The leaders of “new hallyu”, Girls’ Generation and Super Junior members “shared” through a recent broadcast.
On the 16th at 5:35 PM, Girls’ Generation and Super Junior appeared on the live KBS1 “Love Request” episode, “Super Junior·Girls’ Generation’s Gift”. The two groups, who are hallyu stars, took the live stage, giving thanks to fans all over Asia, as well as helping children living under difficult situation.
An eleven-year-old boy from Cambodia who is too poor to get treated for his inherent heart disease, a nine-year-old Indonesian boy with bad eyesight, and Cha Sunyoung of Jeju-do, a child who lives a hard life in a motel with her widowed mother and is a fan of Girls’ Generation, were present during the broadcast. The two children from overseas, who are fans of Girls’ Generation and Super Junior, were able to get treated in Korea through the groups’ invitations.
[non-Girls’ Generation parts omitted]
Footage of Girls’ Generation at the blood drive, held on September 9th at the KBS Hall, was also aired. While all members did get tested to donate blood, due to the rule of not being allowed to donate within a month of going overseas, they could not. Of the members, Tiffany was concluded as being the healthiest member, while the youngest member, Seohyun, participated in her first blood donation.
Meanwhile, through Girls’ Generation and Super Junior fans’ sharing mindset, during the 85 minute broadcast this day, approximately 32 million won (~US$29,000) was raised.
Editor’s note: There are some errors in the original Korean article. The eleven-year-old is a girl, and not a boy as mentioned. Also, Seohyun was not even present at the event; furthermore, she has donated blood in the past (on the 29 May 2010 episode of We Got Married). Lastly, the dates mentioned are inaccurate. The live portion of this Love Request episode was filmed and aired on the 17th (not the 16th), and the blood drive was held on September 7th.

Thanks for the comments! I added an editor’s note to clarify ^_^
Yeah I’ve seen this streaming and enjoy it even though it pretty much bring tears to the eyes. I love when the baby girl hug Yoona, she’s so attached to Yoona so cute. Wow Fany being the healthiest member out of the 6 that were present. Isn’t she like the junk food junkie who want pizza most of the time?! Anyway glad those kids get treated well and get to meet 2 famous group leaders of the hallyu wave. It’s awesome with the amount of money raise too. Love their performances too, just wish Sooyoung was there. Get well soon babygirl! Oh yeah and the little girl’s mother gets to hug HyoFanyYoon, so lucky and was so cute too. She’s so tiny next to SoShi. Thanks ssf for sharing and for streaming this morning. :D
Yes bhost909 the Nate article was inaccurate. Korean journalists sometimes make up facts.
1. Seohyun did donate during WGM so it was not her first time.
2. Seohyun wasn’t even there to donate blood lol. Sooyoung, Seohyun and Jessica were all not present that day. Seohyun had a schedule clash and I think it was probably uni.
@residentbenchwarmer or any other writer, there needs to be a correction in this sentence: An eleven-year-old boy from Cambodia who is too poor to get treated for her inherent heart disease.
It was a girl so we don’t want people getting the wrong idea here.
It was actually a pretty nice show! I like that their company sent them together haha, and I think it was one of those shows where you didn’t need to understand Korean to have some idea of what was going on. The whole thing overall was pretty sweet and touching, and they even performed Complete on TV… I don’t remember the last time they performed that outside of a concert.
Ahh so none of them could donate blood? I remember seeing that rule in a We Got Married episode with Seohyun, but I forgot about it… with the way the girls travel, I don’t think they’ll ever be able to donate. Speaking of that We Got Married episode though, if Seohyun was donating blood then, how could this be her first time participating in a blood donation? Funky..
Anyway, thanks for the article!
