[03.30.11] Jessica on the Runway vs. Taeyeon on the Red Carpet

Jessica and Taeyeon, both from the girl group Girls' Generation, wore see-through outfits on the fashion runway and the red carpet, and are being called 'pure and glamorous' for doing so. On March 29th, Jessica modeled at the F/W Seoul Fashion Week show, held at the Seoul Exhibition and Trade Center, and showed off clothes designed by famous designer Lee Juyoung. Jessica led the other models down the runway, and seized the show in the process. On this day, Jessica wore a laced, black satin dress that gave off an alluring femme fatale feel. In particular, her physique was highlighted by the see-through look created by the laces and a wide belt serving as a corset. Jessica's hidden sexiness was brought to light by a slit skirt which showed her legs and matching long boots. On the other hand, late last year at the Melon Music Awards, Taeyeon wore a black mini dress as she walked on the red carpet, bringing both a sexy image and a sense of "innocent glamour." Taeyeon strayed from her rather cute image with a deep neck line and some exposed black lace. However, while the black lace was exposed, she avoided direct exposure of her cleavage, creating a coy, yet sexy persona.

On the 26th of March broadcast of "We Got Married", CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa and Girls' Generation's Seohyun venture on their last date together. Their last mission was to give each other the happiest day as their gift. Sure enough, both of them tried to make the date as special and as memorable as possible, but our Seohyun went the extra mile to make a last stunning impression in front of her on-screen husband. Seohyun looked as if she had forgotten how to play the guitar, but she picked up the guitar and started playing the chords of the "Banmal Song", a song they once sang together regarding politeness. Seohyun said, If we weren't polite to each other, we would probably be regretting it now,". Yonghwa was touched at the thought that Seohyun worked really hard to present the song, even to the point of changing the lyrics. He did not expect the change to the song, and that left him speechless. Check out the Soshified subbed version of the song below: YongSeo fan or not, the second part of their last date next week so be sure to check that out!

Seohyun said, "When I think of pink I think of Tiffany-unnie…" The girls nodded in agreement and our resident manager Tiffany herself spoke, saying that the color pink carries a special significance to her members because not only do all of the girls adore the color, but also since it is the color of their fanclub, so they feel that is has an important meaning. Yuri then said that she recently changed her room's wallpaper to pink, as she has begun to like pink more and more recently. Hyoyeon then said jokingly that she switched to a pink toothbrush, causing everyone to giggle. Whether or not she was kidding we do not know... They discussed some other things they bought recently that were pink, and were once again brought back to Tiffany's overwhelming love for pink. The video ended on a happy note, where all of the girls agreed that pink was special because of their fanclub, and then with a final 'We love pink!' shoutout for the viewers.

A former SM Entertainment trainee, Jang Ha-Jin, gave mention to Yoona in her autobiography, citing her experiences and observations of her fellow trainee. She describes the young Yoona saying, "I remember the time when I first saw this unnie. I had my mouth wide open. She was really really pretty. At then, she was tall for a 13 year old, and looked like barbie doll because she had long arms and legs.", commenting on her small face, dimples and shining eyes. After talking about Yoona's appearance, she also commented on her personality; "Yoona unnie was a more genuine person as I got to know her more. She was easy-going and kind, and didn't know how to talk badly behind their back. She also always conceded and took care of others. She laughs so well, that I never saw her fought with others or get mad for 3 years I've known her." and adding that she once thought to herself, "Is that unnie Buddha?". Her praise for Yoona doesn't stop there, Jang going on to say that "She didn't have much greed and didn't want to stand out from her peers" and that "She had nice personality and talent." She finishes off saying that "she was very playful and very funny. Unlike her look, she acted like a guy, impersonated comedians, and did lots of wild pranks, making herself a mood maker. On the other hand, when she was alone, she had lots of deep thoughts. I think I liked that kind of unnie." View full translation here. Now a student at KAIST University in Korea, Jang's praise of Yoona's kind-hearedness and personality has caught the attention of many netizens who have commented "Yoona has the looks of a goddess and the character of the Buddha" and "I can't wait to read this book", among other positive comments.

Amidst SNSD's preparation for their up-coming Japanese album, footage of the group practising in their training room has recently surfaced on the net. The video shows the girls going over the dance routine for "My Best Friend", the third track on their third mini-album "Hoot".

[03.19.11] Soshified's #SNSDVisualDreams World Tour

In our recent news article about Intel releasing new CF shorts featuring Girls' Generation, we made a quick mention about Soshified's efforts to promote Girls' Generation's Visual Dreams through Twitter. We are encouraging SONEs everywhere (that means you!) to take photos of the girls' Visual Dreams posters at famous landmarks or scenic areas in the countries in which they live. After the photos are taken, we would like you all to tweet the pictures with the hashtag #snsdvisualdreams included, along with your location. Also, please post any photos that you take to the #snsdvisualdreams thread we've started here on Soshified, as we're going to be compiling the pictures into a cool project soon. We here at Soshified want to see this become a worldwide trend so that the entire world can see how far the reach of the SONE family is! Here are some examples of photos that SONEs around the world have already begun tweeting. Dong Xuan Market, the largest covered market in Hanoi, Vietnam - photo by @Soo_Lynn Limestone Lake in Southern Thailand - photo by @CR_009 Museum of Natural Science in Houston, Texas, USA - photo by @RFMmichael But the photos aren't limited to just these places. Visual Dreams posters have found their way to all corners of the globe: Singapore, France, UK, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, Canada, Australia, and places like Southern/Northern California and New York City in the USA. We want to be able to click on the hashtag #snsdvisualdreams and see photos of the beautiful posters from all these places around the world and more! As someone who has personally contributed to this effort already (the photo from Houston is mine), I have some advice for SONEs who are gearing up to participate in this project. The first bit of advice I have is to bring at least a friend or two to help. While you can mess around with the self-timer settings on your camera, having friends around to take the pictures or hold the posters makes everything much easier. It's also highly recommended to dress comfortably and wear shoes that are meant for walking. I found myself pretty exhausted after spending hours upon hours driving and walking around Houston with fellow Houstonian Soshified members GPTX and WingedCBAM. Ultimately, the most important thing is this: Be on the lookout for the posters, because we want to see pictures of them out and about in your home country. Tweet them with where you took the photo, be sure to include the hashtag #snsdvisualdreams and show everyone how proud you are to be part of this global family called SONE! And don't forget to post your photos after you're done in the official Soshified #snsdvisualdreams thread.

Taeyeon's "star" is certainly shining brightly as her ex-mentor, The One, has spoken fondly of her again in a new tvN Taxi interview. When asked how Taeyeon was as a student, he described her as a child with a strong sense of direction and knew that she "would make it". The One and Taeyeon first collaborated on a duet called "You Bring Me Joy" in 2004 before her debut. Their next collaboration would be 6 years later, successfully reuniting master and protege in the professional musical arena. Released last December, "Like A Star" achieved an "all-kill" on the digital music charts almost immediately. In a show of how close they still are after all these years, The One joked that the song was "carried" by Taeyeon's idol status and other singers have been contacting him to get in touch with her.
