Girls’ Generation on America’s Main Talk Show ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ as the First Korean Artist!
Made the First Network Television Debut in America!
Girls’ Generation performed ‘The Boys’ on America’s main talk show ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ as the first Korean artist.
As musical guest, Girls’ Generation performed the special album title song ‘The Boys’ at the end of ‘The Late Show With David Letterman,’ which was aired on the 31st from 11:35 p.m. (New York Time), and received an explosive response.
The host, David Letterman, introduced Girls’ Generation saying, “Our next guests are a very popular group from South Korea who has just released their first album in America. It's entitled 'The Boys.' Please welcome, making their network television debut, Girls' Generation." and Girls’ Generation presented the band version of ‘The Boys’ on the show.
Especially, since it was the thirtieth anniversary of the show on that day, the attention of the viewers as well as the broadcasting interested was more focused. When Girls' Generation finished their live performance, David Letterman said 'Thank you’ in Korean.
Girls’ Generation said, “We’ve been very excited from the time, when the decision of our appearance on the show was made, until we completed the performance. It was a very great and happy time to perform on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman.’"
Also, local fans had gathered at ‘The Ed Sullivan Theater,’ where ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ was filmed, since morning and Girls’ Generation greeted fans and signed autographs when the girls arrived at the theater.
‘The Late Show With David Letterman,’ which is aired every weekdays at 11:35 p.m., is CBS late night talk show made up of interview and performance sessions. On this episode, actor/director Bill Murray also appeared as talk guest.
Meanwhile, Girls’ Generation will also appear on a famous talk show ABC 'LIVE! with Kelly' on February 1st at 9:00 a.m. (New York Time) and have an interview with one of the top four press agencies in the world ‘AP’ and a famous entertainment news program 'Extra TV.’

Girls’ Generation is performing on CBS’s “The Late Show With David Letterman” tonight, the latest inroad by K-pop into the U.S. market.
Girls' Generation has its sights set on the U.S. as its fame grows beyond Asia and K-pop fans.
The nine-piece pop act, which already plays to packed concert venues around Asia, will sing an English-language version of their male-baiting single “The Boys,” which was co-written by Teddy Riley, famed for his work with Michael Jackson, Bobby Brown and Usher.
While Girls’ Generation has played in the U.S. before, the TV appearance marks a new level of mainstream American exposure for the group, and Korean pop in general, as its world-wide audience grows.
SM, which manages Girls’ Generation, organized a Madison Square Garden concert in October that sold out. In November, Big Bang, a boy band, took the “World Wide Act” award at MTV’s Europe Music Awards, while MTV Iggy, which focuses on music from outside the U.S., named Korean group 2NE1 its “Best New Band in the World.” JYP, the agency that works with the Wonder Girls, is set to break a Teen Nick made-for-TV movie, starring the girl band, in February.
While a Letterman appearance will surely boost Girls’ Generation’s recognition stateside, the telegenic group has a strong global following — one video, “Gee,” has more than 64 million views on YouTube. “These girls are sexy enough to open the floodgates for the Korean wave with this performance,” says Billboard’s East Asia correspondent Rob Schwartz.
Several members hail from the U.S. — Jessica, Tiffany and Sunny (they only go by their first names) were all born in California, giving them another advantage as they make the media rounds.
“We definitely want to sing in English,” said Tiffany, during a summer concert headlined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers in Japan. “We need to be nine Beyonces.”

소녀시대, 美 지상파 메인 토크쇼 출연 등 프로모션차 금일 출국!
AP, Extra TV등 유력 현지 매체 인터뷰 예정!
프로모션 없이 빌보드 월드 앨범 차트 2위, 히트 시커트 차트 22위 진입 눈길!
소녀시대가 미국 지상파 TV 메인 토크쇼 출연 및 현지 매체 인터뷰등 프로모션 위해 30일(금일) 오전 미국 뉴욕으로 출국했다.
소녀시대는 한국 가수 최초로 미국 CBS의 간판 토크쇼 '데이비드 레터맨쇼(The Late Show With David Letterman)’와 ABC의 인기 토크쇼 'LIVE! with Kelly'에 1월 31일과 2월 1일 각각 출연해, ‘The Boys’ 의 화려한 무대를 선사할 예정.
특히 ‘데이비드 레터맨쇼’의 음악 담당 프로듀서 Sheryl Zelikson 는 “소녀시대가 매우 흥미롭고 차별성이 있는 그룹으로 생각되어 섭외를 결정하게 되었다. 소녀시대의 미국 네트워크 첫 데뷔를 ‘데이비드 레터맨쇼’에서 하기로 결정해 준 것에 대해 무척 기쁘게 생각한다."고 밝혀 소녀시대에 대한 현지의 높은 관심을 실감케 했다.
또한 소녀시대는 미국 지상파 TV 프로그램 출연 외에도 세계 4대 통신사이자 미국 대표 통신사인 AP, 인기 연예 정보 프로그램인 Extra TV등 유력 현지 매체들과의 인터뷰등도 예정되어 있어, 바쁜 프로모션 일정을 소화할 것으로 보인다.
더불어 소녀시대는 프로모션이 전혀 없었음에도 불구하고, 지난 17일 현지 출시한 미국 스페셜 앨범 ‘The Boys’로 2월 4일자 빌보드 ‘월드 앨범’ 차트 2위, '히트시커스 앨범(Heatseekers Albums/빌보드에 첫 진입하는 신인 아티스트의 앨범을 대상으로 순위를 선정)’차트에서도 22위로 첫 진입하는 등 선전해, 이번 미국 지상파 TV 출연 및 프로모션은 소녀시대가 향후 미국에서 거둘 성과에 대한 기대를 더욱 높이는 계기가 될 것으로 보인다.
한편, 소녀시대가 출연하는 CBS ‘데이비드 레터맨쇼’는 31일 밤 11시 35분, ABC 'LIVE! with Kelly'는 1일 오전 9시 (미국 뉴욕 현지 시간)에 방송되며, 소녀시대는 미국 프로모션을 마친 후 이번 주 내로 귀국할 예정이다.
