Girls' Generation Discuss Differences With 8 Members

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

During the press conference for their showcase on the same day, the remaining eight members discussed their thoughts and feelings since last year's scandal.

"Seeing as how each member had a long training period, we're fairly good at both singing and dancing," said Girls' Generation's Yuri according to [BANNED SOURCE].

"When we were able to separate the members into [three groups of three], we had no time to stand out, which had been a shame, but I think we've now gotten the time to show each member's charm."

Lead singer Taeyeon also discussed the group's plan to release three title tracks and accompanying music videos for this comeback.

"We did not want to disappoint our fans, so we rolled up and stuck together more as we prepared, and this became a chance for us to become stronger," she said. "Since we've prepared so diligently, it was a shame to show just one song, so this time, we ended up trying out three songs [for title tracks]."

During the event, Taeyeon also revealed, “When there is an odd number of members, it’s easy to make the choreography. Just one person stands in the middle. But when we you have an even number [of members], two have to stand in the middle.”

Yuri added, “We also have longer parts to sing.”

Sunny said, “We want to show that we are striving to be better as Girls’ Generation. We will work hard.”

Since releasing "Party," Girls' Generation has reportedly already risen to the top of the major Korean music charts like Mnet, Bugs, Olleh, SOribada, Genie, Naver and Monkey3, achieving the coveted "all-kill" status.

Similarly, the eight members' appearance on the popular reality show "Running Man" earned the episode an average of 9.7% viewer rating, 1.7% higher than the show's ratings the previous week.

Tell us how you really feel Yuri.

lmao Yuri's and Taeyeon's comments basically read like "Whew! We're so thankful she left tbh. Look how all these things got better for us."

Ngl, I'm not feeling the difference as I thought I would lol

[norringtons.livejournal.com]

Taeyeon throwing some massive shade. She's right, however. I grew soooo tired of Sica always being in the forefront with her smug grin and whiny ass voice.

Sunny said, “We want to show that we are striving to be better as Girls’ Generation. We will work hard.”

YOU ARE JOKING RIGHT. You seriously have to be joking, or on something honey. You've been TERRIBLE recently.

Anyway, I'm excited. They're much better now. They seem tighter and happier. SO happy Hyo and Sooyoung are getting more time to shine.

Sunny now just needs to sort out whatever issues she has.

[sichyo.livejournal.com]

lol Sunny recently implied it's her knee injury... but yeah, it's kind of ironic she's the one who said that. I hope she gets better.

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

Yuri you have longer part to sing bc the line distribuition is not TTS+the minions this time not bc one person is out lol
I have a lot of sentiment to SNSD so I'm happy that they put their asses together after realising that it would not be relatively free ride after so much commotion and it's high time to bring something to the table. Good luck and keep that mindset;)

[turielen.livejournal.com]

TTS+the minions, LMAO
Also OT but I love your username <3

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

settling into this post

lmfaooo at them putting the rest being shafted all on sica as if it hadn't been the TTS show for years now

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

i'm an evil op i made this post with the exact intentions of this shit storm, lol.

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

Lmao don't hold back now Yuri, tell us how ya really feel gorl! I have to agree with iigoru and say that I don't really hear a difference with Jessica gone, which surprises me. The even line distribution seems to make up for her iconic vocals. Although I'm sorry but I'm glad Yoona's still getting scraps because she's just not a songstress. I thought she was good in The Boys but that's it.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

lol

the boys is what got me into kpop
initially, when i watched their live, i though yoona was the lead singer as she sounded soo loud and clear compared to taeyon who sang much softer in the starting

:P

lol

[agentgoodnight.livejournal.com]

lol uh oh. I guess we know who holds the grudges re: Jessica.

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

did seohyun or yoona throw any shade before?
as long they dont im ok with this.
i never was a huge fan of them as group anyway..i only liked 3 members..the others were just there for me.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

i think the maknae's are too kind to ever do that. they were both the ones who started sobbing at the concert in china the day jessica got kicked out too.

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

Yuri... where to start

Anyway shine bright like a diamond Jessica!

[gee.livejournal.com]

Uh huh, kicking out one whole member really leaves so much more room for you to ~shine LOL. I mean it's not like the company couldn't have made an effort before to split lines more evenly or give equal opportunity screen time and whatever. No, it just took booting someone out and then having to scramble to reorganize the pattern. W/e tho, truthfully they weren't any better with Sica, I've been bored for a long time but these statements are still hilarious.

