Happy 5th Anniversary, Girls' Generation!

August 5th, a special memorable day, a day celebrated by SONEs all over the world, because this is the day, that Kim Taeyeon, Jessica Jung, Sunny Lee, Tiffany Hwang, Kim Hyoyeon, Kwon Yuri, Choi Sooyoung, Im YoonA and Seo Juhyun debuted as a 9 girl group named 소녀시대, Girls’ Generation or simply called SNSD.

9 girls, who coincidentally met under the same company. They were born in different places, scattered around the world, but fate pulls them together. And that was how the group, dubbed as "The Most Popular Girl Group In The World" was formed.

Each of them were trained under SM Entertainment for years, with the longest starting from an early age of 11. These 9 girls were picked without further notice, when all 9 are in a room, the words which they had always dream of was heard,"9 of you will make your debut as 'So Nyuh Shi Dae'." All 9 cuddled up and cried together, and that marks the beginning of  soshi bond.



These girls literally stepped "Into The New World" as they made their official debut on 5th August, 2007. At the first stage of their debut, Girls' Generation had received a lot of critics, hatred and hurtful condemns, but these 9 girls never give up. From then on, they have achieved countless "all-kill" on music charts and digital charts, earning numerous grand awards for their "Gee", followed by "Run Devil Run", "Oh" and the latest Korean hit "The Boys".

The girls have also went on to receive some of the most prestigious music awards in the country such as Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Female Group, Bonsangs, Daesangs, Digital Music Awards, Popularity Award, Hallyu Special Award and many, many more from the likes of Melon Music Awards, KBS Music Bank K-Chart, Seoul Music Awards, GaOn Chart Awards, Korean Music Awards, Hanteo, as well as awards from online music providers such as Bugs, Dosirak and Soribada.

That is without including of Girls' Generation successful debut in Japan with record breaking sales and the Arena Tour. Now the initial album 'Girls' Generation' passed sales of over 800,000, with shipments of 1 million.

Girls' Generation's third Korean album "The Boys" 'All-Kill' on music program charts. They also went on to receive a "Triple Crown" on SBS' Inkigayo. Overall, Girls' Generation had won twelve times on various music programs. With only two months of sales, The Boys managed to become the 10th best selling digital track in its native country of 2011, having sold 3,032,658 copies since its October release. As of April, 2012, the album had sold over 410,000 copies in South Korea, setting a Gaon Chart record for the best selling, non-repackaged album in the chart's history. 

This year April 29, Girls' Generation newly formed sub group TTS of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun had been received lots of attention. Netizens were amazed by the success of 3 members in Girls' Generation-TTS, thinking that even 3 is enough to dominate charts. 

The latest song released by Girls' Generation is the Japanese song "Paparazzi". Paparazzi proved to be another successful release for the group, debuting atop the Japanese Hot 100, selling over 92,000 copies in its first week, becoming their second best first week opening, following the 102,000 debut of Mr. Taxi, a year prior. "Paparazzi"'s release, boosted the groups total single sales in the country to over 647,000, according to SoundScan Japan. That same month, the group won "Best Album of the Year" for their debut Japanese album, at the 2012 VMAJs.

How many obstacles had they overcome, to reach this state, and I strongly believe that they will go further. The number of SONEs (the name of fans of Girls' Generation) all over the world is expanding gradually, and SONEs always know how much the girls love them.

Throughout the years, Girls' Generation stay strong and determined, they support each other in the group. The special bonding between the members, commonly called 'soshi bond' are the biggest reason how these girls became this successful. The 'soshi bond' is also what SONEs love about Girls' Generation. They are like family, like 9 sisters.

"I think it thanks to all the loving fans over anything else. This is not a day for us to be congratulated but a day for us to congratulate the fans. We can only shine brightest as SNSD when SNSD stand on one stage as nine." - Kwon Yuri (GDA, 9th Dec 2010)

"Nine people who are very different from each others, have now become one." - Choi Sooyoung (Golden Disk Award, 10th Dec 2010)

They cried together when they received their award, never proud of their achievements, they remained humble and thanks all the staffs, managers, members and the most important SONEs in their life. They always bowed 90 degrees to the audience, how often do you see an artist does so?

