Girls’ Generation to make a Korean comeback in January 2013

Girl’s Generation will be making a Korean comeback in January.

The girls had been originally scheduled for a comeback in late October. However, these plans were scrapped and they had to push back their comeback date.

This will be their first Korean comeback after a long 15 months since “The Boys” was released. The girls had no Korean promotions as a full group in 2012, so fans are looking forward for the January comeback.

Girls’ Generation has always garnered good results through a January comeback with hits such as “Gee” (2009) and “Oh!” (2010) both being released in January which attributed greatly to their incredible popularity. With the January comeback, they’re looking forward to another hit next year as well.

What kind of concept would you like to see for their Korean comeback?

SNSD thanks fans for their “The Boys” all-kill

Right before their first comeback stage on KBS‘s 'Music Bank‘, the ladies of SNSD sat down with reporters in their waiting room to express their gratitude for their music chart ‘all-kill’ with “The Boys“.

The girls began, “We’re both excited and nervous every time we release a new album. There was some anticipation because it was our first Korean comeback in a while. Since ‘The Boys’ is different in style to the music SNSD previously presented, we were kind of worried as to how people would react. Still, our hearts were beating, and we were all more excited than ever.”

They continued, “We recorded our comeback in front of our fans today. Although it was our first stage, they all perfected their fan-chants, which we’re both glad and grateful for.”

With regards to their ‘all-kill’ on the charts, SNSD remarked, “Because we were all so preoccupied with our comeback preparations, we had no time to go on the internet. It wasn’t until today that we found out about our ranking on the charts. It’s something we didn’t expect, so we’re really thankful for that. There were a lot of songs that we had specially prepared for our album. We wanted to show them off to our fans so we’re glad that they even listened to our album. We have yet to begin our official promotional activities and are already receiving such love, so it makes us feel a bit more responsible to live up to everyone’s expectations.”

When asked whether they’re anticipating a music program win, they responded, “We haven’t thought of it. The members haven’t talked about winning yet. Instead of working with the thought of ‘placing first’, we want to prioritize showing what we couldn’t before. We trust that we will be met with positive results if we continue to work hard.”

SNSD confirms Korean comeback in September with third official album

SNSD confirms Korean comeback in September with third official album

[Divine]

by SNSD Unlimited on Friday, August 12, 2011 at 3:12am

SNSD has confirmed their Korean comeback with their third official album next month!
While taking part in the Hallyu wave over in Japan, the girls have been secretly working on their third album recordings. They’ve been balancing out a proper release date, and finally decided on September.
A representative revealed, “SNSD mentioned that they would be making their comeback this fall, but they’ve recently confirmed September as their comeback month. They’re still in the middle of recording, so they could adjust the date by a week or two.”
Fans will also be excited to hear that it won’t be a mini-album or a digital single, but a full fledged official album, their first in nearly a year and eight months.
Other entertainment labels are currently delaying comebacks and debuts in order to avoid direct competition. One representative said, “All the attention will be on SNSD anyway, so it’s useless to go head-to-head. On top of that, it’s an official album, so it’s likely that they will just sweep the charts.”

 

 

110506 Can’t wait for their comeback!

SNSD picked as the idol whose comeback is the most anticipated.

Recently, SNSD, whose popularity transcends beyond Asia and is widely spreading into other continents like Europe and South America topped a survey conducted by an online music site, Monkey3 entitled ‘Which idol group’s comeback is anticipated?’. The survey was conducted from April 28th to May 4th involving a total of 530 participants.

Out of that total, SNSD received 36% (252 votes) to secure the no.1 spot. 2NE1 came in 2nd with 19% (132 votes), followed by 2PM in 3rd with 17% (117 votes), Beast in 4th with 15% (103 votes), miss A in 5th with 8% (54 votes) and 2AM in 6th with 7% (46 votes).

SNSD’s impressive success on the Oricon charts with 3rd Japanese Single ‘Mr.Taxi/Run Devil Run’ is an indication that the girls’ popularity is on the rise. Commentors of the site stated, “Hopefully the day I get to see them on stage in Korea will come very soon”.

