SNSD Ate 'Pork Fat Tonkotsu Ramen'!

SNSD ate 'Pork fat tonkotsu ramen*'! The 9 beautiful legged group, who conquered Japan, surprisingly have 'a substantial meal' as their favorite food. ''This is dangerous'' '' Their legs are so nice''

In the lodgings of the Soccer Asian Cup, Kagawa and Nagatomo are chatting like this, as the video plays. The moment they saw pictures of SNSD they got excited. It seems that even the Japanese representatives got completely captivated by their opponent, the Korean idols.

The last friday night of January SNSD were staying in Japan. The girls went to a long-established ramen shop in the downtown area. Five of the members went to the ramen shop. Because it was crowded they couldn't sit together so 3 members sat at the counter.

On this day they appeared live on a music program. (MusicStation). During the program one of the members asked to recommend a good ramen shop. It seems that immediately after the show they went to eat it.The ramen shop the girls went to specializes in tonkotsu ramen, where the pork fat surfaces.

I think these are considerably high calories for the girls, whose attraction point are their fine and long beautiful legs... Because of this occasion how about for their next PV the 9 girls gather around the counter and line up with their beautiful legs?

* tonkotsu ramen is pork broth ramen

Drama rumor BUSTED!

There were news articles circulating around the entertainment industry suggesting SNSD will be starring in a drama adapted from a popular Japanese manga.

In reaction to this, SNSD’s management agency, SM Entertainment has dismissed the news as a rumor. From a telephone conversation with Money Today Star News on February 2nd, SM Entertainment said, “There is no plan to cast them in a drama“.

The representative added, “As SNSD will be focusing on domestic activities, there is no plan for them to star in drama“.

Possibility That Shoujo Jidai Might Have Their Own J-Drama?

Don’t get too excited just yet as rumours are just rumours, and SM have already released a statement clarifying the situation. Recently, rumours have started to arise that SNSD might soon be starring in their own Japanese drama; one based losely on a manga (Japanese comic) with each member starring as the main character in different episodes. The drama is said to be planned for airing in Japan in late 2011 and later in Korea.

On these rumours, an SM Official stated;

“We’ve gotten many calls about all nine members being main characters for a drama. We haven’t refused it, but we don’t have time to film dramas right now. We can’t take a large amount of time off of their schedules to do drama filming, so it’s not going to happen anytime soon.”

While it seems like a drama won’t be happening anytime soon for the girls, I sure hope they do get to act all together someday as their sunbaes DBSK, Super Junior, and their buddies Kara have had similar opportunities. And for those who have seen our girls in their drama/movie/sitcom roles or in Horror Movie Factory, you’d know that our girls are actually mighty decent actresses! 

…You know, if they DID have a Japanese drama, I’d prefer it not to be one of those typical high school popular kid ones…I think SNSD would fit well with a yakuza (Japanese mafia) drama.

The One "Taeyeon, Girls' Generation because she's young but is much beyond that..." (interview)

[Seoul Newspaper NTN Choi Jungjoo Reporter]'Singing Mentor' The One (Jung Soon Won)

Although there are countless singers including TVXQ and Fly to the Sky who became singers after taking his vocal lessons, 'Girls' Generation's Taeyeon,' from their first meeting, has been acknowledged as a 'different student.'

"I taught her before her debut, from 8th grade to 10th grade so I taught her for three years. Taeyeon as a kid? Besides the fact that her singing was outstanding, more importantly her thought was just different from others.


The One explained the difference as follows. While other fellow students came to him with a vague dream of 'becoming a celebrity,' Taeyeon had a clear goal of 'becoming a singer and sing to be on top.'

"Her thought was different in the first place. She was clever and definite. She set up her own standards in learning to sing and showed a clear conviction and desire."

The One gave his young student showing 'future potential' the opportunity to participate in an album for the first time in her life. That is the duet song from The One's 2nd Album, 'You bring me joy,' which was released in September,2004, even before Taeyeon debuted as a member of Girls' Generation.

"It was possible because I was sure that this kid will make it. Well, that she will some day.. I could have sung the duet with a famous and renowned female vocalist, but I wanted to recognize her potential.

The One and Taeyeon sang a duet song 7 years after their first one, showing off their special ties.

