On January 11th, the “Girls’ Generation’s World Tour – Girls & Peace” made a stop in Bangkok, Thailand. Held at the IMPACT Arena, this marked the first stop of Girls’ Generation’s world tour in 2014.
SM Entertainment uploaded a short video message from Girls’ Generation as the members said a few encouraging words in preparation for the Bangkok concert. Before the concert began, Hyoyeon posted a new photo from the rehearsal on her Instagram account to express her excitement. Yuri also took to Instagram, posting a handwritten cue card in Thai, Korean, and English. The message reads, “Let’s have a lot of fun!”
Before the concert kicked off, the nine ladies held a short press conference. Wearing the usual pink performance outfits, the members answered a few questions posed to them by the MCs. Photos from the press conference can be found by visiting Soshified’s Photos Section.
The concert kicked off with the usual opening and setlist, as the girls performed “Hoot”, “Animal”, “The Boys”, “I Got A Boy”, and many other fan favorites as the concert went on. During the first introduction, the girls greeted all the fans and even spoke a little bit of Thai.
During the concert, SONEs were able to show their love for Girls’ Generation as many fan events were prepared and executed. For “Say Yes”, SONEs did a two-part event in which fans first held up a sign saying, “LET ME TH?NK”, and then brought out different signs with “YES!” printed on them.
Taeyeon would later post two photos on her Instagram to show her appreciation for the projects, specifically the rainbow ocean, which lit up the venue during “Promise” and “Baby Baby”, and the “ALWAYS HERE” sign event, which could be seen during “Forever”.
Fans in attendance would also illuminate the stadium with the iconic pink ocean and sing “Complete” for the girls, to which Taeyeon and Tiffany exclaimed, “So good!”
In between performances, Seohyun gave fans a small preview of her upcoming musical, “Moon That Embraces the Sun“, by singing what she’s been practicing so diligently for. Of course, her unnies were there to give her the type of support fans have come to expect, holding up their microphones around her face.
It’s become a custom for fans to greet as well as send the girls off at the airport. Taeyeon uploaded a video on her Instagram account to thank the fans for the tremendous support and for coming to say farewell to the members even after the concert.
Sunny also later posted a photo of herself and Yoona on Instagram. Her caption reads, “The Thailand concert was fun #ggtour”.

its was my first time attending concert (not including the Twin Towers @Live 2012, where soshi were there too) and i have to admit that the Thai SONE are so dedicated. For a foreigner like me there, that doesn’t speak their language, they try their best to assist me with their limited english. And Thai SONE’s event are so successful, something that i don’t think my country could have do so well. I will definately go to Thailand for future soshi concerts.
Great ~♥
Phuket: Sawadika :-D ahh those memories…
anyway thank you SSF staffs for working hard in keeping us updated. keep doing what y’all are doing. :)
that sweat outfit Hyo is wearing looks dope. i wouldn’t mind owning them.
Great to hear about this show. Most of the news articles updated on here today I already read about earlier in the week on other sites. Soshified is lacking lately and it’s sad. I didn’t really see much news about this concert, however, so it’s nice that it’s finally up. I hope Soshified can do better in the future. I would like to find all the news on the girls here rather than having to go search for it.
why don’t you apply for writer position then and spend lots and lots of time researching for news and upload it on here? to be a writer, you need TIME and lots of it according to what the application for this position stated.
Thai sones always surprised me with their fan events. They are so sweet. I hope they could get enough rest before another tour starts.
I didn’t know about the Sones’ event for “Say Yes” song. That was sweet. :)
