Looks like she got close to legendary Lee Sun Hee, now do a duet please 

Edit: 

That's the woman that sang Fox Rain. I love that Song!

I fell for some really horrible April fools jokes today and yesterday. I'm so disappointed in myself. Got myself excited over an SNSD repackage that isn't even real 

YURI UPDATE:

I feel like it is okay to let everyone know that Yuri is safe in Miami! I just got her autograph and I have no words. Just please cheer her on at Ultra and through the livestreams ((((:

Lucky 

Yoona getting movies in Korea

Sooyoung getting movies in Japan

Tiffany getting movies in America...... eventually

 

Soshi taking over every form of media lol. Can't wait for them to make their own video games

They need to make their own anime. It's my one wish.

Soo do you guys like Soshi's new badges? 

 

My faves are:

(Yoona's face should have been a bit lower tho, and Hyo's a little more on the right)

 

These are alright

 

I'm not a fan of these tho :<

 

I didn't even know the votes were open, I couldn't vote for any badge :(

 

I think I'm going to hide my Taeyeon badge </3

 

 

Edit;

 

These should have won

 

 

I wasn't a big fan of any Taeyeon badge but this one was the prettiest

Sunny's badge is actually one of my favorites.

I may be the only one but I don't see it that way.

 

You are talking about SMTOWN aka SM artists showcase. So I don't see why Seo/Soo/Tiff should perform there.

 

If it was any other Girls' Generation's performance; be it a festival, a concert or anything, I would hope for the 8 girls to perform together.

 

But not for SMTOWN. Just because SMtown and right now, there is only 5 girls in SM. Why no-SM artists would perform on SM artist showcase? It would even be awkward imo.

 

But it doesn't mean, for me at least, that the 3 others are not part of SNSD anymore and won't be able to performe under SNSD's name in the future.

Exactly. It's not like it's a full blown comeback. It's an SMtown concert. We shouldn't expect the 3 members that left the company to perform with the rest of the group. They aren't SM artists anymore. If they do then that's great. But we shouldn't take it as a sign that SNSD are officially 5 members. Would it be awkward seeing them perform their hit songs as 5 members? Of course, just like it was when they first performed as an 8 member group. But we don't even know what they're performing. They might perform separately. They might not sing any of their group songs.

I think it's waaaay too early to brush of Yuri solo over no real conclusion.

 

For starters SM never even promoted it properly, the only time they did was t-minus 2 days and those teasers were already shown from raiden. Then there's the fact that it's not even Yuri's song, she's simply a feature, it's not specifically made for or by her. Raiden is the one who asked Yuri to be a part of it.

 

Then there's the actual release of solos, honestly SM doesn't really care of they do that well or not. SM solos generally aren't super duper successful (high digital + album) it's only really Taeyeon that has gone nuclear. Compare her to Taemin, Luna, Amber, Kyuhyun, Yesung, Jonghyun etc. Even Tiffany and Seohyun couldn't match. Yet that didn't stop SM from allowing members to have their own solo (one of the few good decisions SM makes these days). Even if Yuri doesn't do stellar, looking back it's not like that brands her solo a failure and she should stop when others didn't do great either but also got chances.

 

It's not just SM, other labels have the same problem, going solo doesn't equal instant success. Big bang are huge and so is GD the rest haven't faired as well: Top hasn't tried properly, Taeyang did well before but flopped recently, Seungri couldn't match and daesung only ever performs in Japan weirdly. Jyp has similar issues; WG was big but Yeeun didn't do that well, Sunmi full moon album didn't do that well (digitally I think it did alright but not to gashina or 24hrs level), 2pm was big but their solos didn't light anything on fire. Hyorin did well at debut then flopped recently, Kara never had a breakout solo, Hyuna significantly lost a lot since her huge hallyu era and so on.

 

So yeah, even if Yuri may not perform well that shouldn't instantly mean she shouldn't be allowed that opportunity. Having a member do very well solo isn't easy. Plus we know SM greenlighted her for a solo 2 years ago, they're just being bastards at this point of they keep delaying

True. The only group members I can think of that have gone solo and been successful in a significant way are GD, Hyuna and Taeyeon. In all technicalities, Taeyeon has had a solo career for quite some time now (if you count her OSTs). The public already liked her and didn't have to guess what they could expect out of her (which is nothing less than perfect vocals). If SM are gonna give the girls solo careers they need to up their individual popularity, which we know they aren't gonna do. Some of the girls have an individual fandom strong enough to sell a significant amount of albums and chart decently (Taeyeon, Yoona and formerly J*ssica, Seohyun, and Tiffany). 

