Her legs kept trembling during the show but she persevered till the end and was seen crying after that. It was also reported that the rest member rushed to the hospital after hearing the news.

Girls’ Generation talks about their reactions to the dating rumors between Sooyoung and Won Bin

Girl’s Generation talked about the dating rumors between Won Bin and Sooyoung.

The ladies held a press conference for the release of “I Got A Boy“, and when asked about the dating rumors, they responded, “We knew how untrue it was, so we laughed so much about it.” The members also revealed that their first response when hearing about the ‘scandal’ was, “Hul [expression used to convey disbelief, shock, surprise, etc.], Why?”

Taeyeon said, “We have a chat room together all the time. We told each other the news and laughed about it. For us, it was so unrealistic that we just laughed about it, but as the person involved [Sooyoung] must have been a little bothered because people kept talking about it.”

Sooyoung also spoke up about her feelings at the time, stating, “At first I brushed it off as a bit of fun… I never met him[Won Bin] before and have never been at a similar location as him either… I was shocked, but I did feel good at first… However, rumors kept spreading and articles kept coming out, so my heart didn’t feel so great anymore.”

She concluded, “I think it’s a relief that it was cleared up and ended well. I think of it as an honor to have been in a scandal with him, but he isn’t my ideal type,” once again putting an end to the rumors.

‘STONEHENGE’ ad featuring the ‘Jung sisters’ (Jessica & Krystal) is a copy off of the Fanning sisters’ previous photoshoot?

As mentioned earlier, the ‘Jung sisters’, Girls’ Generation‘s Jessica and f(x)‘s Krystal, recently posed for jewelry brand ‘STONEHENGE‘.

The pictorial was unveiled earlier and garnered the attention of fans as the photos showcased the flawless beauty of the two sisters.

However, although the ad is beautiful and the sisters are undoubtedly stunning in the photos, netizens have pointed out that it looks all too familiar. It turns out the ad featuring Jessica and Krystal looked pretty much identical to celebrity sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning‘s pictorial in ‘W‘ fashion magazine’s December 2011 issue.

Many were upset that the two sisters were unfortunately involved in a pictorial that seem to be a blatant copy off the Fanning sisters’, and voiced their opinions, writing, “[STONEHENGE] totally copied. It’s embarrassing”, “Why did the photoshoot director use this type of concept”, “Does [STONEHENGE] not have any dignity”, and “Can we not copy off foreign pictorials?”

However, some believed that it was intentional and meant to be noticed, commenting, “Since the Fanning sisters are very famous and the Jessica and Krystal also happen to be sisters, maybe they decided to parody the concept on purpose?”
