SNSD become surprise air stewardesses on Jeju Island flight

On July 20th, a stewardess on board with SNSD during their flight back from Jeju Island revealed that the girls had thrown a surprise event by joining the stewardesses for the in-flight landing announcement.

She tweeted, “The Jeju-Gimpo Asiana landing broadcast was completed with SNSD today. I wonder if the Chinese passengers knew that they hit jackpot.”

The girls were said to have watched the stewardesses give their live in-flight announcements while in their seats, and enjoyed themselves so much that the stewardesses suggested throwing a surprise event by asking them to join. Sooyoung and Tiffany both guided passengers in Korean and English before the flight landed.

It wasn’t until the end that passengers found out that the voices actually belonged to SNSD. The tweet continued, “SNSD was following along with the live passenger briefing and even began dancing, leading maknae Seohyun to blush. They were all so pretty, they were like candy for my eyes for the hour we were with them.”

A representative of SM Entertainment said, “It is true that the SNSD members were on that plane, but we didn’t know about the surprise event. We hope that the passengers enjoyed it.”
