According to the organizer of the Yeosu EXPO on June 13th, Seohyun is expected to visit the Yeosu EXPO on June 20th. While visiting the EXPO, Seohyun will also be conveying messages from United Nations (UN) as well as informing the visitors about the activities and efforts being carried out by the UN. Besides that, there will be a fansign event and photo taking sessions at the UN Pavilion which enables Seohyun to interact more closely with the visitors.

Seohyun was appointed as the goodwill ambassador of the UN Pavilion back in March where she received the official appointment certificate directly from UN Secretary General, Ban KiMoon.

A representative of the organizing committee said, “As June 20th also marks the opening of ‘Rio+20 Summit’ in Brazil, Seohyun’s visit to the EXPO as the goodwill ambassador of UN Pavilion at Yeosu EXPO is very meaningful”. In addition to that, the representative added, “In conjunction with World Refugee Day, UN Refugee Agency will be having an exhibition and therefore, visitors to the UN Pavilion will have the opportunity to meet Seohyun directly as well as getting to know about the various activities of UN agencies”.

Meanwhile, at 7pm KST on the same day (June 20th), Girls’ Generation – TTS will be performing at the 2012 Suncheon Bay Daeden Expo D-300 Celebration at Suncheon Palma Stadium.

On June 9th, 2012, Girls’ Generation performed alongside their fellow SM Entertainment artists at Hsinchu County Stadium near Taipei, Taiwan for “SMTOWN Live World Tour III”. It was the second concert in the “SMTOWN Live World Tour III” series, with the first being at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California in the United States. Similar to the first concert in Anaheim, Girls’ Generation was joined by BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, SHINee, f(x), and EXO. They were also joined by Kangta and Zhang Liyin, who did not appear at the previous SMTOWN concert. 
Girls’ Generation was able to fully perform as nine, as Yuri and Yoona were able to join their fellow members on stage after missing the Anaheim concert because of drama filming responsibilities. The girls performed the same set of songs as they did in California, plus one additional performance. Jessica once again sang “California Gurls” with her younger sister Krystal of f(x), and Girls’ Generation performed “Run Devil Run” with Taeyeon’s “Devil’s Cry” intro, “Genie”, “Kissing You”, “Himnae!”, “Gee”, and “The Boys”. Girls’ Generation – TTS also performed “Twinkle”, and the new performance that Taiwanese fans were treated with was a special collaboration with D.O., Luhan, Sehun, and Chanyeol of EXO for Usher’s “DJ Got Us Falling In Love Again”.
