The group will be on the "Le Grand Journal", a talk show program of the French pay-TV channel "CANAL plus" on Thursday (on Paris time), S.M. Entertainment Co. said.
"Le Grand Journal", which airs at 7 p.m. from Monday to Friday, is one of France's most popular talk shows, where many of the world's top stars have appeared as guests.
Girls' Generation will be the first Korean pop stars to appear on the show, according to the agency.
The appearance comes ahead of the group's official release slated for Monday of its special album titled "The Boys" through Polydor, the French music label under Universal Music Group. It is rare for South Korean singers to release an album in Europe.
In the show, the group will give a live performance of the album's title song with the same name, according to the agency.
Girls’ Generation continues their worldwide domination by signing with French record label, Polydor France.
Polydor France tweeted earlier today on their official Twitter account that Girls’ Generation has joined their label along with Interscope records. Both labels are subsidiaries of Universal Music Group.
Much like how Interscope is releasing “The Boys” in the US, Polydor France will be releasing Girls’ Generation’s album to the French market. The girls made a huge impact with their performance at SMTOWN LIVE in Paris this past June.
Meanwhile, “The Boys” has been completely dominating the charts in Korea, getting #1 on every real-time chart and taking many spots in the top ten with other songs from the album. The single has also been a success around the world on iTunes, taking the #1 spot in Japan and breaking into the top 100 songs at #67 in the US and #30 on the US iTunes Pop chart. On Youtube, the music videos for “The Boys” have combined for an incredibly fast 5.5 million views at the time of this article, and have been one the most favorited and most liked videos on the website.
Girls’ Generation joins their fellow label-mates in New York City this Sunday October 23rd at Madison Square Garden for SMTOWN LIVE in NEW YORK. Following the concert, Soshified will be holding the first ever fan meeting in the United States with Girls’ Generation on Monday the 24th.
It will be the group's third appearance on a popular foreign talk show in about two weeks following appearances on CBS's late-night talk show "Late Show with David Letterman" on Jan. 31 and ABC's morning talk show "Live! With Kelly" on Feb. 1.
The group will also have an interview with France's terrestrial TV channel "France 2" for broadcasting on the channel's main evening news program on Thursday, according to the agency.
During the interview, the K-pop sensation will introduce the new album and express thanks for its devoted European fans, the agency said.The group arrived in Paris on Tuesday for local promotion of the new album.
