thanks for the soshi news wrap.. btw TaeNy are so gorgeous and beautiful when they attended the fashion show..
Yay, another news-filled week. I can’t wait for Shinyoung’s comeback on IY. Ahhh, IY will be funnier. Shinyoung always makes me crack up. Moving on to more snsd-related stuff: the girls are really checking out the social scene. Lots of appearances in fashion shows and store opening. Maybe, the owners or the people in charge requested that they appear. Anyway, hope they still get to rest.
I haven’t had the time to really read this weeks news wrap until now. So many pics of the girls! Sooyoung is stunning as always…she’s so perfect. :)
many events. they are become icon fashion and famous actor. love all of them so much.
Girls’ Generation jjang!!!!
Another great wrap up of the week that was for our girls! I always look forward to the weekly wrap up as I miss out on the other things the girls have been up to and this is a great way to keep on track about what’s been happening to them all in one go! So thanks for the great article! :D
SNSD is definitely more than just singers and dancers.
that mv from Fashion King was really cool to watch!
It was really cool to see, all in one spot, how the girls are using their “free” time to support other artists, fashion designers and more. I am really pleased to see them all doing their own things as well as group activities. It’s pretty cool!
I was a bit shocked to hear the Amber (and Woori) left Invincible Youth 2! Since I’m not wathcing the streaming episodes – unable to understand and unable to stay awake – I had no idea that they left! I had really grown attached to Amber at episode 3 so I am sad to know that she will no long be in episodes. I am glad though that Shinyoung will be returning as an MC to replace one of the MCs that also had to leave! I think this show is going to be a lot more interesting in the future with the return of the gag-dols! (sunny and Shinyoung!)
The Picture set was amazing!
The lotte ads were great -really showed off how versatile the girls can be! Playful, sexy, and cute!
Love the pics from Harpers Bazaar too! Really love the SeoFany image!
As always – a great read! Glad to see the girls doing their own things in this time where they are “preparing/relaxing”
I just installed GG browser theme at my firefox :D
Sooyoung is truly a fashionista!
You guys are absolutely ridiculous!!! I am never able to comment on any specific articles in my responses because, by the end of the news wrap up, I don’t remember what I wanted to comment on be abuse there was just too much other interesting news to distract me…this is the one thing I remember that I have to get…the GG-themed web browser stuff!!! Other than that…girls, just keep being you!!! :-)
Love yuri. So many good news about her is coming up ! Spazzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Especially love the banner the fans brought Yoona. Awesomely thoughtful.
