Previous article from 12/05/04:
Girls’ Generation will be performing alongside other artists at the Google Headquarters, located in San Jose, California.
The group will perform at an employee-only event on May 21st at 6PM PST with TVXQ, Super Junior, KARA, SISTAR, MBLAQ, BEAST, and the Wonder Girls. This will be the first time a K-Pop concert of this scale will be held in the Bay Area.
The concert will also be the first ever K-Pop event to be broadcast by Google, alongside Korean network, MBC. Regarding the concert, a staff member said, “The interest in local concert holders has increased with word of Korean singers performing at Google headquarters. Korean singers’ concerts were usually at the focus of resident Koreans, but this Google concert will have local American pop fans. This will prove that Korean artists’ concerts don’t only appeal to Korean fans, but to global fans. We are predicting that through this concert, the demand for Korean singers’ concerts in the US will increase greatly.”
Meanwhile, the day before the concert at Google, SM artists will be holding the SMTOWN LIVE WORLD TOUR III concert at the Honda Center in the Los Angeles area on May 20th.

Yep. Employees only.

Girls jjang!
Jjang! This concert is without a doubt an event to mark the official partnership between Google and Kpop, that began with the creation of an all Kpop channel on Google and the myriad channels of Kpop artists, which Google manages, updates and stores ^ ^)
Nooooooo. I almost got an internship @ Google for the summer :'( and turned down another internship in San Jose :'(((((((((. Really regretting this now. When will they come to Canada?!?!?!?
My elf friend told me about this yesterday.
I can’t go to the Sm concert and what’s even worse is that I’m going to Disneyland in California a week before they come :(
The Google concert is an amazing opportunity though :)
