Girls' Generation stand before Japanese fans for the first time as 8 members + to release single next year

Girls' Generation stepped before their Japanese fans for the first time since becoming an 8-member group during their 'Girls' Generation The Best Live at Tokyo Dome' on December 9.  This was not only their first exclusive concert at the biggest indoor concert venue in Japan but also their first on-site event since the departure of Jessica.

The girls practiced the last two months for this concert, reportedly more so than usual so that their fans would not feel the gap left by Jessica or the awkwardness of seeing the modified group.  Their first Tokyo Dome concert will be broadcast through Wowow Primeon December 28.

In addition, the girls revealed that they will be releasing their first single as an 8-member group in Japan early next year!

Sunny talks about 'buying a dream' and the burden of being a part of Girls' Generation

On the December 9 edition of SBS's 'Roommate,' Sunny opened up about wanting to lessen her schedule, Girls' Generation, and her childhood dream.

She said, "Ah, there's something I suddenly thought of.  When I was in elementary school, I bought a dream."  In Korea, there is the superstition that if someone has a good dream, he or she can sell it to somebody else.  In this case, it appears Sunny purchased someone else's good dream.

She said with surprise, "I had no thoughts on becoming a celebrity, but my friend said that in her dream, she was being chased by the broadcasting company, so she ran away when she saw me dancing on TV with other people.  To buy the dream, I bought her snacks at the stationary store.  I just thought of that."

She then thought of the burden that comes with being a part of Girls' Generation.  "I want to lessen my workload and play a bit," she said. "If I put [only] my name on the line, it'd be okay if I made some mistakes, but if I do something wrong, then it becomes 'Girls' Generation did something wrong,' which I really hate."

Lee Guk Ju wisely replied, "Big popularity is happiness, but there is nowhere to let loose, so it is the hardest right now."
