Sunny and Seohyun praised for their voice narration on ‘Real Men’!

Sunny and Seohyun have been praised for their voice narration on ‘Real Men‘.

The new variety show aired its first episode on April 14. The show features celebrities such as Kim Soo Ro and MBLAQ‘s Mir actually enlisting in the army and going through the same rigorous training that real soldiers receive.

Sunny and Seohyun had examined the soldiers’ experience from a woman’s point of view, and had narrated the show. They were amazed by the organization of the soldiers even when they were folding laundry and eating. They explained army terms that some people could be unfamiliar with, and helped liven up the show with their energy.

They earned much praise from the viewers who laughed at their humorous commentary, including Seohyun’s comment of, “I’m embarrassed, but that’s something fresh“, when she saw the men taking off their shirts to receive their physical.

Among the male celebrities, Lee Seung Gi came out on top with 9.2% of the votes, while Psy trailed behind in 2nd place with 8.5%.

K-League Interviews Taeyeon for Official Guidebook, ’2013 Beautiful K-League’

In the 2013 K-League (editor’s note: South Korean football league) official guidebook, Taeyeon was voted as the ideal type of K-League. Out of 755 players who voted, 540 voted for Taeyeon as their ideal type, naming her “Miss K-League”. Kim Taehee and Kim Sarang took second and third place in the poll, respectively. The official guidebook, titled “2013 Beautiful K-League”, also included an interview with Taeyeon.

The Woman K-League Loved, Taeyeon

We asked the somewhat cheeky question of “Who is your ideal type?” to players who will be playing in the 2013 K-League Classic and K-League Challenge. While married players didn’t answer with their wives in mind, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, who received enthusiastic support from unmarried players, beat actresses Kim Taehee, Kim Sarang, as well as another girl group member, miss A’s Suzy, and became “Miss K-League”. We had to hear from Taeyeon, who received a generous amount of love from the K-Leaguers.

-Beautiful K-League: Passing prominent candidates, Kim Taehee, Suzy, and Kim Sarang, you have become the number one ideal type amongst K-League Classic and Challenge players. How do you feel?

-Taeyeon: I can’t believe it. (laugh) But I feel really good. Thank you.

-Beautiful K-League: Are you, by any chance, used to soccer players’ affections? Why do you think Beautiful K-Leaguers chose you as their ideal type? I want to hear your honest, inner thoughts.

-Taeyeon: I’m not sure. I’m really not. I’m starting to wonder what that reason is too.

-Beautiful K-League: Most of the players who chose you as their ideal type were born in the later years of the 1980′s. Looking at just those results, rather than ‘samchon (translator’s note: uncle) fans’, it seems the fan composition has changed to ‘friend fans’ or ‘dongsaeng (translator’s note: younger) fans’. Is that how it really is?

-Taeyeon: I think the type of people who like Girls’ Generation is always diverse. If we gain fans who are good at sports, I think it would be very nice.

-Beautiful K-League: In 2008, there were performances at various soccer matches, from a Korea-Japan all star match, to a Manchester United visitors match, to a Peace Queen Cup. Is there a difference between concerts and other events?

-Taeyeon: I always perform at concerts happily, but there has been a moment where I worried about the soccer field grass being damaged.

-Beautiful K-League: If you were to choose an ideal type amongst soccer players, who would it be?

-Taeyeon: When I see players sweat on the grounds, they all look hard-working and cool, so it’s hard to pick just one person.

-Beautiful K-League: Which Girls’ Generation member has the most interest in soccer?

-Taeyeon: All my members are active, so I think they all like soccer. Personally, I sometimes play Winning 11 (translator’s note: football game). (laugh) I like soccer!

-Beautiful K-League: K-League has been met with its 30th anniversary. Could you give the players and fans a line of encouragement?

-Taeyeon: I think it’s most appealing seeing you focus and sweat during each match. I will continue to look forward to great matches. And please love Girls’ Generation lots!
