OH Hyoyeon
The concept of video seems so unique. Using video footage that was taken back in 2008 (which really does look like it was taken back then) and then putting it together with newly shot footage.
My mind is a little blown.
It looks seamless, the girls don’t look much different from now to back then. When I saw the 2008 part of the video it did reminded me of their “Gee” era, if it wasn’t for that then I probably would’ve thought it was all recorded in 2012.
Hyoyeon looks amazing, particularly in that first pic. And also that first picture reminds me of a magazine photo shoot that Hyoyeon and Seohyun did not too long ago.
Apparently the video footage and the recording was all done REALLY early, like around 2008, as the machine suggests(^^), and they look really young. The new concept looks awesome can’t wait
Soooo, I am the only one who is actually offended by Sunny’s hat?
It does not fit the girl’s image at all and I personally think it lacks class. And I think the Disney Corporation would have an issue with it as well, it appears it has Mickey Mouse on the bottom of the brim.
Go ahead and flame me if you will. That’s what I get for being one of the Sone clan elders I guess. The rest of the concept looks awesome, I just hope SME isn’t going too overboard to sell the girls as being all grown up by using profanity. I.E. – I hope they are not willing to sacrifice their sexy but wholesome image to sell records. It could only get worse with their US release. Here’s to hoping they have some common sense.
Strongly agree … Hope you are listening SM. Many of us SONE’s are fans because of who the girls are. Do not make them trashy, like so many artists..or you will lose some fans.
I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it because it goes by so fast.
I couldn’t agree more. Does she even know what that means? Give me a break. I’m so extremely disappointed by that trash.
One of the reasons I’ve liked GG is because they’ve been such a good role model.
Wow I can’t believe how really upset I am by that hat. Worn by my Sunny Bunny?! Argh!!!
Wow…just wow.
I really hope that was just a slip up and it’s not the direction they’re taking. If they are then I guess they’ll have to count me out.
I am really sad right now.
I have a feeling they knew exactly what the hat said, and if not then I am positive that Tiffany or Jessica would have said something to her and/or everyone else included in the project.
I’m not so okay with the hat, but at least it does have the * in the word instead of the entire word, not like that does much good anyways when you still know what it is. I think I’m more okay with Tiffany’s one word in Beep Beep, but that’s a minor word that isn’t harsh or as offending, in my opinion. Sunny’s hat is to far. And yes, Disney should be upset about it too, that’s against their entire concept and message, or whatever it’s called, as well.
The girl’s don’t have to lower their values to be more grown up or edgy. I think they very well should stay away from the profanity and trashy things. I think that’s part of why they are where they are today, number 1 girl group in Asia, bcuz they haven’t lowered themselves to the trashy side like so many other artists. People like the good girl image/personality even if they are “sexy/tough” in any concept.
So you aren’t alone! :)
I know that most people are not comfortable with this concept… And I’m actually worried about this concept as I know that antis will find more faults to bash them… I’ve already found some antis saying that they’re copying YG and some are even going overboard saying that they look slutty and all… *sigh*…and I was also taken aback with the “Welcome Motherf*cker” on Sunny-unnie’s hat and the leaked teaser pictures. I agree it doesn’t suit her image but at the same time I can’t seem to imagine other members to wear that hat besides her lol~
My point is… This concept may look overboard considering their image as the nation’s princesses and role model… but who knows maybe it will be a great change for both SoShi and SONE~
Besides all of us SMTowners know how SM is such a troll when it come to teasers. Just look at Shinee’s Shelock and SuJu’s Mr Simple teasers. Does the song or MV any similarites with those?
I’m sure that SM would not want SNSD’s image as “GIRLS” to be torn apart…
Just give “this” one a chance… Besides, I see that in the teaser Unnies seems to enjoy this concept~ I’m sure it’s not too sexy like how most people think it would be…
In my opinion it would be more like Badass,Chic and Hip-Hop!!!
I’m with you guys. This is “jumping the shark” territory and our girls don’t need to go there. I’m almost in shock. I’m looking at Seo too and going WTF?
I don’t know but I think all of you are over worried. Don’t jump into conclusion first until you heard all the songs in the album and watch all the MVs, except the songs that change from jpn to korean. I don’t feel like they are becoming trashy or whatever it is you said. Our girls and SME are just making a break through. This is a new concept and I am trying to believe and hoping that our girls will not try to gain popularity by becoming trashy and using profanity. IMO, it is to early to judge our girls and SME abt this new concept. I will be very disappointed too if the girls are becoming trashy but I choose to keep thinking positive and not to jump into conclusion immediately.
Abt sunny’s hat, I just realized it just now from you but I do believe everyone in the room, especially tiffany and jessica know really well what’s that means. If they choose to do that, I believe it’s the best for them. Why? Well, I do believe they are PRO in their job and they are planning to become better not worse. Everything happens for a reason guys and actually, everything happens for good reason but sometime, we try to believe it as a bad thing.
I have heard some ppl are bashing SNSD that they are copying YG just because our girls are doing HIP HOP. Well, I have read one good SONE fan account too. The people who said that SNSD are copying YG are the MOST STUPID ppl because that means every HIP HOP singers is copying the founder of HIP HOP in the first place.
First, it was not a slip up. Just look at Sunny as she pulls down the cap, ‘Like, I know I am about to start something now’.
Second, don’t worry they are not going to turn into trash or start producing trashy videos, but it does seem to say that we are not going to be in this squeeky clean bubblegum realm forever. But don’t get scared they won’t be doing a ‘For Adults Only’ concert ala B.E.G (Dec 24-25).
Finally it is safe to say that they will be our adoreale girls as always just a little more grown up.
Oh yes, give me more Bo Peep hip grinding dances SM! Hyo´s hair is absolutely randomly awesome!
OMG I loved dancing queen the song and MV!
And the teaser at the end is awesomeee!
I cant wait to see how the new concept will turn out!

ooh hurry up girls!
their images really funky and sexy. they really suitable with any images they had. hihihi.

I’m sooo excited haha wow I feel like this could become my fav. MV from them even tho. it’s like from 3 years ago lol (well there’s still I Got A Boy not released) but still! Love how SM deciced it’d be too much a waste to not share this gem with Sones =D it’s cool too, you don’t get to see a group releasing material from xxx ago everyday haha
Just read the English translation of the song. I am EXTREMELY EXCITED for SNSD’s new concept!!!
I really hope they break free from the whole cutesy image and SM takes more initiative with the girls because they’re great.
The fashion looks really cool too!
