YoonA and Lee Bum Soo positively reviewing new KBS drama

Actor Lee Bum Soo and Girls’ Generation’s YoonA are in talks to lead the newest Mondays-Tuesdays KBS drama ‘Prime Minister and I.’

‘Prime Minister and I’ is described as the Korean version of the famous story ‘Sound of Music,’ depicting a young governess who comes to the prime minister’s house to work.

If Yoona accepts the offer, she will be playing the governess, who works at the Prime Minister’s House. Lee Bum Soo is in talks for the prime minister role. Due to the age gap between the two lead characters, many fans are looking forward on seeing their on-screen chemistry.

The drama will be penned by scriptwriters Yoon Eun Kyung and Kim Eun Hee, and will be produced by SM C&C, the subsidiary of YoonA’s agency SM Entertainment.

Taeyeon and Seohyun Appear on ‘Mnet Wide News’ for ‘Despicable Me 2′

Taeyeon and Seohyun were recently interviewed on “Mnet Wide News” about their promotions for “Despicable Me 2″, including the opening pitch ceremony they participated in several weeks ago.

The program shows clips of Taeyeon and Seohyun’s recent appearance at the premiere of “Despicable Me 2”, interspersed with clips of the two in the middle of voice-acting and introducing their characters in the movie, Margo and Agnes.

The two also speak a bit about how fond they are of the “minions”, which the program highlights with a clip of the Instagram video Taeyeon took of a set of minions who greeted Girls’ Generation at Incheon Airport.

The program then transitions into Taeyeon and Seohyun’s recent appearance as part of the opening pitch ceremony for an LG Twins baseball game. Seohyun mentions, “Honestly, I was more nervous than [Taeyeon] was. Where was she going to throw it? She wasn’t going to throw it at my face, was she?” Taeyeon playfully brushes off the accuracy of her pitch, referring to it as a “shot-pitch” and comments, “At least I didn’t plant it in the ground~”.

The girls are then asked a series of miscellaneous questions, such as “Who is the messiest member in the dorm?”, and “Who takes the best ‘funny’ pictures?” For the first question, Taeyeon singles herself out as the messiest, commenting that she has a dog who likes to run around and mess things up. Meanwhile, Seohyun selects Tiffany, reasoning that her family’s home in the United States is very far away, so her stuff tends to pile up.

For the second question, both members reply that out of all the Girls’ Generation members, Sooyoung takes the funniest pictures, and that Sooyoung has angles and facial muscles that the other members didn’t even know existed.

The full clip of the interview can be found below.

Taeyeon and Seohyun Discuss ‘Despicable Me 2′ in Interview with Cine21

Continuing on from the original film, Taeyeon and Seohyun were in charge of the voice acting for Margo and Edith in “Despicable Me 2″. The oldest, Margo, who nagged and frugally took care of her younger sisters, has already greeted adolescence with heartaches over her first love. Edith had grown into a tomboy, learning all sorts of sports and martial arts. When asked one thing, Taeyeon and Seohyun would exchange a bundle of chatter. Despite the passed time, like the unruly sisters in “Despicable Me”, the Taeyeon and Seohyun who we met three years later through Cine21’s magazine were still bright and innocent girls.

You’re taking part in the sequel after the first film.

Seohyun: I used to think, ‘We’re going to do the next series, too!’, so it was really nice when they called for us again. Edith had become an even more mischievous girl.
Taeyeon: Wouldn’t the audience dislike the change in an unchanged character’s voice? Margo fell in love and became more mature.

What do you think about guys like Margo’s first love, Antonio?

Taeyeon: He’s a bit far from my ideal type. (laughs) I wish he’d be less greasy. When Antonio’s hair flutters, his flirtiness and charms also fly with it.

Margo and Edith’s appearance has decreased a lot.

Seohyun: It’s a pity. However, the significance of being able to take part in the “Despicable Me” series is greater.
Taeyeon: I don’t know if it’s because she got a little older, but Agnes really talks a lot! (laughs) There’s a lot of appearances by Lucy as well. Ahjumma, you’re mean~. (laughs) [Translator's note: ahjumma=middle-aged woman]

It seems the daughters don’t really welcome their new mother well.

Taeyeon: No. I’m just kidding. (laughs)
Seohyun: Now, wouldn’t life get better for the family since Lucy will put the kids to sleep on time, make them food, and bathe them well?

What kind of reaction did your other members have when they found out you would be dubbing again?

Seohyun: They all really liked it. Tiffany unnie said she’d come to today’s preview. Sunny unnie said she’d bring her nephew. They really liked when the minions came out to the airport the day we were leaving the country for our world tour.
Taeyeon: They all really liked it when we watched the subtitled version before our dubbing.
Seohyun: But they like Agnes the most. I’m sad! (laughs)

What’s the main part in voice acting for Margo and Edith?

