SM Entertainment have yet to receive the ‘Korean Day’ request from Oryx

SM Entertainment said they have yet to receive official request from Oryx Buffaloes to have SNSD in Osaka on April 23rd for the ‘Korean Day’ baseball match.

On March 10th SM Entertainment told Star News, “We have not received any request from Oryx’s side regarding SNSD’s participation in the match which involves pitching and batting the first ball of the match, etc”.

Prior to this, a representative from Oryx Buffaloes said they have decided to invite the girls over for the game in Kyocera Dome, Osaka on April 23rd to cheer for Oryx Buffaloes and Korean baseball stars Park Chanho and Lee Seungyeob, pitching and batting the opening ball and also to sing the national anthem.

Since no official request was received so far, Park Chanho and Lee Seungyeob’s dream to have SNSD pitching and batting the opening ball in front of them seems to be rather uncertain.

Kim Gura: It’s because SNSD are promoting in Japan

March 9, Sistar’s Bora and Hyorin, and Secret’s Sunhwa and Jieun were guests on Radio Star.

Kim Gookjin introduced them by stating “They are currently the hottest idols in Korea besides IU.” Upon that statement, Kim Goora reasoned “That’s because SNSD are in Japan right now, and Kara are in confusion.”

Kim Goora also mentioned the CEO of Sistar’s agency and stated “The agency was originally promoting K.Will, but changed to promoting Sistar. It’s probably because all he knows is copying Wheesung’s voice.”

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'.
