Let's start off your week with some Girl's Generation (SNSD)

The female singer's, Jessica, nickname is 어름공주 "ice princess" so the song is about someone who like a person that gives off a cold personality. I don't know but she/he still likes that kind of person (널 보면 너무나,또 다시 봐도 너무나, 차디차 몸이 떨려 냉면냉면냉면 질겨도 너무 질겨 냉면냉면냉면, 그래도 널 사랑해)
