Girls’ Generation on “Entertainment Relay”

Girls’ Generation Is Shufflin’ for Mnet
Mnet is holding a contest on their Facebook page for the Mnet Asian Music Awards to go to the 2011 MAMA awards in Singapore. Hyoyeon and Sooyoung demonstrated their best shuffle for the shuffle dance relay contest. I think this might be their best dance yet!

Interview with Girls’ Generation on MBC Morning News
MBC produced a segment this week on their Morning News program talking a bit about Hallyu.

Commercial for “Star Life Theater” Featuring Girls’ Generation Airs
As we reported earlier, KBS will be producing a new documentary called “Star Life Theater” and Girls’ Generation will be in the pilot episode. A commercial aired this week showing a little bit of what we can expect when the show finally comes out. Documentaries are always a really interesting type of show when it comes to Girls’ Generation. Going behind the scenes as the cameras follow the girls around will be entertaining and enlightening.
Girls’ Generation Teaches MTV News Some Korean
While the girls were in New York for SMTOWN, they stopped by the MTV studios for some interviews.

In this one, the girls teach Christina some Korean slang like “daebak” and “jjang”. Sooyoung even gets in on some shameless self promotion with “Girls’ Generation dae~bak”. Check out the full article here as well as another where the girls talk about their style.

BoA was vital in opening a path for Korean artists in Japan, and Girls’ Generation is always thankful for their sunbaes’ work.

Girls’ Generation Shows Their Compassion at Their Fan Signing
Girls’ Generation members recently held a fan signing event in Korea where many fans finally got a chance to meet their idols up close and get an autograph. One fan, however, was unable to go up to the girls due to being disabled. So, the girls went down off the stage to greet the fan and give their autographs. In the above picture you can see Taeyeon looking on as Sunny crouches down to be at the fan’s level. These girls always go out of their way to do whatever they can for their fans.
Girls’ Generation on the Cover of the Novemeber Issue of Asta TV
Even though the girls were on the cover of last month’s Asta TV magazine, that’s not stopping them from being the cover girls again this month. Asta TV has yet another 68 pages of Soshi, as they show off pictures of the girls in New York for SMTOWN.
Interviews with J-14 and M Magazines
While in New York, Girls’ Generation had a Q&A session with J-14 and M Magazines. The girls answered questions about introducing themselves, saying “We also have impeccable choreography — we practice a lot and we’re definitely a team to check out and watch onstage.” Also, on why girls rock, Taeyeon shows off her sense of humor about her height saying, “We can wear both skirts and pants. We can make ourselves up, wear heels and make ourselves taller!” Check out the full Q&A’s here and here.
Girls’ Generation Articles on CNNGo
Girls’ Generation was featured in a couple articles on CNN’s international website, CNNGo. The first one asks, “How far would you go for Girls’ Generation”, as they talk about the girls traveling to New York and their global release of “The Boys”. They continue on talking about Girls’ Generation’s global appeal and how fans will even travel to Korea to see them(as I’m sure a few Soshified members can attest to!). The second article asks some random Americans what they think of Girls’ Generation. There are some wildly varying opinions in this article. One thing is for sure though. There was a lot of coverage of the girls being in the U.S.

SONE Picture/Video of the Week
For the past couple weeks we have shown some amazing remixes of Girls’ Generation’s latest single. This week, we switch it up a bit and show off an absolutely incredible dance cover of “The Boys”. Thai dance cover group “Relationshipz” exhibits some of what Tiffany likes to call “impeccable choreography” as they are all completely in sync together. We might have a contender for winning SM’s dance cover contest for “The Boys” here. Amazing work learning all the choreography and syncing everything up.

Girls cute and kind congratulating everyone including their unnie BoA. Media love them in Korea. So cute doing the shuffle dance. Fany beautiful “FAME” and goodness aegyo overload in the Coway CF <3. Beautiful with the J. Estina bags, like the pink one by Yoongie. J. Estina bags are going to sell like crazy. Want to see "Star Life Theater", can't wait. MTV jjang and Christina Garibaldi is obsessed with the girls. HyoSun hilarious on IY2. The Face Shop better be prepared for stampede. Another successful business report coming up soon for them. Cute Vita500 pics and sweet message, always SNSD. Angels to their SONEs. Asta TV magazine again and having 68 pages special, nice. J-14 and M magazines in America plus CNNGo news article equals up to SUCCESS. American public ain't ready yet, so when SNSD come through they're not going to know what hit them until it is too late. Only us SONEs and the rest of kpop fans are in the known and ready for these 9 beautiful talented angels. Come on over girls because youths in America need some positivity and encouragement in their life. Good luck with everything and hope you be a huge success anywhere in the world you go. SONE video is awesome and it's going to be difficult to pick a winner. Good luck! Thank you SSF for hard work, keep it up. <3 :)
Thanks for the news wrap!(:
why are they doing these to invincible youth 2
Am looking forward to Star Life Theater & IY2.
& GG is daebak indeed.
They always care bout Sones.. as you can see from their voluntary action to approach the disabled fan to give her an autograph. :)
Once again, thanks for the wrap SSF.
NICE ONE!!! :D

i’ve been away for a week and got so outdated bout the girls and this wrap is just what i needed :)

Thanks for the Wrap-Up SSF!
Omg, Sunny Oppa is Jjang!

Hey, thanks of the news wrap.
It’s always good to read all those stuff.
And guys don’t forget to vote our SNSD and Taeyeon for best O.S.T. in http://mama.mnet.com/
She’s falling behind today, watch out
Thank you for the news wrap..I just die at 0:24 of Tiffany’s Coway CF…
Hahaha…The cover dance is awesome! It must take a lot of effort to gather 9 people
and practice the dance together..they also have the same outfit. Cool!
I kinda anticipate of “The Boys” dance cover by Endo Jidai..Must be epic! :)
I really so glad, because I can enter this forum ^_^
alright…you guys post a ton of news artircles
while i’m asleep that i had to comment on and
now there is a TON in this soshi news wrapup.
i am starting to run out of steam. LOL! this is a
testament to how good you guys are at keeping
us up to date with the girls. great job! but i will
simply say this. all of this news is typical of a group
that is dominating the world stage except for one…
the kindness they showed to the disabled sone left
me teary-eyed. global icons normally don’t do that.
we are extemely lucky here. we are fans of nine girls
who can put themselves in the clouds but instead
kneel down for the disabled. these are special people.
cherish every second we have to share with them.
My thoughts exactly. I was really touched by the girls going down off the stage to make sure that fan was able to greet them in person. They are definitely special. It’s things like that that really set them apart from other stars in the world.
i was touched when i read about the fan signing event and the girls went down so that they can greet and give autographs to the disabled fan :D
TT.TT
our girls are so kind :D i wish that they will always be safe :D God Bless them :D
i really love reading all this weekly soshi news wrap. who know maybe i forgot about something ^^
they are now really popular i think :)
Thanks for the news wrap ^_^
Always something to be found that I missed during the week.
so much happening lately! i luved what they did for the MAMA advert ^^ and the jestina …their solo vids are so cool ^^ showing off their individuality…hope the girls arent stressed out due to their schedules, keep well and stay strong girls! soshi fighting! cnt wait to review all of that ^^
“Girls’ Generation Daebak” indeed! :) They’re so cute. And I’m so excited for Invincible Youth 2!
Also… BoA’s 11th anniversary of her debut is on August 25, 2011. It was her birthday last November 5, 2011. :) 25 years since she blessed this world with her presence. <3
Thanks for letting me catch up on what happened this week^^
