After finishing my post on The Economist's article on the spread of Hallyu, it seemed just too apt when I read on Yahoo news that SNSD had just debuted in the US!
All 9 girls in SNSD stopped by the MTV studios in Times Square, NYC, which was then broadcasted live. The girls also performed to a sold-out crowd at the Madison Square Garden, an experience that SNSD's Tiffany described as "epic" and Jessica described as "an honor" and "a lot of fun".
SNSD's maxi-single "The Boys" will be released in the US on Nov 19. This track has already been released in Korea, but the English version was first performed live at the concert. Although the group has not yet started working on a full-length US album, they hope to do so soon. Keep your fingers crossed!
And, SNSD even headlined a section in New York Daily News! (For those interested, the article is titled "K-Pop's Secret Weapon" in the "Your New York" section of the paper) This is one of the largest tabloids in NYC with a circulation of over 1/2 million every day- looks like the group's popularity is set to grow even further!
Click here to watch their debut! :)
