Yuri, who is known for her workout regimen, including her habit of doing 600 sit-ups every day, once again had her physical training featured, this time on KBS2’s “Star Life Theater” on November 24th. A member of the gym Girls Fitness, Yuri was shown going there after hours due to her schedule. She commented that during Girls’ Generation’s Japan Arena Tour over the summer, breathing inside the hot venues was difficult, but she was able to handle it because of her training.
The episode on the 24th also showed scenes of the girls participating in a fansigning event.
The girls have also attracted attention with their full gluttony despite their perfect figures.
In the episode broadcast on November 23rd, the girls revealed their easygoing daily lives outside the TV screen.
On this day, the girls cheered at the sight of food bought by one of the staff while preparing for a music program in the green room. They replenished their energies by eating enthusiastically, and showed a vigorous desire for food.
The members said, “There’s always a buffet in Girls’ Generation’s green room. The manager oppas work really hard.” At this, the VJ asked if they go on diets. The girls replied, “No we don’t. If we think that we gained weight, we just control what we eat, but we need to eat to work.” With this, they showed a free and easy attitude.
On the other hand, Tiffany attracted attention by practicing very hard for her first musical. She received many favorable comments from viewers after this episode revealed her practicing for her upcoming musical for 12 hours a day, in addition to working earnestly as a singer.
Tiffany also spoke of her drifting relationship with her father, as she tearfully shared some of the difficulties she has had.
Through the show, she admitted that she has become distant with her father ever since she went to Korea to be a singer. Tiffany said, “I was sixteen years old eight years ago when I first came to Korea. I was at the peak of my wandering adolescent age, and it was two years after my mother passed away.”
Tiffany mentioned how she came to choose this career path. “During that adolescent period of my life, music was the only thing that made me happy.” However, her father was opposed to Tiffany becoming a singer. On this, Tiffany said, “In honesty, my relationship with my father drifted a lot while I’ve been working as a singer. It’s been a long time since we’ve talked, and now that I think about it, I have never spent much time with him at all,” and spilled the tears she was trying to fight back.
Tiffany kept wiping her tears as she said, “It’s been almost eight years since I came here and…it’s upsetting.”
Also on the 23rd, Hyoyeon showed her professionalism and her maturity. Hyoyeon was recently chosen as a fixed cast member on KBS2’s “Invincible Youth 2” along with Sunny. Perhaps because of the nerves that came with filming the second episode (Editor’s Note: the article says first episode), she was having such a rough time that she even skipped lunch. However, she said in front of the production crew, “I don’t think it’s indigestion,” and put on a bit of a smile.
Before going back to filming, Boom cheered her up by saying, “Don’t be sick,” and also encouraged her. He said, “Hyoyeon has something strong in her heart. I respect and admire that about her. I’m just expressing as a fan my respect for her when I see her overcome difficulties while being active in Girls’ Generation and constantly improving herself in every album.”
The cast then went to the mud flats where Hyoyeon tried her best and did not hold herself back even though she was not feeling well, showing how passionate she is.
When Hyoyeon was interviewed, she expressed her intentions and once again showed her professionalism when she replied, “How can you always be clean when you work? When I’m on stage like for Music Bank, I strive for perfection because I have to show the best I can be as a singer. But right now, I’m here to work so all I can do is think positively and put in my best effort.”

OMG! SNSD are the best, just by reading these stories about the plight of girls and how the face with a nice smile on their faces every day for so many years makes my heart ache and all I can do is give them life from where I am wishing them best and praying so much about them … SNSD always FIGHTING!!!!
SNSD Hwaiting!
Fany, please don’t cry, someday he will understand. Thus keep going, fulfill your dream.
He is proud of you, his lovely daughter :x :x :x

This is a must watch show for everyone who doubted SNSD.
It shows how much effort & sacrifice they had made throughout the years since their trainee days to achieve the level of success & popularity they have today.
Look at Fany, she have to risk having a strained relationship with her father.
Its ok, noona.. Like a Malay saying: Air dicincang tidak akan putus.
It means you cant cut water equivalent to the true meaning of you cant cut off a family relationship just like that.
Stay strong.
Same goes to Hyoyeon. She might be sick but she gave her all when she is filming IY2.

SOSHi fighitng!~~
I think it’s the first time Tiffany says this on a program. She usually talks about her family situation with smiles. So even it’s tough, I thought it would be alright. I’ve never thought of it this way. Sure that Tiffany is strong. Not everyone can chase after their dream like her. Be strong Tiff!
hyoyeon’s an optimistic girl ((:
OMG…just seeing Tiffany’s pictures here make me so sad…. :'(
I watched the 1st episode…there are part where Sooyoung and Yuri went to their school..
I can see how incredible and amazing they are..even with their super busy crazy schedule,
still, they’re trying hard to submit their assignment…they did their assignment in the waiting room,
Yuri get up at 3am to do her assignment..that make me so ashamed of myself…and I can feel that they really want to feel as a normal student..I feel pity for them whenever they are surrounded by other students in school..this program show the real self of the girls..I hope Soshi subs will sub this fast..totally looking forward to it!
Sob sob … poor Fany T_T
Waah !
okay, i’m totally surprised by yuri’s exercise habit (i just know by now)..600? No wonder @ hello baby, sooyoung easily ordered mc mong to do 100x push-ups…
Hyo has really incredible passion for her job, yet able to have fun along with it
And so sad for tiffany, it’s great that she can stand for herself at a very young age, but still.. :'(
Wow I can’t wait for pink subs. Yuri the fitness queen, Shikshin Shidae, aw Fany angel you’re doing great and hope you’ll be able to communicate with your family more often in the future. If their maxi single do great in the states, then that means more exposure here and also Fany will be able to spend time with her family. Hyo is so adorable and so strong, keep doing your best in everything. Boom so cool and sweet for cheering her up. Thank you SSF! :)
I wanted to give a TIffany a big hug.. shes so strong T___T
I watch,cry!!!
everytime i see Fany crying i want to hug her!
The part with fany was so sad ;(
I really can’t wait to see this show subbed. So many great insights into the girls’ lives. I do feel a bit bad for them though, being followed by cameras 24/7.
this sounds like a really great show,
i’ll make sure to watch it! the one i
want to comment on though is tiffany.
it pains us all to see her sad. at times
she may wonder if she chose the right
path. now that is up to her, but the
response from the millions of people that
have been inspired to be better and
stronger people because of her example
will give her a resounding “yes”. you are
an incredible woman, and it seems to fit
that you would be the one willing to suffer
to help others. it’s painful, but i hope all
grow to understand how incredible it is…
it really is…
