Over the weekend, rumors that Girls' Generation subunit TaeTiSeo would be releasing an English version of their hit "Twinkle" spread all across the internet.
However, it looks like the rumors were just merely rumors, as Taeyeon herself put the whispers to rest. When she saw the large amount of replies to her Instagram posts were talking about TaeTiSeo's supposed English album, she quickly replied, "What are you talking about, everyone ㅜ Even I don't know about this."
She added, "Everyone, you haven't heard about our albums in a while, huh ^^ I think that's why rumors are going around... Sorry, we'll come back soon with a great album ^^". Her last comment was, "TaeTiSeo's English album... even when I hear about it, I feel pretty excited. Haha, everyone!! We're working hard on our album today, too! I want to give you guys more detailed spoilers, but I'll get scolded kekeke. Wait a little, just a little more, Sone. Sorry I made you wait ㅜ and thanks ㅜ".
So even if we don't get a TaeTiSeo album, looks like a Girls' Generation album is coming up soon!

According to sources, Seohyun has been cast in the upcoming SBS weekend drama, “Passionate Love”, for the role of Han Yurim, the first love of the drama’s male lead, Kang Mooyeol.
Han Yurim, the character Seohyun will be playing, is a popular veterinary science university student with a smart brain, neat facial appearance, and warm heart. The male lead, a high school student, falls in love at first sight when he sees her and poses as a college student in order to date her. Eventually she becomes his star-crossed first love.
Seohyun previously made a cameo appearance along with the other members of Girls’ Generation in the 2008 KBS 2TV sitcom, “Unstoppable Marriage”, which featured members Yuri and Sooyoung as part of the regular cast. However, this is the first time Seohyun will be acting in a drama.
Seohyun’s character, Han Yurim, will appear in the first four episodes, but she will be a character who influences the overall flow of the story. Seohyun has garnered attention as to whether she will be able to prove her potential as an actress through her first acting attempt in this drama.
“Passionate Love” is a human-melodrama that draws out the story of a man and woman from two families who are tangled in tragedy. The two leads are planning on showing life’s emotions through the various people around them, success, and ruins. The drama will air in October after “Wonderful Mama” ends.

oh jeez, genuinely worried for her because acting isn't something you can study for until you perfect it. but will be giving her the benefit of the doubt because she's never been known to put less than 100% into anything she does

On August 24th, Sooyoung volunteered for an event held by the Korea Retinitis Pigmentosa Society (KRPS), a non-profit organization that provides aid to those suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, a set of rare genetic eye diseases. Amidst her busy schedule and many overseas activities, Sooyoung actively made time to support the KRPS and her father, Choi Jeong-nam, who is the head of this organization. In the pictures, Sooyoung is seen taking care of the food distribution for the attendees, holding a speech with her father, and cheerfully talking to the attendees.

On April 14, 2012, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun were appointed ambassadors for the KRPS. Soshified supported the KRPS as well by donating a total amount of $15,103 to commemorate Girls’ Generation’s fifth anniversary. On September 19th, 2012, Sooyoung’s father, sent a letter of appreciation to Soshified to thank Soshified for its contributions.
Sooyoung has spoken several times about retinitis pigmentosa and most recently talked about it in an interview for “Elle” magazine.

ceecile.livejournal.com1. Shocking shocking! 'Best visual' two top idol couples discovered
Popular girl group member A and 'handsome sculpture' B met through a variety program and are said to have fallen in love. Known to be masculine and honest, B recently confessed to his friends over some drinks that A is now his girlfriend. B has surprised his friends with the type of girls he dated but it seems this time he's found his perfect match, with both parties lacking nothing in face, body, or talent. A perfect combination if there ever was one!
Not only that, but 'trend of the trends' C and D are also said to be dating. C was known for dating Hallyu girl group member E for a brief period but has since focused solely on his work in fear of getting caught by paparazzi. D finally managed to capture his heart, however, and she's quite the trend of the industry herself. Once their scandal comes out, it will be a true shock to the industry!

One said, "I'm not sure of the exact timing, but as old lovers, their relationship deteriorated and they decided to become friends."

Eunjung's interview with Billboard Korea
Girl Group T-ara welcomed their 4th anniversary recently. Once having enjoyed top popularity, this gemstone-like girl group has suffered hurt. The arrival and departure of additional members and unconfirmed conjecture was discussed fervently. Their popularity that was not easily accumulated over the years seemed to have been destroyed in an instant. They seem to match the “5 year crisis” that idol groups commonly face in the Korean music industry where idols’ contracts [last around 5 years].
To say that they are not burdened must be a lie. After the controversy that broke out in July last year, T-ara did not respond to any Korean media interviews. Because they believed that if they silently continued their own way, one day, their fans will understand them and any momentary misunderstandings will be resolved. In this case, we are not here to pick at their scars. To talk about T-ara’s past, present, and future – something that they will have to face sooner or later – we carefully conducted our interview.
T-ara’s Eunjung who found courage to meet with Billboard Korea said “We cried a lot.” But they still continue to smile brightly.

greeds.livejournal.comWonder Girls' Sun got Sunmi teary-eyed with her loving message of support all the way from Canada.
Sunmi held her chat session 'Sunmi's Open Studio' on the 26th to celebrate the release of her digital single and Yubin was there by her side as an MC.
Yubin revealed there was a surprise in store for Sunmi which turned out be a message from their leader Sun who shared, "Hi, Sunmi! It's Sunye unni. You're supposed to be surprised. Are you surprised? I watched your first broadcast well. Having prepared a lot for a long time, I hope it was a stage you were satisfied with. I'm sorry that I'm not able to support you by your side. Even from far away, unni is always supporting you so eat well, eat regularly, and get enough sleep. Although it is the start of a busy schedule, always have strength every moment. Don't forget that all of us are always supporting you together. Let's talk often even if it's through text. I love you, Sunmi! Gain strength and stay healthy. Bye!"
Sunmi may be on her own as a solo artist but it seems she can always count on the Wonder Girls to be by her side cheering her on!
