A press meeting was held on November 2nd at the Apgujung Everysing store. Among many topics, the subject of Soshi’s energy and fatigue came into play. Many Sones were very worried that Soshi were tiring themselves out with the recent release of Hoot as well as trouncing about in Japan while still working in Korea as well.

UPDATE: SNSD just beat their record by reaching #1 on the Oricon with “Gee”! They also hold #10 with “Genie”

SNSD became the first ever Non-Japanese Asian girl group to break into the Oricon top 3! The Japanese version of “Gee” sold 66,000 copies in its first week of release, entering the prestigious weekly singles chart at #2.

It’s the first time in 30 years a female girl group has ever accomplished this feat. In 1980, British girl group “Nolans” released a song called “Dancing Sisters” and entered Oricon at #2.

Last month, SNSD’s Japanese debut single, “Genie” sold 45,000 copies in the first week, rounding up total sales of 97,000. With this, the girls were able to call themselves the first foreign female artist to rank that high (#4) for a debut single.

Just as “Gee” rocketed Soshi into stardom (get it- like rocket into space.. into the stars..)
