The SNSD General Discussion Thread

[tamatron]

A fan (actually, I don't know if he's a fan or just a random Korean who likes the girls) was at the same resort in Boracay with Taeng, Yuri and Sooyoung. He saw them with their families a bunch of times, Taeng walking pass by, Yuri riding a buggy. He even saw Sooyoung in a bathing suit (he didn't describe in details though). One time, Yuri and Sooyoung were eating at a table near him, Yuri was eating happily, he said, and Sooyoung looked like a goddess.

I saw some thing about someone seeing Taeyeon at Fort San Pedro? Said famous Koren celebs go to that area/resort a lot since its known that they can relax and not get hounded much. They should come to Charleston/Savannah area, we have a lot of old forts and stuff and I could show them around tell them the history and stuff.



Here's the first video I saw of SNSD which someone posted to a blog I stumbled onto. lol

Also obligatory dem sweatshirts. Still the best concept EVER



If that's the album concept it seems pretty nondescript, not really vampiry. Although Seohyun's hair went from that 'long sleek and glowing' thing she's had lately to bride of frankenstein x_x plus I'm not sure Sooyoung's hair like that is going to be very flattering for her face shape. Tiffany's is probably a wig but she usually looks great with the short hair.

Hello~ This is SNSD's maknae Seohyun^^

Today is SNSD's 4th birthday~!
Enjoyable moments, happy moments, tiring moments from the past 4 years..
Because all nine of us have SONEs
although it is a long time, looking back, every day was special and a good experience
which is how we could go through it all..

Young, immature girls that didn't know anything
grew making many dreams come true for 4 years
and learned and felt many things.
Despite us not being perfect, I honestly thank you all for
loving and supporting us equally.

It's only been 4 years!!
We want to make bigger dreams come true through your love and strength!!
SONE! Until SNSD becomes 40 years old..
I hope we can make memories together.. Forever^^

With SNSD in your lives, and SONEs in our's
we've been very happy, and until the day we can reminisce..!
We will work harder!!
Right now it's SNSD♥

Waaaaaahhh It’s our 4th year already^^^^^^!!!!
what I felt about the spped of time or that of our fans would be the same right?!
we already know each other so well..
we don’t need to check that our feelings are the same right^^?! Yoyoyoyoyo!!

Fast isnt it?!!..right?!
I thought it was really fast when it was our 1st anniversary…but we had 4 times of that time together..wooowww we must have grown a lot~
The memories we shared, or the depth of our thoughts for each other..
I am really grateful..to the extent I can’t even describe in words…!
You have no idea how happy and thankful it is for me to have people who cheer for no matter where I am and what I do.

You know, a little while ago when I was looking at our girls~ members^^!
I looked through their feet~it made me a bit teary~ㅠ-ㅠ
When we run around in heels in a three hour long performance, and practicing
we end up hurting our feet and sometimes we feel like our body is gonna crash..
then it might bleed and bruise, sometimes even breaks~^^

but then again..I told myself that it’s just something that we do..
and I saw our members’ feet that can’t get worse and their calluses~
when I looked into them they were actually all ruined~
even the shape..toe nails..unlike the beginning when they were all soft and nice..
but maybe because of the responsibility that we are to be shown we all tried to cover up the scars with different colors ^^

and..after flights over ten hours with puffy face and our body,
even with their exhausted body I saw a little pain when they were smiling in front of the splash of flashes and to the fans who were smiling and waiting for us..
pain..pain..?! no just cute pain!
letting us feel that such trivial inconvenience…and complaints..as cute pain..
fans who allowed it to not be pain itself because it’s cute pain..
and fans who looked even once and cheered for Girls’ Generation
Thank you so much!!
I would really like to give back..this feeling..
It would take me my lifetime to give all the love back..^^?!
and because I think it would take at least 14 years for you to enjoy it..
Stay by our side till then.. ok?! Thank you and Thank you!
our members, our staffs, please love them all~~~~~
I’m gonna do that too^^!! yap

Hong Jiyu who wrote RDR lyrics just tweeted that Girls' Generation's concept in the upcoming album is no longer "girls" anymore.

