Tae Yeon and Tiffany's plastic surgery rumors

Girls Generation MV. I find Tae Yeon really cute in this MV.

In recent news, kid leader Tae Yeon and Tiffany have been both under fire due to the comparison of pictures during their early days in Girls Generation to more recent ones. Some people noticed difference in their facial features that may actually seem to be done through plastic surgery.

In my opinion though, it doesn't really matter that much to me if they did but of course, it would have been great if they were all natural. But I think that since they are just around their late teens and 20s, they grew and it is possible that the changes were just normal aging from a teen to a young adult.

Nevertheless, they all look pretty and just plain cute and charming. That's one of the major sources of their charisma packed with their attitude and stage presence. Well, I haven't heard any one of them admit to plastic surgery and no one has solid proof beyond reasonable doubt that they indeed had surgery. Let's move on. SNSD fighting!

Check out the article below for more info. Thanks.

Girls Generation wins KBS Music Bank mid-year music chart

Girls Generation's Music Bank performance

On June 25, 2010, Girls Generation or SNSD (소녀시대) won KBS Music Bank's mid year music chart with Oh! It's really a great recognition for the girls as they dominated the K-pop industry since the beginning of 2010 with Oh! followed by Run Devil Run which was really successful as well. There was a bit of an issue with Tae Yeon and I personally noticed her unusually sad expressions while performing Oh! of all songs. As stated in UR's facebook page, it's a misunderstanding between her and Music Bank.

As most of you knew, SNSD dominated 2009 with their top hits Gee and Genie and there were only a few that came at a distant close. Now, in mid-2010, SNSD dominates completely as they beat 2AM by a convincing margin. For now, the girls do not have any announced promotion for any particular song or album as they are quite busy in preparing for their tour. Hopefully, they'll bag the song of the year again by the end of 2010. We're now towards the latter half of the year so let's wish for continued success for the girls!! SNSD! 파이팅!!!

More photos of Girls Generation revealed

We really can't contest the fact that pretty girls look a lot more cuter when they're having fun by themselves especially from idol groups. As mentioned in an article at allkpop, the SNSD girls have been taking pictures of themselves. They are just too adorable and I really can't compare them to most of the other girl groups. I see Ceci which I'm pretty sure I've encountered before. Was it a magazine? Well, anyway, I'm glad to see more of the girls. Take a look at the pictures themselves on the article below. SNSD Fighting!!

Tiffany is receiving treatment for her throat

Tiffany, from a previous performance.

Recently, Tiffany has been having some problems with her throat as stated in allkpop. It's good to know that it's not that serious and she's most likely have full recovery. Can't wait to see her again and Yuri in MBC's Music Core. As with most fans, I wish they all have good health.

Hyo Yeon in KBS Let's Go Dream Team Season 2 Episode 32 6/6/2010

A couple of screenshots from the show. HyoYeon after clearing the bar and with SeoHyun.

Hyo Yeon competes again in KBS Let's Go Dream Team. This time, she is paired up with After School's Jung A. They are pitted against another powerful couple which comprises of Kara's Nicole and of course, f(x)'s Krystal who usually dominates in physical competitions among the lady idol group members.

This time around, they are competing on a high bar jump with the help of a spring board. They were trained by athletes and was given pointers on how to jump over very high bars. These 4 ladies are among the best there is among those that I've seen who participated in Let's Go Dream Team.

Going back to Hyo Yeon, she was cheered on by none other than our Maknae, Seo Hyun. She even sang a few lines from Run Devil Run. In any case, Hyo Yeon did great. She was able to clear 1.70 meters but she wasn't able to make it at 1.80 meters. But nevertheless, our Dancing Queen is still among the best in physical challenges. I remember her win in a previous episode of Let's Go Dream team where she had to run for a flag and she won decisively.

I want to see more of our girls compete in Let's Go Dream team. So far, it's only been Hyo Yeon, Jessica, Tiffany and Sunny. Just tell me if I forgot any one else from SNSD who competed. SNSD fighting!

SNSD Star Card Sale

One of my old SNSD pics. Red Soshi looks pretty good.

On Friday, June 11, 2010, the SNSD Star Collection Card Season 2 will be on pre-sale through GMarket and Auction. This is good news for the fans as this will be another invaluable addition to current SNSD collections. There are a couple of really good additions to this release. Some of the fans can acquire the Season 1 collection for free if they get to be first in line. There are quite a number of designs that you can get from this collection from common to really rare ones. Hopefully, I'll get my hands on one of these. SNSD fighting!

