Oh so that's what he said after the girls performed..
No wonder the set atmosphere suddenly got awkward
The girls' Japanese in The Boys is not that good, but if we listen to their other Japanese songs, their Japanese is actually pretty good. I think it's about the pronunciation, the way they spell Japanese words were terrible there, like how they did in Run Devil Run Japanese version.
It's more than obvious that the girls couldn't get enough time to study Japanese thoroughly, and if I'm not wrong, for title songs and foreign language songs like these, they were mentored/guided by native speakers about the language and they're guided on 'how to sing' the line, what kind of feel to be shown, things like that. If the guide think their pronunciation was terrible, then they had to record that part again. This is based on Hyoyeon's experience when she's recording The Boys English version. She couldn't say the phrase "We born to win" well enough to satisfy the recording staff and then Sooyoung did it for her.
I know the mc was joking (or at least tried to), but yeah it's a bit harsh though. But I hope this experience will make SM re-plan their strategy. Japan is not the only goal for the girls, as they're testing the bigger market's water now. I hope SM won't just recklessly make the girls do something without giving them enough time to get themselves prepared. Well people would still buy their releases, money would flow to SM's pocket, but the girls would get the negative criticism for not being ready. It's unfair for the girls. :/
Yesterday was Tiffany's first FAME public performance~!
Spoiler:
There were many flower wreaths and celebratory rice from colleagues and fans.
Tiffany received total 2441kg of rice from not just Korean Sones but from international Sones as well. One of the pic:
Traditionally, flower wreaths are given to show support, but the fans decided to donate rice so that charity work is given as a show of support. The rice will be given to needy families in the artists' names.
Flower wreath from Sooyoung:
Sooyoung's message: "CarMiyeong, You are always cool to your bones"
(Miyoung is Tiffany's Korean name, and she's acting as Carmen Diaz in the musical lol xDD)
Taeyeon and Sunny attended the performance too
