SNSD Akan Merilis Album di Perancis!


Setelah muncul dalam berbagai acara TV di Amerka, girl group K-Pop satu ini akan merilis album di Perancis! SM Entertainment mengumumkan hal tersebut pada 7 Februari, bahwasanya grup ini akan merilis album “The Boys” melalui label di Perancis, Polydor, sebuah perusahaan afiliasi dari Universal Music Group. Album ini akan berbeda dari album aslinya, sama halnya seperti album yang dirilis di Amerika pada Januari lalu.
Peluncuran album resmi SNSD di Perancis ini merupakan pertama kalinya grup K-Pop dari agensi Korea merilis album dalam jumlah besar di pasaran Eropa.
Tahun lalu melalui konser SM Town Live in Paris, kita dapat melihat betapa terkenalnya Girls’ Generation di Perancis. Dengan diluncurkannya album ini di perancis, SM Entertainment berharap bahwa girl band ini akan menjadi icon K-pop di seluruh dunia.
SNSD baru-baru ini muncul di tiga program TV Amerika untuk mempromosikan “The Boys” yang dirilis pada 17 Januari silam. Selain itu mereka juga mengadakan fan meeting pertama mereka di US di Union Square, cabang dari retailer elektronik Best Buy di New York. Lebih dari 1300 penggemar SNSD datang ke event tersebut sehingga membuat operasi toko tersebut terhenti beberapa saat.

“We Got Married” Membantah Kabar Leeteuk-Kang Sora


Rumor telah beredar luas tentang siapa selebritis yang akan bergabung di episode baru MBC ‘We Got Married. Beberapa saat yang lalu, sebuah situs berita menuliskan bahwa  Leeteuk Super Junior dan aktris Kang Sora adalah salah satu dari tiga pasangan yang telah dikonfirmasi untuk acara tersebut, dan syutingnya akan dimulai pada 30 September.

Produser ‘We Got Married’ telah membantah berita tersebut, mereka mengungkapkannya melalui Joy News 24, “Berita tentang Leeteuk dan Kang Sora bergabung dalam acara ini tidak beralasan.  Kami sebenarnya sangat terkejut melihat penyebutan tanggal proses syuting, produser samasekali tidak tahu tentang hal ini.  Samasekali tidak benar.”
Hyorin SISTAR juga telah dikabarkan telah mengkonfirmasi untuk acara tersebut, dan netizens sedang sibuk menebak siapa yang akan menjadi pasangannya. Produser bersikeras untuk menyimpan segala informasi hingga proses syuting dimulai.  “Kami sedang bekerja untuk memulai proses syuting bersama ketiga pasangan pada akhir minggu ini atau awal minggu depan. Agar acaranya tetap menarik, kami tidak akan mengungkapkan siapa mereka.”
Mereka melanjutkan, “Banyak berita yang memberitakan selebriti-selebriti tersebut yang bahkan belum kami konfirmasi  untuk acara ini.  Bagaimana kecewanya mereka (selebritis) melihat bahwa mereka diberitakan akan bergabung tetapi kenyataannya tidak? Tolong jangan menyebarkan rumor seperti itu.”
