Known for their petite frames, Girls’ Generation is attracting a lot of attention for the statement, “We have to eat food no matter what.”

MC Tak Jae Hoon asked, “Who eats the most?” Tiffany replied, “I eat quite a lot these days” and Taeyeon quickly added, “She’s a little sensitive about food.” Tiffany agreed, “I am sensitive about food. I always have to eat [before performing]. Also, if I want to eat something, I have to eat it.”

Girls’ Generation’s YoonA Glows in Her CF BTS Photos

By now, the majority of consumers are aware that all photos found in advertisements and magazines have been touched up to some extent. But, the behind the scenes photos of Girls’ Generation’s YoonA prove that her skin gives off a natural glow without the help of technology.

Recently, an online community forum posted several pictures of YoonA under the title “YoonA shooting for Innisfree advertisement.”

Inside the pictures, YoonA patiently waits while her makeup artists dab on final touches before the next shooting. The top photos show her flawless skin and that she looks pretty much the same as her official advertisements, making one conclude that her final pictures don’t require much photoshop.

Hyoyeon’s past word mix-ups crack up the set of ‘Strong Heart’


Hyoyeon’s past word mix-ups crack up the set of ‘Strong Heart’

Hyoyeon had the entire studio roaring in laughter with some of her word mix-ups in the past.

The members of Girls’ Generation were guests on ‘Strong Heart‘s latest episode, and Jun Hyun Moo, one of the other guests on the show, revealed that Hyoyeon had called him Im Chae Moo before.

Hearing this, the other Girls’ Generation members had even more to reveal about Hyoyeon. Tiffany said, “Hyoyeon makes a lot of mistakes when she talks. One time we were listening to Brian McKnight, but she said, ‘Oh Brian McMorning is so good.’” The studio burst into laughter and Hyoyeon explained, “I was trying to say Brian McKnight before any of the other members could, but at the same time, I was watching the members eat McDonald’s morning meal, so I said Brian McMorning.”

When asked what she thought was her worst mix-up, Hyoyeon commented, “The worst time was when I said Whoopi Goldberg was Whoopi Golden Retriever,” once again drawing laughs.

However, that wasn’t all. Seohyun was quick to point out, ”There’s another one. During ‘Oh!‘, Hyoyeon was supposed to sing, ‘What should I do? The proud person..’, and the second line she was supposed to say later on was ‘What should I do? You naive person..” but instead she combined the two phrases in her head and ended up saying, ‘What should I do? You person with no nose hair’ during live broadcast,” as the audience and guests roared with laughter.

YoonA expresses frustration at rumors of her income


YoonA expresses frustration at rumors of her income

All nine Girls’ Generation members were present for the final episode of ‘Strong Heart‘ that aired on February 5th. To celebrate, Boom prepared a segment called ‘Everything About Girls’ Generation‘. The first matter he tackled were rumors on the girls’ income. He said, “I saw an article listing your income, and I was shocked. In the article, it said that YoonA’s yearly income was 4 billion KRW (current exchange rates, approximately 3.66 million USD)“.

YoonA complained that the rumors were completely false and explained, “I saw that particular article as well. But it’s not true. It said that I made 4 billion KRW in the first half of the year, which would mean I’d make 8 billion KRW (approximately 7.32 million USD) for an entire year. It makes absolutely no sense. But I just let it go and things just sort of ballooned from there.“

Girls’ Generation to Make Guest Appearance on ‘Shinhwa Broadcast’

On February 10th, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, and Yoona will be making a guest appearance on “Shinhwa Broadcast”, a variety show hosted by the members of Shinhwa.

As a preview for the episode, a short clip was recently revealed showing the members of Girls’ Generation and Shinhwa collaborating for a hidden camera prank on Yoona. As part of the prank, Yoona was voted as the member who had the worst looks when seen in person and was also ignored when Girls’ Generation and Shinhwa split into teams of two. Yoona was also forced to drink a bitter extract of the roots of a plant, and her answers for a quiz were deemed incorrect for ridiculous reasons. The end of the preview showed that the hidden camera was a success, as Yoona says, “This is really frustrating.”

Girls’ Generation’s appearance on “Shinhwa Broadcast” will air on February 10th at 7:35 PM KST. Check out the preview for this episode of “Shinhwa Broadcast” here http://snsdtowns.blogspot.com/2013/02/preview-130203-girls-generation-shinhwa.html.
