Girls’ Generation Makes Surprise Visit to Support Yoona at ‘Prime Minister and I’ Filming Set

On December 29th, Girls’ Generation made a surprise visit to the set of “Prime Minister and I”. More than anything, on the same day, at the same time, at the same location, the SBS “Gayo Daejun” was taking place. Despite the overlapping schedule, Girls’ Generation upheld their friendship with Yoona by using their time in between and rushed to the set of “Prime Minister and I” to support Yoona.

Yoona was delighted with the unexpected visit and couldn’t hide her gratitude to the members’ for their strong friendship. It was said that Girls’ Generation’s appearance also stirred up the set as well.

Girls’ Generation greeted director Lee Soyeon, as well as each staff member. They heated up the atmosphere by showing their loyalty, watching Lee Bumsoo and Yoona filming.

According to the production staff, Girls’ Generation’s special visit pushed on for their (translator’s note: to show) friendship with Yoona. Girls’ Generation gave strength by giving a heart-warming gift, saying, “We came to cheer on Yoona, who is going back and forth with performances and her drama during busy year-end schedules, by providing her a little, but meaningful, support.”

The production staff of “Prime Minister and I” revealed, “Thanks to Girls’ Generation’s surprise visit, the actors and staff got strength like they received a year-end present, and we were able to forget the cold for a moment and continued on the shoot with a warm mood. I want to take this time to give thanks to Girls’ Generation.”

The SMTOWNGLOBAL Twitter account later shared another photo from the “Prime Minister and I” filming set, showing Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun.

Taeyeon Shares Photos Using New Instagram Account

Original article from March 21st, 2013:

On March 17th, Taeyeon opened an Instagram account and, to the delight of fans, has begun to share photos with her rapidly growing list of followers. Instagram is a photo-sharing service that allows users to quickly take pictures and share them through the internet.

Taeyeon continues to upload new images to her Instagram, ranging from a snapshot of her shoes to a photo of a road in Japan. Taeyeon also posted a message in an image, in which she explained why she chose to begin using Instagram. Her message reads:

Everyone! This is Taeyeon from Japan~

I am always looking for ways to interact with you all, and I want to share happy news with you all the time!

I’ve always used the official homepage and UFOtown but I felt that was missing… something?

(There are lots of small things that I want to share from time to time)

But it’s not like I can spam the official homepage… that’s just not right ㅜ

and UFOtown is just me receiving questions to answer..

I thought… it would be nice if I could ask you questions as well ^^

I know exactly what everyone is worried about right now.

I also don’t want me or anyone close to me to be hurt..

The reason I started Instagram was to be closer with you all!

The time I spend outside of Korea increases

and because of that, the number of international SONEs increases.

I wanted to… share more simple, interesting, trivial things.

I will uploads pictures like everyone else!

It’s very similar to the official page. The only difference is that the main topic is Taeyeon.

But remember that this doesn’t mean I will stop using the official homepage or UFOtown, so

whoever wants to ask me questions, use UFO >_<

Come play often SONE :)

Taeyeon can be found on Instagram under the username taeyeon_ss.

Check out all the photos Taeyeon has uploaded thus far and the captions included with them below.
