Any rumors on how SNSD are able  to maintain their fine physiques (other than through rigorous training) can now be put to rest!

On the Lunar New Year special of SBS program, “What Are Stars Doing?” SNSD’s trainer, Kim Jihoon revealed that:

SNSD’s daily diet is about 1,500 kCal. They take seasonal herbs, 5 cuts of brocolli, grilled chicken breast meat 100 gram, 150g brown rice, etc. They usually eat well.

Dailymotion embed just in case SBS takes it off YouTube

Also, according to a ‘Stars You Would Like To Dine With‘ survey, SNSD placed 2nd, behind Strong Heart and Star King MC Kang Ho Dong.

Even though they came in at second, let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to dine with these girls? I mean, they play with their asparagus!

..fo yo mama.

(LOL. Sooyoung, Yoona, ..Sunny.)

So remember this post, and the possibility that our girls could star in their very own Japanese drama? Well, it looks like it isn’t happening anymore!

On February 2nd, SM Ent had a phone conversation with Money Today Star News and stated that there was no plan in casting the girls in a drama anymore. The representative also added, “As SNSD will be focusing on domestic activities, there is no plan for them to star in drama.”

This could be a good thing since with the girls already have such tightly packed schedules, a drama is something that can be held off for now. I’m sure down the road there will be plenty more offers! I certainly wouldn’t call this a bad piece of news.

Ramen!

Having recently been witnessed dining out, SNSD are at it again, this time in Japan.

Right after their Music Station appearance, five of the girls dashed off to a nearby ramen shop, after it was recommended to them on the show. Whilst feasting away, they were snapped by the local paparazzi and later featured in the above news article.

Translation:

SNSD ate ‘Pork fat tonkotsu ramen*’!
The 9 beautiful legged group, who conquered Japan, surprisingly have ‘a substantial meal’ as their favorite food.

”This is dangerous” ” Their legs are so nice”
In the lodgings of the Soccer Asian Cup, Kagawa and Nagatomo are chatting like this, as the video plays.
The moment they saw pictures of SNSD they got excited. It seems that even the Japanese representatives got completely captivated by their opponent, the Korean idols.
The last friday night of January SNSD were staying in Japan. The girls went to a long-established ramen shop in the downtown area.
Five of the members went to the ramen shop. Because it was crowded they couldn’t sit together so 3 members sat at the counter.
On this day they appeared live on a music program. (MusicStation) During the program one of the members asked to recommend a good ramen shop.
It seems that immediately after the show they went to eat it.
The ramen shop the girls went to specializes in tonkotsu ramen, where the pork fat surfaces.
I think these are considerably high calories for the girls, whose attraction point are their fine and long beautiful legs…
Because of this occasion how about for their next PV the 9 girls gather around the counter and line up with their beautiful legs?

Trust Yoona to be one of the five, and Sooyoung is probably in there somewhere!

Recently, rumours have started to arise that SNSD might soon be starring in their own Japanese drama; one based losely on a manga (Japanese comic) with each member starring as the main character in different episodes. The drama is said to be planned for airing in Japan in late 2011 and later in Korea. Continue reading →

K-Sones donating for a good cause

Who says fan communities do nothing but spazz?!?!?

Sone’s have banded together to donate an incredible amount of money to help patients suffering from Lou Gehrig’s Disease

comments made from fan-cafe members,

“In the name of SNSD, we have donated 1 million Won to the Korean ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Association“.

According to a team leader, “Although the amount is not huge, we hope that it would help a bit. The fact that all fansites joined hands made this effort a meaningful one”. Another member added, “In the future, we would like to participate and lead such voluntary event again”.

ALS stands for the scientific name of the disease which is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. It affects the central nervous system degenerating muscles and ultimately failing to work in the body.

I’m very much a realist in life, so things such as this instill me with hope for humanity and the beauty and kindness that can be found.

SNSD= Best Idol Group in the past 5 decades?

Yes! At least according to “Death Note” Director, Shusuke Kaneko. Kaneko tweeted on January 25th: “Although I’m saying this while I’m drunk, SNSD is the best idol group in the past 50 years (among singers)”. LOL! They say people are honest when they’re drunk. Obviously they’re right 😀

All my biases aside, this wasn’t Kaneko’s first mention about SNSD. Last year, after SNSD’s Tokyo showcase, he wrote, “I was stunned by SNSD’s stage performance. They were overflowing with charm on stage.” On January 19th, he tweeted, “I managed to watch the full version PV for SNSD’s new song ‘Visual Dream’. It’s advanced. Aren’t they going to release a Japanese version PV for ‘Run Devil Run’?”

Lucky for the famous director, SM did release a Japanese version of the hit single. Even before then, Kaneko had been using as his Twitter avatar a picture of the girls in Hanboks (now it’s a picture of the girls during “Honey” promos), and described himself as a “SNSD fan, Film Director”, clearly showing his love for Soshi.

UPDATE: More videos added!

With their recent big win at the Seoul Music Awards on the 20th, the award that SNSD won the following day sort of fell under the radar. But hey, any award that the girl’s win is definitely worth covering (and because it is our duty to do so :)), especially when they make an ABSOLUTELY STUNNING appearance at the ceremony.

Hit the jump to see what I’m talking about but be forewarned, the following post is PICTURE HEAVY! Continue reading →