Girls' Generation will always do their significant "Jigeumen SoNyuhShiDae" cheer between the members before going on stage. These girls will always do their best on the stage, they'll still perform if they are sick or injured. They try not to disappoint SONEs and always stay cheerful on stage even though they are really tired because of the intense schedule.

Somehow, these girls are still young, they still act like kid sometimes, and being dorky all the while. You might thought that Girls' Generation will try hard to keep their image and act pretty but they don't, they spoil their own image, naughty and evil. 

They never fails to captivate SONEs' heart, with their flawless performance. Personally, I went to their solo concert before, I could see it in their eyes, how much they love us (SONEs). How tense and serious they are on stage, and do as much body language as they can, such as love shape with their hands and keep bowing to the SONEs. I see the tears in their eyes when we did paper events, the love from them are real.

Every members played a different role and that's what made up Girls' Generation, it's so hard to picture that if 1 day these girls' broke up and ain't 9 girls any more. We all appreciate Girls' Generation and treasure every moment of them. This is truely a generation of these 9 girls and we all know they'll be better.

As this article coming to an end, all of us from Soshi Site 9 would like to send our congratulations to Girls' Generation as well as SONEs  for the 5th Anniversary. We all wish that Girls' Generation will forever be 9, stay healthy, gorgeous and amazing.

지금은 소녀시대! 앞으로도 소녀시대! 영원히 소녀시대!

Tiffany Endorses 12plus and Celebrates Her Birthday in Thailand

Recently, Tiffany became a new endorser for a Thailand-based facial product company called “12plus”. As part of the endorsement deal, Tiffany flew to Thailand with Super Junior’s Siwon, who has been a model for 12plus for several years already, to shoot a CF for 12plus’s “Double Aura Lucent BB powder”.

 

Filming for the 12plus CF occurred during Tiffany’s birthday, and both Tiffany and Siwon posted messages online to celebrate. Tiffany wrote, “Today is really my day~~~!!! ^^*” on Girls’ Generation’s official website and uploaded two photos to go along with the exclamation. One picture was of herself, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun at a photoshoot for “High Cut” magazine, and the other photo was of her with Siwon, which the Super Junior member later tweeted with the message, “Happy birthday tiffany!”

Although the CF hasn’t been released yet, 12plus released some promotional pictures on its Facebook page. This teaser image shows Tiffany using one of the company’s products.

Other images of Tiffany at the set of the CF filming were also taken by fans and uploaded onto the Internet. They show Tiffany in a stunning white dress, greeting fans during and after the filming with friendly waves and her signature smile. She even asked to take a photo with the fans, joining the crowd for a quick picture.

Of course, the filming wouldn’t be complete without celebrating Tiffany’s birthday. People gathered on the set and placed a cake with candles for Tiffany. She blew out the candles as cameras continued to flash, intent on capturing this very special and precious moment. Tiffany also received a bouquet of red roses that emphasized her beauty, and she was kind enough to give a hug to one lucky fan that was beside her while she blew the candles out on her birthday cake.

On August 2nd, Tiffany and Siwon attended a fanmeet at “MIRACLE DAY 2012 Double Aura Show”. Tiffany was greeted with a miniature “pink ocean” of neon letters spelling her name and signs stating “SONE is here”. They also held a short interview at the fanmeet with Pingbook, an entertainment company. The two discussed Thailand, the CF filming, and fashion, among other subjects. The two were also featured on the CH3 MorningNews show in Thailand, which can be viewed in the video below:

It was a special trip for Tiffany in Thailand. Not only could she further herself and Girls’ Generation in endorsing a new product, but she also felt the love of fans that ensured she would have a truly memorable birthday.

Check out the full interview below!

Girls’ Generation Attends GiRL de Provence Launching Event in Japan

On August 3rd, Girls’ Generation attended a launching event in Japan for GiRL de Provence to promote their signature perfumes. Dressed in cute summer fashion, the members were also able to answer a number of questions for reporters during a press conference that was held.

Girls’ Generation is of course no stranger to Japan, though each trip brings something different. Taeyeon told the reporters, “I’m really happy that we could do this kind of event here in Japan. I feel really happy and honored that we could come.” A question asked to the members was how they “keep” their beautiful legs, to which Sooyoung answered, “There is no secret.” The other members also jokingly added, “We’re just a bunch of girls that like to eat, we even eat sweet things too,” and “We talk a lot too and that uses up a lot of energy, so even if we don’t do a lot of activities, there probably won’t be a problem.”

