Malaysian Sone’s Touching Event For YoonA’s Birthday~

In conjunction with YoonA’s birthday, international fans have put up ads with their birthday wishes.

Recently, on an online community board, a post entitled ‘Magazine that published SONEs’ birthday messages for YoonA’ was published. Captures of the Malaysian entertainment magazine were also attached along with the post.
In the pictures revealed, the birthday messages from Malaysian fan group for YoonA were published on a popular music magazine ‘EPOP’ in celebration of YoonA’s birthday. This activity is similar to what is being practiced in Korea where fans put up ads on newspapers for their favorite celebrities.
Particularly, as a testimony to SNSD’s reputation as one of the biggest names, not only in Korea but also the whole of Asia, Malaysian Sones have managed to fill every single space on a single page of the magazine with their birthday messages for YoonA. The girls’ popularity can be truly felt and is highly admired.
Well done to Malaysian Sones!!

‘Paparazzi”s MV Is SNSD’s Biggest MV By Scale~

SNSD’s upcoming Japanese single, ‘PAPARAZZI‘, will have a music video that is much bigger in scale than any other music video SNSD has filmed before.

The music video will start off with a scene of the girls avoiding the paparazzi as they head to the stage, and the highlight is a different style of costume in each scene.

In order to prepare for the filming, a set was built that faithfully reproduced a foreign street, including each nuance that would be on a street. With a total of over 30,000 lights used, a week needed to create the buildings, 120 people hired on staff, and 300 people casted for the music video, this set is the biggest in scale compared with what SNSD has worked with in the past.

In relation to the title ‘PAPARAZZI’, the choreography includes the action of taking pictures, and this certainly goes with the girls’ surroundings of continually being the main focus of the media’s attention as they travel around the world.

Another Favorite Couple, Sunny and T-Ara’s Hyomin, Reunites With A Selca~

On 30th of May, it’s not only YoonA who was celebrating her birthday but T-ara’s Hyomin as well!
And guess what she got for her birthday? A much awaited reunion with Sunny whom she became close with back in the days of Invincible Youth Season 1.
Looks like Hyomin will be guesting on one of Invincible Season 2′s Episode but before that here’s the lovely photo of the two. The SunByung couple is back as Hyomin shared, “Today is May 30, it’s my birthday~^^ I received a birthday present. This kid… hehehe Subyung’s revival!!!!!”.

Selca With ShinYoung, G6 And 4 Minute~

Posing with the members of Invincible Youth Season 2′s G6, Shinyoung and the members of 4Minute, here comes another delightful group photo with Sunny and Hyoyeon.
Showcasing a variety of expressions and poses, check out their adorable group photo below;

A Gift of Thanks from Yoona

As her birthday is here, she also did something heart felt for the staff of her drama “Love Rain.”

On May 29th, in conjunction with the filming of the last episode of “Love Rain,” Yoona presented the staff with the gift of photos.
Yoona said, “All this while, thank you to every staff of ‘Love Rain’. Take this vitamin and stay strong always. Fighting!”  Jang Geun Suk also presented the staff with t-shirts as a sign of his gratitude.
Netizens commented, “As pretty as her face, she has a kind heart as well”, “Both YoonA and the staff have all done well”, “Last time, I think she used to write messages to thank the staff at the end of drama filming too”, “How would the ending of ‘Love Rain’ turn out to be?”.
Awww what a thoughtful gift from our charming girl and perfect timing as she celebrates her 23rd birthday!

The Yoooong Musings

You may know her as the elementary school boy Im Choding, the strong Him Yoona, the beautiful Saseumi (deer), the laughing Alligator Yoong…
…Introducing…singer, dancer, actress, promotional model, host, Birthday Girl Im Yoona!

It never fails to amaze me how fast time passes. Another year sails by… Our dear Yoona turns another year older. Can you believe this now super-idol, who has been crowned CF Queen and is commonly known as the ideal type of uncountable male idols, was once a young girl who worried every night, uncertain if she would be able to debut, to stand on stage, to reach her dreams…? Little did she know then that she would become on the border of, if not, a national icon idol, having one of the largest fan-bases in South Korea and becoming ambassadors and spokesperson for many causes. *Sniff sniff..I’m so proud to be a SONE..
To start off, let’s take a look at little pre-debut Yoona in her first MV in 2004.

