Other singers’ pre-recordings ended late, so they were at the start of rehearsals when we entered. While they were busy with the rehearsal, they waved and said, “Long time no see!” when they saw fans walking in. Then they continued on with rehearsals.
They were doing ‘gwiyomi!’ (=cutie) during rehearsals, and Tiffany couldn’t do it well. She was practicing by herself, saying it was hard, and she asked fans “Is it ‘is’ or ‘also’?” She was asking if it was “4 + 4 ‘is’ cutie,” or “4 + 4 is ‘also’ cutie.” She said it [the song] really isn’t sticking, and kept practicing.
There wasn’t a lot of time left once rehearsals were over, so the girls said they weren’t going into the waiting rooms. Taeyeon said, “Then I don’t want to go in!” but Seohyun called over the coordi unnie and said she was going to go in. The fans said, “Don’t go!” but Seohyun said in an innocent tone, “There’s somewhere I need to go~” and hopped/ran in. She wore flats again and kept hopping around.
Tiffany’s friend (they said she’s an unnie Tiffany’s known in the States since she was 10) came to the studio today, and, instead of sitting in the MC zone, she sat right next to the fans. Tiffany told Taeyeon to sit there, too, but Taeyeon said you could see the top of her head, ans went, “I don’t want to show the crown of my head!” and didn’t sit.
Taeyeon looked at the fans, greeted the fans who were sitting far away, and asked, “What do fans talk about these days?” The fans didn’t understand so she asked it a few times, saying, “What do fans talk about these days?” and, “What do SONEs talk about these days?” When they said fans talk about their comeback, she said, “Us? Comeback?” and nodded going ‘mmm~’. She asked, “Anything other than talks of a comeback?” The fans said something, but she didn’t understand and just laughed it off.
Then, she told us to be careful not to catch a cold. To be careful not to catch a sinus cold or get a sore throat. When the fans told her to be careful, too, she said she’s okay. She kept saying, “Be careful not to catch a cold~”
When rehearsals were over, before the live broadcast, the studio was quiet, so this was heard clearly. Taeyeon said, “Stay in shape. You have to run soon.” Then she smiled, said, “I’ll work on it (staying in shape). Who am I worrying about,” and smiled again.
When returning from the waiting room, Seohyun came out carrying a large box. At first, I thought she carried an entire makeup box out, but she placed it on her chair and giggled. Turns out it was a snack box.
Seohyun kept saying it was hot. Saying, “It’s hot, it’s hot.” She told the fans she’s really hot, as well as to her coordi unnie. She told her unnies that it’s hot and also said it to the writer unnie.
Seohyun asked, “Did you all eat?” At first, it just seemed like she was asking if we ate, but turns out…..
Taeyeon said something like her mic name tag breaking. It happened when the staff carried and moved it.. As an emergency, they just pushed it back on, but Taeyeon frowned and said something to the PD. Seohyun stood next to her, and, with a smiling face, she acted like she was breaking the name tag in half. Taeyeon was touching her name tag before her first lines because it was broken.
They were getting together to do their first lines, and Seohyun was standing their first. She saw Tiffany walking over and laughed going ‘Hee-‘, and it was really cute. She laughed like how she did during the broadcast, where she and Taeyeon looked at each other doing the ‘Tried To Walk’ part.
When the three gathered, Seohyun extended her hand saying they should do ‘right now is Girls’ Generation’. Tiffany naturally put her hand out, but Taeyeon put out scissors. Tiffany and Seohyun scolded her, asking what she’s doing, but Seohyun took a step forward and put out a rock. After Tiffany got the two to settle, they decided to put their mics together and to it. They put their mics together and did ‘right now is Girls’ Generation~!’
After doing ‘Far Away’, Tiffany and Seohyun monitored them doing it. Seohyun whined saying her foot got in the shot. Being worried about her foot being in the shot. Seems she was embarrassed about it.
Taeyeon said the lines today were short. Seohyun also said they were short today, and that she was sad. She seemed sad saying, “We waited a long time, too~” (not sure if she meant fans waited a long time, or if she waited a long time to MC again) She wrote up to ‘waited~’ in the air, and when it seemed people got the gist of it, she erased it.
