Lim Changjung, "SNSD's Yoona is interested in me?"


Actor/singer Lim Changjung expressed his affection for girl group SNSD.

On the 10th, Lim Changjung guest starred on tvN 'Taxi' and revealed that SNSD's Yoona is his ideal type.

He said he saw lots of idols when promoting his album and confessed, "When I made eye contact with Yoona while greeting SNSD, it freshened my mood and it was so nice."

He added, "The 9 (SNSD) members personally gave me a letter before, and Yoona had written one more line than the other members. She said she has been a fan of mine, and it seems she is interested in me." The others denounced his words by saying it's a 'self-centered interpretation'.

SNSD fans go all out for Taeyeon’s 23rd birthday

On March 9th, SNSD’s Naver fan cafe, ‘Sisters‘; Daum fan cafe, ‘HwaSuEunHwa‘; and Taeyeon’s Naver fan cafe, ‘HwaiTaeng‘; congratulated Taeyeon on her 23rd birthday with an advertisement in a sports newspaper.

In particular, fans were able to wittily express their affection by including all the titles of Taeyeon’s solo songs within the ad.

The birthday event did not end there though, as Taeyeon’s fans personally produced a song and even made a charity donation.

On March 8th, a file of the song “Taengday Tribute Song“, which one fan directly wrote and sung, was uploaded onto various internet bulletins.

Not only this, but donations of 1,000,000 won ($896.46) were made to both the Chungbok Headquarters and the Junbok Headquarters of the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation under Taeyeon’s name. In addition, fans even volunteered at the two headquarters of the foundation.

Taeyeon, we wish you a happy 23rd birthday!

Volunteer work also took place at the wish center at the Child Fund's headquarters in Chungcheongbuk-do (around Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do) and the Jeonju Jalimwon center* at the headquarters in Jeollabuk-do (around Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do).

The Cistus team leader, who was behind planning the donation and volunteer work, Kim Soohyun (32), revealed, "Although there were many applicants, we had to limit the number of people that could actually participate in the volunteer work. We will work to expand the location and limits of volunteer work in the future to allow more fans to work together."

'Samchon fan' Lee (37), who came all the way from Busan to participate in the volunteer work in Jeonju, stated, "Volunteer work is so fun that I'm slowly getting addicted. I leave after receiving something greater than what I had come to give."

Meanwhile, SNSD will be releasing their new Japanese single 'Mr. Taxi' this coming April.
