Korean K-pop group Girls' Generation will appear on two popular U.S. TV talk shows, the group's entertainment agency SM Entertainment said on Wednesday.
The group will appear on the David Letterman show on CBS television on Tuesday next week, the agency said.
The next day, the stars will present "The Boys", the title song on their third music album released to the world market in December, during their appearance on "Live! With Kelly", a popular talk show on ABC TV, it said.
"Girls' Generation, as far as we know, is the first group of Korean singers ever to appear on a main talk show of a U.S terrestrial channel", a company official sai.
I overheard a conversation about K-pop earlier today, so I decided to revisit some of my favorite Girls' Generation tracks. (OK. Obviously this happened on the internet. So when I say "overheard a conversation" I actually mean "read an email chain.") So to me, it had to be either "Oh!" or "Gee." And you know what? "Gee" it is. On the strength of the video alone.
So then a friend of mine started yapping at me about J-pop. (Obviously online too. So by "yapping at me" I mean "posting on my Facebook wall.") Specifically, Perfume. And I mean. Yo. This song is incredible. I've played it at least twelve times in the past hour. Literally not exaggerating, not even one bit. So good.
After a long flight from Korea, Girls’ Generation finally arrived at New York’s JFK International Airport on January 30th at around 10:00AM Eastern Standard Time.
The group was greeted by a large group of fans that eagerly waited for their arrival.
The girl group will guest on two major American talk shows, CBS‘s ‘The Late Show with David Letterman‘ and ABC‘s ‘Live! With Kelly‘. As allkpop reported earlier, the girls will appear on ‘Letterman’ on the 31st, before moving onto ‘Live! With Kelly’ for February 1st.
Check out some of the photos from their arrival courtesy of Angie Mills below:
A few weeks ago we reported that Girls’ Generation member Jessica was tagged on a famous alley in Melbourne, Australia. Many fans personally visited the beautiful portrait of Jessica but unfortunately it has been ruined.
A fan recently visited the graffiti mural, only to find that the top half of the portrait was sprayed and tagged over.
Last week, we reported that Girls’ Generation members YoonA, Seohyun, and Tiffany would be in attendance for the ‘2012 F/W Burberry Prorsum Women’s Collection Fashion Show‘ fashion show in London. The ladies arrived earlier in the day and they looked stunning.
The girls were personally invited by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey as representatives of Korea and the girls were prominently featured in the very front row with other celebrities and luminaries like will.i.am, Jolin Tsai, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
The entire show was streamed live online and fans were quick to capture the stream and share it on the internet. Check out the cuts of YoonA, Seohyun, and Tiffany from the live stream below.

Girls' Generation Appear On A Popular French Talk Show
K-pop group Girls' Generation will appear on a popular French talk show ahead of its first release of a music album in Europe early next week, the group's entertainment agency said Wednesday.
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.
