Original article from August 22nd, 2014:
On August 21st and 22nd, Hyoyeon and Sooyoung uploaded videos to Instagram showing their participation in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. The Ice Bucket Challenge is a campaign meant to raise awareness and donations for ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spine. As the neurons are destroyed, individuals with ALS suffer paralysis and lose their ability to move and speak.
The Ice Bucket Challenge involves a person pouring a bucket of ice water over his or her own head and challenging three others to do the same or donate to fight ALS. The ice water is meant to symbolize the effect of being “frozen”, or paralyzed. Since it started, stars around the world have participated in the challenge, which eventually led to miss A’s Min challenging Hyoyeon and actor Yang Donggeun challenging Sooyoung. Sooyoung posted several videos on August 21st explaining how to donate and mentioned Park Seungil, a basketball player with ALS who she has been visiting for many years with the other members of Girls’ Generation. Hyoyeon posted her videos on August 22nd. After completing the challenge themselves, Hyoyeon nominated actor Chun Jung-myung, SHINee’s Jonghyun, and SM Entertainment founder Lee Sooman, and Sooyoung nominated actors Daniel Henney and Lee Jonghyuk (her co-star in “Dating Agency; Cyrano”), and actress Shin Sekyung.

Soshi jjang as always. AS EXPECTED!
oh Taengoo we’re waiting on you babyface to get WET.
will JeTiSeo ever get nominated, especially Sica? i wanna see how the Ice Princess will react to her element.
anyway it’s lovely to see our girls doing the challenge and teaching peeps the meaning behind it.
THEY ARE GORGEOUS ♥_♥
The point of the thing is to raise money not to dump ice water. These 2 celebs managed to do it right:

Yuri’s reaction at the end! hahahahah so cuteee! When I first saw Hyo on instagram doing it, I was so shocked because it was like 5 or 6 buckets? Hahaha Amber looks really happy pouring it on Hyo, cute friendship! :D
i hope the rest of Snsd do the ALS challenge
As of right now, I’m wondering if TaeTiSeo might do it on their new show and how much pressure we need to apply for Jessica to do it too. Maybe with her sister? X3
Yeahh ~♥
And Yoona has done it too. :)
But I don’t think Taeyeon is doing it. Just making donations only.
really proud of the girls, when will taeyeon and yoona do the ice bucket challenge? I thought they have been nominated
I really want to see “ice princess” do ice challenge :)
god sooyoung looks amazing with that level of make-up on (whether its little to none).
Sunny did it too right?
You need to also add Sunny. She also did it in an unlisted SMTOWN video!!
