Girls' Generation tops Oricon's daily album chart with 'The Best'

Girls' Generation is doing very well with the release of their Japanese best-of compilation album, 'The Best'!  With their widespread popularity in Japan, it really comes as no surprise that all their on-site fans are rushing to the stores to purchase this gem of a Girls' Generation album, which includes all of their hit singles from 2010 to 2014 along with a new track, "Indestructible."

The album was released on July 23 and it has already topped the daily albums chart on Oricon with 37,104 sales!  Congratulations to the girls on this achievement.

Sunny says she is not the type to talk about her inner feelings and thoughts

On MBC radio program 'Sunny's FM Date,' MC Sunny opened up more to her listeners, giving further insight into her personality.

The listeners asked whether she was the type to easily say what she was sincerely feeling or her inner thoughts.  She said, "Now that I think about it, I don't think I'm the type that talk about my inner thoughts very often.  I think that people should be able to understand my true feelings even if I don't say them aloud.  I also think that it is more sincere to approach somebody with your heart more than your words."

She continued with her wisdom, "Don't a lot of couples say this?  One person says, 'I love you' while the other person says, 'Okay, thanks,' which causes the first person to ask, 'Why don't you say you love me?'  I think I would respond like this, 'Do I really need to say that for you to know?'

Today, I will try to relay to all of you my feelings that can be known even without being told.  However, I don't think you'd be able to know if I don't say them because it's a radio," ending with laughter.

What are your thoughts on this?

Sunny addresses the large response to previous statement that Girls' Generation scrub their bodies

On the July 21 edition of Sunny's MBC radio program, 'Sunny's FM Date', the bubbly MC addressed a previous comment she made that garnered a hotter response than she expected.  

Sunny said, "On yesterday's broadcast, I talked about Girls' Generation scrubbing dirt and dead skin cells, and did not know that it would have such a large effect.  I think there are some people who keep sighing because the fantasy image they had about Girls' Generation has broken with a crash.  Isn't it good to share things from our everyday life?" 

She continued, "Some people may not want this, but I think it's good to share all of our everyday life to the last detail," as a good reminder that Girls' Generation are people with dirt and dead skin cells to scrub off, too, and there's nothing wrong with that!

Sunny reported to get hit by a car door in the eye + proceeds with her schedules as normal

Fortunately it was just a minor injury. 

On July 22nd, according to SM Entertainment, Sunny got hit by a car door in her left eye on July 20th. She was later transferred to a hospitaland received treatment. Thought she wasn't seriously injured, but because her eye became bloodshot she was advised to wear an eyepatch. 

SM Entertainment also consoled the fans by saying that the injury won't interfere with her schedules and daily activities, in particular she is currently recording for MBC's 'Wishing Star' as planned today. 

We wish you a speedy recovery Sunny!
