Girls’ Generation Mentioned in MTV Buzzworthy Article
Sam Lansky, a writer for MTV.com recently wrote an article talking about K-pop and if it might be able to break into the American market. Of course, when you’re talking about breaking into the market, you have to talk about Girls’ Generation with their recent release of “The Boys”, which comes in Korean and English versions. Sam was originally very skeptic about K-pop since it was in a language he didn’t understand. However, after finally succumbing to his own curiosity, he watched “The Boys” and became a fan of the girls, stating that he has since watched the music video 50 times after the initial viewing. Seems like even the toughest skeptics can’t help but fall for the girls’ charms.

Thanks for the news wrap! I’m relying on this more and more nowadays since I don’t have time to keep up with everything during the week T_T
Thanks for the Wrap-Up SSF!
the phantom cover was very interesting! i liked it!
the “girls’ generation appears on eTV” video has been removed by the user
I AM SO EXCITED FOR STAR LIFE!!!! Hyo looked so cute with the camera and maknae really is all grown up! AH! So excited!
I have said so before and do not mind saying so again: if our girls can happily support other K-pop groups, we as fans need to be able to do the same. I mean look! They even have blue lightsticks to show their support!
The winners are great! I am glad to have lost to the vocal contest winners! They were all really good! and that dance cover was EPIC! I loved the story they put in and the camera angles! On top of their great dancing!
I really am speechless about the remix. I love the feel and the GENIE surprise.
Arghhh.. GG Shake.
I really need an iTouch now. :/
Phantom’s cover of The Boys. The lead singer look.. gay? hahaha
But he got good vocals, I cant deny that. Same goes to the duo behind him.
Hope they’ll release a full version cover. I wanna see him rap. :P
The Boys dance contest, no doubt St 319 is the worthy winner.
Their cover is just top notch & the video looks like a proper MV itself.
DAEBAK. (Y)
Thanks for the wrap, SSF. :)
The new CF of SNSD looks very cool , its funny that Tiffany suddenly groove a little :))
“Girls’ Generation to Attend 2011 MAMA”
Congratulations SNSD! We S♥Ne will continue to support Girls’ Generation! :D
o btw, congratulations to those who win the contest, lol. The recording and everything was great, that’s why you win right? lol :D Congratulations!.
SNSD Fighting!
the girls influence is spreading at exponential rates,
and they are recieving so many awards i am trying to
think of where they could fit them in their apartment…
however, the thing that always gets me is the girls
undying charity and support for those around them.
whether it be something big, like supporting the victims
of the flooding in thailand, or something small, like
supporting their fellow labelmates by cheering them on
at a concert, it is the girls humbleness, their ability to
see past the flashing cameras and reach out to regular
people and affect their lives in such a positive manner,
that will forever be the reason i fell in love with these
girls. :-)
Wow thanks so much for all this info!!!! So much happpening for the girls! Sometimes I really wish I ccould be more updated with whaats happening with them..usually only hearing afterwards..but I ws touched by their message of suport to Thailand, reflects their sweet and kind-heartednature~~~ and they jhve so many activities going on!!! And they were supporting super junior too!!! Haha hoping that they’re well!! Looking forward to gting some personal health tips frm the vid whr thhey interview sica’s trainers and the girls themselves XD can’t wait ffor the star life theater show..and I hope they do well in MAMA!! Wish I cld b there to watch!! Stay well and keep strong girls, SOSHI fighting!
Whew wee thank you so much SSF staffs for another fantastic weekly wrap ♡. J. Estina and Star Life Theater videos are so cute. OMG Soshi makes everything cute even when they’re not trying to be, just can’t run away from the cuteness. Natural born cuties! Phantom Mercury was cool remix of The Boys. Btw I knew he reminds me of the real Freddie Mercury of Queen. Ladies on the news again and also I guess world news since they were seen on Australia t.v. Go Soshi! Since they have their own SHAKE App game on itunes, might as well some game developer get together with SM and have the angels feature in their own dance/karaoke or Rock Band, DJ Hero, Guitar Hero console games. I guarantee it’ll sell like hot cakes with the kpop fans, S♡NEs will definitely buy it and also if it’s well made with little or none errors. My imagination ><! Anyway I love that they still winning polls and it being held in other countries in the world. Beautiful SM getting 3 prestigious awards, 2 for Soshi and 1 for Mr. Lee Soo Man, keep it in the SM family. Angels with heart never forgetting those in need of help and support, if even through a short message. Love their Spao winter outfits, so adorable. Talk about lucky Korean fans going to attend the 2nd Spao Anniversary. Hope our girls walk with the 5 MAMA awards that night. lol that tough American MTV critic has been caught up in the "Soshi Virus". I ♡ it so much. Lastly S♡NEs videos are just awesome, amazing, jjang etc…. S♡NEs be proud! :)
