da what's wrong with this discussion? we can't talk about anything here every discussion is considered either shitstirring or dramatic, i feel like this place is slowly turning to the gifs thread.
da IA its dramatic tho so if a gaggle of dramaqueens are being dramatic it should not be a surprise other people are like to them being all and no one can deny we do get shit stirrer trolls a lot these days but no one has said that now. /shrug
Jessica and Krystal, who sang and danced to music with different rhythms, focused on one rhythm. With just their eyes, the two of them would read each other and drew one another in. Complete as one like that, they seemed relentless and unfearful, and were distinctly beautiful.
JESSICA: The two of us haven’t done a rugged image photoshoot together before. My younger sister and I like this type of feeling (/image), but Girls’ Generation has a pretty image, and because my sister is too young to take on this appearance, we couldn’t do it. Also, even though I appear edgy and sharp, please make sure to let people know that I’m not like that in real life. My fans probably know already, but I’m a ‘heodang’. Heodang. (*heodang basically just means like someone who is kind of odd in their own way?)
I wondered if I should believe these words as is. This is because I couldn’t find a gap in Jessica, skillfully leading the photoshoot. Having debuted 7 years ago, like on stage, she overwhelmed the attention on set with her professional appearance.
JESSICA: I was afraid of photoshoots at first. Because I’m shy and not a model, poses were difficult. Now, the attention of the camera feels comfortable. I’ve learned what appearances look pretty and which don’t. I didn’t have many talents and had a bashful personality, but I tried to become more enthusiastic through this work. Doing that, the way I treat people changed, and I’ve gained the ability, that’s not much of an ability, to talk to people I meet for the first time like this. (laughs)
Krystal, who called the completed photoshoot partnered with her sister ‘Jung sisters’ deviation’, worried about their mother’s response. Honestly, looking at her excited facial expression, it looked like she was kind of looking forward to it, more than worrying.
KRYSTAL: I think my mom will say, ‘Isn’t that a bit strong, do a gentler [photoshoot] next time’. While she does like a cool appearance on stage or screen, she likes seeing my sister or I eating something tastily, or playing without worrying about work more. My mom also occasionally says that she didn’t think that we would become singers and act.
As the years went by, the sisters who shyly danced to SES songs in front of a home video camera when they were younger have become singers, and have also gone through initiations for acting. Now, various modifiers support their existence. Early this year, Jessica ended the musical, ‘Legally Blonde’, and Krystal is filming the drama ‘Heirs’, which is about the love and friendships of upperclass, high school students.
KRYSTAL: Through this drama, I don’t think I’ll be showing a new me or a big transformation. My character is an unruly girl, like average high schoolers, is really warm-hearted, and gets jealous. But that doesn’t mean I’m disappointed. Because I’m 20, I think that I have a lot of opportunities to do new things, even if they don’t happen now.
The entertainment industry is currently overflowing with versatile idol singers. Of them, Jessica and Krystal are like special beings. Though the two, who have showed their skills of being able to melt into any stage, haven’t promoted together, the combination sufficiently makes you anticipate it. You can tell by just looking at today’s photoshoot. The synergy effect the two create with their harmonies is quite something, as they can also draw out delight from the public on their own. During the shoot, while sitting with her back leaning against her, Krystal looked blankly at her older sister, Jessica. There won’t be a reliable wall, or a large door that guides her in the world like her older sister.
KRYSTAL: When I’m with my sister, there’s nothing in the world that I’m afraid of. When I was a trainee, or when I attended school, I really felt reassured because my sister was there. I didn’t know my sister would have this much aegyo (cuteness). I knew it for the first time when I saw her active in Girls’ Generation. (laughs)
Jessica doesn’t want to become a wall that traps her sister, who is 5 years younger than her, but rather a tree that she can lean on.
JESSICA: I always just thought she was a young child, but she has a really nice body and a tough charm. I never even imagined that she would have that side to her. Even so, I always worry. Like if she would make it out well in this line of work. At shoots like today, Girls’ Generation members may do things well on their own, but I tend to show concern for my younger sister. While working, there can’t always only be good things, so there are times when I get upset. I want to interfere and clarify things myself. Because we’re in the same line of work, there are some things that I lean on my sister for, so I’m thankful. I can share things that I can’t tell just anyone, and I think she’s my best friend right now.
Krystal, who debuted when she was 16 years old, has turned 20 this year. While she has become the age to help her older sister with her troubles, rather than being happy about becoming an adult, she sighs.
KRYSTAL: Ah, I’m already 20. I don’t like how time is going by so fast either. If you look at it one way, it seems like I spent my years before turning 20 specially, but when I think about it, that’s not necessarily the case. If I wasn’t doing what I do now, I might have wanted to hurry and become an adult, but right now, it feels like I’ve learned too many things.
Though Krystal is a 20 year old girl who wouldn’t be awkward whining, but she’s also an idol who debuted 4 years ago. She spent almost half of her teen years as a f(x) member, and, regardless of age amidst that, she dreamed and gained a resolute attitude and confidence as to what she wants to do.
KRYSTAL: While the road I have to go along from now on is long, and I lack in areas, but I do have some greed in wanting f(x) to be acknowledged for our musical color. Our music has a lot of aficionados, but I want to let people, who don’t listen [to our music] because it’s convoluted, know that there are various music in the world.
Thanks to her personality of not changing herself or preferences greatly, Krystal didn’t get swayed to the fast changes and flow of the entertainment industry. Trying to find her own rhythm, take a step away from the center of the entertainment and find composure, Jessica has been retaining an inherent color of receiving love from anyone, while seeming similar to someone, yet different. If their names are called together, rather than individually, that good energy will increase and draw in a greater joy. Before leaving the studio, Krystal added one more thing.
KRYSTAL: People say my sister and I are really different, but there probably is a similarity as we are sister. Looking alike yet different, but being similar is a charm as well.

