thanks for the the week of news wrap :)
Fany’s hair is so pretty. Global Domination: SNSD :) Taeyeon’s laugh is lovely. Yoong :D
plz,answer is there awhole album in english because i search and ididn’t find it
There’s the Maxi Single: it only contains ‘The Boys’ and seven other ‘The Boys’ remixes. The international version of ‘The Boys’ album still contains Korean songs and The Boys (english version). Hope this was helpful.
As always I greatly enjoyed reading this! I really love the fact that girls have been so international lately! I know it must be hard on them to be all over the globe but I hope that they rest well and regret nothing! This is truly the year of Global Generation!
So Sunny’s going to be in a musical? Is she going to play the lead role? I couldn’t really understand such a brief summary. If she is that’s great. It would mean all my favorites would be musical stars. Congrats and good luck. Tiffany looks smoking hot in all the pictures shown above, by the way. Stunning, really.
I love these weekly news updates. :) Its great to see that The Boys cracked the charts in France and Spain…the girls are getting more popular around the world each day it seems!
Ahh! I want SNSD to debut in the UK!
awwwwww cute yoong! so love her!
OMG… Cutie Yoooong!!! xD
AWESOME STUFF. so much soshi activities ^^ <3 the sica star date…awesome drawing skills haha ^^ totally pumped for fashion king, and i really luv how they appear at so many fashion events and recieve so much attention from them ^^ stay well and keep strong girls, SNSD fighting!

this news wrap up sort of has my mind jumping forward
to the future…all this hype, this excitement, this
enthusiasm is for a group of girls doing a lot of individual
activities right now. yet we love them as much as ever
and they are as strong and popular as ever. usually when
band members seek individual career opportunities, the
excitement and popularity of the band, their momentum,
seems to taper down, possibly to the point of disbandment.
however, that is not happening here. we are unsure how
long they will remain girls’ generation, hopefully for a long
time to come, but their individual careers are guaranteed
to expand beyond even that horizon. so if we can keep the
same style of support in place that we have now, this may
just last a very long time, even if we only follow their individual
endeavors many years from now. but, personally, i think if we
are able to do that, they will still be girls’ generation too.
right now…from now on…forever…girls’ generation!!!
