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!!!