Yuri and Sunny's final Invincible Youth episode will air next week

As most of you fans know, Yuri and Sunny, along with 4Minute's Hyunah, will be leaving Invincible Youth. They filmed this particular episode days ago and it will air next week. Invincible Youth is probably the most successful variety show for Girls Generation with Yuri and Sunny. This will be a very sad moment for everyone and so am I.

I have watched the show religiously from the beginning and I'm pretty sure that the show will never be the same again. After around 8 months since they started around October, they have been very close to each other and it is evident in the video that it's hard for them to do leave. It will probably take a long time before most of the Invincible Youth fans get over the absence of the original 3 members but I'm sure, whoever fills in their shoes will do their best.

So there you have it. I will definitely watch that final episode and I'm confident that sometime in the future, they will show up again as guests for Invincible Youth. Yuri, Sunny, Hyunah, Iy! fighting!!!

SNSD's Lalala song to encourage voters

Here's a video from one of the girl's variety show appearances where they performed their Lalala song. This was their 'promotion' song to show thier support in the elections that was held a few days ago. It was to encourage everyone to vote. :)

Yoona celebrates her 21st birthday

Last May 30th, Yoona celebrated her 21st birthday in the SM building along with a few fans, SNSD members and the rest of the staff. Well, I just wish her the best and more success in the future individually and as part of Girls Generation.

Girls Generation performs at the Dream Concert

Screen cap from their Run Devil Run Performance

Today, May 30th 2010, the Dream Concert was aired in SBS and viewers were able to watch the spectacular concert that almost everyone is waiting for. This is sort of a milestone since it represents the whole k-pop music culture as different performers gather up for the fans while trying to set aside competition and just providing excellent performance for all.

Girls Generation / SNSD is definitely among the most anticipated performers and they did not falter on the fans' expectations and performed their songs Oh! and Run Devil Run. They're probably the best female idol group in South Korea and has always delivered.

Now, we're looking forward to Girls Generation's international promotions which should start around Asia. Oh, and have you seen Yuri doing Run Devil Run choreography during her part in Oh!? :D SNSD fighting!!

Girls Generation tops Asian music charts along with Super Junior

One of their Him Nae performances
from SBS Inkigayo

As stated in Universal Records Philippines Official Facebook page, Girls Generation and Super Junior tops Asian charts especially in the Philippines and Thailand. Here in the Philippines, it's no surprise. Girls Generation's music videos have been consistent in music channel countdowns especially in MYX Philippines where Genie, Oh! and Run Devil Run remained in the top spots for weeks and months. And most importantly, it's reflected in their massive album sales in the country.

The launching of locally released Girls Generation albums in the Philippines have been successful and it showed that there is a strong SNSD fan base here in the Philippines. The most recent one was the official Philippine launch of Run Devil Run repackaged album and it was a hit. Fans waited for hours (even before the malls opened) just to be able to buy the new album.

In any case, this is a strong indication that the girls can really attract not only South Korean fans but all throughout Asia and the rest of the world. For Filipino fans, it's a strong indication that Girls Generation may indeed promote here to further establish their stature as the one of the most loved South Korean girl group in the Philippines. Let's keep our hopes up but don't expect anything. Congratulations to Girls Generation and of course, their colleague Super Junior.

On the May 29 Episode of We Got Married where Girls Generation's Maknae SeoHyun and CN Blue's Yonghwa donated blood. It was a really nice gesture as it can really help save lives. It's part of their 22nd day anniversary in the show. It's good that their awkwardness towards each other is almost gone or just left to a minimum. There's more in store for us fans in the future episodes.

Girls Generation encourages voters for South Korean elections

Screenshot from Run Devil Run (Bugs version)

In a news, SNSD and MBC promotes voting for the upcoming South Korean elections. This is quite interesting as SNSD will surely make it colorful and lively since they are considered South Korea's National Girl Group. As mentioned in the news article and in the lyrics of the song "La La La" they will promote the power of the people to vote and make a change. SNSD fighting! :)

Yuri and Tiffany are temporarily leaving MBC Music Core

As stated from allkpop, MBC Music Core regular MCs Yuri and Tiffany of Girls Generation will be temporarily leaving the show. It doesn't seem to be permanent and they'll probably be back after their major projects especially their promotions. As most of you know, especially the fans, SNSD will have their international promotions which will tour around Asia. They've already been to Shanghai and they have other specific destinations such as Thailand and probably Japan. Who knows where else they will promote. Hopefully they'll visit more countries in Asia and take on the world.

