[120130]The touching words and message from Taeyeon’s loving brother


A message left by Taeyeon’s brother, Kim JiWoong, is a hot issue right now.

On January 28th, a post titled “Taeyeon’s sweet brother” has been posted on community sites and has attracted a lot of attention.

The netizen, who posted on the site, came across some information about Taeyeon’s brother while searching about various things about Taeyeon. Also, his compilation of Taeyeon’s brother’s photos has attracted many other netizens’ attention.

In the photos posted, Taeyeon’s brother showed fashion sense and posed as well as any celebrity. He also seemed very caring toward Taeyeon in some photos.

Furthermore, there was a message known to be sent from him to Taeyeon. It started as such, “There is one thing that people are sadly misunderstanding.”

He continued, “I have nothing that I wish from you. Since I was a middle school student, you have already been an ahjumma. So, your thoughts were already like an elder sister and you made good decisions.”

He also showed his belief and trust in Taeyeon by stating, ” Even if you are far away from us, your constantly proper mindset has always made me bow to you.”

He also added words like, “My faith in you is 200%” and “Your family is always watching your back” to show his love towards his sister.

On the other hand, Taeyeon and the rest of Girls’ Generation has departed from Korea for New York City today to attend several famous television talkshow as part of the promotions for their US release.

[120130]9 girls bound for New York to wow the world!


Girls’ Generation have departed for New York at 10am KST on January 30th to attend America’s popular talk shows CBS’ ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ on January 31st and ABC’s ‘Live! with Kelly’ on February 1st. On these shows, the girls will also be performing ‘The Boys’.

A representative of SM Entertainment said, “Girls’ Generation have been busy with their individual schedules but they practiced in between their schedules to deliver perfect performances in US. After the broadcast, they will have media interview sessions and it seems that they will only be back in Korea after February 2nd”.

Although Girls’ Generation barely have any promotional activities in United States so far, the fact that the girls received such ‘love call’ soon after the release of the special album has attracted huge attention.

In addition to that, as Girls’ Generation will also be the first Korean artists to step on the stages of America’s main talk shows, fans in Korea and other parts of the world have shown great interest and anticipation towards their appearances on these popular shows.

[120129]Sunny to kick off musical debut in ‘Catch Me If You Can’!


2012 has barely started but most of the girls in Girls’ Generation are already showcasing and developing their solo activities, with variety shows, dramas and musicals. The next member to challenge musicals after Taeyeon, Jessica and Tiffany, is none other than the cute and lovable Sunny!

Sunny is slated for the Korean version of the Broadway musical ‘Catch Me If You Can’, alongside SHINee’s Key, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun and CSJH’s Dana. Sunny will be one of the actresses playing the character of Brenda Strong, along with Dana and others while Key, Kyuhyun and other actors will play the role of Frank Abagnale, Jr.

The musical is an adaption of the hit movie in 2002 starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which was based on the autobiography of Frank Abagnale, Jr, a con artist, who was constantly chased by FBI agent Carl Hanratty. He falls in love with a nurse, Brenda Strong, when he lied and pretended to be a doctor but eventually, he admits the truth to her.

Sunny’s character, Brenda, will appear in the second half of the musical when Frank goes to the hospital and pretended to be a doctor. The first song in the second half of the musical is ‘Doctor’s Orders’ and Frank will fall in love with Brenda shortly after; interesting and fun scenes between the two are expected in the act.

Brenda will be involved in the following songs of the musical; ‘Doctor’s Orders’, ‘Seven Wonders’ featuring Frank and Brenda, ‘(Our) Family Tree’ featuring Carol, Roger, Brenda, Frank and Strong Family Singers, and finally ‘Fly, Fly Away’ will be Sunny’s solo song.

[120130]Jiwoong’s Message for His Sister Taeyeon


A post that was written at some point in the past by the older brother of Girls’ Generation member Taeyeon has drawn attention.

The post entitled “Taeyeon’s Older Brother’s Photo, Handsome Gentleman” was posted on an online community site’s message board along with photos.

In the photos, Taeyeon’s elder brother Kim Jiwoong, who is 25 years old, is shown to have very distinct facial features and shows a cuteness similar to his sister. A message was also left for Taeyeon.

He wrote a heartwarming message that read, “Ever since I got into middle school, you were already mature and, at least in thought, you were like the eldest sister of the house, determined and professional. Even when you were living far away on your own, you always had a stoic and level-headed mindset that always made me bow my head to you (editors note: in respect).”

He continued, “My confidence in you is at 200%. You are my little sister, so I believe that you will do well. Your family is always standing by your side. I love you.”

Netizens commented, “Taeyeon’s brother has a soft spot for his little sister. I am jealous of Taeyeon for having such a brother and of Jiwoong for having such a sister,” and “As expected, Taeyeon has always been a well-mannered girl from the start. I am very jealous of the siblings’ relationship.”

[120130]Tiffany Completes Final ‘Fame’ Musical Performance


Last night, Tiffany completed her final performance for the musical “Fame”. In the musical, she portrayed the character Carmen Diaz, a performing arts student with dreams of becoming famous. Her first performance was a little over a month ago, and SONEs showed their support for Tiffany by sending a large amount of rice to celebrate her musical debut. For her final show last night, SONEs put together another special event to show their appreciation and love for Tiffany.

After the final curtain call, SONEs prepared a cake outside the venue where the musical was performed. The cake was surrounded by candles arranged in a heart shape. Once Tiffany emerged from the venue, SONEs cheered wildly and congratulated her for a successful stint as a musical actress. After blowing out a candle on the cake and drawing loud applause from the fans, Tiffany exclaimed, “Saranghaeyo!” to the fans and promised to continue working hard in the future.


The congratulatory fan event ended as Tiffany walked to her car on a red carpet that was lined on both sides by candles. The red carpet and candles had also been prepared by SONEs in attendance. Tiffany turned and waved to her fans several more times before finally getting in her car to return home.



The next foray for Girls’ Generation into the world of stage musicals begins on March 28th, as Sunny will assume the role of Brenda in the musical “Catch Me If You Can”.
