Warning: Excessive amounts of hugging, tears, handholding, and WAFF below.
Even TaeYeon cried at the GDAs. You can see her delicately wiping away tears later in this SeoHyun fancam. It's also incredibly cute to see how excitedly TaeYeon, SeoHyun, and HyoYeon reacted to SuJu's winning. Look at them jumping up and down! You'd think they'd won themselves with the way they turned to each other and hopped into each other's arms (more HyoTae! with a side of maknae--seriously, what is up with HyoTae and their kind of cautiously touching each other one-to-one?)! LOL, SeoHyun's like, "Let me see the award! Ok, TaeYeon-unnie, let me see that one. Hold this." TaeYeon trying to get a work out in? And, awww, maknae wiped away her roommie's tears later in the show, reciprocating what Hyo did for her earlier in the night. Check out that huddle they had; SooYoung actually crouched down in the middle of it (and members started pretending to kick her =D)--I wonder if she was leading a group prayer? (Even though I suspect not all of them are Christian, though no doubt the practicing Christians are Tiffany, SooYoung, Sunny, SeoHyun and I'm not sure if there's anyone else.) Ahahaha, YoonA and SeoHyun dancing around in each other's arms. I was actually kind of sad we didn't get awkward SeoHyun-Key interactions, lol.
YoonA fancam, link courtesy of CP. Again, hopping of squee when SuJu won from the other side. Who was the host that she reached out to pat YoonA on the cheek? Here we see YoonA patting away Hyo's tears. =) Aw, it was kind of cute but the way they turned to each other to kind of hide the tears that they couldn't control anymore also induced a strong desire to hug both of them. Hyo got the maknae treatment later in the night. YoonA hug-assaulted by Heechul (that is Heechul, right?)! LOL! Shindong joined their huddle?? That's why Sica and Yul had reacted like that in SeoHyun's fancam! Lots of SooRi in this night, too. It surprised me that I haven't caught any Sunny-Hyo one-on-one hugs. Or fake-out punches.
TaeYeon "Gee" fancam. Not so much heartwarming, but I am amused at TaeYeon's expression of faint embarrassment and amusement in the beginning. Also, I was a fan of that transition between "Chocolate Love" and "Gee." Mmm, hips that don't lie. There's also the
"Chocolate Love" TaeYeon fancam (from a different cameraman), in which I conclude that TaeYeon does need to put more hips into things. But she just said that she's been having cold symptoms for the past four days and that it's finally gotten to her? That's what happens when you have an
until-3AM after party!
YoonA during the end of the ceremony fancam. Who was asking for Hyo-Ondubu? Was that him directing a comment to her at around 1:43ish? Sunny and YoonA's hug. =D Yay, group bow at the end, with hands clasped. What luck that Hyo was standing next to Yoong! LOL, this is how I get my Hyo fancam fix: through Hyo being strategically positioned in other fancams. Who are the people hugging Yoong 3:51ish? SM Staff?
Fancam of all of SNSD as SuJu is announced the winner of the Daesang Disk Award. Seriously, it's like they won. Look at their reaction: jaw-dropping, jumping, hugging. I'd advise people not to go jumping around in heels.
SeoHyun "Smooth Criminal" fancam. Whatever other thoughts occurred to me, I LOL'd at the popping part at 0:39ish because all I could think about was that little dorky bit between Hyo and Seobaby on ChinChin bora where Seo was trying to pop. I thought the exact same thing here as I did then: Hyo needs to give SeoHyun better popping lessons. LOL. But look at how diligently Seobaby runs around to pick up the hats so that they can clear the stage.
TaeYeon ending fancam. The group bowing to the audience. =D
TaeYeon during the ceremony fancam. Being a dork. My favorite part was seeing YoonA have to lean over so much in order to hear whatever TaeYeon wanted to whisper into her ear. I will never get tired of the height differences in this group!
YoonA during the ceremony fancam. By f(x) fans! LOL, seeing SooYoung beside Yoong, I thought, "Ah, no surprise that she's eating." Whoa, check out how sparkly Sunny's eye make up is and, later, YoonA's. AHAHAHA, I like how they were all trying to fan away the fog effect.
Yoona ready to exit Golden Disk fancam. All YoonSic. =D LOL, look at Sica crack up. YoonA seems impressed with her own cleavage--or maybe she's confused as to why she's wearing a leather bustier . . . that's slipping.
Yoona Ending Golden Disk fancam. The maknaes hanging out together at the end. There's just way too much going on all around them, but I did LOL at the Sunny-Tiffany-SooYoung handholding train moving by in the background.
TaeYeon during the ceremony fancam--another one. LOL, that look she gave SooYoung! What was that? "What are you talking about, crazy woman?"? I don't know but her blank reaction made me laugh. LOL, what was she demonstrating with that wine glass?
Siska gifted me with the
TaeYeon fancam of AWESOME and by awesome I mean HYOTAE. I
spazzed at siska below all about the HyoTae we got (this is like a year's worth for them, peoples!). Seriously, though, there are some great moments here between all the members that we didn't get to see in any of the above, I believe. Amazing!
Ikup brought me wonderful things!:
-
"Smooth Criminal" dance fancam. Unfortunately, a camera crane obscures the best part of Hyo's solo and the fancam becomes a YuRi fancam at the end, but haven't we learned by now to take what we can get?
-
SNSD Ending Fancam: finally, what I'd been looking for: a HyoSun moment! And it was an epic moment! At around 2:47ish, you can see Sunny circle around and then capture Hyo in a hug from behind. Then they start grooving--and then they start couple dancing! It was totally like the Gayo Festival where they sang "I Don't Know What Love Is Yet" and they were dancing together in the background while other people performed. Awesome~~ Maybe it's the fact that HyoYeon is actually taller for once, but Sunny and Hyo fall into dance grooves where Hyo tends to take the lead. It's cute. They don't spontaneously burst out into dance as often as SooYoung and Hyo, but they tend to dance with each other more (slap!dance, anyone?). HyoSun~~ Anyway, there's a crap ton of other things going on in this fancam, but I'm satisfied with that little gift.
Anon left me
another "Smooth Criminal" fancam with more of a head-on perspective. Passersby block the view and at one point we lose some camera-focus, but this is a much wider, better, high quality look at the whole performance. I'm still gonna say that the SDB performance of this piece was fiercer in energy and attitude. Thanks, Anon!
I'll put up more as I find them--or as you throw them at me! The GDAs were a great accomplishment for the girls; the impression I got is that they've got a great amount of prestige attached to them. You can tell they felt honored and accomplished.
(For more pics, go raid soompi or SSF. It's ridiculous!)
Somewhat unrelated, but an Anon hyoyeonfan below linked me to a
sosiz post where Hyo is getting some love. The OP says that they're putting together a Hyo Series. From a quick scan, the comments seem to generally range from saying that they enjoyed this post, that Hyo is cute and funny (with many directed at specific pics/captions), and that people look forward to seeing more. =) I see a comment in there about Hyo and something about her handphone/cell phone during the Starbucks cafe event, but Google Translate is giving me gibberish. *sigh* /foreign language fail