In any case, that's good news for the fans! I really love their tandem when they MC Music Core. They're witty and funny. :) I wonder who their temporary replacement are? Hopefully they'd be able to fill in Yuri and Tiffany's shoes well until they return. We'll see them again soon! Good luck in their promotions.

Family Outing 2 viewer rating went up because of Girls Generation / SNSD

As stated in one of the Girls Generation fan pages, SNSD / Girls Generation managed to pull up the ratings of the Korean variety show Family Outing where Yoona is also a regular cast. As reported, the latest episode that aired garnered a 12.5% rating compared to the preceeding episode's very low rating of 2.2%

Well, that's quite impressive and it somehow shows how popular the girls are especially when they are together. Well, lately, a lot of the girls left their variety shows such as Yuri, Sunny and Jessica but I'm pretty sure more projects will come soon. In any case, wherever they go, it's almost always evident that the fans and the people love them as South Korea's girl group.

Girls Generation Postpones their concert in Bangkok

As we all know, the situation in Bangkok,Thailand has been quite serious and the violence between the 2 sides have resulted in multiple deaths. Due to this circumstance, as stated in allkpop, SNSD/Girls Generation will postpone their concert in Bangkok for the meantime. This is for the safety of the Girls, their staff as well as the fans.

Well, I'm pretty sure things will be better for Thailand but when that will happen, we don't know. Hopefully, everything will be settled and the violence will stop. Then, SNSD will be able to perform for their Thai fans. SNSD fighting!

Sunny and Yuri are leaving Invincible Youth

Screenshot from Invincible Youth Ep. 26 - subbed by: SoshiSubs

After Tae Yeon leaving Chin Chin Radio, here's another big news. Sunny and Yuri are leaving Invincible Youth. I've watched every single episode from the beginning and the G7 members and the MCs have already established good camaraderie with each other. It's too bad, but they have to leave the show in order to do their promotions overseas.

I really love this show and I'm pretty sure things will be extremely different in IY now that Yuri and Sunny, who are among the original G7 members, are leaving. Oh, and just a note. Even 4Minute's Hyunah will be leaving too. This is a major turning point for Invincible Youth. As a fan of the show, I'll most likely watch it still. Who knows? They might become guests again soon. Yuri, Sunny, SNSD fighting!

Hyo Yeon and Yuri on SBS Strong Heart May 18, 2010

Last Tuesday, May 18, 2010, Girls Generation's Yuri and HyoYeon appeared as guests on SBS Strong Heart. It was quite an interesting show with a couple of other cool guests such as Park Soojin who is so cute by the way.

Hyoyeon gave a couple of hints on who her crush is. She didn't say directly who they were but she gave off clues on who it was. As for Yuri, she performed a bit of her great acting matching the likes of Park Sujin and Kim Taehyun. If I'm correct, she said first. "Hello, I'm SNSD's Yuri. Nice to meet you!" then she changed her mood instantly and said "Ahh.... What schedules do I have today? Hodong, straighten up." She was hilarious.

Yuri and Hyoyeon also danced to Run Devil Run with the special participation of Juri (a comedienne). There was also a part where they showed small talents while a DJ plays a song. Yuri imitated Shin Sekyoung's pose. Hyo yeon actually imitated Juri's dance. She's so flexible. It was a really good episode. Well, that's it for now. We'll most likely see the rest of SNSD in other shows.

Tiffany and Sunny on 1000 Songs Challenge

(Picture of Tiffany from SBS 1000 Songs Challenge 5/16/2010)


Last May 16, 2010, SBS 1000 Songs Challenge featured different personalities and among them are our very own Tiffany and Sunny. I am still a beginner-level Korean speaker so it has been tough trying to figure out what's going on completely. But then, they actually won. They have to get the lyrics correctly by singing along and luckily, the last song they got was 4 Minute's Hot Issue. They made some mistakes on 2NE1's fire though. It's nice to see the girls participate in various variety shows.

Black Soshi Day in Manila on May 22, 2010

(My Run Devil Run repackaged album from Yesasia.com)

On May 22, 2010, Universal Records Philippines will officially launch Girls Generation's Run Devil Run repackage album. They will hold an event called the Black Soshi day when fans can converge in 3 places : Astroplus in SM North Edsa, Music One in Greenbelt and Odyssey in SM Megamall.

