[NEWS] Hyoyeon a finalist on dancing with the stars




On July 13th, Hyoyeon, along with her partner Kim Hyungsuk, danced her way through the semi-finals of MBC’s “Dancing With The Stars II”. Avoiding elimination, the duo was two pairs out of three to successfully make it into the finals, which will be broadcast live next week.
In the semi-finals, contestants were required to perform two dances. Hyoyeon and Hyungsuk’s first performance was to “Rock & Roll Music!” by The Beatles, in which the pair managed to obtain nine, nine, and ten points from the judges, a near perfect score of 28 out of 30. Hyoyeon was the first contestant to receive a ten from the judges in the entire season.

Their second dance, “Way Back Into Love” by Hugh Grant and Haley Bennett, featured a special guest, none other than Hyoyeon’s labelmate, f(x)’s Luna, who sang the song live while Hyoyeon and her partner performed. The second performance was also praised by the judges, and the duo managed to earn nine, nine, and nine points, netting them an amazing score of 27 out of 30.

At the end of the show, Hyoyeon and Hyungsuk were announced as one of the pairs that would continue to the finals, competing against actress Choi Yeojin and her partner, professional dancer Park Jiwoo.



To congratulate Hyoyeon on her success in getting through to the finals, fans started a trending topic on Twitter. “Congrats Hyoyeon” trended at 9th place worldwide when the results were announced.



Before the broadcast for the semi-finals began, Tiffany left a message on Girls’ Generation’s Official Website asking SONEs to watch the broadcast and to support Hyoyeon, mentioning that she will be watching it too.



Tiffany left another message on Girls’ Generation’s Official Website as soon as the original broadcast started. In her message, she shared pictures of herself backstage posing with Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, and Yuri. The pictures revealed that the girls had gone to support Hyoyeon at the broadcasting site. You can read both of Tiffany’s messages in Soshified’s Translated Goodies Section.



Park Jiwoo, the partner of Choi Yeojin, who will be competing in the finals against Hyoyeon, also posted a picture of the girls right before the broadcast. Park Jiwoo has shared multiple pictures of himself with Hyoyeon in the past, and has also complimented on her ability to dance.
Congratulations to Hyoyeon, and good luck to her in the finals.

Jessica Sheds Her ‘Ice Princess’ Image on ‘Taxi’


Jessica showed she wasn’t all that cold after all, as she drew out her hidden aegyo (cute actions) on Taxi.

Jessica appeared on her first solo talk show of her career on May 17, tvN’s Taxi. She boarded the taxi in a hot pink blouse, and proved that she wasn′t the Ice Princess she was labeled.


Jessica opened up on the prejudices she had to face because of her image. “I don’t like talking, because I don’t feel organized. That’s why I felt pressured on variety programs,” she said.

She then added, “I hear a lot that I’m cold, but I think that they judge me based on my looks. I do hear that I’m like a fool sometimes, too. Some people say I look like I won’t have any troubles in my life, but actually I think about many things.”

The aegyo that wasn′t rarely shown on TV confirmed she wasn’t the person everyone thought she would be. She made all of her ‘uncle fans’, including MC Gong Hyung Jin, melt with her “Aing” that came to her lips whenever she laughed out loud or was embarrassed.

Jessica then revealed what she thought about the other SNSD members. She chose Sunny as the member she believed would get married first, and Tiffany as the member that wouldn’t be as quick.

“We talk a lot about with whom and when we think the members will get married,” she said. “I think Sunny will marry a prince from a neighboring country and live with 10 poodles. Tiffany has a lot she wants to do in her career, so I think she’ll work for a long time. I think I’ll be one the members think will get married soon.”

She then revealed her ideal type, saying, “I like people who are gentle, smart and care for me a lot.”

Jessica then opened up on how the members get along with each other. “We do fight. We fight for the pettiest reasons, but then everything goes back to the way it was when someone says, ‘Hey, you should have lunch.’”

Super Junior member Sungmin and f(x)’s Luna also boarded the taxi to help Jessica out.

Metro News 9th Anniversary: Special Interview with SNSD

by Girls Generation Soshi on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 6:23pm


SNSD sent congratulatory messages to Metro News in conjunction with the 9th anniversary of its founding. SNSD, within less than 4 years after debut, are currently known as Korea’s national girl group and also, Asia’s upcoming top girl group who steadily takes on the global stages. The 9 girls stated that they wanted to be a part of Metro News’ happy moments.


