GIRLS’ GENERATION’S ROLE IN SPREADING K-POP WORLDWIDE!

Throughout the week, Girls’ Generation has been reported on by numerous news portals. Most of these websites are international-based, proving Girls’ Generation’s role in spreading K-Pop worldwide.
Earlier this week, “CNN Geek Out!” published an article regarding the upcoming Google concert which would be hosted at its headquarters in Mountain View. The article then proceeded to describe K-Pop’s global appeal. Several mentions of Girls’ Generation include their appearance on “Letterman” and their musical career in the Japanese market. The writer concludes the article by agreeing to a statement which states that “K-Pop captures happiness”.

On May 19th, Seohyun, along with all the idol stars under SM Entertainment made an appearance at Incheon Airport, to make their way to Los Angeles for ‘SMTOWN Live World Tour III‘.
On this day, members, Seohyun, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, and Tiffany walked together to make their departure from Korea.

It seems like this week is the week of Girls' Generation! Our Kid Leader Taeyeon, Maknae Seohyun, Dancing Machine Hyoyeon, and Sub-Unit Girls' Generation-TTS dominate this week!

During a recent recording of SBS E!TV’s ‘TV Cultwo Show-Talking About With Stars’, the MCs asked her how she maintains her figure. She surprised everyone by replying, “I eat ramyun late at night and don’t sleep afterward.”

On the latest episode of SBS’ ‘100 Million Quiz Show‘ which was airred on May 18th, Sensible Seohyun as a guest star, showed her amazing knowledge. She is known to enjoy reading so much that she even carries a book everywhere, in which with this knowledge she is able to calmly answer each question that was fired at her… And to gain that extra pro-ness, she even adds explanations to each of her answers! To this, its no surprise that she became the first ever guest on the show to get a perfect score!!

GIRLS' GENERATION MADE THE FANS AND VIEWERS OF THE FRIDAY NIGHT BROADCASTS “FEEL THE HEAT"!

Hallyu superstars Girls’ Generation, who are no strangers when it comes to the art of winning, has set a unique yet impressive record as its members swept all three major networks with wins in various shows.

On Friday May 18th, Girls’ Generation unit group TaeTiSeo won their second consecutive #1 on KBS‘s ‘Music Bank‘, in which Tiffany proudly gave thanks by saying, “I am happy for the love that led to this #1, and I am happy to be Girls’ Generation!”

SNSD member Yuri has a dazzling performance in the SBS drama “Fashion King“.

Recently, Yuri had an interview with a Korean female magazine. Here’s translated part of the interview.

Yuri was wearing a yellow jacket, dragging the rack while talking on the phone. Her sudden appearance scared Yoo Ah In. She said to him coolly, “I don’t have time, get out.” This is the scene in episode 3 of “Fashion King” where the two first met. The lines of Yuri is all in English, while the last sentence, “get out,” perfectly expresses her apathy and irritability. She not only speaks English like local, but also conveys her feelings.

Jessica is…psychic?

Breaking news! Ice Princess Jessica proves to possess not only the icy “Sica effect”, but also powerful psychic powers.

In 2010, Jessica guested on KBS’ “Happy Birthday”, along with others including popular comedian Jung Hyundon, who was a newlywed at the time. When talking about Hyundon’s future family, Jessica predicted that he will have twins. And what happens two years later? Hyundon is expecting twins from his now 7 weeks pregnant wife! Was it just a lucky coincidence, or does Jessica really have supernatural powers? You decide…
