Was a little bored today, so I went to SOGO pacific for some window shopping. But turns out that I did some "real" shopping after all. I was unable to resist buying Girls' Generation's debut single - Into the New World, although I have already downloaded the songs quite awhile ago. This is the first korean CD and the first single that I have bought. I hope I won't regret it when their full album comes out.

After that, I went to the 玫瑰大眾唱片行 near the place I stay to have a look at the upcoming chinese albums. To my surprise, the pre-order for Genie 卓文萱's upcoming album had already started yesterday, So being the compulsive shopper that I am, I got this:

The preorder ticket for said album

The preorder comes with a giant sized poster, but I'm unable to find a way to hang it up yet. I will try to take a picture of it tomorrow if I can find some blu-tac to hang it up.

This new Korean girl group is great!! They are called So Nyuh Shi Dae, SNSD for short, which means girls' generation. They currently have 1 single called Into The New World and a remix of that song.

Quote from Wikipedia:
The members were professionally trained primarily in singing and dancing, while a select few were also trained in acting and modeling. Many of the members already made names for themselves through their participation in magazine ads, television commercials, and small television appearances. For nearly two years, Korean websites speculated about which of the female SM Entertainment trainees would be placed into the group.

Their style is a kind of upbeat mainstream pop. So for those who think themselves "above" mainstream music, now is a good time to stop reading. It just so happens that I like commercial mainstream pop music.

I like their leader TaeYeon because she has nice vocals, plus shes also cute ^^ Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting


Their main dancer, Hyoyeon, is really good. This is a clip of her dancing with Jaewon of BlackBeat


And here's a Youtube link of the MV for their song "Into The New World"

If you are interested, you can find out more about them on AMBITION .
The full album should be available at z-degrees.net or bww2 forums
