Girls’ Generation’s promotions this past week in the United States have been making headlines outside of America. Several news channels around the world talked briefly about their appearances on American television and the subsequent interviews they participated in.
“La Sexta”, a Spanish news channel, aired several clips of Girls’ Generation, including their performances and interviews in New York, clips from music videos, and even a short clip on their visit to a Korean army base. According to mrotaik@twitter, the news clip mentioned that this is the first time a South Korean group has been seen on a Spanish music chart. The news clip can be seen below.
Girls’ Generation was also featured on Malaysian news channel “NTV7”, Ukrainian news channel “News One Channel”, the French television show “Morandini”, Italian entertainment channel “RAI 5”, Indonesian network channel “TRANS”, Brazilian news network “Leitura Dinâmica”, and Vietnamese news channel “VTV1”. They all covered Girls’ Generation’s promotions in New York. The videos can be found below.
Japan’s “TBS News” traveled to New York and attended the short press conference held by Girls’ Generation. During the press conference, the girls were asked a variety of questions including, “What is Girls’ Generation’s objective?” Laughter broke out among those attending the press conference as Tiffany wittily answered, “World domination. Just kidding.”
“Global Generation” is underway as news channels around the world are shifting their focus onto Girls’ Generation.
Thanks to whyFanywhy for the the Brazilian and Vietnamese videos.

Anybody else who can understand spanish and was irritated at what–and how–they spoke about the girls? I was; they sounded so demeaning. They don’t understand SNSD or KPop for that matter. Anyways, I’m happy, they are getting a greater amount of worlwide recognition.
SNSD jjang!
AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´m from Spain, and i didn’t watch La sexta news, where was I?!?!!? T_T
Hehe, GG for world domination!
The spanish tv commentary is pretty bad. Your basic european superiority at work (and i speak as a european) of we invented world culture. That tv channel is known for being controversial (and liking the attention it gets) and the video basically made fun of the girls, selling them as packaged tweeny pop publicity stunt whose mvs resemble ‘adverts for female hygenic products’- at the point where they show oh!’ that can’t sing and are too many girls that look alike. They dont really get how big they are in korea and other countries. They did mention they managed to get in at number 64 of spanihs charts but thats hardly an achievement- mostly because cd sales in spain are ridicuolously low (i admit we are a nation of dowloaders- a lot of megaupload traffic came from spain and we’re only behind china in pircay) with platinum dics being 25k when in the early 2000s it was 500k. To get a number 1 it would be more than enough with 10k so they probablr sold around the hundreds.
SoShi jjang!
Doesn’t care bout what bad things of other ppl said bout SoShi.
What i want to say is “really proud of our girls, proud to be Sones!”
BRAZILIAN SONE HERE! I’M SO PROUD!!!!!
GG for world domination!
But before that, we need to get The Boys on the billboard 100.
Everyone, contact your radio stations and request The Boys!!
Wow World domination. SONE let’s make Tiffany’ s speech come true
they should really do the world domination thing
WOW! the girls is really awesome XD
they on Insert?! O.o whoa I missed it D:
Oh no, i really think that the spanish girl has a very wrong idea, she said things like THE STYLE DOESN’T MATTER, THE IMPORTANT THING IS WHAT THEY SELL, i mean, what? she is taking about the appearance all the time, and that’s not the most important idea. They also said ‘maybe their videos are closer to a intimate feminine hygiene ad, but it’s working for them’, ‘these girls are a delight with their dances, their miniskirts and thein EVEN SING, although THAT, in the music groups of THIS TYPE, IS THE LEAST IMPORTANT. And say again, WHAT? the least important? they must be kidding. but i don’t judge them, all this world domination is just so new for them…
Tiffany:” World domination, just kidding.”
SONES:” You heard her! TIME FOR GG TO BEGIN THEIR WORLD DOMINATION!!!”
Tiffany:” oopsy…”
