Soshified, I want to present to you guys the new additions to our staff family! This new group consists of writers that will focus on producing news stories about Girls’ Generation that might not be covered by mainstream Korean media but are still important news stories that fans don’t want to miss. They will also be producing reviews, feature stories, interviews, and much much more in the future. In addition to that each of the writers will also have a weekly/monthly column that will showcase various things that they want to personally focus on with regards to Girls’ Generation as well as Soshified. I hope you watch over them carefully and excuse us for any mishaps or problems we have because this team is rather new and we’re working out things step by step with everyone. If you want to send tips or maybe have an idea for a story that you want covered feel free to email us at [email protected]! We look forward to hearing from everyone and please look forward to changes in our community in the future!
