SNSD and SHINee at the 2009 Hollywood Bowl

It’s the 2009 Korea Times Music Festival aka Hollywood Bowl and SM Town’s pride, SNSD and SHINee, are there to make the event a little exciting.

SHINee arrived yesterday, only a day before the festival. Guess they won’t have much time to roam around. But with their 2nd minialbum coming up, they probably don’t have time to relax or even rest. Poor boys. Anyway, here’s a few fancams taken at the Wilshire Grand Hotel – where everyone’s staying.

American S♥nes are in for a disappointment though as only eight SNSD members (again!) will be attending this year’s bowl. Yoona has prior acting commitment so she can’t come.

According to reports, Jessica and Tiffany arrived in LA last Tuesday while the other 6 members arrived this Thursday morning. The two – who studied in the States before – went there earlier to have a chance to meet up with old friends and relatives.

Unlike SHINee, there isn’t a single picture or fancam of the girls. How is it possible that they’ve been in LA for a few days now and yet there are no pic updates? Accordingly, fans were told that the managers didn’t seem to allow it. Guess SM is being sneaky and careful to probably avoid another “unpleasant incidents” just like the last time. Oh well, guess we’ll just have to wait for updates after the festival’s over.
