Seohyun shows off her S-line

Girls’ Generation maknae Seohyun is all grown up, captivating fans with her mature S-line figure.

On April 26, ‘1st Look’ magazine shared the above photo via Twitter saying, “A sneak peek of the cover shooting for 1st Look! The SM members have come together. The cover will be revealed on May 3.”

SM explains the reason of naming Girls' Generation's unit 'TaeTiSeo'

Girls’ Generation has formed its first unit group since debuting in 2007, and named the unit as ‘TaeTiSeo’. The name is based on first Korean characters of the three members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun.

In a lot of cases, unit groups come up with completely different names in order to distinguish them from their original groups. Particularly, Super Junior had named their own sub-unit ‘K.R.Y’, while After School has ‘Orange Caramel’ and Rainbow with ‘Pixie’. However, SM just gave Girls’ Generation’s unit a plain and rather harder to pronounce name, ‘TaeTiSeo’.

A representative from SM Entertainment explained, “We named them using the first letter of each member’s name because Girls’ Generation’s unit group is not permanently set. Depending on their song and album concept in the future, the members can definitely change. Waiting to see which members will form a new unit will become fun for the fans.”

“Since the members can keep changing, we had to pick a name that’s easy to remember and not so confusing to the fans”, the agency added.

Meanwhile, all the tracks of Girls’ Generation TaeTiSeo’ mini album “Twinkle” will be first released worldwide through iTunes on April 29th.

Taeyeon to perform 'Missing You Like Crazy' on 'Music Core'

In addition to being one of the three MCs on MBC’s “Show! Music Core”, Taeyeon will be taking the stage this week to sing her latest OST song, “Missing You Like Crazy”.

The track was released on March 28th and instantly rose to the top of every chart for an all-kill on the online music sites. The song has also been number one on KBS Music Bank’s OST chart for the past three weeks. Taeyeon has received praise from fans and critics alike, calling her the new “OST Queen”.

A short promotional teaser will also be shown for Girls’ Generation – TTS’s appearance on next week’s episode, when fellow MCs Tiffany and Seohyun will join Taeyeon to perform their new song, “Twinkle”. Don’t miss Taeyeon’s performance on this week’s “Show! Music Core”, airing on April 28th at 4:00pm KST.

Yuri's Mamonde CF receives criticisms

As previously reported, Girls’ Generation member Yuri, who has been praised for her recent attempt at acting, has joined Super Junior's Choi Siwon as Amore Pacific’s Mamonde’s new model.

Yuri’s new CF for the brand began airing on television on April 22nd, but unexpectedly received heavy criticisms for sending the wrong message to its young viewers.

The commercial shares the easiest method to obtaining a new luxury-brand handbag. It first gives several ways of saving money including finding another job, not going out with friends, and continually monitoring your own bank account.

But in the end, Yuri gives up all options and complains, “It’s too complicated. It’s going to take too long.” Then the commercial comes up with a final solution, saying, “just get a boyfriend” who will buy the bag for you.

The commercial ends with its slogan, “The only solution” and introduces their own ‘one simple solution’ to resolving all your skin troubles.

Netizens expressed their displeasure over the commercials saying, “The concept is so strange”, “Even as a woman I’m uncomfortable with this” and “How can they suggest that you can have handbags as long as you date men?”