its that why you're taking so many breaks since 2012? :') my little heodang <3
sometimes i think jessica doesn't want to stay in this industry anymore and is just staying for snsd/other girls who wants to keep working/contract. she's not really working apart from snsd events and some cfs/photoshoots now...her lv function appearance was almost 2 months apart from her stonehenge fansign. this girl is like ultra busy during snsd promotions and then just takes endless vacations when snsd isn't promoting lol i can totally understand though, girl's been with sm for 13 years already :/ just my opinion
i think that this year is like their sabbatical year. a year not so full for rest after 6 stressful years.
i don't see nothing wrong with it,they deserve it.
well they did not do much in year 2012, too? I actually think IGAB is for them to come back in 2012 year end but due to p$y they have to postpone it to 2013. Is not like whether they deserve it or not (of course they deserve it) but when they're so successful in 2011, they/$M should ride the high and make it more. But $M is like just drop them and do nothing, it is like wasting a golden opportunity to make them king of the kings so to said.
SM needs to promote them more. They need more appearances, events,... in Japan
but the main problem is the language. They NEED to improve their Japanese. Japanese people feel hurt if Korean Idols do not put effort in things like that.
TVeksQ did it right.
ia only soo can speak the language so she can't talk for them all the time, they should have improved their japanese back when they debuted there not now they are already busy and they look tired i don't think they have time for more promotion and language classes.
DA Yeah they're too stretched out now and the girls all have individual activities. SM seems to be trying for Muricka! now. IMO back in 2011 when Soshi was on fire in Japan I don't understand why SM didn't strike while the iron was hot.
If SM did to Soshi what they did with TBigAssQue, which is to stay in Japan, learn the language , attend variety shows to show off their amazing personalities, talk shows, events and promote good music or catchy music. They would be HUGE right now. I mean they sold 1 000 000 albums just with a tour back then. IMO SM missed out on a massive opportunity to rake in A LOT of cash and Soshi would've near the top.
Too late now with Hallyu dieing and the girls not being able to speak.
i wish they'd stop with this concurring america obsession and focus on other thing, like giving the others a chance to be in a subunit and show their skills or produce songs with better quality that can be a hit not just with sones. because even though japan is over the hallyu wave i believe if sm gave the girls good songs they can still be big the
If $M wants girls tp be global artist.
give them GOOD SONG/HIT SONG with GOOD QUALITY and do not forget with UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
hey gays has anyone had any experiences/heard any feedback about the packages smtown travel offer? Worth it? Well Organised? Being an Melb!fan i doubt i'll ever get to see the girls here, so was considering the option of seeing them that way?? thanking you kindly in advance for any thoughts (I recognize this probably belongs in the chat thread but thought it might get more feedback posted here - Sorry)

they will all flop is the states. I don't think anyone who truly likes them would want them to promote in america. It's embarassing and useless. America doesn't like a group who's full of asians, whether its boys or girls. There's no diversity
So realistic u so right
btw, if they half korean half american. maybe state will be love them, but still depends of the song or hit song

yeah i don't want them to ever promote there they'll just destroy everything they worked for like wg, they faded after they tried america and failed. they have so much potential i hate sm.
The purpose of japan activity is concert tour. Japan artists release singles for their concert repertoire.
soshi and other Korean artists can hold concert tours even more frequently and larger than most of japan artists. their Japan activities have reached a plateau.

but, i want them to promote in the US
maybe they can be famous as p$y
DA g@ngn@m style is famous, p$y isn't. lbr most americans consider him as a clown.
It's possible for the girls to become really successful in the US if they release a new single that'll go viral. A great song with great choreography and a great MV.
The entire album too I suppose. Plus the girls need to work on their English a little more.

relax, it was just me observing the mood ;p I wasn't trying to shitstirr, so please do not feel offended (if you're offended, I apologize, it was not my intention)

If the song is good then a lot of people will like it
that is why Taeyeon keeps on writing sweet things to sones. I guess she's aware of snsd's stagnation since 2012
hmm.. do you mean she afraid not famous anymore or sone will leave them away
not of not being famous amymore... but yes. I mean Sones are just human as well. You can't expect them all to just sit around wait forever for them to come back. Sones and (k)sones want to see them regulary. Distance makes the heart grow fonder... but there are other groups who're younger, fresher and more active.