Together with Metro News, after 4 years of debut


Debuting in August 2007, SNSD have been gracing the professional stages for less than 4 years. With an average of 5 years training duration for each member, their success today came from their tireless efforts during those trainee days. Metro News was one of their companions during those hard times.


“Before SNSD’s debut, I enjoyed reading Metro on the way to school and practice. With the interesting articles, I had fun every morning.” (Taeyeon)


After a long period of training, they finally debuted and they can still remember clearly the first time they appeared in Metro News (July 18th, 2007, Page 34 entitled “9 pretty high school girls ‘Female SuJu’ unveiled”)


“I can’t forget the happiness and thrill that day. I remember because the members were excited and happy, we couldn’t even read the articles properly.” (Sooyoung)


The girls thought that the reason for their success is mainly because they were able to show the public their growth, which is similar to that of Metro.


“We are always thinking of new concepts in order to present fresh images. We are encouraged by how the fans appreciate our changes and look forward to further changes. I think Metro’s attractiveness is the changes it has undergone.” (Yuri)


“Thank you for giving us these memories.” (Hyoyeon)


“I wish Metro will grow even more than the past nine years.” (Tiffany)


“Please keep providing good news, news that shine like morning sunshine.” (Sunny)


May 31st Japan tour, reaching out to overseas market


SNSD will be opening their ’1st Japan Arena Tour’ concerts in Japan starting May 31st. The tour will take place in Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Saitama until July 18.


“The most memorable moment last year was our first showcase in Japan. In the midst of fear and excitement on a foreign land, we couldn’t believe how the fans welcomed us. We wish to meet fans in many places and make new memories and meaning in every place we go.” (Seohyun)


After the Arena tour in summer, the girls will meet Korean fans as they kick off the “2011 Girls’ Generation Tour” on July 23rd and 24th. The girls have proven their outstanding vocals and brilliant stage performances throughout the ‘Into The New World 1st Asia Tour Concert’. Thus, fans can expect to see the girls showing their great teamwork and awesome performances during the upcoming concerts.


The concert in Seoul, which will be the start of second Asia tour, will be followed by Taipei, Nanjing, and other major Asia cities. Their activities are not confined to within Asia only. One June 10th and 11th, SM Entertainment will be holding their very first joint concert in Europe, the ‘SM Town Live World Tour in Paris’.


“I’m already looking forward to see the extend of K-pop’s impact on Paris. I was touched by our fans of various nationalities during the concert in Los Angeles last year. I think I will be touched again.” (YoonA)


SNSD’s position in terms of popularity in Japan’s music industry would be further strengthened with the release of their first Japanese album, “Girls’ Generation” on June 1st.


“Even though we haven’t been active in Korea for a long time, we hope to go back with more maturity through the experiences gained in foreign countries.” (Jessica)

SNSD @ Dispatch News for Childrens Day Interview

by Girls Generation Soshi on Thursday, May 5, 2011 at 5:26pm



Uploaded by on May 4, 2011
[Dispatch=사회연예팀] 5월 5일. 어린이 날입니다. 이 날만큼 동심인터뷰가 잘 어울리는 날이 있을까요? '디스패치' 창간 (2001.03.30) 한 달, 그리고 가정의 날을 맞아 준비한 동심인터뷰 2탄을 공개합니다.

' 디스패치' 동심 인터뷰 두번째 주인공. 바로 소녀시대입니다. 국민 걸그룹 소녀시대 9명이 한 자리에 모였습니다. 소녀시대는 방송 활동, 앨범 준비, 콘서트 연습 등으로 바쁜 나날을 보내고 있음에도 불구하고 흔쾌히 동심 인터뷰에 동참했습니다.

과연 국민 걸그룹다웠습니다. 어린이들의 질문 폭풍이 이어졌는데요. 소녀시대의 휴대전화 번호를 묻는 질문부터 핫팬츠를 입는 이유, 슈퍼주니어와 샤이니 중 더 친하고 좋은 그룹을 묻는 질문까지. 버라이어티한 질문이 이어졌습니다.

소 녀시대는 어린이 맞춤형 대답을 했습니다. 말을 하면서도 손짓을 더했는데요. 어린이들의 이해를 돕기 위해서였습니다. 예를들어 수영은 "이름처럼 수영을 잘해요?"라는 질문에 직접 수영하는 행동을 취해 재미를 더했습니다. 더불어 한결 생동감있는 인터뷰가 될 수 있었습니다.

