For ‘Children’s Day’, which is May 5th in Korea, ‘Dispatch News’ interviewed our girls. In the interview, a variety of questions were asked by children to Korea’s national girl group. The questions included members’ handphone numbers (ohlala!), reasons for wearing hot pants, and whether they get along with Super Junior or SHINee better.
Here’s the interivew english-subbed by wonderfulgeneration!
Interview Translations from Fanwonder:
Interview (D represents Dispatch News who conveyed the questions from some children)
D: SNSD noona(sisters), why do you cry whenever you get first? (Choi SungJae, 8 years old)
Tiffany: Did we cry whenever we get no.1? (Looking at other members) Ah, we did.
Yuri: I think among the nine of us, we take turns crying.
Tiffany and Hyoyeon: Whenever we get no.1, the members would keep on crying because we feel very happy inside our hearts.D: Sooyoung noona, since your name is Sooyoung, can you really swim well? (Choi SungJae, 8 years old)
Everyone: No. She can’t. Sooyoung can’t swim.
Sooyoung: Noona’s name is not the sport ‘swimming’ (went on to explain her ‘soo’ and ‘young’). Children, when you grow up and have started to learn hanja, you would understand what noona’s name means. I’m not related to this sooyoung (‘swimming’, moving her arm). However, children, if you want, noona will learn how to swim this summer.D: As I want to grow long hair, I wish to know how can I grow them like unnies? (Kim JiMin, 8 years old).
Hyoyeon: (Touching her hair) Think a lot about your hair growing long. Long.Long…..
Sunny: (Touching her hair) Long hair.
Tiffany: If you eat well, It won’t take long for your hair to grow.
YoonA: That’s right. Your meals must be balanced. If you eat a lot of food with protein, your hair will grow very very fast.
Taeyeon: Black beans are good.
Tiffany: If you obey your parents, your hair will grow fast.
Hyoyeon: Aye. That’s right.D: SNSD unnies. Do you like Super Junior? Do you like SHINee? Who are you closer to? (Kim JiMin, 8 years old)
Tiffany: I can’t choose. Yes.
Taeyeon: All of them.
Hyoyeon: Super Junior are really cool oppas, right? SHINee are really cool hoobaes (juniors), aren’t they? Am I right?D: SNSD noonas. What are your telephone numbers? Please let me know your handphone numbers. (Yoon JaeMin, 8 years old).
Yuri: 1004~ noona’s number 1004~
YoonA: 010~
Tiffany: My number is bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong~bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong.
Sooyoung: Instead of asking for our phone numbers to send us greetings, you can help noonas much more if you cheer for us when we are performing on stage. Our children, please support and cheer for SNSD always.D: SNSD noonas, even during winter, why do you wear hot pants? You don’t feel cold? (Yoon JaeMin, 8 years old)
Sooyoung: It’s cold. (Looking at Jessica) Cold, right?
Jessica: Yes, it’s cold. Very.
Hyoyeon: It’s because We have to look pretty in the costumes that match the songs we are performing…
Sunny: Also to show that we are healthy
YoonA: When we are not on stage, we wear long pants.
Tiffany: When we are not on stage, we put on a few layers of clothes.
Yuri: Dear children, when you are cold, do not wear short pants like unnie/noona. Please take care of your health and wear long pants.D: SNSD noona, are you nervous when you’re on the stage? When do you feel nervous the most? (An JungJin, 10 years old)
Sooyoung: The time when i am most nervous. I think it should be before we get onto the stage. Since we enjoy ourselves while we are performing on stage, the most nervous moment is the time when we are just about to perform…the nervousness is so great that I feel like crying.
Jessica: Yes, that’s right.At the end of the interview:
Sunny: Dear children. Always stay healty and listen to your parents well. Also, always listen to your teachers as well. Get along well with your friends. Please give us, SNSD noonas/unnies lots and lots of love.
Everyone: Dear children, goodbye~Right now So.Nyeo.Shi.Dae. We love you ♡.

