[News] Fans Celebrate Seohyun's Birthday with Newspaper Advertisement

A birthday advertisement from fans for girl group Girls' Generation's youngest member, Seohyun, has been garnering attention. On June 28th, Girls' Generation's representative fan cafe "Cistus" posted an advertisement for Seohyun's 20th (21st) birthday in Sports Seoul. The "oppa" and "samchon" fans from the fan cafe came together to express their heartfelt emotions to Seohyun on her special day.


Translation of the advertisement:
We wonder how you're doing.
It's been a while since we've seen each other.
If you're healthy
If you're always smiling
As these wonderous and sad times go by
Your birthday has come once again.

When we're serious
Looking to learn something
Or being modest, we miss you.

Knowing we will get to see you soon
It's true that we are even more anxious.

Our hearts flutter thinking of our days to come.
Be prepared for the day we pour out the cheers and love
we could not give to you, even if we wanted to.
We have become thankful for being able to give that much.

June 28th is..

The 21st birthday of Girls' Generation's maknae 'Seohyun'
Who always makes smiles appear on fans' faces.
We put our hearts, that are loving, missing,
and waiting for Girls' Generation and 'Seohyun', forward..
And sincerely wish you a happy birthday.

"Cistus" fan cafe's manager expressed his unconditional support for the girls by stating, "All Girls' Generation members have become adults now, and even though they will be turning older in the coming years, they will always be girls to us fans."

Seohyun's fan club celebrated her birthday by dubbing the day "Hyun Tan Jeol", which in essence means celebrating the day Seohyun entered the world.

Meanwhile, Girls' Generation is continuing their Japan Arena Tour Concert, and will be performing on the 28th and 29th in Yoyogi, Japan.

[Interview] Seohyun's interview for Sport Korea's 7th Anniversary

In conjunction of Seohyun’s birthday and also Sports Korea’s 7th anniversary, an interview with SNSD’s maknae was conducted. Here is the content of the interview:

SK: First of all, happy birthday.

Seohyun: Thank you. Happy birthday to Sports Korea too.

SK: Do you know there is a special bond between yourself and Sports Korea?

Seohyun: I was surprised to hear about that in the past. I think the reason is because Sports Korea always writes good articles. Haha.

SK: How did you feel?

Seohyun: I thought that this is the kind of fate we wanted. In the future, please watch over me. Am I being too serious? Haha.

SK: We made a collection of articles from SNSD’s debut to the present day. We want to give you this as a birthday gift.

Seohyun: Wah! It’s first time I’ve seen this. (silently read the articles for some time) This is something new as I used to only see this on the internet. You’re really giving this to me! This is an unforgettable birthday gift. I have to show this to my unnies.

SK: It feels as if this is the first individual interview you had after debut was yesterday.

Seohyun: That’s right. Then, I knew nothing. I didn’t know what to talk about and what kind of article will be produced.

SK: (Points at the article) seeing your appearances during debut, how do you feel about it? Do you feel shy or feel like hiding?

Seohyun: Not at all. The bangs made me look really cute. It’s good to look at my old appearance again.

SK: In the past, you mentioned in an interview that you would like to act in a Japanese drama.

Seohyun: I still have that dream now. I was into ‘Nodame Cantabile’ last time and recently I’m interested in ‘Glow of The Fireflies’. I hope there will be a day when I get to act in a Japanese drama.

SK: At that time, you have not embarked on your Japanese activities. Looking at these articles, it seemed as if SNSD’s advancement to Japan was predicted.

Seohyun: Haha. That’s awesome. It was a dream that became a reality. Although we worked hard to achieve that goal, i think people around us also helped us. The name ‘Girls’ Generation’ itself contains a dream, right? It’s none other than establishing an era where girls’ shine in the whole world. From ‘Girls’ Generation’ to the time when it becomes ‘Grandmothers’ Generation’, let’s do it together.

SK: When was your most memorable moment?

Seohyun: It was during our first broadcasted performance where I stood with the members on stage and we cried. I thought it was finally the day we show ourselves to the world after the hardships we endured during the trainee days. I think I will never forget those moments. Looking at the past interview, I felt amazed and decided that we should not forget about our original intentions. However, unknowingly, there have been changes among us bit by bit. That is what I’m afraid the most. I’ll try to stay the same always.

SK: Recently, there were a lot of talks about the concert in Paris. Is the Korean Wave a reality?

Seohyun: Yes, definitely. Due to the continuous efforts by the seniors, it seems that the Korean Wave are getting the attention now. We don’t think it’s something that comes out of a sudden. I think we are lucky that we are carrying out our activities now. We also have to be sensitive to the responsibility at hand. We have to open the path now so that in the future, others can embark on their overseas activities more successfully.

SK: What is the individual work that is memorable to you?

Seohyun: I did a duet with Joo HyunMi sunbaenim. It’s because she is someone my parents like. I could not believe I had a chance to do a duet with her and I was really nervous. She held my hand throughout our performance and that was how I was able to complete it. Thinking about it now, I’m really thankful to her.

SK: Since you debuted at a young age, are there any complications?

Seohyun: The difficult part is that every single action or issues, even if it’s really a small one, people would take notice. I have to be very careful with anything I do. Now that I’m used to it, I feel very thankful even if someone take a small interest in me.

SK: It’s Sports Korea’s 7th anniversary. Would you like to say something?

Seohyun: It’s always nice meeting reporters from Sports Korea. Are you going to be hardworking and trustworthy? Please give us good articles in the future. How about always giving good news about SNSD too? Greetings to you all. Please stay tune.

[Picture] Girls' Generation Spotted at English Village

Yoona
Just two days after their much talked about performance at Hanyang University, members of Girls' Generation were spotted at an English Village in South Korea earlier today. Pictures of Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun quickly surfaced, and the girls were found dressed in the same yellow outfits they wore for their "MR. TAXI" music video.

SHINee's Key was also found alongside the girls in one the pictures. Though the purpose of their visit to the English Village is still unclear, many are already waiting in anticipation and making their own guesses.
