The interview with KBS 2 “Entertainment Weekly” aired on August 28th revealed the girls’ reactions on the showcase at Ariake Coliseum (August 25th) and also their experiences in Japan.

When asked about the reactions from the fans, Sooyoung answered,”We never thought that there were so many people coming to out showcase. Usually fans sit while waving their light sticks but to our surprise, everyone stood up, waving their light sticks and sang our songs(lyrics in Korean).”

On the difference between Korean and Japanese fans, Hyoyeon jokingly said,”language” and the girls burst into laughter. Yuri then replied,”We were amazed that some of the fans who came to see us dressed in our stage costume”. Tiffany made it simple by saying,”cosplay”.

The host then asked if the girls have experienced the effects of their popularity in Japan. Sooyoung answered,”Not long ago, not me but one of our members went to a supermarket.” Upon hearing Sooyoung’s statement, Sunny giggled, hinting that Sooyoung was actually referring to her. Sooyoung added,”She went to a convenience store and got spotted by fans. I heard that she kept denying that she’s a member of SNSD because she did not have make-up on at that moment.” Hyoyeon then explained the reason for going out without their make-up on by saying,”…because if we go out without make-up, no one would be able to recognize us.” Upon hearing that the girls burst into laughter.

Before the end of the interview, Yuri said that SNSD hope to tour the cities in Japan and spread their music to all over the country.

Here’s the video clip of the interview:

The girls will be performing at the 2010 Incheon Korean Music Wave on August 29th with Yuri and Tiffany as the MC for the event.

Sunny made a Star Call for UFO two days ago and she knows just what her Sunshiners are missing so much. Her aegyo. Japan’s debut coming up soon, the girls must be really busy and tired. Well, so am I. Here’s the translation of what Sunny said in the Star Call vid.

“Hello everyone! I’m Sunny! I heard that you all miss my aegyo, so I prepared 3 aegyo poses~ I’ll do it now, so please don’t blink and look carefully! Hehehe. Everybody, please protect yourselves from the heat and take care of your health!”

I’ve got some really important stuff to deal with right now. Baby Owen’s due in September so, I’ll be pretty busy from now on. I’d like to announce that I’ll be on hiatus for a while but I’ll pop in once in a while to see how you guys are doing. I’ll be back before you know it! Annyong! Don’t be sad…hehehe… I’m sure Sunny’s aegyo cures everything!

A piece of good advice from Sunny to Sori

“Do not just focus on working too hard”. That was the advice given by Sunny to G7′s new member, Kim Sori.

On KBS 2TV’s “Invincible Youth” aired on July 16th, Sunny was part of the cast where she reunited with the G7 members in Hokkaido, Japan. Despite the fact that it was the first meeting with Sori, Sunny advised the new G7 member to not just concentrate on working too hard for IY.

According to Sori, Sunny told her that although IY’s concept is about working, it is still a variety show and thus, she has to inject some entertaining elements into it. The advice was well taken by Sori who admitted that she has put too much focus on working and she will work harder to show the viewers her funny side.

Anyone would agree that in the past, Sunny added in so much value to the show with her aegyo, funny dances and her awesome chicken-catching ability. Although Sori may not be able to pull off those acts, we hope that she could deliver something fresh that keeps everyone glued to their TV/computer on every Friday night.

Sori, who is also doing the promotion for her single “Hero” mentioned that before meeting Sunny, she thought that Sunny is someone who is not easy to get along with but that impression totally changed after the two met each other. Sori thinks that Sunny is a cute person with a good character and because of that, the two got close to each other really fast. In addition to that, Sori thinks that meeting Sunny in Japan makes them closer because they get to do things together and they have to depend on each other.

We’d really love to see the two getting closer to each other on the episode aired on July 23rd (KST) but will Hyomin be jealous?

Sunny reunited with G7, Hyomin acting cool.

Yes, we all know that Lee Soongyu’s height is 155 cm +/- 3 cm but she’s not short at all in terms of being a singer, dancer and ….. GAGDOL. Most probably you won’t find this word in the dictionary but it is simply a combination of gag and idol.

Despite the fact that Sunny is no longer a member of G7, she proved that her gagability (another new word…lol) is natural. The G7 met up with Sunny in Hokkaido, Japan and as expected, she entertained everyone, on the set and in front of TV. Hyomin was excited to meet up with Sunny but acted cool at first and later gave in to her own feelings. We know she loves Sunny very much. Here’s a fact for you. Sunny and Hyomin’s birthdays fall on the same month on the same year. Yes, they were born in May, 1989 but Sunny is older by 15 days.