I’ve got to say this is totally cute! Apparently, according to Wikipedia, on ‘Children’s Day’ (어린이날) in Korea, parents often give their children presents and spend time with their children, taking them to the zoo or museums. Uh…is it just me or is ‘Children’s Day’ not a big holiday in the United States? 😦 I

SNSD Korean 
cute kids and some of their questions lol
Pingback: For Children’s Day, Kids Ask and SNSD Answers! | pop
My god, aren’t they just perfect! Forever looking after anyone and everyone. Lol’d hard to “listen to your parents and your hair will grow!”. So hilarious, cute and helpful!
so apparently Chinese SONES bought the rights to one of the constellation of Pisces and named in “Taeng Star.” yes…now, Taeyeon has her own constellation named after her…btw: Taeyeon’s zodiac sign is Pisces! so now, we can look up the sky and actually see that Taeyeon is a “star.”
forreals? x] that’s soo cute haha. makes me think of ‘Like A Star’
yup…according to soompi! wouldn’t it be cool if all the girls actually got their own constellation? i heard soshified’s already asking for suggestion for SNSD’s 4th anniversary gift, i think it would be a great suggestion to get all the members a star in their own right.
It would be cool if they found an unnamed constellation with 9 stars and named them after the girls and named the constellation “SNSD” or something. I think this would an awesome 4th anniversary gift idea, it literally lasts forever and their names will be forever etched into the Global Star Registry.
Ah, there’s no denying how sweet and cute children are with their innocuous questions.
Here in Singapore, Children’s Day is an excuse for not coming to school and some teachers actually condone that. You can either choose to enjoy a fun-filled day chock full of entertaining activities with your teachers and friends, or choose to stay at home and do whatever you want. But it depends on which school you’re attending though.
I think it applies for most countries in SEA. For Malaysia, students usually get lots and lots of ice-cream. It’s also the day when teachers wouldn’t confiscate your Pokemon cards.
As for Children’s Day and SNSD, how we forget this super duper heart melting aegyo explosive from Yuri??
Taeyeon looks so bored in the video oO
she looks more like sad not bored. probably things are troubling her. she would speak the most, maybe shes sick .
We need that holiday world wide!!
Also Girls Day and boys day from Japan 😀
taeyeOn looks sad in this video ><a
Taeyeon looks like a kid, very cute mushroom hair. Is she tired or something..
Yuri, yoona and seohyun look like triplets. (:
cute children with cute question….
“SNSD noona, What are your telephone numbers?..”……haha…..
SNSD, fighting! ^^
taeyeon looks like a grumpy kid sitting at the corner^^ and i hope shes ok, she looks sad 🙂
I find it hard to find a scene when taeyeon smiles. why is she so sad…?? TTTT
They look like 9 “overgrown kids” from their video reactions to the posted questions 😀 😀 😀 !!! Unfortunately, I have to agree with the rest, who stated that our dear “kid leader” looks tired/sad in the video :(. Perhaps she’s still reflecting on the “attempted” stage “kidnap” incident ?!! Please cheer up, Taengoo, your infectious laughter is what keeps everybody “sane” and happy 😉 😀 !!!
BTW,I LOVE the girls’ answer to the young boy’s request for their mobile numbers 😉 ! “1004-angel” : that is just so Hilarious 😀 😀 😀 !!! Tiffany’s “bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong~bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong bbyeong” also “takes the cake” 🙂 !!! I do believe that is the youngest male fan (SONE) to make a “pass” at our 9 “angels” on camera 😀 😀 😀 !!! Ah, the innocence of youth 😉 😀 😀 😀 !!!
I’d happily teach Soo Young how to swim.
Wahh so cute. Never too young or old to be a SONE 🙂
Children’s day in Korea has just been made perfect with SNSD. Only if they did it in Singapore too.
hahah cute cute, especially that one boy asking for their phone numbers XD
Why is Taengoo noona so….tired? bored? idk lol
heheh that was a fun video to watch, can’t forget about the younger, mini-sones!
lol why isn’t there a Children’s Day in America? I’ll tell you why, cause we don’t need it! lol idk maybe some kids do, my parents just tell me that American kids’ lives are so much easier, less work, laidback, too much relaxation, compared to Korean kids
SOSHI FIGHTING!!!!!!
This video made me realize just how much I miss SNSD! D;
