On July 24th, SNSD held a press conference before their “2011 Girls’ Generation Tour” in Songpagu, Seoul, where they revealed their thoughts on their tour, their popularity, and on hitting their 20’s.
The girls began, “During our concert, we sang a ballad track. The fans threw a surprise event for us where they all held up a placard that said, ‘We missed you.’ It was so moving, we all ended up crying. It was an event brought together with one heart. It was us who had to give our fans joy, but we were grateful to receive such a moving present from our fans instead. We were able to work extra hard on our performances after that, so we’re very thankful.”
When told about the K-Pop flash mobs being held all over the world, the girls said, “The biggest present of all is being able to visit each place in person. We hope that the SM Town’s seniors and juniors will be able to coordinate their schedules and go together.”
“We heard about these flash mobs through others, and realized that the only universal language is music. Thank you. We want to hurry and visit these places to sing songs and exchange emotions.”
When asked about their new mature look, they replied, “We’ve been hearing that we’ve matured a lot, but it’s not something that we were aiming to emphasize. During our earlier days, we were only high school students, but we’re all in our 20’s now. We think that we just naturally grew older and matured with time.”
Reflecting on their consistent popularity, the girls said, “We held 14 arena tours in Japan. It was a great opportunity to be able to communicate with fans from different places. Our fans continue to give us their love, and we’re both amazed and grateful for that.”

Date: 2011-07-24 08:02 pm (UTC)I've only been into k-pop for a few months but still.. I get really put off by huge bands okay, I am a person which never ever cared much about the names of individual band members until I got into Big Band, true story where all members have the same look and little to distinguish them at first sight. I know I am missing out on a lot of good stuff here but it is just so frustrating. I really want to get into bands by knowing the members ~individually~ but it is bloody hard! ;___;

Date: 2011-07-24 10:27 pm (UTC)I'm new to k-pop as well, so when I see a group's MV I usually start learning the members by their hairstyles/hair colors, lol. By the time their hairstyle changes, I'm comfortable enough to recall who is who. But with larger groups (like SNSD, U-Kiss, SuJu), I can only point out a couple of my favorite individuals and that's it. With SNSD, the girls are stunning, but I find it difficult to distinguish between them because they've all got the flawless-model look. A lot of them now have long, wavy hair, which means my nifty hair trick is useless. xD

"How could I call them "triplets" they look nothing alike"
and more..
I personally can recognize the girls just by looking at their eyes, mouths, noses, face shape, from a far away distance, in a 10x10 pixel image with terrible resolution and more xD (but i'm a hardcore Sone and i've always been good with faces)

Date: 2011-07-25 06:16 am (UTC)And yeah I'm good, I can remember someones face very fast and also their names, I got surprised myself about my ability when I started to get to know the girls in AKB48 and remember their names and faces in a short amount of time!! It's hard for me to mistake someone even when they look similar to each other.

Date: 2011-07-25 05:34 am (UTC)Also in 2009 while promoting Gee, they went on a lot of shows together and that really helped me learn to love them as a group and individually. I hope you become a fan. They're truly lovely girls. Once you get into them, you won't regret it. ♥