Taeyeon: There can’t be a big difference from the first movie. Because the character is young, it was difficult trying to sound like a child’s voice. Margo now experiences a heartbreaking first love and disobeys her dad. I’m gaining an attachment towards her because it seems she’s slowly becoming like me. (laughs) I think that’s why I showed myself more a bit comfortably.
Seohyun: There was a time where I wanted to become a voice actress when I was younger. I think my experience, playing around, imitating the characters in cartoons, naturally affected it. While studying the character by myself, I thought a lot about what kind of voice she would speak in. Because it’s a young role, a boy’s voice that isn’t too feminine was also needed. When recording, I wrinkled my face similar to Edith’s.

If you were given the opportunity to play another character, who would you play?

Seohyun: Agnes! I want to play the role of either a really young child, or a really old grandmother. I think I would be able to do well.
Taeyeon (to Seohyun): Don’t you think it’d be difficult for another character as cute as Agnes to come about? I want to try Lucy’s role. I think it would be more comfortable to play than a young role.

What would be the point of focus for ‘Despicable Me 2’ if you were to choose one?

Taeyeon: We each did the voices for another character other than the ones we were in charge of. They are characters who pass by quickly. But try looking for our hidden voices~.
Seohyun: If I was to give you a hint, I’m a character who appears when Gru is reminiscing. It’s a movie that all generations can identify with, so I hope everyone would watch it with their family.
Taeyeon: The music is really nice, too. It’s good to go with friends, too. Music they play in clubs come on. (laughs)

Taeyeon Shares Photos Using New Instagram Account

Original article from March 21st, 2013:

On March 17th, Taeyeon opened an Instagram account and, to the delight of fans, has begun to share photos with her rapidly growing list of followers. Instagram is a photo-sharing service that allows users to quickly take pictures and share them through the internet.

Taeyeon continues to upload new images to her Instagram, ranging from a snapshot of her shoes to a photo of a road in Japan. Taeyeon also posted a message in an image, in which she explained why she chose to begin using Instagram. Her message reads:

Everyone! This is Taeyeon from Japan~

I am always looking for ways to interact with you all, and I want to share happy news with you all the time!

I’ve always used the official homepage and UFOtown but I felt that was missing… something?

(There are lots of small things that I want to share from time to time)

But it’s not like I can spam the official homepage… that’s just not right ㅜ

and UFOtown is just me receiving questions to answer..

I thought… it would be nice if I could ask you questions as well ^^

I know exactly what everyone is worried about right now.

I also don’t want me or anyone close to me to be hurt..

The reason I started Instagram was to be closer with you all!

The time I spend outside of Korea increases

and because of that, the number of international SONEs increases.

I wanted to… share more simple, interesting, trivial things.

I will uploads pictures like everyone else!

It’s very similar to the official page. The only difference is that the main topic is Taeyeon.

But remember that this doesn’t mean I will stop using the official homepage or UFOtown, so

whoever wants to ask me questions, use UFO >_<

Come play often SONE :)

Taeyeon can be found on Instagram under the username taeyeon_ss.

Check out all the photos Taeyeon has uploaded thus far and the captions included with them below.

13/8/21: I have always wanted to say this but it wasn't easy for me to say; thank you to the fans for taking wonderful photos of me whenever and wherever. I know that you always try to catch me in the best light possible even if I am scowling. I can't say this properly in writing, but I am so thankful that I come close to tearing up every time! Sometimes when I look at your photos I can see the affection that you have for me. There is a clear difference between taking a picture of just Taeyeon [with the flash on] and really trying to take a good picture even if it's just a strand of hair. I can feel it.. That's why I feel so thankful yet so sorry at the same time. It would be best if no one gets hurt physically or emotionally in the process of taking pictures since we can't help but worry for one another ^^ Aigoo what am I really trying to say??? Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, photos or not, I am really thankful for all your love and support.♥ To be honest, I want to learn how to take photos from SONEs keke. How is it that you are able to make me seem so fresh, lively, and well rested?? How????????? Everyone must be good at taking selcas right?? Ah I'm curious now... SONE selca... Haha everyone, even though I have a hard time expressing myself and can be a bit brusque, I am always looking for chances to express myself. It's just that my personality is like an ant^^ I wish we can meet like this for a long, long time^^♥ Sa. um... Do you love me??????????? (Translator's note: 'saranghaeyo' means 'I love you' in Korean but she changes that to 'saranghaeyo na?' which means 'do you love me' because she has the 'personality of an ant') Hehehe I love you SONE♥ From the airplane, Gwing Taeng goong (Translator's note: what she decided to call herself this time) to SONEs
