Popular Korean drama “Athena” had a live event that took place on January 7th at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.  Among those who attended the event include “Athena” cast members Cha Seungwon, Sooae, and Choi Siwon.  K-pop artists with connections to the drama were also present, such as Super Junior, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, and SHINee (minus Onew who was absent due to a fever).  30,000 people came to this event, showing their support and enthusiasm for both performances, one occurring during the day and the other in the evening.

During the event’s press conference, Taeyeon shared her thoughts on being at the Saitama Super Arena for the first time without her fellow Girls’ Generation members.  ”Girls’ Generation has performed at Saitama Super Arena before, so it is a place that holds a lot memories for us,” said Taeyeon, who looked a little uneasy being alone on stage.  ”Being on such a spacious stage by myself feels a little bit lonely.”

J.Estina’s 2012 S/S advertisement visuals have received a lot of attention.  With Girls’ Generation modeling J.Estina products, J.Estina began to reveal each member’s advertisement visuals one at a time.

The two most recently revealed J.Estina models have been the Girls’ Generation member who has been gaining lots of love for her cute eye smile, Tiffany, and Sooyoung, who has been garnering attention with her slim figure.  Tiffany and Sooyoung each modeled J’Estina brand wallets and jewelry, appearing like official models.

-Tiffany whose eye smile is charming: “How is this wallet?”

Tiffany, who received a special award in the MC category at the recent MBC Entertainment Awards, appeared in a J.Estina advertisement with an elegant concept and gave off a feeling of spring.

Tiffany wore a light pink one-piece with detailed wrinkle patterns, showing off a lovely, yet graceful, look.  The wallet she held in the advertisement was from the “Flora Glory” line, which features a floral pattern.  The wallet is hot and light pink, this spring season’s trending colors, and is made from embossed leather, giving it a luxurious feel.

The design for the “Flora Glory” line is based on snowflakes and tiaras.  The collection was designed with a PVC pattern and carries the same name as the Roman goddess of flowers and abundance, Flora.

“Flora Glory” wallets come in a gray and brown color.  The brown-colored wallet carries J.Estina’s symbolic colors of purple and pink, which give the wallet a refined look.  The product comes in different sizes.

-Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung: Heart Jewelry Can Be Chic Too

In the recently revealed jewelry advertisement visuals, Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung wore a fitted white-colored one-piece that contrasted with her tanned skin, giving off a modern yet luxurious feel.  Her pose also carried a force similar to that of a model, making the advertisement look like it was a fashion photoshoot.

In the advertisement, Sooyoung wears jewelry from J.Estina’s “Boris Heart Line”, which will be released this spring.  The general loveliness of the heart and Sooyoung’s chic image match well.

Girls’ Generation’s advertisement visuals can be seen in J.Estina’s department stores throughout Korea starting at the end of January.

On KBS 2TV’s ‘Invincible Youth 2′ aired on January 7th, the G8 members were given the duty to clean up a small barn which will house the animals.

Before they started to work on the barn, Sunny and Ji HyunWoo were nowhere to be seen. Feeling puzzled, the G8 members and the two uncles, Boom and Lee SooGeun asked one another, “Where have they gone to?”.

Kara’s Jiyoung and Rainbow’s Woori could not hide their suspicion and said, “We knew it. While we were having kimjang (traditional preparation of kimchi for the winter) together, it seems that those two understand each other very well”.

However, Sunny and Ji HyunWoo were actually taking out the kimchi from the pot they buried and had a great time while tasting the kimchi they prepared.

Hyoyeon’s unexpected character will soon be revealed on KBS 2TV’s ‘Invincible Youth 2′, which will be aired at 11.05pm KST on January 7th.

In this episode, Hyoyeon took up the mission of cleaning and getting the barn ready for the animals. During the recent filming, Hyoyeon built a barn from scratch. Although she was feeling worried throughout the course of building the barn, she was very receptive to the advice and teachings from the village elders who went to visit the under-construction barn.

According to the production crews, Hyoyeon received a ‘compliment’ from the G8 members for her ability and hardwork. They told her, “It was surprisingly well done”.

To this, Hyoyeon replied, “I have put a lot of effort into it. People don’t seem to notice even if I’ve worked hard or done well.”

Whenever she received compliments, Hyoyeon would work even harder and the happy kid in her would be brought out. Even after she hammered her hand accidentally with the hammer, at the words of ‘You are hammering the nails well’, she went on to hammer all the nails in the barn.
