Girls' Generation to be appointed ambassadors for the Korean Retinitis Pigmentosa Society (KRPS)!

Girls’ Generation has been appointed as ambassadors for the Korean Retinitis Pigmentosa Society (KRPS).

Korean Retinitis Pigmentosa Society (KRPS) is an organisation that helps those who are visually impaired and conducts research for a treatment, while also supporting the welfare and rehabilitation of those affected by this illness.

KRPS talked about the difficulties they were facing, “Recently, through research that was conducted overseas, a lot of people have been able to regain their sights. But in Korea, there aren’t a lot of facilities that supported such research.”

They continued saying, “Even with these difficulties, thanks to K-Pop and Girls’ Generation, as well as Girls’ Generation’s international fansite ‘Soshified’, which consisted of many fans from America and Canada, decided to help raise funds for our organisation. Also an agency in Australia called ‘Aus2one Entertainment’ has organised a small K-Pop concert to be held in July in two cities, Sydney and Melbourne, calling the event, ‘KRPS Charity Concert’.” Lastly, they expressed their gratitude saying,“Even though it is an organisation outside their own country, to help out with a cause in Korea, we are just delighted and very grateful.”

KRPS representative spoke out about the members being appointed as the ambassadors, “Girls’ Generation’s members have had interest in this cause and have frequently donated to this society. When we asked SM Entertainment about the members being appointed ambassadors, they happily accepted our request.”

The ceremony to appoint the Girls’ Generation members as ambassadors for the Korean Retinitis Pigmentosa Society will be held at the Ara Marina Convention in Gimpo, Kyeong-gi Do, on April 14th.

On the April 9th episode of SBS ‘Fashion King’, Choi Anna (Yuri) went to find Kang Young Gul (Yoo Ah In) to speak maliciously about Lee Ga Young (Shin Se Kyung).

Anna looked around Young Gul’s Dongdaemun factory and realized that he was selling knock-off brand name clothing. “What is this, what are you guys doing?” an angry Anna asked Young Gul. “Can you not think straight, now that Michael has given you some attention?”

“I’ll cancel the contract breaching fee, so take Lee Ga Young back,” she continued. “I’ll be sure to let you walk away with more money, so text me your bank account information.”

Young Gul then pulled her in for an embrace and said with a sly smile, “Be honest. You’re here because you missed me, right?”

“Crazy fool,” Anna responded, causing Young Gul to suddenly pull her in and kiss her. Displeased, Anna slapped him across the face and remarked, “I was the crazy fool to think that trash like yourself would be able to feel humane heartache and pain.”
