[NEWS] TaeTiSeo melts the hearts of viewers on ‘Gag Concert’
Girls’ Generation‘s new unit group, TaeTiSeo (Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun) made a surprise appearance on the May 13th broadcast of KBS‘s ‘Gag Concert‘.
Currently promoting their new track “Twinkle“, TaeTiSeo took time off to participate in the segment ‘The Discovery of Life‘, a very popular skit that reflects what happens when a couple breaks up.
Tiffany was the first to appear on stage, playing the role of Song Joon Geun‘s new girlfriend. Spurred with jealousy, Song Joon Geun’s ex-girlfriend Shin Bora began criticizing the TaeTiSeo member by poking fun at her English name and even saying her eye smile was forced.
The rest of the TaeTiSeo members were called onto the stage as Tiffany’s sisters, delighting the audience members and melting the hearts of male viewers.
‘Gag Concert’ quickly turned into a ‘Girls’ Generation Concert’ as the three members began dancing to “Gee” and “Twinkle”. The skit later went on to entertain the audience by referring Taeyeon and Seohyun as “married women”, due to their past appearance on MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘.
Shin Bora remarked, “I already know these two. She [Seohyun] is married to Jung Yonghwa and you [Taeyeon] are married to Jung Hyun Don.” But of course, Taeyeon denied with a dumbfounded expression, causing the studio to roar in laughter.

[NEWS] Super Junior, “We still have a long way to go to match TVXQ’s popularity”
Hallyu superstars Super Junior recently gained attention as they commented on their increasing popularity in the Japanese market.
On May 13th, Super Junior held a press conference to mark the ‘Super Show 4‘ concert at the prestigious Tokyo Dome. During the conference, leader Lee Teuk shared his thoughts on Super Junior’s popularity by commenting, “I think we benefited greatly from the Hallyu Wave“.
When asked about the comparisons to label mates and fellow Hallyu superstars TVXQ, Lee Teuk replied, “Many people compare our popularity to TVXQ’s, but we really have a long way to go. TVXQ’s fandom is beyond imagination. TVXQ’s popularity is the result of hard work that began at performances in front of only 500 people.”
He continued by explaining, “In comparison, we never had any real promotions or activities in Japan but we received a lot of love as a result of the K-pop boom. We are considering creating a unit in Japan in order to repay the love that we received.”
In related news, Super Junior held their ‘Super Show 4′ performance across two nights at the Tokyo Dome. The concert was a resounding success, as each performance played to a crowd of over 55,000 and grossed over $14 million dollars in revenue.
The next leg of the ‘Super Show 4′ tour is scheduled to be held in Seoul on May 26 and 27th.
[NEWS] Sunny Finishes Her Final Performance of ‘Catch Me If You Can’, Nominated for Award
On May 12th, Sunny completed her final performance for her musical, “Catch Me If You Can”. For her role as the lovable “Brenda” in the hit musical based on the Steven Spielberg movie, Sunny has been nominated in the Female Newcomer category for the 6th The Musical Awards.
Starting on March 30th, Sunny took the stage for thirty performances of the musical and took her final bow as Brenda on the May 12th performance. Sunny’s debut as a musical actress has been met with widespread praise from critics. A reviewer from Chosun news said, “The person who showed the most potential as a musical actress was Sunny. She took the role of Frank’s girlfriend, nurse Brenda, and digested exaggerated cuteness and flippant acting. One part of her is still inexperienced, but she shows potential for her ability to understand her character and apply it to her acting.”
In addition to Sunny showing her potential as an actress, her singing ability was also put on display. As Jang Kyungjin of 10asia writes, “While Sunny wasn’t a member in her group who put her vocals forth, she showed her power through Brenda’s ‘Fly, Fly Away’ with her clean, firm voice, showing her potential to the audience.”
Sunny’s stellar performance as Brenda is being recognized by everyone, and she is even nominated for the Female Newcomer award at the 6th The Musical Awards. The awards show will be aired on JTBC on June 4th at 8pm KST.
After Sunny finished her final performance, two of Sunny’s fansites, Sunshine Village and Helianthus, prepared a special event to congratulate her. Fans gathered along a red carpet holding banners and gave Sunny a congratulatory cake as well as a specially made plaque to commemorate her accomplishment.
Appreciation Plaque Musical actress Sunny
By putting everyone in a state of emergency with her fatal ‘kyu-teness’ [T/N: cuteness, a play on Sunny’s name] Sun noonim [T/N: same as noona] took the stage with a pretense more mysterious than the seven wonders of the world, and shined brightly. We’re thankful for her becoming a musical fairy with her appealing voice, and creating a momentary miracle of causing world peace. We give this plaque and wish she continues to laugh like this.
2012 May 12 People who support musical actress Sunny
Sunny was very moved by the event and said a few words to all the fans who were there to congratulate her.
Thank you so much for coming to watch the show. [horn sound] Yes. And, if there’s another good opportunity…But hearing the word “actress” is so awkward. I think I’ll be able to meet you all as an actress again. Everyone be healthy, and you all know, right? What about coffee!? [sees cake] fan: It looks like Sunny! [after she blows the candles out] fan: Good job / Sunny: Thank you. Bye bye!
Along with Taeyeon, Jessica, and Tiffany, Sunny has become the latest Girls’ Generation member to successfully complete her debut as a musical actress. Sunny once again proved that she can take on any challenge.

[NEWS] Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon reveals she recently bought her parents a house
On the May 10th broadcast of KBS‘s ‘Happy Together 3‘, special guest Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeonshared a filial act she did for her parents recently with viewers.
She revealed, “I saved up a bit of money and made my parents cry with it. I didn’t make them cry in a bad way though.”
Taeyeon went on to explain that they had recently moved into a house that she bought and even gifted them with the money she had been saving. When asked by the others how many bathrooms the house had to get a feel for the size, Taeyeon replied, “Three.”
The trio was asked to name a member who had a different weight than listed on her profile. The members replied honestly that Sooyoung, standing at 5’7″ (170 cm) tall, weighs at 106 pounds (48 kg), while YoonA, at 5’6″ (168 cm), weighs 48 kg as well.
Jessica and Taeyeon confessed, “Our profiles say we weigh 99 pounds (45 kg), but it’s actually give or take one or two kg.” Tiffany added, “I’m honestly at around 101 to 103.6 pounds (46 to 47 kg).”
When asked how they maintained their weight, Taeyeon replied, “We don’t go on any special diets. I think our natural diets adjusted to our promotional cycles. We also don’t take time off to exercise. We’d probably faint while running.”
On the topic of the group’s meal plans, Tiffany stated, “The meal plan that headlined in the media is only for the members who work out actively. It’s not for all of us. They’re usually only for the members who are doing extra activities like dramas to maintain a certain image. If all of us ate like that, it’d be difficult to promote at the level that we do.”
Netizens commented, “They’re all so skinny,” “Sooyoung and YoonA have daebak bodies,” and “Tiffany’s more honest than I expected.”
On the May 11th broadcast of MBC TV‘s ‘Dancing With The Stars‘, Hyoyeon and her partner Kim Hyung Suk danced to “Love Potion No. 9“.

“The screen capture created a lot of misunderstandings,” she explained.
Fellow member Jessica then added, “Taeyeon wasn’t feeling good that day,” expressing that it was unfortunate for Taeyeon to be swept up in controversy when she was already ill.
