Congratulations to our girls!
so proud of my unnies… :)
Woooh.
Yet another record broken.
1st gal group to do so + they achieved it 10 days+ faster than Oh! to reach it’s highest figure, If im not mistaken..
Congrats to the gals. :)
whoa speechless….
I’m happy for the girls and for SONEs. At such a short amount of time, we were able to do this much. Great job girls! Indeed, it is Girls’ Generation. :3
as much as im happy that they sold this much in a short amount of time, i have to say this, sm actually imported their albums to outside korea such as japan etc…so those who bought the albums there, the sales will be counted in korea gaon too. dont take me wrong, i love and proud of them, but it kinda seems unfair to other groups who sell their albums separately. oh well, i still love them btw. GG GO!
wow! that is truly an achievement. congratulations girls! it’s not suprising though since we all know how popular our girls have become. this is the product of our girl’s hardword and they really deserve or even more love from all SONEs from all over the world.
congrate girls!!! i know you can do it…..yeahhh!!! do it better..snsd jjannggg!!!
No surprise! I know these girls are so working hard for us SONEs, so daebak~~!
Congrats! This is so awesome. I can’t wait for what they do next. I’ve heard rumors of a repackaged album floating around but we’ll see if they’re true soon enough. I almost don’t want a repackaged album because that means promotions for The Boys will have ended :(

Congrats Girls!!! Seems like they are slowly climbing up the chart!! Keep it up. Can’t wait to see them at Year End Awards!!
lol so does this mean that they have a chance at GDA because I would really really love for them to win again so Fany can have her wish. If they win that means they would be the only kpop female group to do that 3 yrs straight in a row. I hope they do snag the disk and digital awards together in one shot and get it over with. Anyway they made history again for being the 1st kpop female group to sell so many copies in 12 days, I hope they made it to 500k+ soon before November finish. Good going SONEs and SNSD congrats. Thanks SSF for this awesome news. :) <3
