The DVD still manages to fetch sales of about 2,142 copies in the 17th week of it’s release and it was ranked 6th based on Oricon Weekly Chart released on December 6th. Based on the Singles Weekly Chart (December 6th), ‘Genie’ and ‘Gee’ sold 2201 copies (13th week) and 4155 copies (7th week) respectively.

In addition to these, the Japanese edition of ‘Hoot’ which will be released on December 22nd is expected to boost SNSD’s annual sales in Japan and thus, surpassing the 500,000 copies mark. Japanese edition of ‘Hoot’ which comes in Regular Edition, Limited Pressing Edition and First Press Limited Edition is expected to fetch better sales than singles. With that, the goal of exceeding 100,000 copies for every music release will soon be realized.

Interview with the Disk Daesang winner

After ‘The 25th Golden Disk Awards‘ ceremony, our girls were interviewed by IS (일간스포츠). Here are the contents of the interview:

Reporter: What came to your mind when SNSD was announced as the Daesang winner?

SNSD: We were still in a shock. It feels like a dream. It was very much beyond our expectation as we only wish to enjoy the moments with our fans. Winning such a grand award…we felt thrilled and scared at the same time. We will never forget the moment when ‘Golden Disk Daesang SNSD’ were announced.

Reporter: The award, expected?

SNSD: Not at all. In fact, due to our anxiety, we seemed to make a lot of mistakes while performing on stage today. Usually before we get on stage, we will put our hands together and shout ‘Right Now, SNSD‘ followed by ‘Hwaiting‘ but today, everything just seems to be very hectic and we didn’t get to do it. So, while we were sitting around the table, instead of using our hands, we put our feet together and did the slogan.

Reporter: You girls must be missing Tiffany very much. At every winning speech, you mentioned Tiffany’s name.

SNSD: On the stage, SNSD will only be complete when there are all 9 of us. Because of her knee injury, the void left by Tiffany is huge. We thought about Tiffany a lot every time we receive the awards. It’s such a pity she couldn’t be here with us today.

Reporter: After receiving the ‘Newcomers’ Award’ in 2007, there seems to be some kind of a bond between SNSD and Golden Disk Awards.

SNSD: We are really grateful for the acknowledgements. The fact that the awards were decided based on the actual album and music sales made winning these awards more meaningful. All these will not be possible without our caring fans whom we are so thankful for.

Reporter: How about things that you will always remember during your trainee days?

SNSD: To be artists, we spent 4-6 years as trainees. As we looked back, we realized that our parents were very worried about us then. After becoming a singer, the most glorious moment is when we were able to stand on the stage, the feeling is really great. We would like to thank our teacher, Mr. Lee Soo Man who made our dreams come true.

Reporter: Any words for your ahjussi (uncle) fans?

SNSD: We know they cheer for us like their own little sisters or nieces. As to not disappoint them, we will always try to give our best.

Reporter: Today, are you girls going to throw a party to celebrate the win?

SNSD: Really! Today, we never thought that we would receive the daesang. Not only us, but our family – BoA sunbae-nim, Super Junior sunbae-nims and SHINee, received many awards today so there will be a big feast. The party will be prepared by our agency, we have no idea about it. We will have to talk about it.

Reporter: What is your goal for the future?

SNSD: At this moment of glory, we have none but if there must be something that we should wish for, we truly hope that the 9 members of SNSD will always be together to the end.

SNSD sang their hit songs with fans on the street

Recently, SNSD were guests for the show "YaHaengSung" (Night Star Variety Show).

For a section of the show, each member took turns to "test" whether the fans knew how to sing to their hit songs.

The street was filled with fans and it was the first time there was such a big crowd.

In the end, all SNSD's hit songs made it as fans managed to sing along to all. SNSD then thanked all the fans through a window in the van. Host, Shin Dongyup then made SHINee's Onew show his face for the female fans and once Onew appeared, female fans started screaming and no screams from male fans was heard.

This was funny because when it was SNSD's turn, many male fans kept screaming but when SHINee's Onew appeared, many female fan's screams was heard instead.

Check out this hilarious scene here!

‘Come To Play’ on 3rd January 2011!

SNSD attended the recording of MBC’s ‘Yoo Jaesuk and Kim Won Hee’s Come To Play’ (commonly known as ‘Come To Play’) at MBC Dream Center in Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do on December 8th. All of the girls attended the recording except Tiffany who is still recuperating from her knee injury. Besides SNSD members, MBLAQ’s Mir and Lee Joon, Beast’s Yoseob and Ki Kwang and Super Junior’s members were also involved in the recording.

During today’s recording, the members of the idol groups talked about love and gratitude towards their parents and also their regrets.

A staff of the program, “These idol singers started off at a young age as trainees. Without the love and support from their parents, it will be hard for them to go through their daily activities and training. There were various stories about themselves and their respective parents. On today’s recording, these topics were being openly revealed and discussed”.

The staff added, “There will also be a battle of ‘Who is the most princess-like and most filial child’”.

This special episode of ‘Come To Play’ will be aired on January 3rd, 2011.

9 girls with golden hearts transformed into angels to help a single mother

SNSD transformed into angels and helped out in a donation drive for a single mother who is suffering from cancer.

On MBC’s ’7 Days’ Miracle’ which will be aired on December 9th at 6.50pm KST, a donation drive was being carried out for Mdm. Kim Jung Ok, a single mom diagnosed with Stage 3 Cervical Cancer.

All 9 members of SNSD showed their support by donating some of their own items. In particular, their rare signed debut album. MC Kim Jedong, who is a samchon (uncle) fan of SNSD went down on his knees and said, “This is paradise!”.

At the trading centre, queues were formed next to SNSD and Kim Jedong. As items for trade such as notebooks, netbooks, monitors, game consoles, etc were put up for trading, a brave male fan then spoke up, “Taeyeon-ah, Would you like to go to Hongdae with Oppa? Let’s go”. Meanwhile, SNSD’s T-Shirts were the hot trading items.

Mdm. Kim Jung Ok also had a car accident and she is also suffering from 2nd Degree Intellectual Disability. Her husband passed away due to diabetes and she single handedly raised her two kids, aged 13 and 14 (a boy and a girl) by working in a factory. In December 2009, she was diagnosed with Stage 3 Cervical Cancer.
