The Global Generation effect is in full swing following the release of their new album “The Boys”. Prominent financial news website Marketwatch.com posted a press release from Interscope Records, the record label that is handling the United States release of Girls’ Generation’s upcoming maxi single in November. Interscope’s press release summarizes the progress of Girls’ Generation’s career and lists many of their accomplishments. The Interscope press release that was posted on Marketwatch.com can be seen here.
Also, the popular English-language Korean news website The Korea Times published an interview that they recently conducted with the members of Girls’ Generation. In the interview, Tiffany said, “It is an energetic song, representing girl power — not only Girls’ Generation’s power, but women overall,” when asked about the title track “The Boys”. Regarding the foray into the American market, Taeyeon was quoted as saying, ““It is a significant beginning for Girls’ Generation in the U.S., but we do not expect big success at our first attempt. I think it is a good start for us and for K-pop.” The entire interview by The Korea Times can be read here.
Interscope Records has also made a strong push to publicize Girls’ Generation. First, on their Twitter account, they tweeted about the iTunes release of “The Boys” single in the United States, and they also changed their background image to the cover image of “The Boys”.
Finally, the iTunes release of “The Boys” American single made a strong impact, as they broke the top 100 overall songs list and reached (at the time that this article is being written) the #74 spot on that list and the #32 spot on the Pop chart.. The success of the American release coincided with “The Boys” appearing on popular TV host and radio personality Ryan Seacrest’s website and the all-kill that “The Boys” achieved in Korea.

saranghae snsd
just look at the impact that the song have done..
its all positive!
the power of GG!
Finally..
Their debut in US.
What Taeyeon said is true, they shouldn’t expect much but at least it is a good start for them & K-pop.
If they work hard enough, then its not impossible to emulate their achievements back in Japan.
GG Hwaiting! :)
Congrats to Girl Generation ! :D Keep it Up and never give up !! remember to have fun and work hard :D Love you all, SNSD Jjang :)
Congrats to Girl Generation!! Never give up !! keep going !! Love You All :D SNSD Jjang
so proud of the girls!
and i’m so proud of the English version of THE BOYS!! :D
Humble Taeyeon…
I think #74 on iTunes is incredible for a new group entering the US market. GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!
Good to hear about the Girls making it. I like Taeyeon’s attitude above, about the whole US thing. It should be a long-term campaign, not a strike. The Americans, after all, are very picky and other stuff.
Anyway, I like the song, but admit that I’m not excited about it. It’s good, should sorta bridge the gap a bit.
when i’m reading all the articles, i can’t help but cry. tears of joy. i’m so so proud of what the girls are achieving now. this is the start of a new beginning.
OMGGG I’m so proud of girls generation! Even more proud to be part of this fandom :’)
They totally deserve all these! <3
I really love how humble they are <3.
It's definitely girls' generation right now c:
SNSD’s influence is being felt around the world; it’s amazing! I’m glad they reached this level of recognition – I’m very proud of them. And I understand why they’re cautious entering the US market, so massive props to them for taking the opportunity and risk. Congrats SNSD for the release of a new album :D

Taeyeon was quoted as saying, ““It is a significant beginning for Girls’ Generation in the U.S., but we do not expect big success at our first attempt. Well, let’s surprise her by getting the album to the top of the chart in America! I already bought it twice from iTunes. SNSD FOREVER!
I’m So proud on our lovely 9ANGELS..
all of their diligence and perseverance are worth it.
supporting one another for their comeback and for this Project.
hope they will get the artist of the year.. for in coming GDA!!
because they deserve it..
just keep the good news coming!
the girls have a great perspective
on how they are approaching the
american market, and are staying
very positive. they believe, as
we all do, that though it may take
time, they will be a huge success
in the american market. and ryan
seacrest is a great promoter. he
made the kardashians famous for
doing nothing. i think his promotion
will help the girls greatly. looking
forward to global generation!!!
I’m so Proud our girls!!
