Have a look at SNSD's performance of 'The Boys' in Sydney, Australia. Girls' Generation was greeted by the overwhelming support from fans, in return SNSD did their best in the performance, the performance was powerful! Don't you think so? There was so much power in it.
In some parts of the videos, SNSD could not be heard properly it might be due to the mic they were using. But it was a great performance as always.

Super 7, the girl group unofficially labeled the Taiwanese version of SNSD have bluntly accused the SNSD ladies of being ‘plastic’.
The Taiwanese media conducted an interview with Super 7 that was released through a recent issue of a weekly magazine.
The ladies who were previously criticized for poorly imitating SNSD in their MV remarked, “At first we were so offended so we cried a lot but we now understand why the MV might have upset the fans. We also feel that criticism is another form of interest, and are able to better deal with negative comments.”
They continued, “There are a few SNSD members that can sing and dance well, but the rest of the members have no special appeals. The SNSD girls have all undergone plastic surgery, but we are natural beauties and their bodies can’t even compare to ours.”
They then quickly changed their attitude by saying, “We’re not saying that we will ever be able to be better than SNSD, but we will view them as our role models.”
Flabbergasted Korean fans who heard their comments remarked, “They should probably learn to be more humble“, “They’re not natural beauties, but rather natural, ordinary citizens“, and “Just please quit copying their stuff“.
The concept behind Super 7 is that their average age is only 22, and that they all have ‘C’ cup chest sizes.

A representative of Gaon Chart said, “Due to the influence of the Kpop wave which is becoming the craze all over the world, the album sales of popular Hallyu idol singers have increased compared to last year. This is also probably due to the increase in purchases of albums by international fans through Korean music sites.”

Girls' Generation's Jessica related an anecdote where she came close to being hit by groupmate Hyoyeon.
Along with members Taeyeon and Tiffany, Jessica was a guest on the episode of "Golden Fishery - Radio Star" that aired on November 9th. The three girls showed off their wit and skill at talking through the interview.
In that episode, they were discussing the topic of Taeyeon and Tiffany fighting when Jessica interjected, "They always fight over the smallest of things". This prompted the MC to ask, "Have you ever fought with anyone before?"
Jessica answered, "I've fought with Hyoyeon before. I really almost got hit by her. She was sitting in the front seat and I was at the back, when she started to criticize me. So I criticized her back."
The MC then asked, "When you fight, do you say things that can't be broadcasted?" Jessica said, "Like I mentioned, criticisms," making everyone burst out in laughter.
The MC went on to ask more specifically, "Do you curse?" Jessica emphasized, "Just criticisms," making everyone laugh again.

In an episode of MBC’s ‘Golden Fishery – Radio Star’ aired on November 9th, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, Tiffany and Jessica appeared as guests, along with Park Hae-mi and Im Tae-kyung.
Besides taking the opportunity to introduce their new album ‘The Boys’, the members also talked about their recent lives, as well as the controversy about their so-called ‘attitude problems’ during an interview in New York.
In response to the controversy, Taeyeon said, “They are one-sided negative reports” while Tiffany explained, “We were watching our MV together in the studio but it was longer than expected. Some members had flu and weren’t able to adapt to the time differences so we looked that way.”
Jessica then added, “We will show enjoyable expressions when we watch MVs in the future,” making the studio break out into laughter.
