Update from July 28th:
On July 28th, Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Sunny were in attendance at the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Cincinnati Reds baseball game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California to celebrate Korea Day. Before the festivities began, the girls posed for media photos, and Tiffany held a brief interview with the MC.
Taeyeon was up first, singing a beautiful version of the Korean national anthem. Afterwards, Tiffany gave a stunning performance of her rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner, the American national anthem, to the crowd. Sunny then came out to throw the ceremonial first pitch. Following Sunny’s fellow members Jessica and Tiffany’s infamous pitches, the pressure was definitely on to throw a better one.
After Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Sunny’s performances, the three members posed for pictures with Los Angeles’s Ryu Hyunjin and Cincinnati’s Choo Shinsoo, both of whom are Korean baseball players in the United States.

OMG !! another opening pitch ?.. i seriously hope anyone out of the trio won’t fail this time..even though it would funny by just picturing it..the two dandyus have never pitched before so maybe they have hidden skills.lol..i mean, the pitchers mound is over 50ft from the plate and i hope either of the two dandyus have a strong throwing arm then it will be good..i thought jessica will be chosen but oh well..whats done is done..im sure sm has a reason for choosing sunny and she is still part of the ot9 and as valuable as any member..but im kinda worried because somehow sunny is weak live and tiffany is either hit or miss and these two do not always deliver live..but they have improved through the years and its a good sign..on a positive note, im sure they will kill it cause they are representing south korea for this and its gonna be all over the news..
Fighting!!
good luck girls!!
Oh my goodness…I’m going to be in the mountains near LA TWO DAYS BEFORE THEY’RE THERE. Aish it makes me wanna cry…I live in the freaking same state where my bias, Sunny, is going to be showing up. I was excited and disappointed BEFORE I even learned my bias was going to show. I wanna cry T.T
Quoting this information, “as well as
throw out the ceremonial first
pitch”, I think it’s understandable why SM didn’t choose Jessica. No offense but we’re all well aware of the infamous pitch of Jessica’s, right.
Tiffany, I’m not saying she’s good but, she threw better than Jessica. Plus she’s a lead vocalist.
As for Sunny, we know that she, Hyo, and Yul are the best athletes in the group. Also she’s lead singer. I bet that’s why SM chose her. Even more so I highly believe she’ll be the one doing the ceremonial first pitch.
And I don’t know bout Taeyeon’s strength in sport, but she can and will definitely make up for that with her amazing vocal.
So people, please stop all the negative comments about Sunny got picked instead of Jessica and all that. Sunny’s part of the nine. She deserves as much love as the others do.
b-but JeTiSun… korean americans ftw~
Taeyeon, Tiffany ans Sunny… I was really hoping to see Jessica but I will still support!^^
I really want to go, but I don’t think I will be able to. =/ Sadly, I don’t have enough money to get really good seats (i.e. VIP seats or seats that are close to the pitcher’s mound) to see them sing. I’m also a bit surprised that they are singing the Korean National Anthem….I wonder who’s going to sing the United States National Anthem.
Wish i could go to see them!
i’m seating at the section 157 by the 3rd base area. if you want to buy good seats go check out http://www.ticketliquidator.com. is much cheaper than ticketmaster of stubhub. this is where i bought my tickets if want to see dodger game.
i mean cheaper than ticketmaster or stubhub
Thank you! I am interested in going. Will check the tickets.
Good luck, hope to see you there!
Hope they do good
I’m a little sad how some people aren’t liking the fact that Sunny was picked as the third member to sing. :( Even if she isn’t the 3rd best singer, she still has an amazing voice! I completely think that Sunny is one of the most underrated members but I’m glad that now she’ll be able to show her vocal talent!
Sunny hwaiting!
Agreed. They need to show off her talents more. Sunny will always be my number one bias, standing in front of EVERYONE else.
Is assumed that a Sone supports all the SNSD girls, even if its bias not present in the event, seems I’m wrong! It is so disappointing see how some Sones treat Sunny although it is also part of SNSD! I’m glad that SM has chosen her! Sunny fighting you are as important as Jessica, Taeyeon or Yoona, all nine girls are important! Remember: The Power of Nine!
huh? sunny? tbh, i am kind of disappointed about this grouping..i mean i dont hate sunny..but never expect her to be included in this trio..i was expecting tae+fany+sica or at least TTS.. and i was so sure about tae (well, she’s the main vocalist) and fany….so i thought sica will be the 3rd one since she’s the main lead vocalist (also one of the main vocalist). but..well, sunny do have great voice too..it’s just that i am just too shocked! my dream of having to see at least taengsic moment in this upcoming performance is totally doom. anyway, all the besst to TTSunny!!!! Soshi jjang!
