Jessica wants to go on a casual date just like any young lady in their 20′s would.
Jessica posed for the June issue of Elle magazine, looking as chic and stylish as ever in a black and white ensemble.
But different from her intimidating exterior appearance, the singer revealed that those that are close to her call her clumsy and sincere.
“Ever since I was a young girl up until now, I have never been able to go on a blind date,” she said. “I want to go on a casual set-up date like everyone else, eating street food and spending a day at the amusement park.”
When asked if there was a side of her only she knew but others weren’t aware of, the witty Jessica responded, “It wouldn’t be a secret if I told you!”
One day the singer hopes to have a family of her own that’s as happy and full of laughter as her current family now.
Her full interview and the rest of her pictorials can be found in the June issue of Elle Magazine.

TaeTiSeo made an appearance on ‘Lee Sora’s Second Proposal.
Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun performed their songs “Twinkle” and “Love Sick“. After their performances they were asked about the times when their behaviors have been less than ideal.
Lee Sora prodded by stating, “You can do anything at your age. Curse a little, run out if you don’t want to sing, and try changing boyfriends once a month.” However, the girls of TaeTiSeo responded, “Though we don’t really take care of our images in any particular way, I think we have a good sense of responsibility,” not giving into the host who jokingly commented that she tried her best to pry the information out of them.
TaeTiSeo also mentioned during the episode, “[We'd] like to perform with a live band at a small theater,” after making that statement they collaborated with the in-house band at ‘Lee Sora’ Second Proposal’ and performed a cover of Pixie Lott‘s “Mama Do“.
This episode of the music program aired on May 23rd (KST) at 12:10am on KBS Joy.

The two girls, who wore several of Chanel’s classy and colorful outfits for the photo shoot, turned out lovely in pink and peach make-up.

The power of Korean girls groups have been growing stronger in the Kpop industry. Recently, a Korean online community has pulled a poll on which girls groups being the most popular based on the numbers of their fan club registration.
According to sources, Girls Generation is named the absolute winner on this; their fan club, “SONE” has a record of 285000 registrations. The only fan club could be compatible with this number is Super Junior’s ELF. Runner up would be Wonder Girls, which their fan club is recorded to have 96000 registrations. Wonder Girls will be opened up to the oversea market, which should expect a bigger population to join their fan club in the future.
2NE1 took the third place with a number of about 90000 more fan club registrations. It marks quite a success for 2NE1 because they debuted two years later than Girls Generation and Wonder Girls. The other girls groups got into top 10 are the following: f(x) with 65000 registrations, Kara (53000 registrations), Brown Eyed Girls (42000 registrations) followed by 4minute and Miss A, they both ranked at number seven on the poll, each fan club has the number of approximately 32000 registrations.
What surprised the public the most is the rather new girl group, A pink, they gathered 30000 registrations for such a short period of time since debut. And on the other hand, T-ara was not on the top 10 list even though they are one of the most popular girl groups because their fan club was once disbanded and lately their new official fan club is opened up for registration, soon they will be ranked within the top 10. After School ranked number 10 with 20000 registrations.
The ‘MBC Korean Music Wave in Google’ concert took place at 11am KST on May 22nd (local time, 7pm PDT on May 21st) in Shoreline Amphitheater, California, USA and was aired live worldwide simultaneously through YouTube.
On the previous day, SM artists performed at the ‘SM Town Live World Tour III in Los Angeles’ held at Honda Center in Anaheim in front of more than 12,000 fans. For the two concerts, the girls had to perform with only seven members as Yuri and YoonA were busy with their drama shoots.
The girls opened their performances with the English version of ‘The Boys’ and they covered YoonA and Yuri’s parts professionally throughout the song. Without an interpreter, the girls had some great time interacting with the audience.
Girls’ Generation then continued to captivate the audience with ‘Mr. Taxi’ and ‘Gee’. During the early part of their ‘Gee’ performance, there was a technical problem with the microphone. Nonetheless, the members kept their focus, showing no signs of panic and wrapped up their performances professionally.
‘MBC Korean Music Wave in Google’ was hosted by Taeyeon and Tiffany with great performances by some of the biggest stars of Kpop such as Girls’ Generation,TVXQ, Wonder Girls, Kara, Beast, MBLAQ, Sistar, f(x) and Super Junior. During Girls’ Generation’s performances the number of viewers rose to more than 119,000, which was the highest figure observed throughout the concert.
For those who did not manage to catch the girls’ brilliant performances, check out the video below:
As previously reported, American actor/singer/songwriter Simon Curtis revealed that he was blown away with Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung last February. On May 21, he shared a photo of himself posing with Sooyoung and Jessica backstage at the “SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR III in LOS ANGELES”.

