Wow, so many information I didn’t know about. And I thought I knew every SNSD-related stuff for this week.
There was also this SNSD Pop Cafe event that opened in a coffee shop in Seoul, where they sold SNSD merchandises, other than food. It goes from 7th to 17th of Feb. Some pics from the place showed a waitress wearing one of the outfits SNSD wore for IGAB performances. Of course, the girls weren’t there, since they were so busy with the concert. Apparently, there were many people on the first day.