In this event, the fans can buy a CD combo to get the following benefits: all 9 members' Run Devil Run posters, a thank you card, and more. Fans were reacting a bit, and with good reason, since most of them are forced to buy another album that they already probably have. As for me, I completed my collection by buying online.

Well, the previous event, Oh! it's Girls Generation was a success and I'm pretty sure Black Soshi day will be successful as well. I'd just stay at home for the time being since I have work the day before and after. Soshi fighting!!!

Kim Yu-Na danced to SNSD's Run Devil Run on 2010 KCC Switzen Festa on Ice

Last April 18, 2010, South Korean figure skater Kim Yu-Na (who won the 2010 Winter Olympics Gold medal) danced to SNSD's Run Devil Run (RDR). I just wanted to share this just in case you haven't watched it yet. It was a spectacular performance of RDR.

The choreography is just awesome, I actually had goosebumps when I watched it for the first time. I am also familiar with Kim Yu-Na though so it's a great sight to watch her dance along to an SNSD song. Hope they could collaborate or at least get together.

To watch the video, click below. Enjoy!

(100430) Girls Generation says goodbye with Run Devil Run on Music Bank

Today, April 30, 2010, KBS' Music Bank resumed it's operation after a long break due to the South Korean ship tragedy. Many of the other artists and performers came back on the show and of course, among them are the much anticipated performance of SNSD. This time however, it's their goodbye stage for Run Devil Run. They did perform Oh! as well however, this will be the last promotional performance of the girls (this is what goodbye stage means). A lot are sad to say goodbye but we'll definitely continue to see them.

Well, I guess they're now starting to fully prepare for their international promotions. We will continue to see the girls on other TV shows such as variety shows (Invincible Youth - Yuri/Sunny, We Got Married - Seohyun) and other activities such as Taeyeon with her musical. I wonder where else they would go for their international concerts/promotions? Hopefully here in the Philippines. :D

Well, they'll probably won't go into production of a new album, single or mini-album but when that time comes, we will see them again perform constantly on South Korea's music shows. For now, goodbye RDR!

Seohyun (서현)

Name : Seo Chuhyeon (서주현)
Date of Birth : June 28, 1991 (18 {20 in Korean age})
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seohyun

Seohyun is the maknae (막내 pronounced "mangnae") or the youngest member of SNSD. When it comes to talent, she definitely isn't a pushover. Among the members of SNSD, she probably has the most angelic voice. I always feel calm when I hear her sing solo parts. She is also a very good pianist and I remember her doing a rendition of Gee in one of their performance. She's better than me at it.

She has the most unique personality among the members of SNSD. She is the most innocent and always sensible in what she says. She's a girl living with principles. She eats healthy foods, she takes care of herself more than most people do, and it very tactful in everything she says. She is usually calm and everyone gets surprised when she speaks. I remember Seohyun during their appearance in Intimate Note.

Currently, she is with CN Blue's Yonghwa in the variety show We Got Married where they simulate married life. Well, it really shows how innocent our maknae is. I'm actually anticipating what will happen in the next episodes. She also appears in some other variety shows together with the other members of SNSD.

Im Yoona (임윤아)

Name : Im Yoona (임윤아)
Date of Birth : May 30, 1990 (19 {21 in Korean age})
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Im_Yoona

Yoona is most likely the most liked member of SNSD because of her looks. She is also among the tallest members and is tagged as the image of SNSD. I remember an episode of Miraculous Victory and Defeat where she and Tiffany exchanged questions and Fany asked her why she cuts through the other members while performing. Well, Yoona's answer was because she is pretty (which she has to answer by the way because of the rules of the game). In my opinion though, she usually is the most recognizable since she stays in the center a lot of times. It's no surprise that a lot of guys like here (so am I).

Yoona was a very busy SNSD member especially last year due to the fact that she had her own drama series. The most famous of which are You are my Destiny and Cinderella Man. A lot of critics said that she didn't have much acting skills in the beginning but as time passed by, she seemed to get a hang of it and actually got better. She won several awards for her acting.

Currently, she is a permanent member of Family Outing 2 which is a famous variety show where they go to a house and do chores for the owners. Also, she probably has the most commercials or advertisements among the members of SNSD.

