Wonder Girls’ Sunye had to see her father pass away during her group’s American tour. After suffering such lost, she decided to continue right away with her activities showing her strong will and determination as Wonder Girls’ leader and receiving praise by staff members during the tour.

On the latest episode of Mnet Made in Wonder Girls, which aired on September 3th, Wonder Girls’ managers and staff members sent heartfelt messages of encouragement to Sunye.

Some of them said,

“She suffered a terrible loss but they way she carried on in order not to worry other people was admirable. She is very mature for her age and like a true leader.”

“When I look at Sunye, I don’t feel as if she is young. She is thoughtful and even though she must have been both psychologically and physically exhausted, the way she put everything into her performances was touching. I want to applaud her.”

Sunye’s father passed away on June 24th, just one day before the start of the second leg of the tour, which would take place in Hawaii. Due to this unexpected event, they were forced to reschedule the Hawaiian concerts and start the tour in Vancouver on June 29th. For some, it might have seemed like it was still too soon for Sunye, but she decided to continue on like a true professional, bringing much joy to her fans and successfully completing Wonder Girls’ first American tour.

Most of the girls from SNSD opted to wear short denim shorts for comfort as the plane ride was set to be around 14 hours. For added comfort, the girls also wore shoes that were easy to slip off during the ride such as sandals, tennis shoes and short heeled boots. Though the girls wore simple tops, their accessories and bright smiles made them stand out.

Read before you react.

Good decision! Because it was just all for Kim HyunJoong‘s newest drama Mischievous Kiss.

On the recent episode of this drama, Jung SoMin‘s character, Oh HaNi, suddenly showed him a photo of the thirteen Super Junior members and proudly named them one by one like a true-(sapphire)blue ELF would. However, HyunJoong’s character, smart and stoic Baek SeungJo, seemed not to recognize the popular idol group or worse, didn’t even show the slightest interest of knowing Super Junior at all!

Watch the short funny clip below.

So don’t worry fans, HyunJoong was just acting it all out! Now, let’s all watch out for how much colder he can get as Mischievous Kiss continues to air every Wednesday and Thursday, 21:55 p.m. KST on MBC.

Super Junior’s Kyuhyun has long since been dubbed as the Evil Maknae, and he continues to show proof in support of this moniker. See Exhibit A below, taken from the ending song in Super Show 3 in Seoul last August 15.

Note as he throws what looks like a stuffed toy (or hopefully something just as soft) to Donghae—twice—and then blasts a special shower to Sungmin and Leeteuk. Evil Kyu indeed.

The lucky fans in Los Angeles can catch more of Kyuhyun’s antics with the rest of his members and labelmates at SM Town World Tour in only a few more hours.
