Santa SM to release ‘gift’ before Christmas

Yes, Christmas is near and SM Entertainment has a surprise ‘gift’ for you but it’s different from other gifts, mainly because it is not free. However, if you look at it as something to make your Christmas more meaningful then yes, it is a gift.

So, what is this gift we are talking about here? Ok, i’m not going to beat around the bush any longer. It’s the ‘소녀시대 The 1st Asia Tour “Into The New World” Live Album‘. It contains a total of 38 tracks in 2 CDs. Some fans are disappointed it’s not the DVD but hey, anything that has to do with our girls is worth every cent, right? Well, add this into your Christmas shopping list and hopefully our credit card won’t be hitting its credit limit so soon.

This concert brought about startling records. Artists like BoA, Kangta, Yunho, Changmin, Super Junior, Girl's Generation (SNSD), SHINee, f(x), etc attracted about 15000 concert goers and a result of USD 1,100,000 in terms of ticketing sales.

Fancam of SNSD’s Genie 3D MV revealed at SMTown Live!

With fans still excited over the MV teaser for the Japanese version of Genie, fans of SNSD were in for another surprise at the Jamsil Baseball Stadium this afternoon.

Fans who were attending the currently ongoing SMTown Live 10 were delighted to find a Samsung 3D televison booth, which apparently showed a new 3D version of SNSD’s Genie MV. The footage (not in full) was recorded by a SNSDCHINA fan and it spread like wildfire on the internet, with many liking it compared to the original version. You don’t need 3D glasses for this.

SMTOWN Live 10 to happen this August

Although there’s no official word about this yet, it looks like SMTOWN Live 10 will be taking place this August.

SMTOWN Livw 09 had been sensationally postponed at the very last moment due to a lawsuit filed by 3 TVXQ members, although most felt that the reason given by SM Entertainment was unconvincing.

Almost a year later, it looks like it will finally happen this year after a SNSD fan spotted an advertisement plastered on a bus, promoting the concert extravaganza. This year, it will be held on 21st August at Seoul’s Jamshil stadium, starting from 5pm and ending at 10 at night. Click the picture below for a larger view.

The list of performers include KangTa, BoA, U-Know, Max, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee, f(x), Trax and all SMTown artists and one thing to note was the word “World Tour” affixed at the top of the logo, although it could really mean anything. So stay tuned for more details which should be forthcoming soon.