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

it's easy mediaplay 2 dump all the group's previous problems on the person who left so its not surprising they would say this lol at least 4 an sm group

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

"We're fairly good at both singing and dancing"

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

i also can't believe that statement

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

honestly jessica became less important to the group after rdr so she wasn't really changing anything lmao
she started getting less and less lines and screen time so she didn't make THAT much of an impact she was just one of their prettiest members
im just dead @ the list of things they're now able to do smh

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

Lol mte, Jessica was just there for one they needed an extra adlib or the song required more solid vocals. The real culprits, if they want to play the blame game, were TTS. I mean Tiffany was snatching up everyones lines left and right. She was even coming for Satanyeon's high notes! Thankfully Jessica left and the balance has been restored<3

[missingmisnomer.livejournal.com]

“We also have longer parts to sing.”

Sorry but I laughed OUT LOUD when I read this. Yes blame it all on Jessica. Blame her for global warming and traffic jams too while you at it.

[gee.livejournal.com]

Instead of "thanks Obama" kpop can have "thanks Jessica", expose that devil and her ill ways!

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

While Yuri and Taeyeon's statements are ridiculously ridiculous, I found Sunny's “We want to show that we are striving to be better as Girls’ Generation. We will work hard.” more laughable

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

I read a story like this in the bible, something about siblings selling their brother as a slave and then he became king of Egypt

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

Joseph was sold by his jelly half-brothers and became vizier, basically second most important person after pharaoh. They reconciled later on but how they tricked Jacob (their dad) to believe his fave son is dead was sad :(
When i was a kid had this cool comic book based on Bible and Joseph was my fave. I liked how he was able to interpret dreams.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

just keep on the slayage bbs

[burqaswag.livejournal.com]

Disgusting. The whole better off without Jessica narrative makes me sick.

"Seeing as how each member had a long training period, we're fairly good at both singing and dancing," said Girls' Generation's Yuri

That's a lie.

[impatiences.livejournal.com]

mte. i think it's just a gross flip-flop because their whole selling point was "ot9!!"

[pom-li.livejournal.com]

I never knew Jessica was THIS much of an anchor. Good thing she left to be a professional celebrity.

[chibiyunie.livejournal.com]

And I really thought we could just have this comeback without any shade being thrown but no. Just be the mature adults you are supposed to be and admit that you (probably) all had a part in this mess. Jessica wasn't the only one giving zero fucks but let's all pretend she was the reason half of them peaced out years ago. I can't with the blame game, especially since Jessica can't really argue with it without being buried in hate.

Honestly I still like them they are my bias group but I thought they were above these immature answers.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I would agree with that. I love 'em still, but yeah, this was just petty.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

tiffany is my bias, but this never fails to deliver.

[lennoxs.livejournal.com]

wow, i can't believe a single member was holding snsd back from so much :( how unfortunate

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

lmao exactly, obviously Sica is too powerful and had to be stopped

[kwonddochi.livejournal.com]

lol Yuri. You just gave me a reason to never take you seriously.

Jessica hogged all the lines and the spotlight. Hmm, I wonder why I never noticed?

So glad that Yoona's the only member i care about now. And probably Seohyun.

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

nagl and just when i had started to accept ot8 into my heart

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

wow i can't believe they're throwing so much shade. "now we get more lines" and "we get more spotlight now" doesn't come when you kick out a member, stupid.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

taeyeon didn't say anything that isn't that obvious in regards to the differences, but wow at yuri, don't hold back now.

I realize they all have to move on and they are just excited to be promoting and hyping up ot8 for the fans, but some of their statements read like the past 6+ years did not exist, or that they were lacking due to ot9.

either way just here for seobb and yoona and to a lesser extent sunny and hyo

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

but some of their statements read like the past 6+ years did not exist, or that they were lacking due to ot9.

this. now I'm left wondering for how long did some of the members wish for someone to leave so they could have more solo time? I guess if this is how you come to terms with Jessica's split, then okay, but to voice it like this really taints the memory of the original Soshi.

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

TTS always was the real culprit for the messy line distribution lbr

Yuri is shady af. Bitch can't even sing, does she want high notes now that Jessica's gone? Lmao
