Sunny gets called out for racy stage outfit


The next SNSD member to be called out for a "racy outfit" after Tiffany and Taeyeon is Sunny.

Recently, a photo of Sunny has surfaced online. On the photo Sunny can be seen wearing a see through top where you can see her cleavage clearly. Attention on sunny's figure hasn't been of much interest on fans before but now Sunny clearly has the bombshell figure and fans are noticing it now.

Though Sunny is indeed sexy, some netizens find it a little too revealing considering that a good sum of SNSD's audiences are young females. Netizens commented, "Girls Generations are now showing more", "I always though Sunny was the cute one", "She's maturing now", "wow, im envious".

In 2011, Girls’ Generation (Shoujo Jidai) won the ‘New Artist of the Year’ award and the ‘Best 5 New Artists’ award in the 25th Japan Gold Disc Award. It is truly an admirable achievement for last year’s recipient of best new artist to be awarded ‘Album of the Year’ after one short year. Congratulations and good job, girls!

Jessica only shows the left side of her face on camera?


Recently, a compilation of Jessica's Photo's was shared online. Among the photo's are screen cap's of her appearance in the drama she's currently participating "Wild Romance". Netizens have noticed that most of the time, or 99% of the time, Jessica only shows the left side of her face to the camera!

Coincidence? or Intended? Netizens are hoping that the camera would also capture Jessica on the other side of her face, though I dont think it will matter since Jessica is pretty on both sides of her face, Right?

Yuri steps down as MC of MBC "Show! Music Core"


On the 27th of January, a representative of Girls’ Generation left a message on the girls’ official website stating that Yuri will be resigning from being a MC on MBC’s “Show! Music Core”.

Yuri will be hosting her last show on the 28th of January alongside Tiffany, but while Yuri will be stepping down, fans will be glad to hear that Tiffany will continue hosting the show. The staff also left a short message saying that, “Although it is unfortunate, Yuri will be showing a better image to the fans through other activities. Therefore, please show your support towards MC Yuri who has been presenting a good image thus far.”

Tiffany and Yuri first started hosting MBC’s “Show! Music Core” on the 4th of April 2009 but resigned on the 31st of July 2010 due to their Japanese activities. However, fans were elated when it was revealed late last year that Tiffany and Yuri will be taking over their spots once again starting on October 15th.
