Taeyeon Leaves for ‘Athena’ Concert in Japan

Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon was recently seen leaving Korea through Gimpo International Airport for the KBS 2TV drama “Athena” concert in Japan on the morning of January 6th.

 

“Athena: Goddess of War” debuted in Japan on November 30th. Taeyeon had sung the title song for the OST for “Athena”, called “I Love You”, and will be performing it at a special event to help promote the drama.

Especially notable in the picture taken of Taeyeon at the airport is the huge stuffed toy she is seen carrying, called “dukong”. This is not the first time Taeyeon has been seen carrying the Dukongs around, revealing her love for the stuffed toy. The toys were first seen in a selca of Taeyeon, which led to fans giving her many of the toys during events such as concerts. After receiving the dukong at each concert, Taeyeon has been seen publicly displaying her joy by excitedly waving the toy around.

Hyoyeon’s Hammer-And-Nail-Job Exceeds Expectations on KBS2 Invincible Youth 2

 

On the episode of KBS2 Invincible Youth 2 that is to be aired on January 7th, the G8 receive a mission in preparations to welcome animals into their family. They are supposed to clean out the village cow shed and build a new one.

For their latest filming, Hyoyeon was very worried that she has to build a shed from scratch, but during construction, she soaked up what the village adults taught her like a sponge. According to the production crew, the fellow G8 members complimented (at the same time poking fun at) Hyoyeon’s unexpected skills by saying, “You work surprisingly well.” In response to this, Hyoyeon said, “I always worked hard, and I was always an extremely great worker, but people just never noticed.” Hyoyeon got excited and worked especially hard when others complimented her, acting like a “choding”(child). Even when she she hit her hand with the hammer, she apparently went and hammered down all the nails for the shed once she heard “you’re good at hammering.”
