SNSD successfully finish their Asian tour


SNSD have successfully finished their Asian tour with the largest number of audiences attended in the history of Korean girl group’s concert.

SNSD have held “Girls’ Generation Tour” since May 31 last year. They’ve held total 23 concerts in 11 cities in Asia – six cities in Japan (Osaka, Saitama, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagoya, and Fukuoka), Seoul, Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Bangkok.
According to SM Entertainment, SNSD’s agency, nearly 230,000 audiences have attended SNSD’s concert. It’s the largest number of audiences attended at a Korean girl group’s concert. It’s also very unusual to hold a girl group’s exclusive concert in such a large scale.
SNSD’s last concert in Thailand was held on February 12 from 6 p.m. at IMPACT Arena in Bangkok with nearly 11,000 audiences attending. SNSD performed total 32 songs for three hours, including their hit songs like “Gee,” “Genie,” and “Hoot,” songs included in Korean/Japanese albums, and songs for the members’ solo performances.
The audiences sang along SNSD’s songs and cheered in fluent Korean, waving glow-in-the-dark sticks throughout the concert. When SNSD performed “Complete,” the audiences unfolded a placard that read, “FINALLY, WE MEET,” and showed a surprise event, flying paper airplanes, to make the members happy.
Because this was SNSD’s first exclusive concert held in Thailand, the local press like True Music and TNN showed great interest in SNSD at a press interview.
After finishing their concert, SNSD said, “We were so happy that we could feel the love of our fans. It was really unforgettable. We thank all of you who supported ‘Girls’ Generation Tour.’ We’ll try our best to have a better concert in the future.”
SNSD came back to Korea on February 13.

SNSD’s Seohyun releases a new album on Feb. 13: “Lovely, sweet!”


SNSD’s Seohyun is releasing a new digital single album, Don’t Say No, produced in collaboration with singer-songwriter Yoon Gun, on February 13.
“Don’t Say No,” which will be released on all music sites such as Melon, Olleh Music, Soribada, Naver Music, and Bugs, is more than enough to captivate music fans with Seohyun and Yoon Gun’s perfect harmony.
“Don’g Say No” is an unplugged pop song, composed by Yoon Gun. It’s harmonized with a delicate guitar sound, a string quartet, and a beautiful piano melody. Its sweet lyrics, which are about lovers confessing their love to each other in poetic words, make the song even more attractive. This duet song is Seohyun and Yoon Gun’s gift for their fans for upcoming spring. Because it exposes two singers’ charms, it’s expected that there will be favorable responses from music fans.
On February 9, some pictures and comments that insinuated the two singers’ collaboration were uploaded on SNS and attracted wide attention from people online.
