[111218]Sunny Blushes at the Mention of Marriage


The suggestion to get married left Sunny blushing in embarrassment.

On an episode of KBS 2TV’s “Invincible Youth” that aired on December 17th, the G8 members were given the responsibility of delivering homemade kimchi to the village’s residents.

Sunny was paired with Ji Hyunwoo and the two made their way to an elderly couple’s home. They sat down with the couple after greeting them politely. Sunny said, “Wow, you got married at the age of 23 – that’s my age,” to which the couple playfully responded, “So hurry up and get married then.”

Feeling rather embarrassed at this remark, Sunny shyly hid her face in her hands, but eventually laughed out loudly in order to shake off the awkwardness.

[111218]Seohyun Loses Her Temper on ‘Girls’ Generation and the Dangerous Boys’


Update with new video:

During the December 18th premiere of “Girls’ Generation and the Dangerous Boys”, many fans tuned in anticipating Seohyun’s display of anger towards the “Dangerous Boys”. However, the segment which supposedly contained Seohyun losing her temper differed from what fans expected, as Seohyun said only one sentence rather than “exploding with anger”. Instead, it was an unaired clip that showed Seohyun voicing her displeasure at the way the “Dangerous Boys” were living their lives.

The clip, released on JTBC’s official website for the show, revealed that Seohyun in fact said, “You shouldn’t live like this! I’m getting very upset right now.”

Taeyeon, unable to hide her surprise, repeated, “Seohyun! Seohyun said…!”, but could not finish her sentence because she burst into laughter.

Seohyun continued with “I’m really upset right now. I didn’t know I would react this way either,” and amidst Taeyeon’s continuing laughter, said “This is getting me really upset. I’m just going to listen for now.”

Taeyeon explained, “She’s not a person who speaks informally to a person she’s just met for the first time. This is a first for me. I’ve known her for years now.”

Check out all of unreleased footage from the first episode of “Girls’ Generation and the Dangerous Boys” below.

Previous article from 12/16/11:

On the new JTBC variety program, “Girls’ Generation and the Dangerous Boys”, Girls’ Generation will be helping the “Dangerous Boys” and watch them mature and transform. They will be acting as mentors and will be providing the boys with personal advising sessions and training.

Seohyun, who is known as the “Girl Who Lives by the Rules”, lost her temper on the first day she met the “Dangerous Boys”.

Seohyun kept a stiff face when she was viewing the lives of the boys through a monitor. After the video clip, she showed her pity saying, “I think the boys are living without dreams or thoughts.”

Though she remained calm during the personal advising session during which the boys answered with careless words, Seohyun later surprised everyone when she exploded with anger by saying, “You shouldn’t live like this.”

Seohyun later showed her determination and said, “I’m upset that the boys seem to live without thinking about anything and without a dream,” and, “I want to find a dream for the boys.”

The first broadcast of “Girls’ Generation and the Dangerous Boys” will air on December 18th.

111218 Hyoyeon admits to feeling upset over her stage outfits


SNSD‘s Hyoyeon recently opened up about how she felt upset whenever she was dressed in a style she hadn’t hoped for her by her stylists.

On Mnet‘s ‘Beatle’s Code‘, she explained, “I never brought this up with the members before, but I did get a bit jealous when it came to our stage outfits.”

She continued, “Whenever I see pretty clothes, I naturally wanted to wear it, but it always went to another member. I was really upset over that and often thought to myself, ‘Why aren’t I allowed to wear those things?’”

“Lately, however, I place my trust in the stylist unnis and tell myself, ‘They must be dressing me this way because it fits my look the best.’”

This had actually been a concern amongst fans for some time now, and netizens were quick to point out through a series of photos posted on a community board that stylists were indeed negligent of her. Reference photos pointed out concepts where her clothes were either poorly fitting in size or bizarre in style.

Netizens commented, “It’s true that Hyoyeon could’ve been better dressed in the past“, “I still love her because she’s beautiful and confident“, and “We love her no matter what“.