Choi Sooyoung (최수영)

Name : Choi Sooyoung (최수영)
Date of Birth : February 10, 1990 (20 {21 in Korean age})
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sooyoung

Soo Young is the tallest member of SNSD and even if she is among the youngest in the group, she has a really strong attitude. In my opinion though, she might be so because of her height. But in any case, she is probably the best speaker in the group in terms of being appropriate. It's as if she's thinking clearly and exactly what she has to say. It makes her really popular in variety shows.

She has experience in the DJ business and has been an MC for a children's show. She's good at both singing and dancing and seems to have a wide variety of skills. She often portrays sexy roles because of her figure (especially her long lengs) and does good at it.

She also seems to have an upbeat personality but at the same time easily adapts to different situations like serious talks with the rest of the girls (their 5-minute talk). She is also good at cracking jokes even while they're not at work as mentioned by Kim Shinyoung in KBS Win Win. Oh, and she can also speak Japanese.

Kwon Yuri (권유리)

Name : Kwon Yuri (권유리)
Date of Birth : December 5, 1989 (20 {22 in Korean age})
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_%28Korean_entertainer%29

Yuri is probably among the most famous members of the group. She has a very pretty face and to those who have seen her without make-up (yep, I did), she's actually more stunning. She is a co-MC of MBC's Music Core along with Tiffany and a regular member (G7) of KBS' Invincible Youth.

She probably has the best variety show skills among the members of SNSD. She simply shines in almost all of the shows she's been in to. She also has a reputation of making mistakes during performances. She's also been picked on by a lot of people but as vibrant as she is, she's really good at handling them. In various situations, especially when she's on variety shows with other girl groups/celebrities, she is often chosen as the ideal girl of many. Oh, that smile line! :D Well, she is my ideal type as well. Too bad, it seems Kim Taewoo is wooing her. And I am no match for that bear (in some aspects!)

As stated in allkpop, she was diagnosed with H1N1 recently as skipped some performances and variety shows. But we're all glad she's ok now. She has resumed all activities. I can't wait to see her again in IY and other variety shows.

Kim Hyoyeon (김효연)

Name : Kim Hyoyeon (김효연)
Date of Birth : September 22, 1989 (20 {22 in Korean age})
Source: http://people.nate.com/people/info/hy/oy/hyoyeon_sm/

Most people would agree that she is the best dancer among the 9-member SNSD. She is very flexible when it comes to different types of songs. I did remember watching a variety show when she was asked how she felt doing the dance moves of their earlier songs. As someone who trained how to dance (since she was in a kid), it seemed that she did not like dancing cute like that of Kissing You where they had to dance with lollipops. But she is most likely enjoying her stay in SNSD since they are venturing into new concepts.

She has some sort of a strong personality in the sense that she can be quite blunt at times but with utmost conviction. It happens during interviews especially when someone asks sensitive questions. But also, she can make everyone laugh at nicely timed comments. I kinda like her attitude though.

Lately, she's been in more variety shows and I'm really excited seeing her on TV. Oh and she has a reputation of being the most athletic among the 9 girls. I was really impressed when she was in Let's Go Dream Team Girl Group Special. Too bad, she was beaten by Krystal (from f(x) and Jessica's younger sister). There you have it. SNSD's dancing queen.

Tiffany (티파니)

Birth Name : Stephanie Hwang
Date of Birth : August 1, 1989 (20 {22 in Korean age})
Source: http://people.nate.com/people/info/st/ep/stephaniehwang/

Tiffany or Fany came from the US and she is very fluent in English (along with Jessica). She is an MC of MBC's Music Core along with Yuri and she also appears on various variety shows along with some or all of the girls.

She also has a reputation of being unable to express her emotions well especially when it comes to babies. This was evident from the variety show Hello Baby! But on the contrary, she does seem to express herself a lot during talk shows. But she shined well during the variety show Factory Girl when they worked for the fashion industry as Elle girls. She is very much into fashion especially western style since she did come from the United States.

Among the 9 girls, she is the one I'm most curious about when it comes to attitude. Hopefully, I can meet with her. :)

Sunny (써니)

Birth Name : Lee Soon-kyu (이순규)(Soongyu with respect to Korean pronunciation)
Date of Birth : May 15, 1989 (20 {22 in Korean age})
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunny_%28Korean_entertainer%29

As most would agree, Sunny probably has the most aegyo (the cutest) especially when she makes faces and utters cute words. She is actualy Lee Sooman's niece who is the top man in SM Entertainment (hence, SM for Soo-man. That's my guess though) which is Girls Generation's agency.

