Yuri to step down from her MC position on ‘Music Core’

Girls’ Generation member Yuri will be stepping down from her position as an MC on MBC‘s Show! Music Core.
A representative wrote via Girls’ Generation official web page on the 27th,
Hello, everyone. MCs Tiffany & Yuri will be featuring on this week’s January 28th airing of MBC’s Show! Music Core, however this will be Yuri’s last day as an MC on the program. Although she would like to continue, she is stepping down in order to take up more challenging roles to improve herself as an artist for her fans. We hope that all of you will show your support for Yuri who has worked hard to show her best efforts thus far.”
Both Tiffany and Yuri began hosting the show in 2009, but stepped down the following year due to other obligations. It has not been long since they began hosting again, but it looks like Yuri will be busy with other activities, such as preparing for her leading role in new drama series, ‘Fashion King‘. No official word yet on who will take Yuri’s place as Tiffany’s co-host.
Who would you like to see co-host with Tiffany?

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?
