Girls’ Generation Answers Fan Mail
2011-09-17 01:25 pm
Girls’ Generation members answered fan mail on the Japan Mobile Fansite recently. Check out what the girls had to say below.
Yuri
Q: Yuri, when you are down and have no energy, what do you do?
A: I wear cute training wear and exercise! I’m contemplating if there is something interesting lately. Music! Composing songs!? I’m trying to find something new. Does anyone know something interesting?!
Q: What is your happiest moment?
A: When I discover something new! When I go on a trip.
Q: Isn’t it hard to dance in heels?
A: It’s tremendously difficult. But I don’t mind. (laughs)
Q: Explain us how to apply make-up in order to look cute with natural make-up like Soshi.
A: I apply make-up to make my own charming point stand out. I think the most important is base make-up. Something that matches my skin tone.
Q: During an encore call what do you prefer, ‘encore’ or ‘SNSD’?
A: Both (laughs).

"Tribute90" is a series of '90s covers by indie artists, with a new release every week. Today's release includes Bye Bye Sea's cover of Pipi Longstocking's "바보 버스". The band was shortlived, only existed from 1995 till 1997, but was important for the Korean indie scene as they are seen to have ignited the indie scene movement as they were the first band that actually dared to be different and go in against the mainstream music.

For college students, studies abroad are usually limited to semesters in England and France.
For 17 Lafayette College students, part of their summer was spent participating in a for-credit study abroad program -- in China, North Korea and South Korea.
Professors and students who took the tour from July 30 to Aug. 15 talked about their experiences during a session for their course, Interconnections in Northeast Asia, at the Kirby Hall of Civil Rights Friday afternoon.
The big question: Why North Korea?

South Korea’s top government spy agency said on Friday that it had arrested a North Korean defector on suspicion of plotting an attack on a fellow defector who is a vocal critic of the North.
The suspect was identified only by his surname, Ahn, and his target as Park Sang-hak, who leads the Seoul-based activist group Fighters for Free North Korea.
Mr. Park, a flamboyant leader of anti-North Korean demonstrations, has burned North Korean flags and beat effigies of the North’s leader, Kim Jong-il. He has said he often receives anonymous death threats.
Mr. Park’s group regularly drops balloons over North Korea that carry thousands of leaflets, DVDs and American dollar bills. Leaflets sent to the North on Sept. 9, the anniversary of the founding of the North Korean government, urged North Korean soldiers to “rise up against the dictatorship like the rebels in Libya.”
( Mr. Park told reporters that after several years of silence )