CHI CHI clarifies that SNSD is their role model + reveals plans for May comeback

In their latest interview with Star News, the seven members of rookie girl group CHI CHI expressed their admiration for their seniors, SNSD.
In late March, the girls were asked whether they had a girl group that they thought of as their rivals during their debut showcase. They had answered, “Our goal is to overtake the nation’s best girl group, SNSD. Becoming Asia’s best girl group is also another goal of ours. We believe our strong point is performing unique music.”

Unfortunately, that statement came with consequences. The girls were the target of criticism for their over-ambitious goals so early in their careers.
CHI CHI took the interview as an opportunity to express what they had truly meant by explaining, “When we said that we wanted to overtake SNSD, we meant it as a form of respect. We want to become a girl group that receives love from males and females of all age groups.”
Ji-u continued, “SNSD is our role model and seniors that we respect and want to become like,” while Nara added, “SNSD is the best girl group in not only Korea, but all of Asia. As we still have many things that we lack, they are like our role models.”
Semi stated, “SNSD is our idol. They’re always working hard to become the top, and we, too, want to reach that status as well.”

Even though they’ve chosen SNSD as their role models, the girls expressed a sense of pride over the music they wish to pursue. CHI CHI debuted as an electronic house group with their track, “Don’t Play Around.”
Su-i explained, “The strongest point for CHI CHI is that we perform unique music for a girl group. Even though the public isn’t familiar with our members individually, they’re familiar with ‘Don’t Play Around.’”
Nara stated, “Our music is positive in that it’s not convoluted, but still maintains an addictive quality. We hope to continue presenting such refreshing music and hopefully win a rookie award at the year-end.”

CHI CHI will be promoting “Don’t Play Around” until the end of this month and will make their official comeback in May with a new track.
They concluded, “Our song to be released this May is a lot more melodious than ‘Don’t Play Around.’ We’re already looking forward to our next promotion cycle!”

2AM talks about competition with SNSD

2AM’s Jo Kwon has revealed his feelings on releasing the group’s first official album after spending nearly 10 years a JYPE trainee.

The group held an album showcase and press conference for “Saint O’Clock” on October 27th and stated, “We still can’t believe it, that’s how glad we are.”

Leader Jo Kwon continued, “When I first received ‘This Song‘ as a trainee, I practiced extremely hard to sing that one song. At the time, I waited for my debut without greed. Having always seen mini-albums, it’s hard to believe that we finally have an 11 track official album.”

With their debut in 2008, 2AM began releasing singles and mini-albums while going into acting and making variety program appearances. After two years and three months, the group finally produced their first official album consisting of 11 tracks.

Jo Kwon added, “Listeners will be able to hear a variety of different genres. There are standard and limited editions produced. You will not be disappointed.”

2AM will be promoting two tracks for this promotion cycle, including “You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls” and “Like Crazy.” Changmin introduced the songs by stating, “‘Like Crazy’ focuses primarily on the melody while ‘You Wouldn’t Answer My Calls’ focuses on each of the members’ voices. Listening to the two different atmospheres will be an enjoyable experience.”



The group relied on research from Nielsen Korea in order to choose their title tracks. Due to receiving a positive response on both of the songs, they decided to go with a double title promotion. Jinwoon added, “We have different outfits and music videos for both songs.”

Jo Kwon went on to thank SNSD for their overlapping promotion cycles. “Our cycles overlapped during our ‘Can’t Send You Even if I Die‘ cycle. We’re competitors with good intentions. I personally bought and listened to ‘Hoot‘ and found that it’s a very bright, cute song. I’m thankful for them for giving me another opportunity to express my kkap.”

Regarding the competition, Jo Kwon continued, “Our song is a ballad that fits well with the cold winter season. I think there will be a lot of people that are looking for ballad songs.”

2AM will be holding their first comeback stage on Mnet’s “M Countdown” on October 28th. The showcase held today was filmed in 3D and will be shown in theaters in December.