In 2006, for Studying English CF:

In 2007, still before debut, in Clean and Clear cf:

Yoona, even since pre-debut, has impressed with her charms. Her angel-like features complete with a tom-boyish personality, her seemingly “unladylike” wide alligator laughs and her hilarious imitations are sure to capture anyone’s attention at first sight.
This…

vs. this…

Spy the difference? ‘Cause I don’t…

An old video, but her expressions are so epic it never gets old.

and later…

But the strange duality does not stop there. Who would have imagined that this quiet, innocent girl on appearance would reveal herself to be SNSD’s BIGGEST prankster?

Salty Kimbap Prank Gone Wrong…

 And lol, pretending to ‘take a stab’ at modeling..trolling us fans

Ahhh..one has to admire her chodingness. And her much-hated (by members except Jessica) yet lovable aegyo.



The battle of aegyos

Her cute ‘attempts’ at foreign languages…
English

French

Japanese

And of course, one cannot mention Yoona without mentioning acting. Starting her acting career as early as 2007 as a cameo in 9 Ends 2 Outs, she went onboard the wheel of success, earning 5 awards as the lead role, Jang Saebyuk, in You Are My Destiny only one year later. Now in 2012, she dazzles and makes us fans’ jaws drop with her amazing acting in the currently airing Love Rain. What never fails to fascinate me is how she makes all the characters she plays so real with their own distinct color. In the drama, she is not idol Yoona, but Shin Joo Young, Bool Gwangdong, Mi Ae, Jang Saebyuk, Seo Yoojin, Kim Yoonhee, Jung Hana… Somehow, I just can’t make the connection that it’s Yoona who is playing those characters. Well, she didn’t win Best New Actress for nothing! XD
Awkward Bathroom Incident…

Transformation into the good ol’ days:

To spare you from the 5 kiss scenes in the drama, let’s watch one of the most touching moments in the drama…

And with that, let’s conclude our—lol—trip down memory lane. From the SNSDKorean staff, we wish Yoona a very happy 23rd Happy Birthday! ..with lots of pink helium balloons and cucumbers to prank Jessica!

SNSD’s New Japanese Single Will Attract Many ‘Paparazzi’~

Amazing news for Worldwide Sones! Information has been revealed earlier and as Tiffany and Jessicasuspiciously hinted us before, SNSD will be releasing a new Japanese Single next month…Not as a sub-unit or solo, but Together!! So far the information released only states that it is to be released on June 27th and will be titled, ‘Paparazzi‘! A strong name indeed!
The word ‘Paparazzi’ puts an imagine of a badass in my head, maybe in theory, the concept of this single will show a darker side of SoShi… like RDR or Bad Girl?  Maybe I’m wrong but lets not forget Tiffany’s words,“The song with the most difficult choreography in history. Even though the gestures are not extreme but it’s the fast beats of the song which consumes a lot of energy”. Lets wait for more information about this single. I’m so excited i can picture our Girls’ dancing to the fast beat already!!
UPDATE TEASER:

Promotional Photo For ‘GiRL’ Fragrance – YoonA~

Following the group photos of SNSD’s personal perfume, 10-Corso-Como’s ‘GiRL‘, Here is the first Official Promotional photo featuring Charming Girl YoonA! Here, it looks like YoonA is following a similar concept toTaeTiSeo’s ‘Twinkle’, which to be honest, shouldn’t come in a big surprise as ‘GiRL’ was featured in their MV! Look forward to the rest of the member’s promo photos! Boys, be prepared to buy em for your SNSD Collection girlfriends/ families/ friends/loved ones!! 
(P.S, Yes i have done my homework/research and this is Yoona, not Tiffany! i was also confused myself lolol although it does look 99% like Tiffany!)
Edit: Hint- it might be a poor hint but – Remember Tiffany has bright Red hair for her ‘Twinkle’ promotions and Yoona has that slight brown-ish colour (seen below) for Love Rain!
