150411 Fans speculate if Jessica was meant to be part of 'Catch Me if You Can'

Everyone knew that Girls' Generation's comeback wouldn't be a quiet one, but some fans are now wondering if former member Jessica was originally meant to be part of their latest song, "Catch Me if You Can."

In the clip shown above, a netizen upload a clip of Jessica singing the line, "My heart," and compares it to that of the Girls' Generation members singing the same words in the official release. Although the line is short and generic, fans took notice that Jessica sang it in a similar fashion as the Girls' Generation members, generating speculation if she was meant to originally be a part of the song. As Jessica's clip was taken from her summer 2014'OnStyle' mini-series 'Jessica & Krystal,' fans wonder if "Catch Me if You Can" was originally meant to be released much earlier, but was delayed after Jessica was asked to leave the group.

Some commentators stated, "I knew it, when I was watching the MV... I knew that YoonA's lines must have been Jessica's before.... I knew it was her line...," "YoonA's 'I'm going to find my heart' was definitely Jessica's line before. SM never gave YoonA a high note like that," and, "LOL Jessica's clip was broadcasted somewhere between July and August 2014.... So they already started making the single since last year? Damn.... Please put Jessica back in group NOW."

What do you guys think? Are fans looking too much into it or is it a possibility?

150410 SNSD's Sunny promises 'Catch Me If You Can' gets better with each listen

Although some fans are tilting their heads at uncertainty regarding Girls' Generation's new EDM track, "Catch Me If You Can," Sunny assured that it only gets better the more you listened to it!

On the April 10 airing of MBC radio program, 'Sunny's FM Date,' she played their new song and said, "You need to keep listening to it for it to grown on your ears. As you need to listen to it more before you come to a judgment about it, I put on Girls' Generation's 'Catch Me If You Can.'"

She humorously added, "I look different in the MV than I do here," as she looked comfortable in casual clothes rather than hot construction-worker-inspired outfits. Still looking good, Sunny! No worries.

150410 SNSD's Hyoyeon graces the cover of Hong Kong magazine, 'Me!'

Girls' Generation's rising star fashionista, Hyoyeon, graced yet another magazine cover recently, this time proving her global status by posing for Hong Kong magazine, 'Me!' She uploaded pictures to share with her fans onto Instagram.

She looks like a sexy live action version of The Flintstones with her cute green top that says she's so chic, she's prehistoric chic. Whatever that means. Regardless, she's rocking that lovely green color and looking like a blonde bombshell with her gorgeous locks swept away from the face in a messy updo.

She also shares a picture of what appears to be a scan from the magazine of herself in a sexy red dress with a slit up the side to reveal some more leg. The whole time, she gazes with intensity into the camera.

Sooyoung might be making some SONEs' dreams come true!

Rumors of a subunit named 'SHY' - consisting of the dancers Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, andYuri - have been floating around for a possible debut this year, and Sooyoung seems to have just added more fuel to the rumors!

In her latest Instagram post, she took videos with Hyoyeon and Yuri and wrote, "-Am I the only one in the view? (Immediate pretending to be hopping cutely) - Is this a video?? - Hahaha He! Haa! #SHY #catchGG #D-3". It's the #SHY tag that caught the fans' attention, and hopefully her use of the tag means that the subunit will actually be happening.

150402 SNSD's Sooyoung shares a photo from Girls' Generation's 'Catch Me If You Can' MV filming

150401 [EXCLUSIVE] [MV Review] Girls' Generation - 'Catch Me if You Can'

On April 1, an SM Entertainment insider source came to visit the new allkpop office located in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. After some fried chicken lunch, afternoon tea, cookies (all the cookies), and other pleasantries, the insider gave a screening of "Catch Me if You Can.

To get fans pumped, SM has requested allkpop to provide an MV review ahead of its release. allkpop, in consideration of our readers, was more than happy to oblige.

The MV definitely strays from Girls' Generation's usual style. Although the girls look gorgeous and glammed up as usual, their outfit changes are sporadic, random, and 100% made of pure awesome. Wearing baggy pants and white tops against a dingy set in one scene, they quickly switch things up and can be seen dancing in pastel-colored, chiffon skirts up in the clouds. In yet another scene, the girls come back down to earth as hipsters of New York City, complete with big glasses, beanies, and plaid shirts. Jumping from place to place, the girls prove that they can rock any style they choose all over the world.

I was also impressed by the effects used throughout the MV. The CGI was especially amazing. If you thought the cat in Red Velvet's "Ice Cream Cake" was random, wait until you see the CGI-ed rainbow-haired unicorn chewing on a cloud like it's cotton candy (although our insider insists the unicorn was completely real). They even make use of the unicorn, integrating it into their choreography as they slide down its back for a sweet new dance move--the rainbow butt slide. A unique alternate to all the sexy, butt-utilizing dances out there. The random, CGI sweet potatoes that Seohyun starts chasing at the very end also added an adorable touch to the visually intense MV.