Finally, Hyoyeon asked both reporters and fans to “cheer for them and give them lots of love” as Girls’ Generation continues to promote in Japan.

Girls’ Generation will also be performing at “SMTOWN Live World Tour III” in Tokyo tomorrow and August 5th.

Yuri of Girls’ Generation voted as celebrity people most want to see in bikini

Girls’ Generation member Yuri has been chosen as the female star people most want to see in a bikini.

A beachwear brand recently released a survey asking, “Which celebrity would look best in a bikini?”
1200 people participated in the survey, and in the end, Girls’ Generation’s Yuri got 364 votes (30.6%), taking the number one spot. Yuri appeared in the drama ‘Fashion King‘, and some scenes at a gym are reported to have given viewers a glimpse of her great figure.

In 2nd place is actress Yoon Jin Yi who is starring in the SBS drama ‘Gentlemen’s Class‘. She received 336 votes (28.3%) and was very close to taking the top spot from Yuri.

Third place went to Oh Yeon Seo, who stars in the KBS2 drama ‘You Who Rolled in Unexpectedly‘, while 4th place went to freelance weather woman Park Eun Ji and 5th place to comedian Byun Suh Eun.

What is noticeable is that stand out sexy stars such as actress Kim Hye Soo and singer Lee Hyori did not rank in the top 5. A staff person at ‘The Beach Shop’ stated, “Instead of the women who have glamorous bodies and [are known to] look amazing in bikinis, now Yuri, Yoon Jin Yi, Park Eun Ji, and etc., who are relative rookies are gaining a lot of attention for their natural, sporty yet voluptuous bodies.”

‘The 3rd Hospital’ Reveals a Profile for Sooyoung’s Character

 
As a preview for its upcoming broadcast, “The 3rd Hospital” has revealed a character profile for “Euijin”, Sooyoung’s character in the drama.

Lee Euijin
Euijin, who just returned from Germany,
“I want to stay in Seunghyun’s house!”
A violist who hangs onto Seunghyun.
She lived with Choi Hyunwook in Jiri Mountain as his daughter.
She’s a high school student and is studying viola.
When she was 5 years old, her mother passed away.
After that, Hyunwook took care of her. That’s why it’s “Lee” Euijin.
She grew up under Hyunwook and Uncle Kanghyuk in Jiri Mountain.
Because Hyunwook spoiled her, she started talking to Seunghyun
using informal language as soon as she saw him, but it looked cute rather than rude.
As soon as Seunghyun heard Euijin’s name, his face hardened.
When he later found out the truth, he was hurt.
Euijin liked Seunghyun from the beginning, and without hiding, she followed Seunghyun everywhere.
She tells her uncle, who was worried that no one would take a tomboy like her, not to worry because there is Seunghyun.
After a few years in Jiri Mountain, Seunghyun returns to Seoul.
To Euijin, who starts to have tears in her eyes after absorbing the news, Seunghyun promises he will come back for her.
Soon, after her studies in Germany, Euijin comes back to Seohan Hyupjin Hospital where Seunghyun is staying.
Within a few years, she became much prettier. Now, she is not just a girl he used to know,
but comes back for Seunghyun as a woman.
While she was waiting for Seunghyun in a research room, she tried to pull a prank by grabbing the body of a person who was coming in. However, it wasn’t Seunghyun, but Doohyun.
She yelled, “100% sorry!” and ran away. This was her first encounter with Doohyun.
After that, she meets Seunghyun and tells him she will stay at his house during the orchestra audition period.
Starting a new life in Korea, two men come for her.
Seunghyun, who she really liked from her childhood, and Doohyun, who keeps running into her.
“The cute and lovely Euijin came to take responsibility of Seunghyun.
I think Seunghyun looks out for me because my name is Euijin. The fact that my name is Euijin… I’m very thankful.”

“The 3rd Hospital” is set to begin airing on tvN beginning September 5th.