Interesting they are singing the Korean national anthem at an American game, even if it’s is being held for Korean culture there. Not that I object to it, just find it interesting. I bet they will have both songs sung and these three are just doing the Korean one. That would make sense. Too bad they can’t sing both! Altho it wouldn’t really make sense for them to sing the American one since two aren’t Americans. It would be cool if Tiffany and Jessica sung the American anthem! Haha doubtful, but would still be cool. I know they will be great anyways. Also interesting that it’s Sunny instead of Seohyun when it involves Taeyeon and Tiffany. Not that I mind one bit! It’s good to see Sunny being able to do more things lately. :) I’m glad she just got an instagram too, she was the odd girl out for a while with the whole social networking thing lately. Go Sunny!! And Taeyeon and Tiffany too. :)
Sunny is American. she was born in California but her parents moved to Kuwait when she was little and then on to S.K.
TTS? TaeTiSun!
Taeyeon can pitch and Sunny can be the short stop! LOL!
I think Sunny is underrated as a singer and her voice is pretty magic sounding at times and might be a good fit with the Korean national anthem. Plus she is cute as a button!
Since there will be another ceremonial first pitching for SNSD, I hope Sunny does it this time. She’s supposed to be a ninja (LOL), so she hopefully also has pitching skills. :)
Taeyeon…Tiffany….Seohyun….a little way of promoting TTS as well…and their voices are perfectly well blended already. =)
TTS!!! I guess taeyeon and tiffany must be one of them since taeyeon is the best vocalist and tiffany went there once for the opening pitch, i hope it will be seohyun for the third member )))
Me too…that is also in my thoughts…and atleast TTS will have also some exposure…
Taeyeon for her powerful voice…Tiffany for being a well-rounded speaker…and Seohyun who would perfectly harmonized/blend the sound of the music…=)
Sounds like a TTS moment to me. As long as they’re not pitching, it should be fantastic.
Ohhhh I think they’re gonna do it. Three times I’m sure of it XD
hmm..i’m curious of what will be the crowd’s reaction..
but i have total and utmost faith in the girls and i think they’ll do just fine ..
just don’t mess up the lyrics and the notes..
i hope its gonna be TTJ
anyways , fighting !!
good luck girls!!
I’m super exciting for this news. It doesn’t matter who three will be there, I just know that the girls do great! Wish that I can be there but 2 weeks drive, that’s a long trip but it’ll worth it. #GirlsGeneration, #forever9, #Loveforever
I am super excited for this!
I doubt I will get tickets to go BUT I SO look forward to having this in my memory!
As for my guess on who it will be:
Tiffany and Jessica I think are a given. They ARE American and seem to be the unofficial US ambassadors for Soshi. They are also main vocalists. Then I think it’s a toss up between Seohyun and Taeyeon. Seohyun has amazing vocal skills as does Taeyeon and both seem to have really stepped up on their English. Both seem to have free schedules at the moment as well…
I think Sunny could be a choice as well but I’d toss my money more for a TaeTiSeo reunion or JeTiNy trio.
Three? That’s like saying it’s going to be TTS.
I think we will see Tiffany, Jessica and Sunny, because they are the three born in the US. But any three will be fantastic. So let’s dream about the possibilities. How about Yuri, SooYoung and Hyo? Or, how about, SeoHyun, TaeYeon and Tiffany? I don’t care if they flip draw straws or flip a coin, any combo will be awesome. I’ll be there. Anybody else going?
If there are only three of them then my choices would be Taeyeon, Tiffany and Jessica and I hope they do both anthems and they do a special arrangement like they did with the acapella intro to Into The New World at there recent concert in Seoul.

Hello~ anybody knows which sections sones will be siting? Thanks ^^
I’m wondering that too! However, seeing that the seats are running out, the only available seats still on sale would be the really far seats from the stadium, which is cheaper, but far away from the baseball field… Yaaaaay….
I got a tic from Stubhub for 70.40 it’s the third row in field box VIP 3. I hope there’ll be sones close to me. I’m nervous I never been to a baseball game n dun no the rules at all lol it’s all for SNSD, I also interested in the korean tourism event after the game…
Same question! Will there be block seats/sections where sones will sit? Are tickets running out really fast?
One of the moderators told me that sones would pick the Section 1RS (the purple section listed). I hope we can give them presents and/or get autographs from them! That’ll be amazing, just like the people that went there the last time…!
The 400-800?? o.0 lol or the prime ticket club 150-350?
Soy just tweeted they are working on the section, if things work out I’m gonna join soshified n resell my ticket, it’s better than sitting there by myself lol
@ririn1013 No, actually, SNSDave mentioned that they’d probably meet up at the one section that costs $35.
Ok, I hope we can find seats soon, so that I can actually get around to buying a ticket (as in the ones with a lot of people that are SONES)!!! -_-‘
