Taeyeon Continues to MC "Gaon Chart Awards" Despite an Injury!


On February 22nd, Taeyeon and Joo YoungHoon were the MCs for the ’1st GaOn Chart Kpop Awards’, which took place in Blue Square Samsung Card Hall in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Despite suffering from an injury on her toenail, Taeyeon held on and carried out her duty as an MC.
At the award ceremony, YoonA who accepted the ‘Oricon Special Award’ on behalf of Girls’ Generation gave her thanks and expressed her thoughts and feelings upon receiving the award. She then pointed to Taeyeon, requesting the leader to say a few words. Upon her request, Taeyeon who did not leave the MC-ing spot, gave her acceptance speech.
Joo YoungHoon then explained, “While Taeyeon is having an injury where her toe nail flipped off before the award ceremony today, she decided to proceed with her MC-ing duty.”
Feeling rather embarrassed with YoungHoon’s explanation, Taeyeon said,”You don’t have to go into the details, I’m ok. It’s only a very small injury.”
Due to the injury sustained, Taeyeon had to take off her high heels and put on a pair of slippers instead during the award ceremony.
Following this, netizens commented, “By proceeding with her MC-ing duty despite the painful toe nail injury, Taeyeon has shown a great sense of professionalism”, “Indeed, she is Girls’ Generation’s leader”, “I hope Taeyeon will have a speedy recovery”, etc.

Girls' Generation Become 'Flowers' in Third e-ma Commercial!


The third e-ma Nodoame (Translator’s note: nodoame means throat candy) commercial featuring Girls’ Generation is set to air on February 25th in Japan.
The theme for the first e-ma commercial was “dinner party”, which was accompanied by the Japanese version of “Gee”. The second commercial’s theme was “dollhouse”, while the song “Bad Girl” was playing in the background. For the latest commercial, the theme will be “a flower that blooms in the city” with the new song from the re-packaged Japanese album “Time Machine” being used as the background track.
The members of Girls’ Generation represent a “refreshing flower”, which draws comparison to the refreshing feeling a customer will experience when eating the candy. During the commercial, the girls are flower petals that eventually become a “beautiful flower” when all nine members gather together. The commercial ends with the girls standing in a row before a large metropolis as dawn approaches. In that ending moment, the theme is complete as the “flowers” bloom beautifully and with pride.
Filming for the commercial took place in the outskirts of Seoul in order to accommodate the increasingly busy schedules of Girls’ Generation. Throughout the entire filming session, the girls never complained and continued to work diligently with smiles on their faces.

Taeyeon Continues to MC "Gaon Chart Awards" Despite an Injury


Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon received praise when she injured her toe and continued to emcee the Gaon Chart K-POP Awards.

Taeyeon injured her toenail while she performed her MC duties with Joo Younghoon in “The First Gaon Chart K-POP Awards” that was held at the Samsung Card Hall in Blue Square.

Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon and Yoona accepted the “Special Oricon Award” on behalf of all the members. After Yoona’s acceptance speech, she asked Taeyeon to deliver her own speech. At this time, Taeyeon said her acceptance speech despite still being in the MC stands.

At this, Joo Younghoon explained, “Taeyeon has ripped her toenail during the awards and she is still doing her duties as an MC while fighting through the pain.”

Taeyeon replied by saying, “You don’t have to say that with so much detail. I’ve only gotten hurt a little bit,” and eased the fans’ hearts.

But Taeyeon had to put on slippers instead of high heels because of her injury.

Fans expressed their sadness by saying, “If her toenail was flipped then the pain would be horrible”, “There should be limitations to dancing”, “Taeyeon is really admirable. She didn’t show her pain..She has more than enough rights to be the kid leader”, and, “Make sure to get medical attention for it”.