DOUBLE TAKE: Tiffany Appears in ’1st Look’ Magazine for a Photoshoot and Interview

Tiffany, who would spit out the words “extremely” or “diligently” after every other word, gives off a positive energy like an aura. There are some things you can realize by just looking at her. Unseen efforts could also be seen behind her bright face. With just a few days until her birthday, the shooting time spent with Tiffany, who was chosen as this season’s “Bean Pole” accessory muse, as expected, was a delight.

1st Look: First, I’m curious about what you’ve been up to lately.

Tiffany: While promoting as ‘Girls’ Generation-TTS’ during the beginning of the year, I prepared for our newly released Japanese single album, ‘PAPARAZZI’. Now that our Japanese promotions have resumed, I’ve been going to and from Korea and Japan.

1st Look: Your birthday is on August 1st. Happy early birthday. What have you done on your past birthdays?

Tiffany: That’s right. Thank you. A few days after my birthday, it will be Girls’ Generation’s 5th anniversary. Because my birthday has always been in the same month as our anniversary, it is usually the most grand and showy amongst the members. The fans give me a lot of presents too. (laugh) While doing all our work according to schedule, I’ve been going to eat yummy foods and playing with my members lately. I want to spend this year’s [birthday] a little more specially, so please recommend some good ideas.


 
1st Look: Today’s photoshoot was conducted with a ‘lovely’ and ‘dandy’ concept, but I heard that you decided on the styling concept yourself.

Tiffany: During a meeting with Girls’ Generation’s head stylist, Seo Sookyung, this was the last concept that came up. I thought it would be fun to show a sexy yet lovely, girlish look, along with a cute, boyish feel and mannish look. I actually had a bob [haircut] when we first debuted. I received a lot of love for my epicene charms during that time. I wanted to show people a side of me through this photoshoot that I haven’t been able to show.


1st Look: In the photoshoot, you experienced various styles that you wouldn’t normally come across. It was an area of work different from when you take the stage as a Girls’ Generation member. What type of attitude did you have going into this?

Tiffany: Um… It wasn’t too different. Even when preparing for a performance, I’m the type that checks everything in detail, from one to ten. Along with the makeup and hair, I also check the outfit’s details and material. Getting on stage up until now has given me a lot of practice. Now, time has passed and I am able to digest mature concepts too, so I’ve become able to work things out in a more fun way. And so, this time is fun and very enjoyable.


1st Look: I heard that you took full part in the styling for Girls’ Generation – TTS’s album, which promotions recently ended for (the red hair in the ‘Twinkle’ music video was also known to have been chosen by recalling Nicole Kidman in the movie ‘Moulin Rouge’).

Tiffany: After my bob [hairstyle] from our debut, I’ve done various hairstyles, going from blonde to orange hair. I heard that red hair is hard for an Asian person to pull off, but it looked very appealing on Nicole Kidman and Emma Stone. That’s why I suggested it, and I think it turned out well, fortunately. (laugh)

1st Look: Do you have a lot of interest in fashion, too?

Tiffany: I didn’t know until now, but fashion had become a part of my daily life. When I look now at photos of my mom, dad, aunt, and clothes they wear, their [fashion] sense is unique. I think I’ve gotten a lot of influence, especially from my mom. Since I was little, she would always tell me this is pretty or that is pretty and would pick things for me. Even with a pink color, she would tell me the differences in shades, so I’ve always been familiar. I think of those things matter-of-factly.


1st Look: Do you usually like carrying bags around?

Tiffany: Simply put, bags are family. Because bags carry my life around, I consider them extremely precious.

1st Look: Did you like the bags you used in today’s shoot?

Tiffany: (pointing at the pink bag) Hot pink! I recommend this one. It’s because I like pink so much. I think vivid colored bags will gain popularity this fall. I carried a pretty, orange bag today.

1st Look: What do you usually carry in your purse?

Tiffany: Because the shoot wasn’t going to be so long today, I didn’t bring a lot of things, but first, I brought my wallet and diary. Whenever I have time, I always plan something. Whether I go to receive treatment or to exercise. I write a lot too. (while opening and showing her diary) I organize outfit concepts and write songs I want to perform on stage too.

1st Look: Introduce items in your purse.

