Girls’ Generation launched its first-ever world tour with two-day concert at home over the weekend.
On June 8th and 9th, Girls’ Generation has successfully kickstarted the first leg of their ‘2013 Girls’ Generation’s World Tour – Girls & Peace’ at Olympic Gymnastics Arena, Seoul in front of thousands of cheering fans.
In the three-hour concert, the girls heated up the stadium with a total of 27 songs including their hits such as “Gee”, “Genie”, “The Boys”, “I Got A Boy” and more as well as their hit Japanese singles including “Mr. Taxi”, “Flower Power” and “Paparazzi”.
This is the first time the group has embarked on a world tour since its debut in 2007. The girls held Asian tours in 2009 and 2011. The group leader Taeyeon said during a conference, “We’ve always talked about the possibility of doing a world tour, so we are honored to finally get this started.”
Girls’ Generation will be continuing on its world tour ‘2013 Girls & Peace World Tour’ as a succession of its Japan tour that drew 200,000 fans to 20 concerts in seven Japanese cities between February and April.
