[News]How much will be SNSD's personal collectibles be worth?




The auction date for SNSD's personal collectibles is nearing.

From 23rd October, SNSD's outfits from 'Chocolate Love' MV had been put up for auction. The proceeds from this auction will go to helping needy children around the world.

SNSD's auction had brought in much interest because the member's individual popularity will be especially evident in the bidding. Currently, Yoona is leading with 8060,000 Won (~USD$8060) offered, with Tiffany in the 2nd with 7000,000 Won (~USD$7000). Taeyeon, who is popular among the male fans had not fared as well as what everyone believed. Taeyeon came in 3rd, behind Yoona and Tiffany with 6440,000Won (~USD$6400).

The skyrocketing prices for SNSD's lead to concerns by many. The prices increase rapidly at the start as the fans of individual members were actively bidding to "prove each member's popularity", making it difficult for the winner to pay the high price when the bidding ends.

[News]SNSD CF Music faced with Plagiarism Controversy





SNSD CF Music faced with Plagiarism Controversy

A Japanese blog had stated that the music used in SamYang Ramen CF with SNSD had infringed copyrights. The background music in this CF is similar to the one used in the hit Japanese game "Bubble Bobble".

The advertisers had responded to this claim that they had received permission to use this music and had paid for the use of the music to the original owner of the "Bubble Bobble" track.

But as the blogger had not checked out the facts right before publishing this piece widely, it had lead to Korean and Japanese netizens started a verbal war online.

An official had expressed sadly that "Its absurd. The CF had received permission to use the music." and that "The Japanese blogger had mistaken".

The SamYan Ramen CF had been filmed with the concept of "Friends Ramen, SamYang Ramen". SNSD members used the '보글보글' song and the '보글보글' dance to chase away boredom in the CF. The interesting yet easy to catch on lyrics in the '보글보글' song by SNSD had created interest among public.