Tiffany: I write in my diary with various colored pens. And perfume! When my mood settles or when I want to feel strength, I spray it. My hair tie is even pink. I have glasses too. I wear glasses when I go out in the morning. And I carry powder and lip tint, as every girl usually does. Depending on my outfit, I carry either a red or pink [lip tint]. If you want to look pretty, you must use perfume and lip tint. (laugh) I usually read books and carry games around, but I didn’t bring any with me today. Oh, and a MP3 player. I always listen to it while getting ready.


1st Look: You’re wearing an outfit for the photoshoot today. What is your usual style like?

Tiffany: It’s different every day, but I’ve been wearing slippers and training suits often lately because I’ve been feeling lazy. (laugh) Still, I generally dress femininely. I like girlish, romantic styles. Like skirts or one piece [dresses]. And I like long jump suits too. Because we have to ride the airplane for a long time when we have to go overseas for filming or concerts, jumpsuits are the best.

1st Look: Girls’ Generation has 9 members, and Girls’ Generation – TTS has 3. It was also the first unit promotions. I’m curious about how you feel about completing promotions.

Tiffany: Rather than by the number [of members], we tried our best to conduct and show a stage filled with our voices. What we haven’t been able to show until now—what I personally like the most—I was happy to be able to express our styling and music. I was sad because it felt like it passed by so quickly, and I want to promote again too. Still, I’m happiest when all 9 are together. Not only were there unit promotions, all the members were doing their own activities. It turned out that us three were least lonely. We went overseas for a concert for the first time in a while, and the members usually use separate rooms, but all 9 of us were stuck together and played and ate together. As happy as we were doing individual activities, we learned how valuable we are to each other.


1st Look: What song have you been listening to a lot lately?

Tiffany: I’ve been into electronic a lot, so I’ve been listening to it a lot. I went to Wonder Girls’ concert recently and have been listening to all the songs on their album. Personally, I really like their music a lot. I don’t know why, but I’ve been getting into Ne-Yo again lately. I think I listen to him a lot more because it’s [his music] between electronic and R&B. I recommend it. (laugh)

1st Look: When you really don’t have any schedules, what do you do?

Tiffany: After promotions for Girls’ Generation – TTS ended, I’ve been having those kind of days (Translator’s note: days without any schedules). There honestly isn’t anything for me to do. So on days I rest, I just go for ‘treatments’. I go to the dermatologist and receive hair treatments. I think skin and hair are essential for a woman. I would go home if we don’t have schedules for long periods of time, but because I only get [free] time occasionally, I invest all my time in self-treatment.

1st Look: You’re receiving love from numerous people amongst the general public, but are there times where you wish you lived a regular life like other girls your age?

Tiffany: (after thinking) Of course I want to do that. I also feel that it’d be nice if I could go around comfortably and that shopping and going out to eat would be my own personal time. However, this is the job I chose, and as much as I want to do those things, my current work is valuable. And so I try to be more responsible and show a good example, and I am enjoying it. I mean this life itself .



1st Look: In a different interview prior to this, I saw you say, ‘It feels like launching a Tiffany brand within a Girls’ Generation brand.’ It made me nod my head. Along with Girls’ Generation’s future, I think there is a future that Tiffany dreams of herself.

Tiffany: Even when I think about it, my dream is pretty big. (laugh) While fulfilling dreams as a Girls’ Generation member, I want to show more musical aspects as Tiffany, and also want to attempt drama or musical roles if they suit me. And fashion! I hope I can express the fashion I love as much as I want, enthusiastically.

I remember the first moment Girls’ Generation was stamped in my mind. On the opposite side of Shinsa-dong Street, there was a bus stop on a wide street. It was when they were gaining a great amount of popularity through ‘Gee’ and ‘Tell Me Your Wish’ like a social phenomenon. Appealing posters of the girls wearing white, short-sleeved t-shirts and tight fitting jeans were stuck closely together at the bus stop. Right when the sun was setting, the light bouncing off the posters on the bus stop looked like a product installed by a magician. Those girls are now standing at the peak of ‘Hallyu’. They have fans, not only in Korea, but all over the world. Amongst them,  short-haired girl Tiffany came to Korea alone when she was in middle school. She debuted when she was the age of a high school student and has now become a woman in her 20′s. With her trademark loveable eye smile, she has matured enough to be able to show the image of a dandy woman, which she didn’t have a chance to show before. Tiffany has now grown to the point where she can express herself alone.