Overall, I enjoyed the MV theme of being in a chase as it correlates well to the song's challenging and coy title, "Catch Me if You Can." Whether it's the camera chasing the girls across the globe or the girls chasing random things themselves (Seohyun and sweet potatoes FTW), the MV really embodies the concept of always being in pursuit of something. Although there isn't much of a story to the concept, it is definitely different from SM's infamous "dancing-in-a-box" MVs and will leave SONEs baffled at first, yet happy with the outcome. Ten out of ten. If not for the girls, then at least for that adorable unicorn!

Make sure to also keep an eye out for the 4:01 mark in the MV. Although we're not allowed to spoil the exact surprise for you, let's just say, you'll be completely blown away! Stay tuned.

150217 SNSD's Yuri becomes a yoga instructor in still cuts for Lunar New Year special variety 'Star With Two Jobs

As reported earlier, Yuri will be starring in the Lunar New Year special variety airing soon, 'Star With Two Jobs'. It seems for her 'second job', Yuri will be taking on the role of a yoga instructor.

During the filming, she conducted her class titled 'Yuri's healing yoga that purifies the body and soul', with non-celebrity yoga students. She showed off her flawless technique and toned figure as the instructor, but apparently this proved to work against the focus of her students as one remarked, "The instructor is so pretty that I can't focus on the class," bringing laughs on set.

'Star With Two Jobs' also features Ki Tae Young, Lee Bon, Brian, Cho Dal Hwan, andRainbow's Jaekyung.

150227 SNSD's Sooyoung is 'ignored' by her Girls' Generation members + fans get upset over use of the number 8

Sooyoung recently tattled on her fellow Girls' Generation members, showing a screenshot of the group's KakaoTalk chat room where the girls ignore her messages. The scandal!

It's all a joke of course. In the picture shown, Sooyoung can be seen asking her fellow members in a cute way, "Guys, whatcha doin?" She adds an emoji before saying, "Who wants to play with me?" These initial messages were sent around 2:46 PM, but the '2' marks shown next to her talk bubble indicate that five members saw her message and chose not to reply.

At this, Sooyoung sends another message and emoji around 3:20 PM saying, "Guys." The '5' mark next to that talk bubble indicates that two members saw this message as well. Looks like Sooyoung didn't get a response quickly enough though, as she writes in her Instagram caption, "There is no response from you guys... (sigh). #whatareyoudoing #guys #cometome #ppyong #whoarethetwopeople #thereplycame #itsTaengoo(Taeyeon) #ofcourseyou'realsoabum."

Don't worry, the ignore-age wasn't real. After pouting over her members' lack of response, Sooyoung revealed in her next Instagram update that Taeyeon eventually did respond.

In the picture below, Taeyeon greets with, "Did you adjust to the time difference yet?" At this Sooyoung perks up and responds, "Ah!! Nice to meet you. It's a person. I already did." Taeyeon jokes back, "Hi, call me homebody...."

Sooyoung writes in this Instagram caption: "She replies like this. #homebody2 #timedifference #afterthisastormofreplies #yoona'ssurvivalreport #tiffany'sbikini #yuriasusual #youwanttoseethemdon'tyou #hahakhak #I'mnotgoingtoshowyou."

Seems like Sooyoung had a moment of boredom and wanted her fellow members to entertain her. While some found this post humorous, others couldn't help but focus on the number at the top of the KakaoTalk chatroom--'Soshi (short for Girls' Generation) <3 8,' which reveals how many participants are in the chat room.

Instagram comments include, "8...," "Why are you showing us '8' TT. Stop referring to it. Don't mention '8'!" and, "8 is enough. I don't need any more. It's already 2015; OT9 stans please wake up."

Looks like Jessica won't be forgotten from SONE's own "Soshi" conversation for a very, very long time.

150320 SNSD's experiences an accident while rehearsing for 'SMTOWN' in Taiwan

A video of Girls' Generation rehearsing for their upcoming 'SMTOWN Live World Tour IV'concert in Taiwan is sparking concern among some fans as it features a few members getting into a minor accident.

In the clip above, the girls can be seen rehearsing their sweet, classic tune, "Kissing You."Around the 1:25 mark, members Seohyun, Hyoyeon, and another member--speculated to be Tiffany--can be seen climbing onto a blue platform. The platform then carries the three out into the audience seats, where the fans would be. Around the 2:50 mark, however, the staff appears to have trouble deciding where to place the platform next. The platform jerks forward, causing Hyoyeon and Tiffany to lose their balance and Seohyun to fall over.

Although it doesn't seem as if Seohyun or any of the girls were seriously injured (thankfully), fans have commented negatively on the video, remarking that the staff should take better care of the girls' safety. Some comments include, "[Whoever's] operating that cart [should] be careful," "WTF staff?" and, "Hope Seohyun is alright."

In other news, the 'SMTOWN Live World Tour IV' is scheduled to take place in Taiwan on March 21 at the Hsinchu County Stadium. Hopefully the staff gets the platform thing sorted out so the girls can perform safely by then!
