On April 30th, Girls’ Generation and their fellow SM Entertainment artists attended an event showcase for SM Town’s upcoming film, “I AM”, a documentary about SM Entertainment’s artists from their pre-debut days until today. The showcase included a question-and-answer session, revealing the idols’ thoughts and various experiences as part of the company.
In the question-and-answer session, MC Byun Kisoo asked the Girls’ Generation members various questions, ranging from thoughts about their trainee days to friendships and regrets – showcasing the girls’ strong bonds and how far they’ve matured since their pre-debut days.
Jessica was asked if she had any special friends, and she revealed them to be Hyoyeon and Sooyoung, stating that they became trainees at the same time. When asked what the movie meant to her, Sooyoung showed a positive reaction to the movie, saying that “I AM” took her back to her rookie days. She said that she saw clips of herself that she didn’t remember, and that it reminded her of all the hard work she had done to get to where she’s at today. She also added that the movie is not only a gift to the fans, but a gift to the artists themselves, thanking the director of the documentary, Choi Jinsung. Hyoyeon mentioned that she regretted not being able to see her parents much during her trainee days, a situation that she shares with fellow artist Sulli.
Towards the end of the showcase, MC Byun Kisoo, a popular comedian in South Korea, jokingly told Sooyoung to move to the back during the photo-op as she was too tall. After the interview segment, autographed items were handed out to five raffle winners, and the entire event wrapped up with ‘The Boys” playing in the background.
The press photos from the event can be viewed here, and the showcase video can be downloaded here.

man..
can’t wait to see this movie to look at their trainee days!
SM family rules!
wew.. what countries will show this movie ? Are you sure it is not confirm yet in US ? I mean, this movie is going to be played in Indonesia. I think it has english subtitle, because every foreign movie played in my country has english subtitle. If not, 130 minutes watching this movie in korean will be kindaaa.. weird or lost track or boring.. LOL.. Hopefully, it has english subtitle because I have bought the ticket. zzz..
Btw as usual, TaeNy are sitting side by side.. TaeNy is real.. Xixi.. =p
I hope SM will release a DVD for this movie, because i really want to watch it( eng sub). :)
i fell the same… i can’t g0 to korea… t0 far… huhuhuhuhu….
What about the U.S? Will the movie be shown there?
Will this show only on L.A.?
sooyoung is correct to say that this documentary is as much
for the idols as it is for the fans. this isn’t a means for sm to
make a lot of money, although they will…a lot, but this is a
chronicle and a testament to the hard work and effort that
the idols have put in since they started their careers. and to
reverse the message…the idols should be proud of the work
they did, but we should too! be proud sone! we all played a
pivotal role on this amazing ride!!!
oh,I can’t see them.where is yoona??
Cool. Only YoonYul are absent. The movie’s nostalgic to the SNSD members. :) Seems like the movie will surely gross a lot. Hope to watch it in local theatres. SNSD fighting!
i hope “IAM” will be available in theaters of Philippines~~ i want to watch it! :D
If this movie is not gonna be in Malaysia.
Then i’m going to have a trip to Singapore, just to watch this!
I can’t wait to watch this! SM fighting!

my 3 biases are best friends?! O______O
awww… that’s so awesome!~ ^______^V
i want to watch this badly. sad thing, i’m not from korea.
Everybody in my country must be very excited to see this “I AM” movie, even though most of us just want to see Girls Generation there, LOL. But i know it too that most of us are hopeless that we can only wait for the DVD, why? because it will only show on a very popular theatre in our capital city. even though i don’t live in the capital city, i will try my best to grab the ticket of it
i hope this will come out on dvd so i can watch it :3 and of course i hope it’ll have subtitles too o3o
SM family fighting, this is a must watch movie for sones and sm fans alike :) cant wait for it
TaeNy laugh a lot there.. i wonder what made them laugh there lol..
