Remember those four adorable selca pics Taeyeon revealed last week? Well, she has revealed a new selca via her UFO today! How can you say no to that pout-y, but too cute face?? Heart melting especially with the green pillow, isn’t it?!

As we all know, Kpop seems to be growing bigger and bigger these days! Recently, our Brighter than Jewels Tiffany made a short appearance on the History Channel program “South Korea: A Nation to Watch”. Being one of the two members who can fluently speak English (the other being our Ice Princess Jessica), she spoke about the globalization of Kpop music and how the internet has helped to make the music readily available to Kpop lovers worldwide. Looks to be another daebak for Kpop! SNSD fighting!
Well, as I had commented in an earlier post reply, the Singapore press were specially invited to witness the girls’ recent concert at Seoul Olympic Stadium over the recent weekend.
Under the auspices of Running Into The Sun (RITS) and the Korean Tour Organisation (KTO) Singapore, xinmsn, the Singapore based entertainment web portal got to witness firsthand the phenomenon that is SNSD.
Boy, were they impressed 
To top it off, 84 Singaporean fans, under the Soshified umbrella, got a chance to do a shout-out for our little island nation, eliciting a sweet response (in English, no less) from our dear Tiffany (read about it in the news report below).
But, you know what was the icing on this Soshi-news cake ? It is the fact that official confirmation has been given that the 9 ladies will be visiting our fair Singaporean shores with a full Soshi concert (SNSD 2nd Asian Tour) 
That’s right, Running Into The Sun (RITS), the Singapore entertainment company that brought in Super Junior and SHINee earlier this year (and their full concert programme) have officially confirmed that they will be getting the 9 ladies to our humble to do what they do best: give us SONEs a full-SNSD concert experience.
So, my fellow Singaporean and South-East Asian SONEs, look forward to experiencing a real SNSD concert on Singapore soil very soon in the near future. Start saving up now !
Right, enough spazzing on my part 
Cheeky winks here, pouty grins there and big hearts everywhere — these were the ‘gifts’ from the girls of Girls’ Generation, or better known as So Nyeo Shi Dae (SNSD), to the 8,000-strong crowd at the Seoul Olympic Gymnasium in Seoul, Korea.
At the invitation of Running Into The Sun (RITS) and the Korean Tour Organisation (KTO) Singapore, xinmsn was in Seoul to attend the 2011 Girls’ Generation Tour over the weekend.
The press conference before the concert on Jul 24 started punctually, with the girls answering to every question posed to them.
Eighty-four Singaporean fans — with the oldest fan being 77 years old — travelled to Korea on a special tour package from KTO Singapore. When Girls’ Generation was told about that, Tiffany – who was fluent in English — spoke for the nine-member group.
“Thank you for flying all the way here for our concert. We’d love to see our Singapore fans if we have the chance to,” she said.
The concert began at about 4pm KST, and what better way to start the show than to ask the fans what their wish was?
Decked in similar white, crocheted corset tops, tantalising shorts and knee-length boots, Girls’ Generation kicked off the concert with ‘Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)’. The group also performed Korean versions of their new Japanese singles ‘Mr. Taxi’ and ‘Let It Rain’ for the first time.
The nine girls delivered top-notched performances as a group; but it was during each of their solo performances that their individuality truly shone through.
First to conquer the stage alone was Hyoyeon, who appeared on stage dressed in a sexy white leotard. Arguably the best dancer in the group, the petite girl danced to Rihanna’s ‘Don’t Stop the Music’.
Dressed in a rhinestone-studded tube dress with a long, feathered train, Jessica — also known to fans as the ‘Ice Princess’ — chose to show a more mellow side, as she played the piano and sang ‘Almost’, a ballad from Canadian R&B singer Tamia.
The usually adorable Sunny explored her sexy and edgy side when she appeared on stage in a black leotard and stockings, coupled with a pink cropped jacket, singing and dancing to Britney Spears’ ‘Three’.
Taeyeon and Tiffany later turned the concert hall into a cabaret, performing to ‘Lady Marmalade’ from the 2001 movie, Moulin Rouge. Naming Janet Jackson as her idol, Yuri performed the singer’s chart-topping single ‘If’, exhibiting a tougher image.
Sooyoung surprised the crowd by doing the cha cha to the Pussycat Dolls’ ‘Sway’.
Maknae (youngest of the group) Seohyun brought the audience back to the ’60s, as she sang Betty Hutton’s ‘Stuff Like That There’ and tap-danced in a little black dress with an up-do reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn’s in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Last but definitely not least, Yoona — decked in a white shirt and bell-bottomed velvet pants — shed her innocent image during her solo performance. The 21-year-old danced tantalisingly to Madonna’s ’4 Minutes’, where she stripped to a pair of white shorts in the last bit of her dance.
The three-hour concert ended with Girls’ Generation performing their past hits such as ‘Gee’, ‘Oh!’ as well as their debut track ‘Into The New World’.
If you local SONES (fans of Girls’ Generation) thought you’re missing out, fret not. Running Into The Sun (RITS) will be bringing the girls and their much-awaited concert tour to Singapore, with the dates to be announced at a later time.
(Hmmm….it looks like my dream to do a shout-out for the SNSDKorean blogsite may come true after all

The girls are finally back in a DAUM CF!
This new CF was released on the 25th of July and features the 9 members of SNSD dressed as heavenly angels! They are seen advertising the DAUM Cloud application, which is a mobile app that allows you to easily access uploaded files that you have stored via the Cloud service. It also makes it easy for you to share files and photos from your mobile. It is technically their second advertisement for the service, they sang a short song for the app in early July.
I don’t know about you guys but I just love DAUM CF’s for making the girls play fun roles (angels, police interrogators etc…). They fit right in with the whole cloud and heaven setting. I can’t wait for the Behind the Scenes shooting of the commercial that DAUM typically has for most of their Soshi advertisements (hopefully they shot it).
For all the Tiffany fans, unfortunately she was left out of this CF (unknown reasons), but I’m sure she’ll be in the next CF (Yes it does suck that we don’t get to see her dressed as an angel). However the rest of the girls all look awesome dressed as angels. So can you guys still blame us for calling them the angelic 9?
Also heres the original advertisement they shot for DAUM Cloud as well as the Jingle they sang.

Our own Seoul concert recap posts are coming. Stay tuned!
You’ve read it right! It’s another moment we’ve all been waiting for! Next month (~August 19th), the DVD of their first Asia tour, “Into The New World“, will be released. Aside from the 2-Disc DVD, The 1st Asia Tour: Into the New World DVD set will include an 80-page concert photobook and a poster as well.
If you remember, the girls kicked off their very first Asia tour in Seoul in December of 2009 at Seoul’s Olympic Park Fencing Stadium. Initially, they were to hold only 2 concerts in Seoul on the 19th and 20th, but due to success of their first one, they held 2 encore concerts in Seoul on February 27th and 28th. They then continued their tour overseas in countries including China, Thailand, Taiwan, and Japan.
However, the 2-disc DVD that is set to release soon will be a live recording of only their February 2010 encore concert held in Seoul. Regardless, the DVD will be packed with both the girls’ special performances as well as solo stages. The DVD will consist:
