[2011.09.01] Billboard Korea Interviews Girls' Generation

On August 14, at the "2011 SUMMER SONIC" held at Makuhari Messe, when we asked Girls' Generation, who was about to go on stage, "Which of Girls' Generation's charms have appealed to overseas fans?" their answer was an unexpected one. The nine members were clearly modest and did not present a showy manner, unlike many popular stars. It seemed like they were calmly taking in the happiness of standing as the last act of the final day of one of Japan's greatest music festivals, "SUMMER SONIC". With the night coming to an end in Japan's Makuhari Messe Convention Center, we met with Girls' Generation in the waiting room. They said, "People being so enthusiastic after seeing us shows just how much love K-Pop is receiving," disregarding their own fame. As their strongest point, they stated, "When looking at foreign artists, there are a lot of soloists. On the other hand, all nine of us have our own colors, and have fresh appeal [to people]." They emphasized, "I think the charms they see when we perform, which can't be seen through a solo artist, gives us a higher appraisal." The nine member female dance group, Girls' Generation, have been gaining attention in Europe as singers that make others want to dance along to their upbeat, dance rhythms. They are moving towards the worldwide market by overcoming European prejudice that Asians are at a disadvantage musically through their talents and efforts. Girls' Generation showed the confidence they gained through recent overseas stages by saying, "When looking at K-Pop artists, each member has their own charms, and they all vary from singing and dancing well." However, as the bias of "dance groups are artists that make you concentrate more on their performance than singing" is high, it is inevitable that problems have followed the girls. On this, they stated, "Rather than showing how perfect we are, we want to show us doing our best. Whether it's our singing or performance, rather than a perfect stage, we want to be able to give strength to people." They added, "If they feel happiness watching our performances, I think how we are now is more precious than [people's] judgements. That is the exact reason why we get on stage." One of Korea's biggest music companies, SM Entertainment, debuted the nine-member girl group on August 2, 2007 with their first single "Into the New World". From there, they have grown into a popular idol group with the release of hit songs "Oh!", "Gee", and "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)". Girls' Generation's official debut into the Japanese market in November of last year, in particular, led to them becoming the first Korean girl group to rank first in the Oricon daily chart with their second single "Gee". Their first official album "Girls' Generation", which released in Japan in June, sold approximately 500,000 copies, showing their success as Hallyu artists. Girls' Generation stated, "When debuting overseas, rather than wanting to create records with numbers, our goal was to enjoy any stage we perform on, and make it so we can give strength to one another. But honestly, we wonder what the limit of 'Girls' Generation' is in the foreign market." Starting on September 2, Girls' Generation will be meeting with Japanese fans once again through the SM TOWN LIVE IN TOKYO DOME concert.

[2011.09.01] Choi Soojin Speaks of Her Sister Sooyoung's Recent Car Accident

On August 31, SBS's "Midnight TV Entertainment" reported news on Sooyoung's injury from her car accident on August 28. The accident on August 28 occurred near the Gyeongbu Expressway and was caused by a negligent driver. The driver hit the car Sooyoung was in by crossing over into the center lane. It was revealed that the accident happened while Sooyoung was on her way to a charity event for the blind and vision-impaired. Her sister, Choi Soojin, who is currently active as a musical actress, stated, "There was a lot of blood. At the time, I was extremely shocked and thought she might even die." She continued, "Her tailbone is currently fractured. It's not like she can get a cast, and there isn't a specific method of treatment, so they said she just has to rest. I don't think she will be able to participate in any upcoming schedules. If it's something that doesn't require much movement, she said she could do it, so as long as it isn't too extreme, I think she could move."

[2011.08.31] Girls' Generation's Endorsement Helps Raise Coway Sales By 400%

On the 31st, Woongjin Coway revealed, "The sales volume of the Ice Water Purifier, modeled by Girls' Generation last April, has had a sales volume increase by 400% compared to the same time from the previous year. Through their advertisement effect, our recently released Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier's sales volume have been increasing greatly." Woongjin Coway signed Girls' Generation on as their models last March. The 'Coway, Please Take Care Of Mom' campaign used Girls' Generation's friendly, luxurious image, to strengthen Korea's number one water purifier brand and expand their consumers from the partial age group of 40s~50s to those in their 20s~30s. Woongjin Coway's Ice Water Purifier, Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier, and other products connected the product's technical skills with Girls' Generation's nine members' different charms. By relating Yuri with the Ice Water Purifier and Yoona with the Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier, they have been using each girl's unique advertising effect to the fullest. According to Woongjin Coway, after the CF for the ice water purifier was aired in April, the sales volume increased during the second quarter by 400% compared to the previous year. The sales volume of the Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier modeled by Yoona in June increased by 38% compared to other ice water purifiers. Woongjin Coway's marketing communication's team leader, Kim Junhyun stated, "With seasons being a huge factor in sales volume for ice water purifiers, and seeing how it's increased 4 times that of results from around the same time the previous year, Girls' Generation's CFs were a considerable contribution to increasing the awareness and reasons for purchasing the products." Not only has Girls' Generation's CFs increased sales, but they have also contributed in improving the brand's image. In order to analyze Girls' Generation's advertisement effect, they worked with Cheil Worldwide Inc., holding an online poll directed towards 100 females living in Seoul, between the ages of 25~39. The results showed that after Girls' Generation's CFs, 81% of voters said Coway was the first water purifier brand that came to mind. The brand that stood in second only received 10% of the total votes. It was also voted the brand they prefer the most with 56% of votes, gaining 3~4 times more votes than the brand in second place.

