genie's release postponed

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

SNSD's second mini album "소원을 말해봐(Genie)" was postponed to June 29.

SM Entertainment said "We used military icons on album cover, however it was interpreted and understood in a way we didn't expected. So we are planning to delete the part and put an icon of Korean supersonic jet T-50."

Therefore, album release date was postponed from 25th to 29th. Also MP3 release date was changed. Only "Etude" will be released on 25th and the rest are going to be released on 29th at various online stores.

Meanwhile, SNSD will begin promoting 소원을 말해봐(Genie) from KBS MusicBank on 26th.

What a killjoy. DX Hope it doesn't affect their chances of winning on the music shows too much.

sadly, it will definitely affect the album sales chart on their MuBank comeback.
no #1 on their first week i assume.

LOL. I don't get how military icons have any to do with their new album.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

xD lol the song is essentially intended to energize the nation, so it's all about nationalism and that somehow always leads to the military

[xiao-baka.livejournal.com]

I guess they decided to use a fully designed and made in Korea plane just so that idiots wouldn't have more stuff to pick on. -_-

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

xD basically

[baeraki.livejournal.com]

They should just delete the plane all together instead of replacing it.
It looks painfully awkward.

[sukitego.livejournal.com]

netizens? what did i miss? DDDD;

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

with 0 points for album sales, it's going to be near-impossible to win mubank, even with the high digital sales, i think. :(

i guess this means "etude" will be part of their comeback stage, if they're releasing it, lol.

[marochi-x.livejournal.com]
