[Soshi9] The Girls Are Here

23rd March 2012, is a day unlike any other. For the first time, our girls, the Girls' Generation, has finally set foot on the vast land of Malaysia, upon invitation to perform at the “Twin Towers@Live 2012 concert".

At 3.30 a.m sharp, we have moved out to KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) in time for our girls' arrival. Unexpectedly, though having our members properly stationed at various gateways, we were unable to meet with the girls as they have left the airport via another special passage, which is not accessible by unauthorized personal.

SoShi reaching the airport in Malaysia.

Disappointed, we left the airport in grief, to take a short break. One may wonder, "Why didn't you went to watch their performance at KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre) ?" We would, but, we knew that it will be near IMPOSSIBLE for us to reach the airport in time, as the girls are departing to Korea after their grand performance.

Managed to snap a picture with some passionate and dedicated SONES.

After replenishing our energy, we head back to the airport, crossing our fingers and hoped for the best.

Awaiting at the entrance, with our lovely and awesome banner.

In additional, the members of Soshi9 have also prepared a gift for Girls' Generation.

The content inside, is non-other than the Soshi9's official t-shirts.
Available here, Soshi9 T-shirt (choose khong0907 as your dealer).

Roughly an hour later, airport securities started gathering near the entrance. We felt the tension building, our heart beat began to rise. This was a clear indication, a sign, showing...THEY ARE COMING.

SoShi wasn't kidding when they sing 
"Girls' Generation make you feel the heat ! "

Finally, they are here, THE GIRLS whom we have been longing to see for hours, no, DAYS, no, MONTHS ! Sones started shouting and chanting upon SoShi's arrival, which was expected. The girls stepped down from their vehicles, only resulting the fans to roar and cheer even louder. Then, the securities began to guard them to the VIP Lounge of the airport.

Securities executing their task.

The one and only Girls' Generation.

Girls’ Generation rocks Malaysia at “Twin Towers @Live 2012″ concert

Earlier in the week, we reported that Girls’ Generation would be in Malaysia on March 23rd to perform at the “Twin Towers@Live 2012 concert“. Well, the girls put on an amazing performance in front of thousands of fans!
The concert was held at KLCC park, below the Petronas Twin Towers, the world’s tallest twin towers. According to reports, the girls arrived in Malaysia around 5PM local time and left back to Korea around midnight. According to fan accounts, the girls performed 6 songs. After their performances were over, there were still many more artists to perform, but a good portion of the crowd immediately left the venue.
Additionally, it seems due to scheduling conflicts, member Yuri couldn’t attend the concert.

Oricon’s CEO discusses Girls’ Generation, B2ST, T-ara, & K-pop

CEO Koike Koh of the Oricon Corporation experienced something completely new on February 22nd. At the first ever Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards that took place in Seoul that night, Koike himself stepped onto the red carpet. How did it feel to be in front of 150 reporters and a combined number of 300 Korean & Japanese fans?
It was the first time in my life I felt like that,” he said.”I said to myself,So this is what it feels like for the stars who step out on the red carpet.’ I was also surprised at the loud cheers of the Korean fans.”
Oricon is the holding company at the head of a Japanese corporate group that supplies statistics and information on music and the music industry in Japan. The Oricon chart is a respectable and reliable source, and can be compared to the UK Chart in England, as well as the US Billboard.
Launched in 1968, the Oricon also served as the model when the format for the Korean Gaon Chart was created.
As someone who has closely observed the influence of K-pop grow over the years, CEO Koike sat down for an interview, and discussed what he sees as the charm of the fast growing world of K-pop, as well as the philosophy behind the well-respected Oricon chart.
Q. At the Gaon K-pop awards, you presented Girls’ Generation with the ‘Oricon Special Award’. What do you think is the secret to Girls’ Generation’s success in Japan?
A. Girls’ Generation debuted in Japan with their showcase at the Tokyo Ariake Colosseum. Although it was just a mini live performance for the fans who had purchased their CD, I was very surprised at how intensely young Japanese women responded to Girls’ Generation. None of other industry professionals, nor I, had ever imagined that young women could respond to a girl group like that. The marketing strategy of SM Entertainment and Universal Japan that targeted young female fans, was very effective.
Q. Between Taeyeon, who was the MC of the ceremony, and YoonA, who was the award presenter, do you like more?
A. For me, it would be YoonA (laughs). However, all nine members possess the talent and looks. It’s something I had felt before at their mini live performance, but I once again asked myself, ‘How were they able to bring together members like these into one group?’ It’s very surprising. In Japan, it would be no easy task bringing together nine people like them. To be honest, I met Lee Soo Man of SM Entertainment in Japan two years ago and pondered, ‘How much of this would become reality?’ as he explained to me about the concept of Girls’ Generation. It seems that dream has been achieved now.