[2011.08.31] Girls' Generation's Endorsement Helps Raise Coway Sales By 400%

On the 31st, Woongjin Coway revealed, "The sales volume of the Ice Water Purifier, modeled by Girls' Generation last April, has had a sales volume increase by 400% compared to the same time from the previous year. Through their advertisement effect, our recently released Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier's sales volume have been increasing greatly." Woongjin Coway signed Girls' Generation on as their models last March. The 'Coway, Please Take Care Of Mom' campaign used Girls' Generation's friendly, luxurious image, to strengthen Korea's number one water purifier brand and expand their consumers from the partial age group of 40s~50s to those in their 20s~30s. Woongjin Coway's Ice Water Purifier, Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier, and other products connected the product's technical skills with Girls' Generation's nine members' different charms. By relating Yuri with the Ice Water Purifier and Yoona with the Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier, they have been using each girl's unique advertising effect to the fullest. According to Woongjin Coway, after the CF for the ice water purifier was aired in April, the sales volume increased during the second quarter by 400% compared to the previous year. The sales volume of the Self-Sterilizing Ice Water Purifier modeled by Yoona in June increased by 38% compared to other ice water purifiers. Woongjin Coway's marketing communication's team leader, Kim Junhyun stated, "With seasons being a huge factor in sales volume for ice water purifiers, and seeing how it's increased 4 times that of results from around the same time the previous year, Girls' Generation's CFs were a considerable contribution to increasing the awareness and reasons for purchasing the products." Not only has Girls' Generation's CFs increased sales, but they have also contributed in improving the brand's image. In order to analyze Girls' Generation's advertisement effect, they worked with Cheil Worldwide Inc., holding an online poll directed towards 100 females living in Seoul, between the ages of 25~39. The results showed that after Girls' Generation's CFs, 81% of voters said Coway was the first water purifier brand that came to mind. The brand that stood in second only received 10% of the total votes. It was also voted the brand they prefer the most with 56% of votes, gaining 3~4 times more votes than the brand in second place. Woongjin Coway's marketing headquarters director also revealed, "Along with the increased sales volume with Girls' Generation's advertising campaign, we were able to establish a dominant consumer age group of those in their 20s~30s, establishing strong brand power.

[2011.08.30] Girls' Generation's Tiffany Shares Her Thoughts on Musical Debut

At the press conference held on the 30th of August,Tiffany revealed, "While the other members of Girls' Generation were doing their musicals I was also steadily practising my acting and singing" Tiffany is the third Girls' Generation member after Taeyeon and Jessica to participate in a musical. Her role in the upcoming musical "Fame", is a rebellious girl with a burning passion to become a star called Carmen Diaz. Tiffany also shared with everyone, "Luckily I came upon a role that I have confidence in. If I encounter any difficulty, I can ask for advice from my friends who have already debuted in musicals. Something I have in common with my character is that in America I had dreams of becoming a singer so I came to Korea, and after going through my training period, I debuted. During my trainee days I had that passion and I think it will be easy to express the person that I was not too long ago. We have similarities and we have differences too so I must work hard at that to fulfill the role." Tiffany stated that she is preparing a lot for her first musical challenge and said, "As of now I can't explain how I will perform, but I'm studying the movie closely and watching the musical again. I am continually practicing the script and music. I want to act naturally so that the audience will be able to sympathize with the character." Based on the 1980 film of the same name, the musical, "Fame", premiered in 1988 and has had productions all over the world. The musical was first introduced to Korea in 2005. This is a teen musical that takes place in La Guardia, an Arts school in New York, and it shows the dreams and sorrows of aspiring artists who have wishes of becoming stars.

During my trainee days I had that passion and I think it will be easy to express the person that I was not too long ago. We have similarities and we have differences too so I must work hard at that to fulfill the role." Tiffany stated that she is preparing a lot for her first musical challenge and said, "As of now I can't explain how I will perform, but I'm studying the movie closely and watching the musical again. I am continually practicing the script and music. I want to act naturally so that the audience will be able to sympathize with the character." Based on the 1980 film of the same name, the musical, "Fame", premiered in 1988 and has had productions all over the world. The musical was first introduced to Korea in 2005. This is a teen musical that takes place in La Guardia, an Arts school in New York, and it shows the dreams and sorrows of aspiring artists who have wishes of becoming stars.
