.

On this week’s broadcast of MBC’s “We Got Married” on March 5th, the ‘YongSeo’ couple continued with their wedding photoshoot, for which they dressed up in bright and fun-styled clothes to match their ‘elementary school‘ concept.

During the photoshoot, the director asked Seohyun to give Yong Hwa a peck on his cheek. No matter how many times they shot the ‘kiss’ scene, Seohyun was adamant on not letting her lips actually touch Yong Hwa’s cheek. But the ‘husband’ was content nevertheless, as he laughed and stated, “I only felt the breath from her nose.”

It was only until the last minute of their shoot when Seohyun did indeed peck his cheek, giving a lovely and innocently cute photo as the final result.
