In the past, idols and artists frequently took breaks in between promotions. However, in today’s music industry, the line between rest and activities is being blurred. Popular singers these days are showing their faces through individual performances and overseas promotions, even if they are not promoting in Korea.
Girls’ Generation are considered the leaders of the global K-Pop phenomenon, and they certainly don’t stay quiet for long. Visit davidthompson200 to listen all latest songs from K-Pop.
It’s Time to Become Acting-dols – Yuri, Sooyoung and Yoona
Yoona, who became the first member of Girls’ Generation to act in a drama when she starred in “You Are My Destiny” in 2008, will now act in KBS 2TV’s “Love Rain” with Jang Geunsuk. After a preview of “Love Rain” was revealed, many people began paying attention to Yoona’s fresh, pure, and college-like appearance.
Yuri and Sooyoung, who both appeared in the sitcom “Unstoppable Marriage”, will be making the leap and debuting as full-scale actresses alongside Yoona. Yuri will be appearing in the Monday and Tuesday drama “Fashion King”, playing the role of the chic and cold Choi Anna.
Temporarily shedding her stage name “Sooyoung of Girls’ Generation”, Sooyoung will be making her first acting attempt as “Choi Sooyoung”. She will be starring in the drama “The 3rd Hospital”, which is scheduled to broadcast on tvN this coming July. Though Sooyoung had a small role in the film “Hello Schoolgirl” in 2008 that officially started her feature film career, “The 3rd Hospital” marks the start of her drama career. In “The 3rd Hospital”, Sooyoung will be playing the role of Uijin, a violist, and is expected to be involved in a romantic storyline with fellow stars Kim Seungwoo, Oh Jiho and Kim Minjeong
The Powerful MC Line – Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun
Alongside her MC gig, Taeyeon also recently appeared in the SBS sitcom “Salamander Guru”, in a cameo role of a granddaughter of a wealthy man that owns a large business, where her formidable acting received a lot of attention.
Following Yoona, Seohyun appeared in CF’s for ‘The Face Shop” last year, while Tiffany has been making waves with her performance in the musical “Fame” and in various magazine photo shoots.
Resting for a While – Jessica
In “Wild Romance”, Jessica played the chic Kang Jonghee, a positive yet challenging lead role. She has been reported to be one of the most active members of Girls’ Generation since they debuted. In 2009, Jessica was cast in “Legally Blonde”, making her the first of the members of Girls’ Generation to make a musical appearance, and thus starting a trend of musical debuts amongst her members.
Variety Idol Feeling – Hyoyeon
In a recent broadcast, Hyoyeon was seen driving around in a calm manner, which gave her the nickname “Lee Soogeun of Idols”, and brought her one step closer to solidifying her character.
The Most Busy – Sunny
On top of her other activities, Sunny will be starring in the musical version of “Catch Me If You Can”, playing the hero of the musical, Brenda.
SM Entertainment has officially stated that “Sunny is the most active member in various areas”, and that “the challenge of a musical debut and emceeing is a big burden” for Sunny.

1) Glad that each of them has time to rest and takes individual activity as well.
2) Has anyone noticed that SM also makes use of this so called “break time” of theirs to prepare for a huge comeback this summer with a very 1st full-length album <3
3) 2012 marks their 5th year as an idol group but trust me: there is no way that they gonna disband, esp they just made a debut in US last Feb. They will go strong for @ least 3 more years, don't worry Sones :)
4) Can't wait for their appearance on The Ellen show.
5) Right after bunny, Seobabe is sure to be cast in another musical, keke
6) Ok S1, as we all keep supporting them, don't forget to cheer for SM's latest artist – EXO who will debut this April. Not to mention SHINee's just comeback and f(x) gonna debut in Japan.
~5ting !!!~
PS: for now, keep voting for Time Machine MV for all charts.
I must say I’m a bit surprised that Sunny is the one who is the busiest. Surprised but I understand it. She really is doing a lot at this moment and is really holding her own in all 3! I hope she rests well and doesn’t get sick being so busy!
Although I was hoping that they can have never ending activities so that we can nv get enough of them but they must have been really tired! Lets all support them in whatever ways we can! Hwaiting! :D
SNSD hwaiting, you can do it ! we are all here to support and love you more ^__^
so excited for all of sunny’s activities! :)
hope she doesn’t overwork herself though…
sunny hwaiting <3
should’ve known Sunny would be the busiest…
as i was reading, that’s the only time i realized she has IY 2, Music Island, and a musical right now!
no matter how busy they are, i just hope they’re taking good care of their health! :D
SNSD FIGHTING!
oh. They sure are busy. It’s good to see that Jessica is resting. They have all been pretty busy this year, The Boys promotion, SMTOWN in New York, The Late Show and all the variety shows, dramas and MCing. Please make sure you rest you guys.
SNSD fighting! take care always :D
wow,.i hope they all not too exhausted.,snsd fighting!!
Lol I just knew it would be sunny who’s the busiest xD. I’m happy that sica is taking a break, and hopefully the other girls are getting little breaks as well. like fany’s brake, when she got to go see her family in LA ^__^.
So happy that Jessica gets to rest, and that hyoyeon finally gets to be a long term variety show. Hope snsd can be on more varietys like this. Especially WGM! :D Soshi Fighting <3
Haha yay Jessica can rest
Sm should let her participate in variety shows…..maybe running man!!
Wkwkwk Sunny is the busiest!!! :D :D
Hwaiting unnie!! ^^
Rest well, take care of yourself!! :) :)
It’s great that the girls were able to wrap up promotions for The Boys but it’s a bit worrisome for me that they are still too busy and active these days. It’s great that we’re still able to see them on TV but I worry for their health. Too much work might get them too exhausted… :(
Wow, Sunny’s really occupied with lots of activities these days. Lots of dramas for Sones to follow. Certainly a good watch for the break. Whatever SNSD does, Sones are always ready to support them. MC TaeNyHyun are awesome. Sunny hope you still get to rest. :) SNSD jjang!
Sunny’s incredible… she has such a good and positive attitude about everything, and she’s extremely gorgeous, her personality is sooooo good, nobody can not love her, nonetheless hate her. She’s very talented as well… she’s honestly inching closer and closer on to being my 2nd bias. (Sooyoung, has, is, and always be my bias).
wow sunny must be really tired right now
i fell bad for her
hwaiting sunny!!!
I hope Taeyeon will do a drama sometime soon. And hopefully Jessica can get a lead role in one. But if they just want to rest, they deserve to as well. Glad to see they are all keeping busy but leaving time to relax as well. They definitely deserve it considering how tired they looked during the end of their promotion for the Boys.
Girls, Hwaiting!!!!!!!!!
Especially Sunny (the busiest), HIMNAE!!!!
wah they are soo busy…and yet still have time to come to M’sia..
good luck snsd, and hwaiting~!!
Wow they sure are a lot more busier than I thought.
I can’t wait to watch the third hospital
Anyone know when it starts or comes out?
Glad Sunny is getting her moment to shine! Shes amazing in all factors :)
it’s nice to see them all do other things other than their normal routine, but it shouldn’t be so much that it’s really stressful D:
i hope they still get enough sleep and rest at these busy routines! :3
Girls, keep it up!
SONE is waiting for you.^^
*very excited for SOO!~’s drama*
I really like this recap of what the girls are currently doing.
The girls indeed have been very busy with a variety of
different individual activities. And there is only one place
where you can get it all at once, and in one article, and
that is Soshified!!! This is why these girls will preserve thru
the five year barrier. Soshified will not allow anything they
are doing to be forgotten!!! :-)
