On February 22nd, Girls’ Generation took home two awards on the First Gaon Chart KPOP Awards show.
Girls’ Generation won the Oricon Chart Special Award for their chart topping first Japan album. While all the members were not in attendance, Yoona arrived from a previous schedule just in time to accept the award. Taeyeon, who was MC for the awards show, also said a few words thanking fans.
Gaon awarded albums by quarters of the year, and Girls’ Generation won the Album of the Year Award for the fourth quarter with “The Boys”. Yoona returned to the stage and thanked fans all around the world for their love and support, and also said that she missed her members. In a cute moment, Yoona complained that Taeyeon was too far away since she was at the MC podium off to the side of the stage, but both Taeyeon and Yoona still did their cheer “Right now, it’s Girls’ Generation!” along with the many fans in attendance.
Girls’ Generation had the highest selling album by a Korean artist on the Oricon chart in Japan and highest selling album on the Gaon chart in Korea in 2011.
A stylist for Girls’ Generation, Seo Sookyung, also won a Style Award for her work with “The Boys”.
Congratulations to Girls’ Generation on their wins! Check out the acceptance speeches below.

It feels so empty onstage without all of them! :( its my first time seeing them winning an award but only one accepted it since taeyeon is on the other side… STILL congrats girls!! You truly deserved it!
PRoud to be a SONE!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations girls! As expected! You are awesome!
YoonA looked so awkward up there. It must have been odd not to be in the midst of this bumping, squealing, chattering group but to be able to speak calmly without the voices of 8 other members behind her. Lol.
great they are :D
too bad that comes only Yoona :(
SNSD jjang! Congrats! Hwaiting!
Congrats!!
but this was so sad, I’ve never seen just one of them ever accepting an award. even if Taeyeon was there, she was so far away. It felt awkward…where was everyone?
still congrats, you girls deserve it.
the girls so righteously deserve these awards!
2011 was a record-setting year, not just for
girls’ generation, but for all of k-pop, and the
girls were leading the tide. treasure the
memories of a magical 2011. not just that the
girls had so much success, but treasure the
fact that the girls, as indicated by their
acceptance speeches, knew we were with
them every step of the way on this amazing
journey! :-)
As Expected of Soshi! Congratulations and Right now, It’s Global Generation! :3
You girls deserve it!
I heard that Taeyeon was hurting because there was something wrong with her heels. I hope she’s okay.
Aww… pity we couldn’t see all nine of them. But then again, even if they have prior commitments, I do hope they get some rest now that they’re back in Korea. They’ve been on such a whirlwind tour of the world in the last few weeks.
Congratulations for winning in the Gaon charts! Two awards! Not bad at all!
SNSD, Hwaiting!!!