Love them <3.” Simon also gave live updates from the successful LA concert and chatted with fellow K-Pop fans via Twitter.
Additionally, he confessed that he was taken away with Jessica, commenting, “Jessica kinda stole my heart tonight though...she was so lovely and so kind. Sigh <3.” Several hours ago, the American entertainer also complimented Sooyoung’s English while tweeting with a fellow Girls’ Generation fan, writing, “Sooyoung can speak English really well too actually!”

Girls' Generation's Seohyun became the first contestant on the quiz show, "100 Million Quiz Show" to get a perfect score.
On the episode of "100 Million Quiz Show" that aired on May 18, Seohyun guest starred and surprised everyone by receiving a perfect score.
Seohyun, who has a strong model student and bookworm image, was not only able to answer each question but to explain each answer in a detailed manner. Seohyun was able to steadily answer each question and was able to rise to the final round. Her final question was, "What decides the color of an eggshell?"
With 40,000 dollars and a car on line, Seohyun explained "There are different races and colors of people too. Just because an Asian person drinks white milk, doesn't mean they will produce a white person." With that, she chose answer number 1, which was "It depends on the color of the female chicken."
This correct answer made Seohyun into the MVP for being the first person to achieve a perfect score. MC Kim Yong Man stated, "This is the first time this ever happened."
Netizens who caught this episode commented, "She has read so many books so she is filled with knowledge too," "She was number 1 on 'Music Bank' and she is the MVP for this show as well," "She is too smart to be in Girls' Generation," "Hyoyeon is number 1 with dance and Seohyun got a perfect score - Girls' Generation is on fire," "A smart maknae," and many more.
SMTown LA was held at the Honda Center in Anaheim on May 20th, 2012. The stage was smaller than the previous ones (Staples Center in LA and Madison Square Garden in NY), and I was sitting at the middle of the 200 section. The view was pretty good and I could clearly see the girls when they walked down to the front part of the stage. The overall quality of the concert was not as good as the one held in MSG, and yet the ticket prices were higher. I spotted many seats at the 300 sections were left empty compare to SMTown NY were a nearly sold out crowd. They didn't have a lot of "effects" in this concert either, where they had fireworks and artists being held 100 feet above the ground in NY. Instead, they had water shooting from the floor, and that's the only effects they had all night. It's a little bit cheaply made to me. Some members didn't appear in the concert, only 8 members of Super Juniors were there, and 7 members of SNSD (Yuri and Yoona were missing). I don't know if that has to do with the ticket sales. There were some adjustments on the songs that I liked and disliked. SHINee combined few songs together into one song (Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer, and one other song that I forgot the name). It wasn't a good idea, as I thought the original was much better, and I kinda of thought that they were doing it to shorten the concert time. The concert time was shorter than the one held in NY (maybe about 30 minutes shorter). SNSD has performed some songs that has never been performed in previous SMTowns, such as Twinkle, Devil's Cry, and California Girls. (See the list of songs below). Jessica and Krystal finally performed a different song, where they performed Tik Tok twice in previous SMTowns. I enjoyed the cover of California Girls by them. The solo dance part were cut, maybe due to Yuri and Yoona absence. The only artists that have new songs from last SMTown concert were Shinee (Sherlock) and SNSD (Twinkle). EXO had their first debut of SMTown on this night.
The songs that SNSD performed in this concert (Not in order)
Devil's Cry (Taeyeon Solo)
Run Devil Run
Genie
Gee
Kissing You
The Boys
California Girls (Jessica and Krystal)
Twinkle (TaeTiSeo)
The concert was still a good one overall, but it's a bit of downgrade compare to the previous. Hopefully they will have another epic one at NYC in the near future.
