Sandara Park can’t recognize herself?




2NE1’s Sandara Park recently made her presence felt on the streets of Myungdong. On the 16th, Sandara posted a picture of herself wandering the streets of Myungdong during a beautiful weekend morning via her me2day.

Before heading out to Myungdong, she wrote, “It’s the weekend and the weather is good so I want to go out.” She continued, “I also want to go makeup shopping.”


Sandara then visited a Etude House shop that she models for and said, “I came to shop for makeup and there is a girl who looks like me. Hey, you are pretty good looking,” causing fans to laugh over Dara bragging about her looks.


Finally, she said, “I went to Myungdong and there are so many people. People say that I look like someone a lot but would just leave it at that. I should just go around comfortably from now on.”


Netizens who viewed Sandara’s pictures responded with, “Just looking at that picture it’s Sandara Park” and “I want to see Sandara Park at Myungdong too.”

She’s just too cute! Bonus news: Happy 1 year anniversary to 2NE1 as they made their debut last year on this date with Fire! Fans are trying to trend #2NAA1 on twitter to celebrate.

SNSD’s Seohyun ranked #1 for best natural beauty


SNSD’s maknae Seohyun was recently picked as the best natural beauty out of girl group members.

According to a poll that was conducted by a cosmetics surgery hospital in Seoul, results showed that out of the 781 netizens who participated, 348 (44.5%) voted for Seohyun as the “girl group member who shows the best natural beauty”.

A representative of the cosmetic surgery hospital explained, “First place taker SNSD’s Seohyun has a friendly face. Her natural beauty results from her confidence and ability to showcase her strong points.”

Other girl group members who ranked in the top three were KARA’s Han Seung Yeon (210 votes, 28%), and 2NE1’s Sandara Park (189 votes, 24.1%).

SNSD for ‘Marie Claire’













The nine members of SNSD exhibited nine different charms for the May edition of ‘Marie Claire.

In this special edition, each SNSD member will have their own cover.

A representative expressed, “Every fan will be able to buy a magazine with their favorite SNSD member on the cover. We expect these magazines to be hot items.”

“Pure” was the concept for this photoshoot, and so the girls donned ruffles and lace dresses to not only portray feminine images, but give off a romantic mood. Fans were gasped particularly over Seohyun’s cover because she displayed the image of a more mature woman.

Project stylist Kim Woo Ri commented, “Normally, there are a lot of girlish and fancy styles, but SNSD was able to exhibit the innocent concept the best.“

This issue of Marie Claire will be available on April 20th!


SNSD’s Seohyun hates the lyrics to Oh!?


For those of us who know SNSD’s / Girls’ Generation’s maknae Seohyun, it doesn’t come as much of surprise that she doesn’t like the lyrics to the groups new title track Oh! With her well publicized adversity to boys, all of those love confessions written into the lyrics of Oh! surely must have caused her some discomfort.

On a recent recording of the popular new talk show Strong Heart to be broadcast on the 16th, Seohyun opened up and confessed, “The part where the lyrics go ‘Oppa I love you’ was really difficult for me to record. … No matter how much I practiced, when it came time to record, I couldn’t sing it!”

After letting out a sigh Seohyun said, “The lyrics were just so embarrassing that I couldn’t do it at all.”

After revealing all this, of course MC Kang Ho Dong had to ask Seohyun to sing Oh! for him. Seohyun’s response?

She let out another sigh, causing everyone in the studio to laugh at the cute and innocent maknae. In response, member Sooyoung said, “On the other hand, I was told to be as embarrassing as possible!”

The members all had a good time recording the show. Each of them showed off a cute expression and attempted to imitate each other.

Jooyeon is the folding screen in After School?



We know about how T-ara’s Hyomin is being referred to as the “folding screen” in Invincible Youth for just being there and go unnoticed. But it seems like there is another idol group member who has that same nickname.

Photos of After School’s Jooyeon on a recent radio episode of Shim Shim Ta Pa this past week have gained some interest as she has an innocent expression etched on her face while holding the mic with her hands.

But what gained more interest from fans was when she said during the show about her position in the group, “I am just a folding screen in the group.”

Her fellow group member, Jung Ah said, “Jooyeon is a very pretty girl. If she just smiles a little, she would probably get a lot of love calls to appear on shows. But the problem here is that she doesn’t smile that often.” Jung Ah then added that she now practises on smiling with Jooyeon everyday.

A Shim Shim Ta Pa staff expressed, “She will shine sooner or later if she continues practising her smile.” And this is probably true since Hyomin has more or less blossomed since her near invisible start on Invincible Youth.

Netizens said, “Jooyeon looks very adorable in the photos,” “Don’t be disheartened unnie, you are definitely not a folding screen.”

SNSD’s Yuri wows fans with her toned body


Fans have been noticing that SNSD’s Yuri was sticking to a strict diet, and it seems the fruits of her labor were finally shown off.

Netizens have been gushing over pictures of Yuri’s abs, taken during her performance in SNSD’s nationwide Japanese tour. Although she’s always carried a sexy vibe, netizens noticed that she looked more grown-up with her toned body.

Fans commented, “Is that really Yuri? I could mistake her for Hyori”, “She looks like a sexy warrior”, and “The sexiest ever.”
