We are used to seeing Soshi on commercials, newspapers, magazines, beverages, etc but textbooks? This has got to be a first!

And yes, amazingly, SNSD made their way into a Japanese textbook!

Recently, on Daum Telzone and other entertainment forums, pictures of SNSD on a Japanese textbook were revealed. In the textbook, SNSD was introduced in Japanese, as well as English, in a chapter entitled ‘Kpop Stars Take On The World’.

Picture
The text within this particular chapter stated, “Fans are attracted to their perfect performances” and “Some of the songs are popular not only in Korea but also in Japan as well” as part of its contents. On top of the text is the picture of Korea’s leading artistes, SNSD.

Netizens who saw the captures gave a hot reaction as they commented, “Indeed SNSD”, “In Japan too the So Nyeos seem to be the most popular”, “Total domination”, etc.

T-ara’s Hyomin, JiYeon and EunJung were featured on TV YTN ‘News and Issue – Issue and People’ aired on July 29th.

EunJung said, “Since we’ll be debuting in Japan, I think we need to have rookie’s attitude. From the beginning, we have to go forward step by step.”

The anchor then asked, “Do you feel pressured by SNSD who debuted first?”

To this, Hyomin replied, “We actually feel more thankful than pressured. I think they relieved some pressure off us.”

She added, “Because of that, we are also getting more interest and expectation from people so I think we will be able to do well.”

EunJung added, “Rather, we are thankful to the public for their interest in Kpop.”

Meanwhile, during the broadcast of the program, they also said, “Today, July 29th is the 2nd anniversary of our debut and we hope to be no.1 on a music show as our present.”

Also, they have not done such a broadcast at a venue like this in over 4 years, and once the final performance has finished, a specially planned live show will be aired.

A surprise event prepared by Japanese fans for Girls' Generation's Seohyun's birthday has been garnering attention.

The 28th of June was Girls' Generation's Seohyun's birthday. Because she was in Japan for their arena tour, Japanese fans prepared a special gift.

They prepared a flamboyant event of dressing up as Girls' Generation from head to toe.

What caused the fans to garner even more attention was the fact that the fans were not female fans, but male, wearing Girls' Generation's military outfit.

With Girls' Generation's recent popularity in Japan, Japanese fan culture has slowly become similar to that of Korea.

Japanese fans were usually active towards individual stars they like rather than groups, but that has started to change.
Picture
On this day, fans showed unprecedented Japanese fan cultures by gathering to celebrate Seohyun's birthday, proving the change.

Japanese fans' special birthday event for Seohyun will be revealed through Mnet's hallyu report.

On the 14th, Mnet looked into just how popular Girls' Generation is in Japan, as well as why they go crazy for them, through the first half of the full report, subtitled "Do You Know Whom Girls' Generation is?".

The second part of the report will air on the 21st at 7:30PM (KST), subtitled "Right Now, It's Girls' Generation!". Aside from the group's popularity, they will cover Girls' Generation's power of changing the lifestyle of female fans in their twenties.
