SNSD Korean 
SNSD on NHK is awesome. But NHK is a network, not a show.
awesome its nice to see that things are going well
i like this concept for the girls and it makes since for their japan debut. they all look like mature women. they all went from cute to sexy. are they gonna do a japanese version of run devi run because that would suit the concept as well.
is it me or the girls just got even more prettier :)?! everyone seems to have gotten darker shades of hair, seohyun in particular look really beautiful…she looks very japanese-like with her white boho-dress!
Wow they look so mature now, with their outfits and make up! ;D
SNSD<3!
Was it by design they all wore grey tights? Stylists showing off mad skills, the girls look soo sophisticated!
yes…
just seing them well, already comforts people.
like me?
or us. to put it generally.
I’ve got a new favourite band now, and it’s SJJD!!! 🙂
Owh yeah!!! Gratz soshi!!! all the best!!!!
Veri cute conversation ^^ love soshi to the max ^^
The girls look so sophisticated! Ah our dorky gals are all grown up now =D
(AND SICA omegoshies. So cutie! )
When people appear on NHK, they tend to be more formal and more serious.
The girls’ tone-downed, quiet appearance is due to NHK’s culture.
good point…nhk is a major broadcasting channel in japan, and serves as the major news information throughout the country, kind of like CNN. but it also may have been a strategy by the girls’ stylist to dress more conservative, yet fashionable to lesson the attention on their legs. either way, i love how they can adapt from cute, to sexy, to stylishly conservative.
i love what they’re wearing and they look stunnning! i was most surprised with taeyeon..so gorgeous. go SNSD!
