Girls Generation performs at the Dream Concert

Screen cap from their Run Devil Run Performance

Today, May 30th 2010, the Dream Concert was aired in SBS and viewers were able to watch the spectacular concert that almost everyone is waiting for. This is sort of a milestone since it represents the whole k-pop music culture as different performers gather up for the fans while trying to set aside competition and just providing excellent performance for all.

Girls Generation / SNSD is definitely among the most anticipated performers and they did not falter on the fans' expectations and performed their songs Oh! and Run Devil Run. They're probably the best female idol group in South Korea and has always delivered.

Now, we're looking forward to Girls Generation's international promotions which should start around Asia. Oh, and have you seen Yuri doing Run Devil Run choreography during her part in Oh!? :D SNSD fighting!!

Girls Generation tops Asian music charts along with Super Junior

As stated in Universal Records Philippines Official Facebook page, Girls Generation and Super Junior tops Asian charts especially in the Philippines and Thailand. Here in the Philippines, it's no surprise. Girls Generation's music videos have been consistent in music channel countdowns especially in MYX Philippines where Genie, Oh! and Run Devil Run remained in the top spots for weeks and months. And most importantly, it's reflected in their massive album sales in the country.

The launching of locally released Girls Generation albums in the Philippines have been successful and it showed that there is a strong SNSD fan base here in the Philippines. The most recent one was the official Philippine launch of Run Devil Run repackaged album and it was a hit. Fans waited for hours (even before the malls opened) just to be able to buy the new album.

In any case, this is a strong indication that the girls can really attract not only South Korean fans but all throughout Asia and the rest of the world. For Filipino fans, it's a strong indication that Girls Generation may indeed promote here to further establish their stature as the one of the most loved South Korean girl group in the Philippines. Let's keep our hopes up but don't expect anything. Congratulations to Girls Generation and of course, their colleague Super Junior.

On the May 29 Episode of We Got Married where Girls Generation's Maknae SeoHyun and CN Blue's Yonghwa donated blood. It was a really nice gesture as it can really help save lives. It's part of their 22nd day anniversary in the show. It's good that their awkwardness towards each other is almost gone or just left to a minimum. There's more in store for us fans in the future episodes.

Girls Generation encourages voters for South Korean elections

Screenshot from Run Devil Run (Bugs version)

In a news, SNSD and MBC promotes voting for the upcoming South Korean elections. This is quite interesting as SNSD will surely make it colorful and lively since they are considered South Korea's National Girl Group. As mentioned in the news article and in the lyrics of the song "La La La" they will promote the power of the people to vote and make a change. SNSD fighting! :)

Yuri and Tiffany are temporarily leaving MBC Music Core

As stated from allkpop, MBC Music Core regular MCs Yuri and Tiffany of Girls Generation will be temporarily leaving the show. It doesn't seem to be permanent and they'll probably be back after their major projects especially their promotions. As most of you know, especially the fans, SNSD will have their international promotions which will tour around Asia. They've already been to Shanghai and they have other specific destinations such as Thailand and probably Japan. Who knows where else they will promote. Hopefully they'll visit more countries in Asia and take on the world.

In any case, that's good news for the fans! I really love their tandem when they MC Music Core. They're witty and funny. :) I wonder who their temporary replacement are? Hopefully they'd be able to fill in Yuri and Tiffany's shoes well until they return. We'll see them again soon! Good luck in their promotions.

Family Outing 2 viewer rating went up because of Girls Generation / SNSD

As stated in one of the Girls Generation fan pages, SNSD / Girls Generation managed to pull up the ratings of the Korean variety show Family Outing where Yoona is also a regular cast. As reported, the latest episode that aired garnered a 12.5% rating compared to the preceeding episode's very low rating of 2.2%

Well, that's quite impressive and it somehow shows how popular the girls are especially when they are together. Well, lately, a lot of the girls left their variety shows such as Yuri, Sunny and Jessica but I'm pretty sure more projects will come soon. In any case, wherever they go, it's almost always evident that the fans and the people love them as South Korea's girl group.

Girls Generation Postpones their concert in Bangkok

As we all know, the situation in Bangkok,Thailand has been quite serious and the violence between the 2 sides have resulted in multiple deaths. Due to this circumstance, as stated in allkpop, SNSD/Girls Generation will postpone their concert in Bangkok for the meantime. This is for the safety of the Girls, their staff as well as the fans.

