Girls' Generation's "Mr.Mr" music video became the first K-pop MV released this year to surpass 20 million views on YouTube!

Previously, Girls' Generation were also the first to surpass 10 million views, so it doesn't come as a surprise that they're the first to hit the 20 million mark in 2014. As the MV was released on February 28, that means it's only taken them about 2 months to make the record!

Congrats to Girls' Generation and their fans.

‘me!’ Magazine Features Jessica and f(x)’s Krystal

“me!” magazine recently published a feature about Jessica and Krystal’s visit to Los Angeles. The sisters attended Jimmy Choo’s “CHOO.08” launch party on April 15th and participated in a photoshoot for the British high fashion house. They also met Jimmy Choo’s creative director, Sandra Choi.

Jessica, Krystal, and Sandra sat down with “me!” for a brief interview. Krystal revealed that, while she owns about 100 pairs of shoes, she cannot share with her sister because their feet are different sizes, and they do not share the same sense of style. Jessica later added that since she doesn't have a lot of high heels, she’s in search of a pair of dark blue “Abel” brand shoes that she can wear for various occasions.

In addition to the interview, “me!” put together some clips of the three women talking and admiring a wide selection of shoes. Watch the video below, and check out last week’s News Wrap for more photos of the Jung sisters’ stay in L.A.
