2. Sunny Skillfully Handles Dating Question on Strong Heart

 

On this week’s episode of the SBS show “Strong Heart”, MC Kang Ho Dong directed a question at Sunny asking how many Girls’ Generation members are currently dating.  Sunny artfully responded, “Rather than dating….just…it could be one sided love…it’s under half.”  Then the MC asks Seohyun which of the members she thinks will be first to marry, to which she replied Hyoyeon, Jessica, and Sunny.  This prompted Kang Ho Dong to say, “Then these three are dating right now.”  Sunny handled the subject with ease, showing off her quick wit and variety show skills to give the audience a laugh.  Thanks to 오이사랑싴@soshified.com for the translation.

SONE Picture/Video of the Week

This week’s SONEs of the week are the guys of Boyz Generation, a group of SONEs out of Indonesia.  For their latest cover they pulled off a killer rock remix of “Let it Rain” from Girls’ Generation’s First Japan Album.  Their arrangement gives the song a totally different feel with impressive guitar work and vocals throughout.  The flow from the second verse into the bridge and chorus is smooth with great guitar riffs.  The section coming out of the breakdown into the final chorus was especially strong as well.  ”Let it Rain” was one of my favorites off the First Japan Album, and these guys definitely put their own spin on it and produced a great rock arrangement.  Check out more of Boyz Generation’s covers on their Youtube channel .
