Sooyoung Looks the Same Before and After Photoshop
On an online community bulletin board on February 21, two photos were uploaded along with a message, "Sooyoung's pictorial cut and behind-the-scene cut look the same."
In the pictures is group Girls' Generation's Sooyoung wearing an elegant dark suit. The first picture is the edited version from the pictorial, while the second picture is that of Sooyoung taken at the actual photoshoot. What impressed the fans the most was the fact that Sooyoung does not look much different in the two photos. With her lean body and long legs, Sooyoung looks equally beautiful both pictures.
Netizens that saw these pictures admired, "Sooyoung' gorgeous body does not need photoshop," "I don't see any differences," "The behind-the-scene photo could be on the pictorial too."

Weekly K-Pop Music Chart 2013 – February Week 4

The top three songs remain the same as last week. Sistar19's "Gone Not Around Any Longer" repeats as No. 1 for the second straight week with a near perfect score of 989 points, impressively gaining 47 points from last week. It is easily the No. 1 song in Korea right now. It should win again next week as there is not much competition yet. Meanwhile, Bae Chi Gi's "Shower Of Tears" and CNBlue's "I'm Sorry" remains at No. 2 and 3 respectively.
There are three new songs on the chart this week. Debuting just under the top three at No. 4 is Huh Gak's new song "1440." This song is the real title song from his first full length album "Little Giant" and it replaces the preview song "Monodrama" which was in the top 10 the last two weeks. "1440" has a very different style than Huh Gak's past hits which were mainly sad, emotional ballads. Instead, "1440" is a sweet love song about the exciting and delightful feeling that comes with falling in love. The title "1440″ comes from the first line of the song that goes "I think of you 1440 times a day." This song brings out a totally different side of Huh Gak. The music video also stars actor Do Ji Han and A Pink's Oh Ha Young.
The other two new songs are at the bottom of the top 10. Moving up eight spots to No. 9 is "Love Recipe", the title song from Clazziquai's fifth album "Blessed". It is the group's first release in three years. The album again features a wide range of songs from electronic to house and acid jazz. "Love Recipe" is composed by Clazzi and written by Horan herself. It is about the sweetness of falling in love.
Moving up four spots to No. 10 is Seo In Kook's "I Can't Live Because Of You." This is a special project single from Jellyfish Entertainment. It is a sweet love song expresses the honest feelings of a person who has fallen in love. Seo In Kook's sweet voice paired with Verbal Jint's honest rap lyrics add up to a top-notch love song.
