On December 20th, SM Entertainment and Girls’ Generation released a teaser image through their official Twitter accounts, SMTOWN GLOBAL and Girls Generation. The text on the emblem reads, “소녀시대 2013”, with the upcoming date and time, “2012. 12. 21 10 A.M.”, underneath it. The flowers surrounding Girls’ Generation’s name symbolizes South Korea’s national flower, rose of sharon. No further details have been released, but SM Entertainment is stirring up early excitement for fans with this mysterious picture.
Girls’ Generation is rumored to have a comeback in January of 2013 with a full length Korean album. MBC is also preparing a comeback broadcast for Girls’ Generation. It will be an independently organized show apart from their music program, “Show! Music Core”.

In America, hands together like that is something meaning teamwork, togetherness, and/or unity. Way back when, when I played high school American football, we’d all put our hands in the center and say a short prayer that we’d be victorious in the upcoming game. Maybe this is a way for SNSD to pray for a great New Year and much success (which would likewise be my wish!) in all of their endeavours. To me, the girls have never gone away, so I don’t quite understand the need for a “comeback”.
Either way, best wishes to SNSD, SM Ent, and SSF for a great New Year!!
I hope the world will wait to be destroyed until girls generation brings us something new so we can all die happy…
I’M SO EXCITED. IM ABOUT TO LOSE CONTROL
Wow the picture that shows their hands on top of one another. That rushes out a lot of mixed feelings. SNSD, you girls have worked extremely hard since pre-debut and the track is definitely a piece of your hardwork. I gonna say this out loud and I believe every other sones will probably do.
Jigumeun 소녀시대!
yaeeee seriously can’t wait to see it. even the teaser it’s good it’ll give us hint about the album yaaa i’m so excited
Well,I am not korean but i really really happy cuz i do think that the girls will really really happy too.For a long time,when they were in oversea,they tired a lot.From many countries they pocessed new sones as well as anti sones,they get love as well as hate from anti.Now this is time to rest,time to come back mother country.Your home is always
warmly welcome for our girls.Right now it is SNSD,Forever it is SNSD.Sones are forever.Wish u all the best.SNSD FIGHTING.LOVE SOSHI SO MUCH.
Can’t wait for their korean comeback. I’ve been counting down since their The Boys goodbye stage
nice nice!!
even apocalypse can wait for GG’s comeback XD
I’m so excited! I’ve wanted a Korean comeback for Soshi for a loong time. And now it’s finally coming! ^^ A new year, a new song, a new generation, Girls’ Generation~ I honestly can’t wait for the new year. Forget the end of the world, Soshi is coming back!!
The Mayans can wait until after 10AM. I believe they can. After our lovely girls show whatever it is they have for us, maybe the Mayans can do something funny or spread something new … like the world will become square-shaped after 10 years. Something like that. But, if anyone knows how to reach them, tell them to wait. Because I’ve been waiting for this! No one and nothing must interfere!!!! ^________^
as one can see from the vast number
of replies to this thread, there is a lot
of excitement building over the
comeback, but also it’s proximity to
the present day! for some, it is already
upon us! as all other sone, i will wait
with painful excitement at whatever
glory snsd has in store for us! many
often criticize sm for being too close
to the actual dates with every announcement
that they make…but think about it…
we have to wait a day and that is painful
enough…imagine if we had to wait longer…
i shudder! hehe!
I’m expecting something Epic!
If you release the preview of a new music on the day of the Apocalypse it really needs to be Epic!
And I really want to see them do something Epic!
I’m think Angels with swords fighting Apocalyptic Hell Beast!
Haha, love these comments about our girls saving the world from apocalypse! I actually had a similar idea too ;D
In anyway, pretty sure tomorrow will be just like any other day, with nothing really happening.
Except for SONEs, we waited for a comeback for longer than a year so tomorrow will definitely will be special for us. Instead of worrying and thinking how to survive, we will be busy waiting for the news/teasers/anything new and later spazzing about that :D
Well,I am not korean but i really really happy cuz i do think that the girls will really really happy too.For a long time,when they were in oversea,they tired a lot.From many countries they pocessed new sones as well as anti sones,they get love as well as hate from anti.Now this is time to rest,time to come back mother country.Your home is always

PS.NO ONE NOTICE THAT THE WORLD END ON21 ST,CUZ THEY ALL FORGET BECACSE OF OUR 9 GIRLS.
PS.Who notice that the world end on21st inkorean
Okay, this is gonna be absolutely amazing! Can´t wait for next Korean single. I think its gonna be BIG!
Cryptic– new album? What? :D
<3<3
The Mayan calender never meant an end to the world, but rather a start of a new cycle.
Is this it?
The start of a new generation: Girls’ Generation.
Oh man, I love your comment! Haha, yeahh!! Girls’ Generation: A whole new generation <3
Anybody know where to look for this release of hinted teaser or whatever it is? Should I be watching it here, or their actual website or twitter? Probably twitter since that’s where they posted the teaser photo, huh? I don’t want to miss it!
The 9 goddesses are back to save us from the end of the world!!
The 9 Angels will save us all from the Apocalypse :P I’m so excited that i just got back from running outside like a fool
So this is what the Mayans where talking about!
At 10.00am on 2012.12.21 we all go to heaven.
Flowers and Nine Angels.
LOL
So true.
Omgosh!! I’m so excited!! I saw this first thing in the morning and I was like ‘finally!!!’ Haha, wow…this is cool, making use of the End of the World idea, maybe it’ll be a Mayan/apocalypse concept? Who knows? Can’t wait for more teasers! Yes yes yes!! This is gonna be exciting…
How AWESOME would it be if they released their new song on New Years’ day? I hope we get a preview a day featuring each one of the girls. Can’t wait! \o/
I’m so excited for this! It’s interesting to see everyone’s guess’ of what it’ll be. But we only have to wait two more days! Or is it one? Never been good with countdowns.. :P
I have a feeling it’s just a teaser to a teaser tho. Don’t they always do a teaser video before it is actually released? This is just an image, so a teaser video has to be on its way! I can’t accept that it’ll be another police or state official as someone suggested, since Mr. Taxi was a “taxi/police” concept and they don’t do the same concept more than once unless it’s a remake, like into a different language, even then it’s not always the same. Has anyone even noticed the wings that could be part of a concept? Like angels or something. Sure they did the angels for the intro to their ITNW concert but it wasn’t for a single. And Korean’s flower could be that it’s a traditional Korean type of thing turned modern or whatever. We just never know.
Whoa, I didn’t mean to write that much. :P Just can’t wait! <3
i got this from allkpop:
Latest reports are suggesting that this pre-release coming up is actually a remake of a famous song that the girls have worked on years ago, and they are now using this chance to reveal the track.
Sources are talking about a new song being released, possibly a remake of a “famous song” the girls used to work on years ago. Duffy’s “Mercy” is a possibility, they were supposed to make a comeback with that in 2008 (before Gee happened).
SOoo excitedd!!! The 21st is my birthdayy!! gonna be the best b-day teaser everrr!!!!!
Happy Early Birthday! =D