In The One's 4th regular album part 1. 'Walking on Heaven' that has been recently released, Taeyeon and The One, by singing a harmonious duet in '별처럼(like a star),' showed a 'beautiful potential,' charing #1 on every single chart(also called 올킬-all kill in Korean)

"What is more valuable than a #1 on charts is that she gave me joy as a teacher once again. As she did before, Taeyeon's attitude and passion towards singing has not changed at all. The willpower of a little kid, even with a hordeolum(kind of an eye infection) because she was so tired, saying '선생님(means teacher), I can do better! I'll do it again better.' It's incredible.

She was probably appointed as a leader of the top girl group Girls' Generation for her enthusiasm, however, The One himself said he 'didn't know that Taeyeon was that Taeyeon(?).' when he saw her on TV, laughing.

"One day I turned on the TV saying 'So what's this Girls' Generation..' and I saw someone like Taeyeon. haha. I was surprised and when I called, she had officially debuted as a lead singer in Girls' Generation. I was so proud of her. I knew she would make it."

Taeyeon did not forget her thanks to her mentor as well. Along with her parents who came all the way from her hometown Jeonju, they had dinner together, and The One gave a couple advice to his student, and told her about future directions.

When asked if his student who became 'the most popular star' had changed, The One shook his head, smiling.

"If something's different, then it would be that her subjectivity has become more clear. While she did before, she became clearer in saying whether she liked something or not. She's a singer who has a passion in singing, not an idol who's easily carried away.'

Would it be a mentor's greed. Taeyeon, from The One's perspective, left a few regrets.


"She's doing idol because she's young. I believe that she can show much beyond that. For genre, rather than dance, ballad that can show her singing skills suits her better. Of course looking at her expanding her own area by releasing her solo songs and working as a DJ, I believe that the stronghold(아성 - i don't know what this is T.T) for the name Taeyeon can grow higher.

The One described this moment in which he can stand on the same stage as his students as 'a gift from heaven and a bliss.'

"Teaching how to sing is like running a marathon. I learned 'how to sing' because I ran a little earlier, and I'm just teaching them. It's not a knowledge but I'm just teaching them the methodology. Not fish but ways to catch the fish."

It's a race that has yet to show its end. The One, as a singer, and a mentor.. is running on the given track with his own pace.

"I will continue to run by myself. While continuing to run and walk, I probably will meet my students running beside me and they might pass me by as well. Then I would tell them. When I went up that hill they had something like this..Isn't it great. Running a marathon together."

#SNSDtoMY topped Twitter’s worldwide trending topic list

Not sure what #SNSDtoMY means? It simply means ‘SNSD to Malaysia‘ and the hashtag went on to top Twitter’s world wide trending topic list, just 30 minutes after the first SONESEA ‘Trending The SEA‘ project kicked off at January 29h, 12am KST!

It was a success not only for Malaysian SONEs, but also South East Asia and all the SONEs in the world. It has been proven once again that Kpop is dominating the world stage and SNSD’s popularity have increased tremendously in the past couple of years. Malaysian SONEs have been dreaming of seeing the girls live in person for almost 4 years and it is time to have their voices heard. That effort was being channeled and echoed to the rest of the world through SONESEA, the South East Asia SNSD Fan Union‘s project ‘Trending The Sea‘ which started on January 29th at 12am KST. #SNSDtoMY being the first-leg of the project. For two months, there will be trending projects for the rest of the countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines, etc where fans in the countries in this region are very ‘hungry’ and ‘determined’ to go all out just to catch a glimpse of the girl.

As mentioned earlier, the victory belonged to all SONEs in the world. Due to the passion and love for the girls, SONEs joined hands and helped out one another to make their dreams come true. Like Tiffany said, strong chemistry and team work is the strength and key to a firm foundation of a group. Indeed this also applies to SONEs. Fans have been standing side by side supporting and loving the girls for almost 4 years now and #SNSDtoMy’s success on Twitter along with other successful activities such as Soshified’s meet-ups, NorCal SONEs flashmob, etc are the indication of how united SONEs are.

As there will be more trending projects coming up, it will be awesome to see #SNSDtoTH, #SNSDtoINA, #SNSDtoVN, #SNSDtoSG, #SNSDtoPH, etc taking the no.1 worldwide trending topic spot as well. Let’s turn those wishes into realities, SONEs.

Hopefully, these efforts will be translated into the realization of dreams for the SONEs in South East Asia.
