Jessica Reveals Her Artistic Side

Girls’ Generation’s Jessica showed off her shocking drawing skills.

Jessica took part in a recent recording for SBS Star King, where she revealed her drawing skills.

This went about with the appearance of the first wooden doll, Kkeobung, that can draw portraits. It started by drawing an identical portrait of Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany.

Yoo Hyunsung, MC Boom, and Jessica, who showed confidence in drawing, had a Star King sketching competition, where they, together with Kkeobung, had to draw Sunny.

Jessica, who showed much confidence from the start, drew Sunny and showed her hidden artistic side which immediately caused her to become the center of attention.

However, before the actual drawing was revealed, a part of Jessica’s drawing was shown in order to gather opinions. It was reported that when Jessica’s drawing was revealed, the studio was in an uproar.

Taeyeon Stands Up for SONEs

On the episode of MBC’s “Golden Fishery – Radio Star” which aired on the 9th of November, Park Haemi, Im Taekyung, and Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, Jessica, and Tiffany were present as guests.

Taeyeon said that when she was in a musical, she had a kiss scene. In reply to this, Kim Gookjin asked, “Don’t the So-Duks oppose to that?” After the MC asked that question, the members of Girls’ Generation all had surprised expressions, so Kim Gookjin explained that it meant, “SOnyuhshidae DUKhoos”.

Upon hearing this, Taeyeon pointed out that “It’s not a nice term”.

After Taeyeon pointed this out, the MCs became embarrassed and Yoon Jongshin said, “We were pointed out by the youngest ones here about terms that are not very nice,” and apologized by saying, “We won’t use that expression again.”

The term “Dukhoo” comes from the Japanese word, “Otaku”, which is often used to refer to someone who is crazily obsessed with someone.

After hearing this, SONEs have been voicing out their praise for Girls’ Generation’s leader, Taeyeon. Not only did she stand up for the group’s fans, she also managed to do so in a polite and respectful way to her elders. No doubt, Taeyeon has once again shown her manners and matured personality!

Girls’ Generation Picks Infinite as Their Favorite Junior

On November 11th, Girls’ Generation who achieved the number one spot after releasing their third album “The Boys”, appeared on “SBS Power FM Power Time with Choi Hwajung” and had a very casual and honest talk. During the radio, DJ Choi Hwajung asked them, “It has been a while since you last made a comeback, so do a lot of new groups have difficulty in approaching you?” In response to this Girls’ Generation said, “Honestly, many new groups feel uncomfortable being around us and they always make a 90-degree bow.”

DJ Choi also asked, “Then how about just accepting their bows in a friendly manner?” Sunny replied very humbly, “Actually, its only been 4 years since we’ve debuted and so it’s more appropriate to bow back to them in an equal fashion instead of accepting their bows.”

In addition, DJ Choi asked Girls’ Generation, “Who is your favourite male junior recently?” Taeyeon said, “I really like Infintite. It’s good to see them and they’re always working hard.” After which, DJ Choi followed up the question with ”Who is your second favourite?” and Taeyeon wittily responded, “Can I say Infinite again?”.

Tiffany’s Thoughts on her Musical Debut

[Updated with video of the showcase from Star News] Tiffany attended the showcase for her musical, “Fame”, today and shared her thoughts on her debut as a musical actress with TvN enews.
Preparing for both a musical and her performances with Girls’ Generation can be a challenge, as Tiffany says, “I was wrapped up in rehearsals from 12 in the afternoon to midnight. I had never done this before, not even during rehearsals for Girls’ Generation. But because I enjoy doing both and they both mean a lot to me, I don’t think I can choose one over the other.”
Tiffany continued, “I’ve always liked ’Fame’. I was presented with the opportunity and accepted it right away. I’m sad because I couldn’t practice as much as I wanted to due to my busy schedule. I think if I had a little bit more time, I could do better.” She added, “Still, I improved a lot in a short amount of time with the help of a lot of people. Because I’m lacking in many ways, I leaned on my efforts in singing, dancing, everything.”
From accounts of people who went to the showcase, Tiffany wowed those in attendance with her powerful voice.

Girls’ Generation’s Selca Battle

Today on “Hong Jin Kyung’s 2 O’clock Radio”, the DJ and 5 members of Girls’ Generation had a ‘free-for-all’ selca battle. And, as expected of Girls’ Generation, there was no holding back as the girls could be seen showing off their own personal unique charm in the pictures.

First off is Yuri with an adorable picture of herself pouting.

Secondly, is the ever serious maknae Seohyun, with a small smile and a stare that can see into your soul.

Third up is our kid leader Taeyeon, who is well known for being dorky, and this is no exception. Here’s a picture of her yawning; or possibly wanting to eat something.

Next up is Sunny, with a triple combo pout, wink, and to cap it all of a victory sign. Sunny just might have this battle in the bag.

Last but not least, Hyoyeon, with a hilarious picture reminiscent of Sadako from “The Ring” as her bangs cover all of her face. Instead of being scary, most people will think it is cute. While in the end, the DJ won the battle by means of default, since listeners commented that there was more members present, each of them were able to show off cute selcas that the fans would enjoy.