[zoolander]

So they are dudes?

[trooper]

ROFL, The girls are no longer teenager, it is time for graceful ladies.

Somehow I still prefer their fresh girly image, they ARE Girls' Generation--Era of Maiden in Korean actually.

I guess SM(and Korea as a whole) didn't expect them to be this huge, the previous Girl groups didn't last more than half a decade.
even for famous group like FinKL(~4 years) and SES(~5 years).

Probably because Korea market is that big only, when they popularity hit a certain level, theres nothing more to gain.
But thanks to the Asian, Japanese fans and the internet especially, they now have a market with billions of population to conquer.

[ggfeda]

I hope they got more ballad songs in their comeback. And make it their first single for a change, instead of songs that is just always repeating like gee gee gee, run run run, oh oh oh, hoot hoot hoot, taxi taxi taxi, I'm getting exhausted in their songs like that to be honest, and I'm craving for more variety shows, Gosh, I miss their variery skills!

[ggfeda]

Excuse me for butting in since that's what always happens when I join a new forum, just leaving this here cause I really like it.

I also love these particular performance the girls made! but I'm jut curious on who's doing the introduction/voive over. I'm not sure if it's top from big bang or not?

Tranny Generation ftw!!

It was Eric from Shinhwa. Shinhwa is the original artist for this song.

SNSD confirms Korean comeback in September with third official album!

SNSD has revealed that they will be making an official Korean comeback with a 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 to go ahead with 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 competition with SNSD. One representative said, “All of the attention will be put on SNSD anyway, so it’s useless to go head-to-head.  On top of that, it’s an official album, so there’s the possibility that they will just sweep the charts.”

eta: Also from Teddy Riley's twitter;

TeddyRiley1 TEDDY RILEY
@Naiaracognitio I'm working on Girl Generation from korea. Check them out.

[zoolander]

I was looking at his other tweets since that one looks like it was a week or so ago. Sounds like he was in Korea doing the song yesterday or today?

@TeddyRiley1 Are you working with Girls' Generation for their comeback title track?

@kimmiemai Yes with the colab of some great kpop producers. Thank you for showing me kpop.

@TeddyRiley1 Girls Generation -young group is fortuante to have you involved in their project.. they will benefit from your talent/exp

@mjsonly Wow, thank you so much. I'm working hard for them to have the best.

Yo boss, so Rania is out-of-your hands now? RT

@aldibhas Nothing I can do about it.

@TeddyRiley1 i think you're working with Girls'Generation for their 3rd Album : ) ) Sure? ^^

@BasCuit_ChoCo its an honor to be working with the number 1 girls in the world.

If @TeddyRiley1 is working with Girls' Generation, are their songs gonna sound like Rania's too?

@wndsr No...they have a different sound. I would never do that.

@TeddyRiley1 can you tell me ? what the girls doing now ?

@punpp I don't know...I'm just trying to be ready for my recording with them. I'm nervous.

Yes I'm coming back home to hit the stage wit my homies Blackstreet.

I always wondered if Blackstreet was still together. No Diggity was my favorite song as a kid.

[tamatron]

I had no idea he was in Blackstreet . I think I only heard of him as a producer.

Lots of fans were afraid they were gonna come out like Rania . I'm glad too that they'll be different. Not like he can make the alike anyway, this is already an established group.

[kowai-kawai]

[tamatron]

New tracks' names!





Fuck yeah STYxHIRO!

[zoolander]

\O/ Yay! They did a great job on the Japanese album.

Interesting names HIKKUP and Time Machine. 

[tamatron]

So Sica was on my tv (I didn't watch it though, gotta watch the rerun later). It was probably some short interview from when she was here for a photoshoot. I don't know if you guys heard about SM True yet, but yeah go look up.

She said that they were working hard on their English skills, just so that they can make music in English to spread the SNSD madness around the world. I think I heard about them doing English songs from somewhere a few days ago. Anyways, I think this might be where Teddy comes into play.

[zoolander]

Was it a different one than this?