She is MTV The M's MC and is also currently with Yuri in KBS's variety show Invincible Youth (청출불패) or IY. Despite her cuteness and aegyo (that calls for a punch), she has a reputation of killing bugs, catching chickens and doing almost any farm work because of IY. Well, she is a strong girl based from what I see but she can easily burst into tears since she seems quite emotional.

She's been very busy along with the other members of SNSD due to their international promotions and concerts but she'll stay on IY probably for a long time with Yuri.

She does seem awkward on some variety shows though and she has that potential to be a very good actress. She is actually my ideal type (as a partner.. ahem...) and who I think would be a good housewife (ahem again...) and of course, she sure is pretty.

Jessica or Sica (as most fans would call her as well as ice princess) is one of the groups best singers. She often has good solo parts in most of their songs such as in Genie. She was also part of the musical Legally Blonde (same as the movie in which Reese Witherspoon starred in) and played the lead part however the musical has already ended.

She has a nice figure and from what I have seen last year in SBS Star King, her waist line is at 23 inches and hips at 33 which is the venus figure (no wonder...) and I'm pretty sure she has kept it until now.

I also like it when Sica laughs. She seems really sophisticated but wait till you hear her scream. If you're curious as to what a cute, loud and annoying screem would sound like, you should hear her. The first time I heard her scream was at SNSD's Horror Movie Factory back in 2009. I'm pretty sure the rest of the people in the show was telling the truth when thay said that their eardrums were about to burst. But again, she's so cute.

As of now, she's been busy with the rest of the girls in their international promotions and Sica will probably go to a few variety shows. She never ceases to attract attention anywhere she goes. I kinda like her personality as well. She's straight to the point when she talks.

Kim Taeyeon or simply Taeyeon or Taenggo, is Girls Generation's leader. She is the eldest among the 9 members and is probably the busiest one too. Along with her members, and sometimes alone, she appears on different variety shows and co-hosts even some of them such as KBS Win Win.

I've known Taeyeon as someone who's timid and strong based from what I see in her appearances on those variety shows. I remember Horror Movie Factory back in 2009 when she was tagged as among those aren't easily scared. She is timid but she can handle things.

Taeyeon is very talented. She can sing, dance, act, etc. She has the reputation of having the most powerful voice of SNSD. I for one can attest that among their songs, when she does her solo parts, you can easily hear her voice overpower the group.

She has been a radio DJ for MBC's Chinhan Chingu (친한 친구 which literally means best/intimate friend) Radio for 2 years and just stood down as its DJ last Sunday, April 25, 2010. Well, I listed to her show lots of times through MBC's own player and few times with live video. She's cute and she is a very talented DJ. As for someone who is not fluent yet in Korean, I find it hard to understand the appreciate most of the show but it's all good.

She is now getting ready for her own musical, following Jessica's steps, and her international activities. They have an Asian Tour and hopefully (fingers crossed!) they would visit us here in the Philippines. There you have it, SNSD's kid leader!

Girls Generation (SNSD/소녀시대) Music CD album collection

Here's a picture of my current SNSD official album collection from Into the New World to Run Devil Run. I started buying their CDs when I became a fan back in mid-2009 and told myself that I'd be collecting their music CDs from then on.

This was as of April 26, 2010 when I finally got my RDR album shipped. :D I bought Genie and Oh! here in Manila and the rest I ordered from Yesasia. :) They're pretty good. Lots of pictures inside the CD jackets and cases however, the lyrics of the songs are quite small.

Aaron's Girls Generation World

Hi guys! Aaron here. Welcome to my new Girls Generation (SNSD) blog. Well, I decided to create my own blog with the intention of providing news, sharing experiences/opinions and information about almost anything related to SNSD. I also plan to make it a sort of compendium of my own SNSD experience. Hopefully soon, I can make it big enough so you can share your own experience. These 9 girls really are a charm aren't they?

Just a reminder, you'd most likely see some posts or parts of posts that are in Korean. I'd probably add a short category for the Korean language so it could help. I'm still learning Korean as well and I'm currently trying to improve in my grammar and expand my vocabulary.

Well, this is the beginning and I'm hoping that we could all share in the same passion that is Girls Generation. Visit often! (또 방문하십시요!)