I doubt SM is gonna scrap Yuri's solo album just because her Station song didn't chart well 

Chemistry Major with a minor in Music.

Yes! After all of that mess on their 10th anniversary comeback, sones pulled through with the sales and a Bonsang for GG!

Whatever happened to the chinese web drama Seohyun was supposed to be in?

Who remembers UFO star call?

Seriously though. I'm sure that the SNSD members know that their group activities are going to slow down significantly. But if all of the members wanted to continue holding on to the group why would Tiffany, Seohyun, and Sooyoung hold on to being SNSD members outside of the company if they knew that SNSD had no future activities? What's the point in them holding onto it if their is no future for the group what so ever?

This is the reality for older groups. None of the SNSD members said that this was going to be easy. But the fact that the members negotiated terms with SM rather than leave the group shows that they are willing to try.

Things slow down especially when you are 10 years into your career. SNSD has come to terms with that. SNSD is not SM's number 1 priority anymore. If we only get a comeback every 2 years that's fine. Let's just come to terms with the fact that we are not going to see the SNSD we saw a few years ago. They aren't going to constantly have group activities or tours to go on anymore and they aren't going to be coming back with a new album every single year.

But we might see more well thought out comebacks from the girls now.

Well this thread sure is cheerful, must be the lingering holiday spirit

ikr

Seohyun has been out to more events and schedules this past month. I love the Burberry doodle event.

It seems like Taeyeon can't win when she makes a mistake. They act like she purposefully tried to cause an accident or was under the influence. The fact that people are using this as an opportunity to hate on her as though she did it on purpose (even though she offered to pay for the damages) is disgustingly low for k-netz. 

It seems SNSD (neither f(x) since I'm on it) will not have "seasons greetings" from SM this year...

Thus...

 

 

A very different tone...

------------------------------------------

I do not know what to believe anymore, in some interview she is all-giving hopes for the future of the group but in other ones is all stating how the future of the group is ambiguous and will fully focus on herself from now on.

 

I do not know if that is because of her being interviewed by multiple media outlets or only snippets being translated, but it keeps changing the scenario every time.

 

Sigh, I have said this already but I will say it again regardless, if the members are done with the group already why they can just simply address it directly already instead of dragging it because they are worried of hurting the fandom feelings...

 

Like, we already got hurt ever since promotions started and giving false hope will only make it worse once is revealed that hope will never come true.

 

This is not only with SeoSooFany but with all the members in general, I get it, they already gave us 10 years of SNSD, their friendship is now beyond the brand name and stuff. But what is on the table is the continuity of the group, continuity that was teased by SM and the members themselves prior and after the news broke out.

 

Like, can they just address that simple question with no ambiguousity nor switch of answer...

 

I don't see it like that. It's obvious why all 3 of them left SM because they don't trust SM with their solo activities. Especially Seohyun. They left to focus on their careers. Seohyun is in her late twenties, has been under SM for 10+ years, and as much as she has dedicated to the group and has shown how hard working she is yet they never helped her get anything. The same with Sooyoung. And after that flag scandal with Tiffany SM did absolutely no damage control and just let her suffer in silence for damn near the rest of the year. If Seohyun wanted to be focus completely on herself and her career she could've left SNSD. The same goes for Sooyoung. But they still want to be in this group. Hell, Seohyun is starting her own one-woman company and is taking responsibility for everything that happens with herself as an individual and as a member. And they still refer to themselves as SNSD members.

Where is she.. shooting variety show? She looks so pretty, fresh and bright in this dress in the color pink! I would like to see her dressed like this on MBC red carpet

It's a CF.

I don't know anything about this but let's do this!

So from what I am getting from this is that Seohyun, Sooyoung, and Tiffany simply did not renew their contracts with SM but that they are still members of SNSD. Perhaps the remaining ones still at SM simply renewed their contracts as individuals with the company. So it's simply a difficult situation to try and work out how to go forward as a group when 3 of the members aren't under the same company anymore. I could be wrong though.