한 마디로. 상큼 발랄 그 자체입니다. 소녀시대 특유의 밝고 건강한 에너지가 가득합니다. 이들의 유쾌한 웃음 소리에 보는 사람도 절로 기분이 좋아질 듯 한데요. 이 뿐 아니라 소녀시대의 초절정 애교와 기대 이상의 재치를 한 번에 볼 수 있다고 자신합니다.

It’s May 5th, Children’s Day. ‘Dispatch News’ conducted an interview with Korea’s national girl group, SNSD! Although the girls are busy with their activities, album preparation and concert practice, they managed to spare some time to participate in the interview.


They are indeed the national girl group. There were a lot of different questions from the children to the girls; from SNSD members’ handphone numbers, reasons for wearing hot pants to the group (between Super Junior and SHINee) they get along better.


To suit these young children, SNSD members who are full of their own unique charms, gave some hand gestures while replying to the questions to help them understand better and this made the interview more interesting.


Interview (D represents Dispatch News who conveyed the questions from some children)


D: SNSD noona(sisters), why do you cry whenever you get first? (Choi SungJae, 8 years old)


Tiffany: Did we cry whenever we get no.1? (Looking at other members) Ah, we did.
Yuri: I think among the nine of us, we take turns crying.
Tiffany and Hyoyeon: Whenever we get no.1, the members would keep on crying because we feel very happy inside our hearts.


D: Sooyoung noona, since your name is Sooyoung, can you really swim well? (Choi SungJae, 8 years old)


Everyone: No. She can’t. Sooyoung can’t swim.
Sooyoung: Noona’s name is not the sport ‘swimming’ (went on to explain her ‘soo’ and ‘young’). Children, when you grow up and have started to learn hanja, you would understand what noona’s name means. I’m not related to this sooyoung (‘swimming’, moving her arm). However, children, if you want, noona will learn how to swim this summer.


D: As I want to grow long hair, I wish to know how can I grow them like unnies? (Kim JiMin, 8 years old).


Hyoyeon: (Touching her hair) Think a lot about your hair growing long. Long.Long…..
Sunny: (Touching her hair) Long hair.
Tiffany: If you eat well, It won’t take long for your hair to grow.
YoonA: That’s right. Your meals must be balanced. If you eat a lot of food with protein, your hair will grow very very fast.
Taeyeon: Black beans are good.
Tiffany: If you obey your parents, your hair will grow fast.
Hyoyeon: Aye. That’s right.


D: SNSD unnies. Do you like Super Junior? Do you like SHINee? Who are you closer to? (Kim JiMin, 8 years old)


Tiffany: I can’t choose. Yes.
Taeyeon: All of them.
Hyoyeon: Super Junior are really cool oppas, right? SHINee are really cool hoobaes (juniors), aren’t they? Am I right?


D: SNSD noonas. What are your telephone numbers? Please let me know your handphone numbers. (Yoon JaeMin, 8 years old).


Yuri: 1004~ noona’s number 1004~
YoonA: 010~
Tiffany: My number is bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong~bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong.
Sooyoung: Instead of asking for our phone numbers to send us greetings, you can help noonas much more if you cheer for us when we are performing on stage. Our children, please support and cheer for SNSD always.


D: SNSD noonas, even during winter, why do you wear hot pants? You don’t feel cold? (Yoon JaeMin, 8 years old)


Sooyoung: It’s cold. (Looking at Jessica) Cold, right?
Jessica: Yes, it’s cold. Very.
Hyoyeon: It’s because We have to look pretty in the costumes that match the songs we are performing…
Sunny: Also to show that we are healthy
YoonA: When we are not on stage, we wear long pants.
Tiffany: When we are not on stage, we put on a few layers of clothes.
Yuri: Dear children, when you are cold, do not wear short pants like unnie/noona. Please take care of your health and wear long pants.


D: SNSD noona, are you nervous when you’re on the stage? When do you feel nervous the most? (An JungJin, 10 years old)


Sooyoung: The time when i am most nervous. I think it should be before we get onto the stage. Since we enjoy ourselves while we are performing on stage, the most nervous moment is the time when we are just about to perform…the nervousness is so great that I feel like crying.
Jessica: Yes, that’s right.


At the end of the interview:


Sunny: Dear children. Always stay healty and listen to your parents well. Also, always listen to your teachers as well. Get along well with your friends. Please give us, SNSD noonas/unnies lots and lots of love.


Everyone: Dear children, goodbye~Right now So.Nyeo.Shi.Dae. We love you ♡.