Q. Besides Korean artists who are already well known in Japan like Girls’ Generation, TVXQ, KARA, and BoA, are there any artists or groups that you are anticipating?
A. I was so surprised at last night’s ceremony. It seems artists possessing a variety of talents are being born endlessly in Korea. I was able to feel the depth of K-pop. Specifically, I saw B2ST‘s live performance for the first time yesterday, and felt that their performance level was very high. It was very memorable how the members used [every part of their body] down to the tips of their fingers to express themselves. T-ara‘s visual concept and techno pop dance tracks were unique. I believe that T-ara will continue to gain much popularity in Japan.
Q. Japan’s representative girl group is AKB48. What is something that AKB48 possesses that Korean girl groups do not?
A. Even during their debut period, they were still amateurs. However, Japan has a unique culture in that we enjoy watching idols grow and improve [with time]. I’m referring to the enjoyment of watching each member’s dance or vocal skills, or visuals improve gradually. Also fans [in Japan] hold an election once a year, in which they participate in determining the  next activities of the artists. Through this kind of process, the amount of fans grow as well. AKB48′s producer explained that the beginning concept was ‘an idol you feel as if you can meet up with anytime’. Even now, if you buy seven of their CDs, you can shake hands and talk with the girls for 10 seconds.
Q. Oricon Chart is one that is respected and reported about almost daily by the Korean media. It is one that lives up to the name it stands for (‘Original Confidence’). What is the secret?
A. ‘Oricon’ has one more meaning, which is ‘Consumer Oriented’. It means to look at things from the consumer’s perspective, and help them see things that they weren’t able to before. ‘Accurately investigating into the overflooding and distortion of information to provide reliable data’ – this is Oricon’s philosophy.

Girls’ Generation Contributes to the Success of K-pop in Japan


On February 16th, Oricon, a company which reports music sales in Japan, announced that Korean music CD and DVD products have seen the largest market scale increase in Japan yet. Though sales in the music disc marketplace have been continually decreasing the past five years, sales of Japanese music discs by Korean artists rapidly increased in 2011 and reached a record high of 24,470,000,000 yen.

The total sales from Girls’ Generation’s album, “Girls’ Generation” (sales in 2011: 2,960,000,000 yen), and KARA’s album, “Super Girl” (sales in 2011: 2,080,000,000 yen), were a drastic 22.3% increase compared to last year’s sales during the same months. Since the survey began in 2008, sales by Korean artists have increased each year. From 2009 (before the advance of KARA and Girls’ Generation to Japan) to 2011, the sales share of Korean artists in the Japanese market rose by 4.8% and increased the sales base by 2.3 times. In 2010 alone, the market share grew from 6% to 7.8%.

After 2010′s whirlwind Japan debuts by Korean girl groups KARA and Girls’ Generation, 2011 saw many male artists making their Japan debut. These artists included 2PM, Jang Geunsuk, SHINee, Beast, and others. A total of ten singles and albums from Tohoshinki, Big Bang, Girls’ Generation, KARA, Jang Geunsuk, T-ara, 2NE1, and more reached number one on 2011′s weekly rankings for music sales. This was the highest number of first place rankings by Korean artists since the beginning of album rankings in 1970, exceeding the previous record of five in 2008.

