halcyon_morn pointed out that the name on the ID is An HyungDong - and since YunHo's last name is Jung, this... is probably not really his dad. (Unless his dad changed his last name or something - Idek why he would, but then again why would anyone change their birthday, so I'm not going to dig too deep into this.) :( Sorry I failz the hanja.

Girls' Generation announced on the 30th that they're opening registration for their first ever fan meeting since debut. This is the next big step for fans of SNSD, with the previous being the announcements of the official fan club name S♥NE and the opening of registrations for the official fan club by S.M. If the performances at the fan meeting are anything like SNSD's performance at MBC's Dance Battle and Wonder Girls' performances at their fan meeting, then there are a lot to be excited about.

Poor Taengoo. She must have been really terrified. I hope someone subs this soon, though, because I'm really curious! I hope it'll be as entertaining as CSJH's horror filming. xD
