Yuri wants to go backpacking to Venice

In an interview with atzine.com, Yuri mentioned that she would like to go on a backpacking trip and her no.1 dream destination – Venice, Italy to enjoy the famous Italian pasta and to go on a romantic gondola cruise (with whom? I can imagine fanboys getting nervous)

Talking about going on a trip, Yuri has some tips on how to look after your skin. In her pouch, these items are a must – sunscreen, cream, body mist to keep the skin moist and some aromatherapy candles to relax her mind and help her sleep.

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!

Update 1 – HyunA will be leaving too!

According to Kim Ho Sang PD, 4minute’s HyunA will also be leaving Invincible Youth. Sunny, Yuri and HyunA will have their last filming for the show on May 19th. This means that 3 members of G7 will be replaced.

IY line-up to change in June

Apparently, the PD for Invincible Youth said that there is no concept for the new season and the change of 1 or 2 member(s) in G7 will contribute to the change of the atmosphere of the show. The next thing that comes to my mind, and also many of you IY lovers out there, I believe is – WHO? Who’s going to be replaced? Auditions to select the suitable candidate among girl groups have started.

The most unlikely would be the two Soshi – Sunny and Yuri. Taking them out of the show is basically saying bye bye to the good rating of the show. Unless they’re extremely busy with Asian promotion, then I guess it can’t be helped. So, my speculation will be those who will be busy in Japan – Hara (Kara), Hyomin (T-ara) or probably HyunA (4minute). The change will take place in June and the girls basically will be saying goodbye to that 1 or 2 member(s) very soon.

Hopefully, IY will still be as exciting as ever with the change of members. Probably it was a decision forced by situation rather than wanting to give it a “different atmosphere” to the show. I believe there are reasons that cannot be disclosed as it may expose the relevant group’s/groups’ schedule which has to be kept confidential .

Who knows Wonder Girls might be in for a few episodes since they’ll be back in Korea to shoot FO2 next week. Well, that’s just hopeful thoughts.

SNSD performed at Shinsegae Super Concert

Hyoyeon took a fall during their encore performance at Shinsegae Super Concert on April 24th. While performing “Oh!”, Hyoyeon slipped but Yuri was fast to help her up. Nothing serious it seems and hopefully she is ok. Sooyoung could not help laughing when she saw it…LOL…in fact..that was cute too. She turned to look after Hyoyeon was up on her feet again.
(more…)

The girls were so pretty in the CF shoot. I love the part where Yuri caught one of the staffs admiring their beauty. The poor guy walked away shyly when he realized Yuri and Sooyoung were talking about him…lol. At the beginning of the video, Sooyoung said she has a date in bed. When the interviewer asked, “a date in bed?”, she quickly told him that it was not the type he was thinking…lol. I love this interview. It’s really funny and the girl played along as usual.

SNSD bid 'Oh!' goodbye on Music Core

It will be a very short farewell as SNSD are now preparing to unveil their Black Soshi on March the 18th. Yuri was back MC-ing with Tiffany on Music Core today and she teased us with “no fun no manner” thingy again. So, what could it be? The title of the song or part of the lyrics? Well, keep guessing..hahaha. Here’s the farewell performance on Music Core today.

Black Yuri

It was reported earlier that SNSD will not be attending KBS Music Bank this week. It seems that they’re not attending SBS Inkigayo on Sunday as well. However, Tiffany and Yuri who is now fully recovered from H1N1 will be making their appearance on MBC Show! Music Core as MCs.

A representative from SNSD’s management company, SM Entertainment, revealed on March 11th, “SNSD had no choice but to pull out from the music programs to prepare for a perfected performance.” SNSD is currently doing last-minute changes of the date of their first performance of their follow-up song.

The repackaged album which might be released at the end of March (earliest) contains the new follow-up song. SNSD, who have been promoting their second album “Oh!” since its release on January 28th are planning to do an overlapping promotion.

Fans are getting excited, especially after the release of the first teaser photo of Yuri with the Black Soshi concept. The teaser photos for the other members will be released daily on their official website starting today, 11th of March till 15th of March. Whose photo will be released next? Make your guess!
