Sunny's "RIO 2" Interview with MAX MOVIE Magazine May 2014

Q: Do you watch animated movies often?
Sunny: Yes, I really love animated movies. Recently, I watched Up again!

Q: This is your second time dubbing after Koala Kid. Because you have done it before, was it a bit easier?
Sunny: Honestly, dubbing feels different, hard and new every time. The director of dubbing, Won Bin Park, is the one who produced many of the animated movies of my childhood. To help me understand, he mentioned his previous works, and I was so excited that those were what I watched as a kid. That’s why I trusted him totally. When I first dubbed, I wasn’t as confident, and I worried a lot. This time, I tried my best to do what the director told me to. 

Sunny, Very Strong…”Girls’ Generation is Strong.”

Girls’ Generation’s Sunny dubbed as Jewel, the blue parrot in animated film “Rio 2.” In prequel “Rio,” Jewel met another blue parrot Blue. In “Rio 2,” Jewel becomes Blue’s wife, having three kids. Even though it is just dubbing, “girl” Sunny started to act characters that are married. Girls’ Generation already had 7 years since their debut.

Girls' Generation's 'Mr.Mr.' Music Video surpassed 15 million views

On the 28th, SMTOWN's Official Youtube Channel released 'Mr. Mr'. Music Video. Currently, the music video surpassed 15 millions views. Despite the accidental loss of their original data, which forced Girls' Generation's comeback to delay the initial schedule, after its establishment, it subsequently gathered countless buzz and attention from the fans worldwide. 

Girls' Generation Celebrates White Day on Yoo HeeYeol's Sketchbook

MC HeeYeol, known also as sentimental pervert (감성변태), greeted the girls with enthusiasm. He suggested that the girls to introduce themselves like they had done in the past. The girls happily introduced themselves in their old nicknames like the kid leader Taeyeon, Ice Princess Jessica, and so on. The MC asked if these introductions are a bit embarrassing, and whether they would like to change them now. He directed the question to Taeyeon specifically, but she answered that she would like to hear more of “kid leader.”

Tiffany continued to comment that Taeyeon is now known more as the pervert, and the MC, having a nickname of pervert himself, eagerly asked if Taeyeon likes teasing other members. Then Jessica points out that it is Sunny who teases and pulls pranks at members. When he asked Sunny why, she replies “How can one restrain when all these pretty girls are around me?” which was greeted with general agreement from the audience and the MC.

The MC asks how it is to be a senior in the Korean music industry, and Jessica replies that there are less seniors around and more juniors to come and say hello to them. He continues to ask them about whether the members are interested in composing their own music, and Sooyoung replies that as she writes lyrics, she wants to compose the melody appropriate to her lyrics. By a show of hands, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Yuri and Sunny are now composing new songs. The MC asks who Yuri would like to give her composed song, and she answered she would like to give Sung Si Kyung, but it is more likely that he would refuse.

A new corner called “Green Light” is then continued, where the girls will listen to examples of guys’ behaviors and actions, and give the “green light” to a potential relationship. For Hyoyeon, an example of a guy texting late at night was given, and she replied that it looks like a green light, adorably adding that she doesn’t go to bed till very late, and asking to be texted as well. For Jessica, an example of a guy, accidently bumping his legs under the table they’re sitting together at, and keeping his legs there, where she gives a green light as well. She adds also that it’s either he’s interested in her or he’s a pervert.

Sunny was asked if this is a green light when she changes her profile pic or updates her status in SNS and this guy asks her about them, to which she replied yes. Taeyeon was asked whether this is a green light or not if a guy unnecessarily whispers things in her ears, when he could just say them out loud, and she replied it depends. Yuri was asked if it’s a green light when a guy constantly says to her, “you are really slow.” She cleverly replies “That’s what the members say to me all the time!”

Most interesting was when they reached Yoona and Sooyoung. Yoona was asked whether it is a green light if a guy who was her senior for a long time constantly says that she is his ideal type. The audience applauds and as she smiles, she holds up a green light. Sooyoung was asked if a guy who goes to the same church keeps introducing her to his friends, and she replied it could be either, since he might be asking her because she seemed bored. Out of all the interviews and shows so far, it was the most subtle way of asking them about their private life.

Unaired parts include: 1) Seohyun was asked of a guy constantly sending game requests, and instead of answering if this behavior is a green light, she determinedly said she does not like his behavior, reflecting our ideal mobumseng maknae. 2) my favorite songs of my own as Taeyeon’s Goodbye, Sunny’s Kissing You, Tiffany’s Let’s Talk about Love, Jessica’s Genie, Hyoyeon’s Boys & Girls, Yoona’s Complete, Yuri’s Dear Mom, Seohyun’s Into the New World, and Sooyoung’s Baby Baby. They all sing small parts from the songs, and Jessica and Hyoyeon couldn’t remember some of the lyrics of their parts. 3) While talking about composing, Sooyoung wants to give her song to Sistar, either Hyolin or Soyou. However, she would like to give SNSD first. She was asked if she gives it to one of the members as their solo singles, and she was hesitant because she thought her composition can’t be that good to be fought over by GG members. MC HeeYeol asks Hyoyeon if she wants it, and she said she would have to listen to the song before considering.