Well, I'm pretty sure things will be better for Thailand but when that will happen, we don't know. Hopefully, everything will be settled and the violence will stop. Then, SNSD will be able to perform for their Thai fans. SNSD fighting!

Sunny and Yuri are leaving Invincible Youth

Screenshot from Invincible Youth Ep. 26 - subbed by: SoshiSubs

After Tae Yeon leaving Chin Chin Radio, here's another big news. Sunny and Yuri are leaving Invincible Youth. I've watched every single episode from the beginning and the G7 members and the MCs have already established good camaraderie with each other. It's too bad, but they have to leave the show in order to do their promotions overseas.

I really love this show and I'm pretty sure things will be extremely different in IY now that Yuri and Sunny, who are among the original G7 members, are leaving. Oh, and just a note. Even 4Minute's Hyunah will be leaving too. This is a major turning point for Invincible Youth. As a fan of the show, I'll most likely watch it still. Who knows? They might become guests again soon. Yuri, Sunny, SNSD fighting!

Hyo Yeon and Yuri on SBS Strong Heart May 18, 2010

Last Tuesday, May 18, 2010, Girls Generation's Yuri and HyoYeon appeared as guests on SBS Strong Heart. It was quite an interesting show with a couple of other cool guests such as Park Soojin who is so cute by the way.

Hyoyeon gave a couple of hints on who her crush is. She didn't say directly who they were but she gave off clues on who it was. As for Yuri, she performed a bit of her great acting matching the likes of Park Sujin and Kim Taehyun. If I'm correct, she said first. "Hello, I'm SNSD's Yuri. Nice to meet you!" then she changed her mood instantly and said "Ahh.... What schedules do I have today? Hodong, straighten up." She was hilarious.

Yuri and Hyoyeon also danced to Run Devil Run with the special participation of Juri (a comedienne). There was also a part where they showed small talents while a DJ plays a song. Yuri imitated Shin Sekyoung's pose. Hyo yeon actually imitated Juri's dance. She's so flexible. It was a really good episode. Well, that's it for now. We'll most likely see the rest of SNSD in other shows.

Tiffany and Sunny on 1000 Songs Challenge

(Picture of Tiffany from SBS 1000 Songs Challenge 5/16/2010)


Last May 16, 2010, SBS 1000 Songs Challenge featured different personalities and among them are our very own Tiffany and Sunny. I am still a beginner-level Korean speaker so it has been tough trying to figure out what's going on completely. But then, they actually won. They have to get the lyrics correctly by singing along and luckily, the last song they got was 4 Minute's Hot Issue. They made some mistakes on 2NE1's fire though. It's nice to see the girls participate in various variety shows.

Black Soshi Day in Manila on May 22, 2010

(My Run Devil Run repackaged album from Yesasia.com)

On May 22, 2010, Universal Records Philippines will officially launch Girls Generation's Run Devil Run repackage album. They will hold an event called the Black Soshi day when fans can converge in 3 places : Astroplus in SM North Edsa, Music One in Greenbelt and Odyssey in SM Megamall.

In this event, the fans can buy a CD combo to get the following benefits: all 9 members' Run Devil Run posters, a thank you card, and more. Fans were reacting a bit, and with good reason, since most of them are forced to buy another album that they already probably have. As for me, I completed my collection by buying online.

Well, the previous event, Oh! it's Girls Generation was a success and I'm pretty sure Black Soshi day will be successful as well. I'd just stay at home for the time being since I have work the day before and after. Soshi fighting!!!

Kim Yu-Na danced to SNSD's Run Devil Run on 2010 KCC Switzen Festa on Ice

Last April 18, 2010, South Korean figure skater Kim Yu-Na (who won the 2010 Winter Olympics Gold medal) danced to SNSD's Run Devil Run (RDR). I just wanted to share this just in case you haven't watched it yet. It was a spectacular performance of RDR.

The choreography is just awesome, I actually had goosebumps when I watched it for the first time. I am also familiar with Kim Yu-Na though so it's a great sight to watch her dance along to an SNSD song. Hope they could collaborate or at least get together.

To watch the video, click below. Enjoy!
