[03.29.10] SNSD Chosen as Models for Nintendo DSi!

[TodayKorea = Reporter Son Soojung] The girlgroup SNSD has been chosen as the new models for "Nintendo DS Crimson/Black."

Nintendo Korea revealed on the 29th, "We hired SNSD as the campaign models for the portable game console, Nintendo DSi, which is a new model of the series from Nintendo DS Crimson/Black."

For the TV advertisement, Yoona, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Taeyeon, and Yuri are shown actually playing and enjoying the Nintendo DSi in various ways.

Taking pictures with the built in camera on the Nintendo DSi and using the 11 different functions to play around with the photos, the girls used the touch pen to transform their own faces into different forms, or transform their faces into Mario, having a fun time on the shooting set. They especially enjoyed the "Look-alike Camera" function. This allows you to take pictures of two people's faces, and after measuring how much your features look alike, it rates whether you are "strangers", "relatives", or "siblings", and as Yuri and Seohyun were rated as "twins". It said that they looked a lot like each other. Much of the public already know that these two look similar, but when they got this result, the two seemed to be very surprised.

Also, Taeyeon, Yuri, and Seohyun recorded their voices with the built in audio player function, Nintendo DSi Sound. With this, they replayed their voices and were able to speed up or slow down, or change the pitches of their voices, so they had a lot of fun changing each other's voices into odd ways. As they were recording themselves while singing their songs and having fun, they showed their natural, everyday expressions as if they were having their personal time with each other. Just as people have been saying that Sooyoung especially enjoys playing her Nintendo DS usually while travelling between TV program shootings or waiting backstage, she was the first to show interest upon seeing the Nintendo DSi. She was curious as to what features were new and what you could do with these features.

Nintendo Korea said about choosing SNSD as models: "Everybody in Korea of all ages loves SNSD, so by showing them playing with and enjoying the Nintendo DSi, we hope to show that anybody, no matter their age or gender, can enjoy previous games on Nintendo DSi and also use the pictures and sounds to do new things as well."

The TV ads will be slowly revealed starting on March 30th, and there will be videos in the TV ads that you cannot see on the Nintendo Korea homepage.

The Nintendo DSi will hit the stores on April 15th in 4 colours, white, black, blue, and pink.

03.26.10] Lee Hwi Jae is mad at Tiffany?

2010-03-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

Baeksang Art Ceremony's MC Lee Hwi Jae is a bit angry at Tiffany. After the 1st rehearsal,
the mega-pop singers SNSD stepped onto the stage and Lee Hwi Jae followed, trying to find Tiffany.

On stage Lee Hwi Jae acted as if he was waiting for Tiffany and asked her in playful manner,
"Why did you do that to my nephew? My nephew is hurt."

Apparently, Lee Hwi Jae's nephew visited the broadcast station the other day and saw SNSD's Tiffany. He ran toward her with great joy. However, Tiffany who finished her broadcast, didn't really get to greet Lee Hwi Jae's nephew properly.

Then Lee Hwi Jae's nephew ran back to his uncle and told him what happened. Lee Hwi Jae, after hearing his nephew's story, got revenge on Tiffany by giving her playful scolding during rehearsal. Tiffany said in reply, "When you come next time, I'll do better" and said goodbyes, effectively ending this small relationship problem between Lee Hwi Jae's nephew and Tiffany.

translation would state a scolding mixed with cuteness(aegyo).

2010-03-30T07:45:00.000-07:00

As soon as they arrived at work, they searched for the newspaper. They must be determined. As Sports Donga celebrated its two year anniversary, the two have become a 'one-day editor'. They will be editing, organizing, and formatting the entertainment section of the newspaper. The two chosen ones are Super Junior's Leeteuk and SNSD's Tiffany. We gave Tiffany the newspaper from the 23rd. She had a big smile on her face. In a survey done by 100 celebrities, SNSD has been chosen for 'the most popular star of the stars' and decorated the front page. Especially as other celebrities have chosen them, Tiffany seemed really excited and took pictures of the newspaper in various angles. "I sent the photomail to all the members! I have to share this joyful moment!"

▶If I can be a reporter, what would I report on?

When they were notified that editors can become reporters at times, they went into a deep thought. Leeteuk spoke first. "If I had to become a reporter, I would focus on how celebrities invest."

Then, we became curious about how SNSD invests. Tiffany laughed, "All of our members are only saving up right now." Then which member has the most savings? Tiffany quietly said, "Probably me" and slightly winked. She also notified us of her recent donation activities. She did not reveal specific information, but mentioned that it was for the disabled.

"God is not helping me just so that I can live well alone. I also want to be a good example to younger fans..."

▶News told by Tiffany

We inform you of fresh SNSD news!

SNSD has taken over the music industry once again with new image, "Black Soshi". It seems as though they can not be envious of anything, but there was one thing that they envied. The one person that the SNSD members envy is the youngest, Seohyun, who is currently a 'couple' in a variety program.

▷All the members want to marry like Seohyun~

Tiffany stated, "When the members all gather, we only talk about Seohyun. It's just a variety program, but we still can't believe that our youngest is now married, and we're really jealous too. It seems fun being a newlywed."

While watching Seohyun's marriage in MBC's "We Got Married", the SNSD members happily dream about their future lives after getting married. However, the one person that ruins these moments is their manager.

Tiffany laughed, "Our manager oppa said that only Seohyun can pull off that kind of marriage and that we won't be able to live like her."

▶Celebrity and entertainment reporters can sympathize each other!

Leeteuk and Tiffany has experienced the daily life of the employees with the long meetings and article releases. Looking at the certificate given by Sports Donga for their work, Leeteuk showed great enthusiasm about being a reporter.

He stated, "I want to try being an official reporter for at least a couple of days... I have a couple of exclusive news..." and laughed it off. Tiffany suddenly added, "Entertainment reporters have the same mind as celebrities," and showed sympathy. It was a short experience, but it seems as though she learned a lot.

"Like a celebrity can get misunderstood at times, I realized that the reporters can get misunderstood as well. 'I didn't intend to write it like that...' I guess I can say that I am now able to sympathize with the reporters' difficulty."
