Girls’ Generation reveals initial teaser images for rest of the members

Although the image teasers were originally scheduled to be revealed one by one, Girls’ Generation has just recently gone ahead to reveal the initial teaser photos through their special Naver event page as well as Facebook, as they were all unfortunately leaked earlier.

The beautiful ladies have already pre-released a track they recorded back in 2008 called “Dancing Queen“, which is a remake of “Mercy” by Duffy, along with its music video earlier, which included snippets of the new images of the girls we can expect to see in 2013.

So while we all try to wait patiently for January 1st for the release of ‘I Got a Boy‘, check out the initial teaser photos of the other seven members below! (Check out Seohyun‘s here and Hyoyeon‘s here, if you missed it!)

Yoo Seung Ho has decided to enlist in the military.

According to his agency, Yoo Seung Ho has decided that ‘I Miss You‘ would be his last project before enlisting.

He will be enlisting in early 2013, and will be enlisting not as an entertainment solider but as a regular solider. Yoo Seung Ho will be 19 next year, and has decided to join his fellow 19-year-olds in enlisting in the military. After ‘I Miss You’ ends, he will be taking a short break before enlisting.

His agency added, “He has a strong will to fulfill his role as a member of Korea’s youth before being an actor. ‘I Miss You’ will be his last project that he can meet viewers with before his enlistment. It will be a meaningful project for him, so he will be working even harder“.

Hwayoung in discussion to sign with MS Team Entertainment to pursue an acting career

Hwayoung, former T-ara member, is said to be in the midst of finalizing her contract with a new agency!

Apparently, according to entertainment industry insiders, Hwayoung is currently getting ready to sign with MS Team Entertainment, the home to actresses Son Ye Jin, Lee Min Jung, and Moon Chae Won.

It seems rather than continuing her path of a musician, Hwayoung has decided to pursue an acting career.
Insiders speculated that this might happen as the former rapper of T-ara is said to have always expressed a wish to try her hands at acting.

Her twin sister, Hyoyoung of 5dolls, is also currently starring in the popular drama ‘School 2013‘, and it seems she might have also influenced Hwayoung’s decision.
A representative of hers commented, “After Hwayoung left Core Contents Media, she’s received love calls from several music agencies… However, she decided that her heart lay more with acting than music, so she set out on her own to look for acting agencies and met with representatives.”

MS Team Entertainment also confirmed, “It is true we met Hwayoung, and we are currently positively reviewing things over.”