Furthermore, in the ranking for yearly album sales, Girls’ Generation’s “Girls’ Generation” (642,000 copies sold) and KARA’s “Super Girl” (451,000 copies sold) both entered the top ten. Sales by artists also reached a new high, with KARA (4,930,000,000 yen, 4th), Girls’ Generation (4,050,000,000 yen, 5th), and Tohoshinki (2,660,000,000 yen, 9th) in the top ten of total yearly sales.

Jessica Talks About Her First Attempt in Acting

Jessica expressed positive feelings on her first time acting in a drama.

Girls’ Generation’s Jessica is playing the role of Kang Jonghee in the KBS 2TV Wednesday/Thursday drama, “Wild Romance”. Although Jessica has starred in a musical before, this would be her first attempt in acting.

The Jessica we saw through the interview was a person who was nervous but overflowing with willpower. On the subject of new challenges, Jessica stated, “I am having fun with it. I wish there was more time, so I’m sad.” Jessica also said, “It is true that my appearance on ‘Wild Romance’ was decided in a rush. I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare because there was also a lot of overseas schedules for Girls’ Generation. I feel a bit sad that I couldn’t focus on just the drama. However, I’m really happy that I could experience something new.”

Girls’ Generation is currently active not only in Korea, but also in Asia, as well as the United States and Europe. Despite all the activities they had, it did not change during the filming of “Wild Romance”. Jessica even had to return to Korea first, alone, after completing schedules overseas. Jessica, who usually sleeps a lot, had to continue on acting with barely any sleep. Jessica said, “I could not get a lot of sleep. I was worried I would look tired in the drama. It is true that I was physically exhausted.” She laughed and added, “However, there were a lot of things that I learned through this drama.”

In the drama, Jessica had to cry in many scenes. This is difficult for a first drama attempt. On this, Jessica stated, “Emotional scenes were actually the most fun for me. I like myself focusing and immersing myself in an emotion.”

Recently, Jessica was “dumped” by the male lead in the drama, Park Mooyeol, who is played by Lee Dongwook. When asked about how it felt to be “dumped”, her cheeky personality showed and Jessica laughed.

Jessica also reminisced on her kiss scene with Lee Dongwook.

Through a recent interview with NewsEn, Jessica talked about her kiss scene with Lee Dongwook that garnered much attention not too long ago. Jessica recalled, “I acted out a kiss scene elsewhere before. But at that time I ‘acted’ like I did, so I was really nervous about this one.”

She laughed and said, “Before we started filming, I was told, ‘You really have to do this kiss scene,’ and I got nervous.” Jessica seemed shy about it and also added, “I shot the kiss scene comfortably by just going along with Lee Dongwook sunbae’s lead.”

When asked, “Were there any NGs?” she answered, “There were NGs… There were lesser NGs than I thought. But, there were a lot of cut scenes, so we had to shoot a lot.”

SM Entertainment slams doctored photos of Girls’ Generation

Provided by CompanyThe agency of worldwide sensation Girls’ Generation has promised to take legal action against the person who posted online doctored photos of nude women who were supposedly members of the girl group.

“We will take all steps necessary to right this wrong,” a representative from SM Entertainment said on Feb. 16. “The person should not just be held responsible for creating the phony picture but also for uploading it and spreading it online.”

On Feb. 15, a picture described as a nude picture of the girl group began circulating on an adult Web site. The faces of the Girls’ Generation singers were pasted onto naked female bodies in the picture.

This isn’t the first time that the girl group has been involved in a nude photo scandal. In a similar case in 2010, a photo appeared online with the girls’ faces pasted onto models’ bodies. Police investigated but dropped the case when they discovered that the perpetrator was a teenager.

SM Entertainment has asked police to investigate the new case on possible charges of defamation.

February has been a busy month for creepy fans with Photoshop skills. Trot singer Jang Yoon-jung and actress Kim Min-jung have also seen fake nude photos of themselves uploaded to the Internet in the past few weeks.
