Almost exactly three years ago, on 2^nd of August 2007, SNSD released their debut single: “Into the New World”. Who would’ve thought that they would literally literally take us into the whole new world?

You know, the world where the word “mushroom” is no longer merely a type of fungus, or where the word “genie” is not the magical spirit who grants wishes of its beholder? All these words that once you go into the SoShi world, they’d have a whole different meaning. In the spirit of SNSD’s 3rd anniversary which only couple days away, we tried to compile these words into a SoShi-dictionary! Go check it out~

=====================================================

Aegyo – 1) Cutesy act that mostly done by making cute baby-like voice. 2) The thing which Sunny excels at; she would be so cute that you’d like to punch her… affectionately. 3) The thing which Choi Sooyoung excels at; she would be so cute that a wood would be broken and you’d insist to take her to hospital for a checkup – just in case she ate something wrong.  4) The thing which the rest SNSD members claim to hate yet they equally possess explosive amount of it.
