Girls’ Generation captivated the Japanese audience with their dazzling beauty and ever-impressive dance moves on Nippon TV’s ‘Music Lovers’ aired on October 7th, where they performed the Japanese version of ‘Oh!’, ‘All My Love Is For You’ and ‘Mr. Taxi’.
The broadcast attracted a lot of attention, especially with the appearance of Imada Koji, a comedian who claimed to be the girls’ hardcore fan. Watching Girls’ Generation’s performances together with the audience, Imada Koji made gestures of having heart attacks several times and fell to the floor, drawing laughter from everyone in the studio. Imada Koji, an actor cum comedian, once appeared in Girls’ Generation’s ‘Time Machine’ music video. The ballad was one of the songs included in the 1st Japanese Album (repackaged) ‘Girls’ Generation~The Boys~’.
After their performances, Imada Koji met up with the girls on stage and said, “I came here, leaving my 27 years of experience in the entertainment world at home”, showing a warm welcome to the girls not as a colleague in the industry but as a fan. The girls responded by saying, “Thanks to Mr. Imada, we were able to deliver more powerful performances.”
Besides that, during a corner of the show where the girls were asked to show their charms, Imada Koji once again fell to the floor due to Sunny’s irresistible aegyo, showing his true side as a fan and at the same time, keeping the audience entertained with his sense of humor.
It’s time to ‘power-up’ your wallets again! After just a month and a half of the 5th Japanese Single, ‘Oh!’, the girls are back with the 6th single and subsequently, the 2nd Japanese album two weeks later.

On YTN’s ‘News 12 – Issue and People’ aired on October 4th, The One, who was once a vocal trainer, talked about one of his students, Taeyeon.
During the programme, The One said, “Within the period of 10 years, I have taught over 400 artists including TVXQ, Super Junior, Sugar, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, etc and they were all bright students, especially Taeyeon.”
He continued, “While I was coaching her for 2-3 years when she was still in middle school, I knew she was different from the moment I saw the expressions in her eyes. She was very aware of the goals that she had to achieve and she kept her focus in achieving her goals.”

Sooyoung thinks of herself as an easygoing woman.
As a member of Girls’ Generation and also an actress starring in tvN’s medical drama ‘The 3rd Hospital’, Sooyoung displayed her unique charms as a refined fashionista through a set of latest pictorials revealed in ‘First Look’ magazine on September 20th.
On the cover of the magazine, Sooyoung who transformed into Song JaIn’s J-Lite muse, posed with monotone natural items just like a professional model. Hot pants and the skinny-cut pants highlighted Sooyoung’s trademark flawless and beautiful legs even more.
At an interview carried out after the pictorial shoot, Sooyoung answered questions about being a woman and a human being as a whole. Sooyoung said, “I’m a very easygoing woman. I too want to make the other person as comfortable as I feel with him. I don’t like making people feel uncomfortable. I want to be a woman that someone can lean on. I’m surprisingly feminine. I make cupcakes and bake cookies. If I were to get married, I want to cut some fruits and take them to my husband’s office. I want to be proud and become a comfortable girlfriend to be with.”
Sooyoung, who usually has a good fashion sense, also commented, “I just like comfortable fashion. Recently, my motto is ‘Back to Basic’. White t-shirt and jeans to go with a pair of sneakers looks really great. Even before debut, I love Song JaIn seonsaengnim’s clothes and so, I often went to see her collections. Particularly, this cute teddy bear mark that represents Song JaIn Seonsaengnim’s environmental-friendly mindset. Her design looks like a rider jacket or biker pants. Since the material has been washed, it’s stylish and comfortable at the same time. If I were to mix and match the clothes to be worn just like the styling for today’s photoshoot, I think it should be good enough to wear only J-Lite’s clothes throughout the week.”
More photos of Sooyoung and her full interview are available on First Look Online and First Look Mobile.
