Girls’ Generation, TVXQ, Super Junior, B2ST, and more to perform at Google headquarters

[taecmyheart.livejournal.com]

On May 21st at 6PM PST, Google will be hosting a concert at their Mountain View, California headquarters featuring performances by K-Pop’s reigning stars including SM Entertainment‘s Girls’ Generation, TVXQ, Super Junior as well as KARA, SISTAR, MBLAQ, B2ST, and the Wonder Girls. This event will broadcast through MBC and Google.

This will be the first time that a K-Pop concert will broadcast live on not only a Korean channel, but through a major internet portal like Google, evidencing the rise of K-Pop’s popularity all over the world.

A representative of the event stated, “After hearing the news that Korean artists will be performing at the Google headquarters, curiosity has peaked even among the local event organizers. I think that previous performances by Korean artists were targeted towards Korean-Americans or the Koreans living abroad, but this time its appeal will spread to all fans of pop music in the US.”

In related news, SM artists will also be performing for their ‘SMTown Live‘ concert at the Honda Center in California on May 20th.

AKP + NATE

ME RN. 
okay who's going? WHO HAS MORE INFO ON THIS?
they say it's in front of the googleplex but i google-mapped that shit and it doesn't look at all big enough for a concert, so i'm thinking it might be more private than a concert? IDK I'M CONFUSED. ;A; I HAVE TO SEE WG. AND MBLEAST.

I'm already working out a schedule so me and my bffs and family can all go to San Jose together. Idgaf that it's a work day and finals week. LOL I'm just hoping it's going to be a public concert.

[pandaeyes501.livejournal.com]

I'm confused... is there going to be fans allowed? Or just Google employees?

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

They're in luck. The South Bay has one of the biggest concentrations of azn people this side of the Pacific.

And of course I'm not at home when this is going on, fml. Potential stalkers might want to chillax around Lawrence/El Camino stretch of Korean shops/restaurants...I have a feeling they might hit up those places after, if they have time.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Oh and it probably will be a private concert and/or Google employees might get to bring some guests...or they might try to outsource it to Shoreline?? But then they'd have to ticket event it. Also omg loling at the possibility of it being in downtown Mountain View/civic square omg that place is tiny (yet nice) enough as it is.

May 21st is so soon! Like that gives NO ONE time to buy tickets/plane tickets/hotel reservations....this has to be some kind of private event. But if it is being streamed at least I can see it still.

Mblaq should just have stayed in the states on an extended vacation

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

this sounds like it's just for google employees imo

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

[fukai.livejournal.com]

[taecmyheart.livejournal.com]

THERE WILL BE NO OTHER TIME THAT A KPOP CONCERT IS ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY.

wait wut? is this a private event... uggh the only google employee i know is an ass and i dont want to have to ask him for more info

[smile-as-a-noun.livejournal.com]

to be honest, kinda hope this is some kind of private event because otherwise I'm going to be super angry that my flight is already booked to leave CA on that morning =/
I think I'm just doomed to never see Beast live no matter how many times they come to the US

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

i get you. i'm going to korea on the 20th so it's like i'm doomed to never see yunho and changmin

it's probably private though :/

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

[guraeman.livejournal.com]

WE MUST GO!!!!!

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

So much for that dream of chilling at Disneyland on Monday and running Into Siwon and Jessica.

I can still hope that they'll stay at the Grand...

[simplyobessed.livejournal.com]

;_; sad...damn you California! I will move there one day!

TVXQ and Beast, in a private concert, displaying such flawlessness, such magnificence...all for a bunch of clueless American dudes.

These Google employees better recognize.

umm, please no...google?

I'm glad MBLAQ gets invited to all these overseas concerts. First the grand masters, then the KMF and now this :3

[stesabsea.livejournal.com]

This is the kind of line up I would like to see for a KMF! I wonder why Google decided to ask KPOP groups to come though. Assuming it's a private event for employees, like what Genentech has done in the past, I wouldn't have thought that KPOP was something that a large majority of their employees like/are aware of.

[rinn1e.livejournal.com]

Their receptionists or whoever did the booking is a Kpop stan. That, or Kpop is actually much cheaper to rent than Top stars in the US? And, really, outside of the interwebs, and meeting great innovators, no one really care about performing for Google other than Great Hallyu... I guess?

[mediumpurple.livejournal.com]

is it just for google employees or public concert?

[kei-enigma.livejournal.com]

omg why on a Monday night though
sobbing forever if it's a public event

[kat-diva.livejournal.com]

Google tops even Microsoft in their treatment of employees and the extra perks and benes they provide! It's an amazing company to work for, I just wish I worked for them! This is almost surely a private event, for employees only. Just WOW! At least I'll see the SM family the night before in LA!