Seohyun asked if it was cold outside. When we said it wasn’t, she said it was cold a couple days ago. She wrote ‘two days’ in the air, and used body language to express that it was cold. She said she likes going on walks, so she went out two days ago, but went back inside because it was so cold. Then she suddenly said she wants to go skiing (she acted like she was skiing for this, too). But she said she doesn’t have any time to go, and wrote ‘time’ in the air.
Before the broadcast, when it was quiet, Taeyeon was standing by herself looking at all the fans, and someone asked her if she dyed her hair. Taeyeon asked back, “Why? Does it look pretty?” When the fan said it is, Taeyeon made a really cheeky face, said, “I know~” and posed. She said she dyed her roots.
Someone told Taeyeon that her hair is cute. So Taeyeon pointed at her hair saying, “This hair?” (similar pigtails from SNSD promotions), and did the ‘angtal’ dance a bit (this part from ‘Girls’ Generation’ choreo— http://bit.ly/U5uxL3). She said it was a little cute when they did it while promoting ‘Girls’ Generation’, but that it doesn’t suit them now. It doesn’t suit them because they’re not cute. So the fans told her no, that she’s cute and pretty, but she said she’s turning 25 now. The fans started calling out their own ages, and she said they’re all aging together.
Then they started talking about ages, and someone up front asked how old they looked, and Taeyeon said, “Twenty..” and froze. She was having a hard time answering. Later, the fan told her how old they were, and Taeyeon nodded and said, “You look young~”
Someone from the back row said they’re 19, and Taeyeon said they’re still wet behind the ears (just meaning not mature yet), and snickered.
Someone else said they took their college entrance exams and that they’re turning 20, so Taeyeon called them a baby and went ‘woo jjoo jjoo jjoo jjoo’ (just like, sounds..used to comfort a baby, usually), doing a gesture with both hands.
While talking about age, Taeyeon suddenly said ‘When I was 20’, and started doing ‘ITNW’ choreography. Then for when she was 21 (she showed ‘21’ with her fingers), she was like, “What was it?”, and when the fans said ‘GEE!’, she went, “Ah, GEE!” and did a bit of that choreography. She said 22 was ‘Oh!’ and did that dance, ‘Hoot’ for 23, and she did the arrow dance. She was like, “When I was 24..? ‘The Boys’?”, and after that, “25 for Twinkle!” Then she had a somewhat blank face. She hasn’t even turned 25 yet, but she said ‘25 for ‘Twinkle”. She thought about it for a while, and did it backwards again. 24 for ‘Twinkle’, 23 for ‘The Boys’, 22 for… Even though the fans told her they did ‘Oh!’ and ‘Hoot’ when she was 22, Taeyeon was drowned in her own thoughts, and something must have seemed weird. Then, she went to do the lines and asked Tiffany. Asking, “What [song] did we do when we were 20? When we were 21?”
Seohyun suddenly looked at the fans and asked, “Who is hungry?” Then, she brought the box she left on her seat, showed it to the fans, and it was a snack box. It seemed she intended on giving it to just the hungry people at first, and she handed things out to those who rose their hands. She then told the fans to play rock paper scissors with her. And so the Seohyun show started all of a sudden. Because everyone all started doing rock paper scissors, it must have been hectic for her. She said, “Over here~” and chose a limited section of people to play paper scissors with her. The fans also cooperated; just the fans in the sections she was at would play. She would then limit another section saying, “Next, here~” and start playing again. She told people who changed their hand, lost, or got a tie to put their hands down, and just the ones who won to keep them up. And she really did give just the winners the snacks. She threw them at first, but there were big ones too. She must have felt that she could not throw those, so she handed them to the person in the front, and direct them to pass them to way back to the person who won. And she watched over to make sure that person got it. So when the right person got the snack, they would nod and the next match would start. This went on until the entire snack box was empty.
While playing rock paper scissors and handing out the snacks, the writer unnie grabbed Seohyun’s waist and told her it was time to go do their lines. Seohyun said that she was about to give it so someon