To be honest, Invincible Youth is really a great show, mainly because of Sunny and Yuri. Without them on the show, I’m sort of ‘not motivated’ to watch. Bring them back, KBS 2TV! The good news is that, Sunny will appear again on the episode to be aired on July 23rd.

It has been seven months since the first episode was released. Now, it’s back again with the second episode, bringing you more asking-for-punches aegyo from our Soshi energy pill, Sunny!

The first episode has 57,606 views so far and I would like to thank the viewers and subscribers for their comments and supports. So, here it is, episode 2 of “Can you resist Sunny’s aegyo attack?”. Enjoy!!!

Sunny and Hyomin reunited!

After 40 days leaving Invincible Youth, Sunny reunited with the casts of KBS 2TV’s “Invincible Youth” again, but this time in Hokkaido, Japan. Sunny and the G7 members had a great time as they spent 3 days and 2 nights together and did some farming activities.

As expected, her best friend, Hyomin teared up upon meeting Sunny. Sunny was glad to be given the opportunity to meet with her G7 friends and make an appearance on IY again. She said this was due to the demand from fans and viewers and she is definitely thankful for all the love and support that she’s getting.

Fans are definitely waiting impatiently for these episodes which will be aired on July 16th and July 23rd. For the mean time, enjoy these photos.

SNSD and WG at 2010 Dream Concert

It was an evening where fans get to see Wonder Girls and Girls’ Generation performed on the same stage. As Wonder Girls will be promoting “2DT” everywhere and SNSD’s touring Asia doing concerts and promotions, it would be rare to see the two prominent girl groups performing on the same occassion.

Wonder Girls performed “2DT” followed by the medley of “Tell Me-So Hot-Nobody”. After that, SNSD came on stage and performed “Run Devil Run” and “Oh!”. I love that dorky Yul doing the RDR move during “Oh!” and they were doing the fanchants at the end of the song as well. Sunny’s high, fierce kick during “RDR” was caught on camera. Wow, good timing, cameraman but don’t do it next time..lol

Sunny: eat this!

Wonder Girls – “2 Different Tears”

Wonder Girls – “Tell Me-So Hot-Nobody” medley

SNSD – “Run Devil Run”

SNSD – “Oh!”

I’m sure you have seen many fancams of the Dream Concert performances held at Seoul Olympic Stadium on May 22nd, but out of these videos, 1 particular vid caught my attention and it is this one here.

I would like to bring your attention to 3:00. The girls in black and light blue were seen talking to one another. They are none other than Yubin, YoonA and Hyoyeon. They were probably discussing about Yubin’s nail polish or fingers and Hyoyeon was joking around with Yubin.

At 4:53, another priceless 원더시대 moment appeared. As the girls (SNSD and WG) were making their way to the backstage, Sunye and Jessica were side-hugging (I don’t know how you call that gesture…lol) each other. They were obviously happy to meet each other on stage and were chatting like old friends.

It’s like a dream comes true seeing these moments. Now, I’d like to stress that this is an extremely rare footage of 원더시대 and I’d like to give a big thanks my friend, snsdchingoo for capturing those moments. Show her some love, people!

The Dream Concert was a success with minor childish fans-related issues which I’m not gonna elaborate here as not to damage the beautiful pictures painted by the artists who performed on the evening. SBS will be airing the Dream Concert on May 30th. It was supposed to be on May 23rd but was later postponed.

Who's replacing Yuri and Sunny?

It is now certain that Girls’ Generations’ Sunny and Yuri will not be showing up in Yuchi-Ri for the filming of KBS 2TV’s Invincible Youth from June onwards.

On May 14th, KBS staff confirmed in a phone conversation with mydaily that Sunny and Yuri will longer be featured on Invincible Youth starting June due to the fact that Girls’ Generation are set to enter Japanese market and also busy preparing for their First Asia Concert Tour. There have been speculation about their departure from the show since the announcement was made by KBS regarding the change of members, earlier this week.

Regarding the replacements, auditions are being carried out at the moment among girl groups to choose the new G7 members. The staff also confirmed that the rumor about Seonhwa from the group Secret leaving G7 is not true.

KBS Invincible Youth lovers will definitely miss Yuri’s dorkiness and Sunny’s aegyo and her bond with fellow G7 members such as Hyomin, HyunA and Hara. Poor Sunny as she will definitely miss her pet cow, Peureumi and also, poor Kim Tae Woo as he will be missing someone dearly!
