Rumors of Girls’ Generation’s impending comeback have been swirling, as sources are saying that Girls’ Generation is planning to make their comeback in Korea some time in January, 2013 with their fourth full-length Korean album.
The source stated to Star News, “Girls’ Generation has been working on their Korean album in the midst of their Japanese activities. There is a high possibility that Girls’ Generation’s official fourth album will be releasing in early January.” They continued, “As the title song has been decided on already, work on the official album is close to being finished. We are currently deciding on the final release date.” Regarding Girls’ Generation’s rumored English album, the source stated, “It’s a bit early to be answering anything about releasing an album overseas.”
Further adding to the speculation, a representative from SM Entertainment said, “It is true that we are in the last stages in preparation for the fourth album. But there isn’t anything decided on regarding whether it will be in January or what month. We will keep preparing and mediate the time”, and that Girls’ Generation would be juggling their promotions for both Korea and Japan.
Additionally, MBC is purported to be preparing a special show just for Girls’ Generation’s comeback.
One source revealed to OSEN on the afternoon of December 11th, “MBC is preparing a comeback program for Girls’ Generation. There aren’t any specific details of the show, and the air date has not been decided on yet, but I know it as airing in January.”
MBC has been preparing for this comeback special broadcast since last month, have managed a separate staff, and are devoting themselves to the production.
This special broadcast is going to be a separate, independently organized program apart from the music program, “Show! Music Core”. While there are many typical cases of popular artists getting approximately ten-minute comeback stages on music shows, it’s rare that they get an independent, separate comeback broadcast like Girls’ Generation.
It seems this reflects on the the general public’s high interest in Girls’ Generation’s comeback.
Excitement for Girls’ Generation’s comeback has been growing since rumors began earlier this year of a comeback in November. It’s been 14 months since Girls’ Generation released their third Korean album, “The Boys”. However, Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun did release the mini-album, “Twinkle”, earlier this year as the sub-unit Girls’ Generation – TTS.

is there anyway to watch the comeback in the US?
OMG I can’t wait until their 4th full length album comes out…! 1 months seems so far away…!
AFAIK they can schedule a Korean comeback last days of January or early February. Sooner is imposible due contract apointments.
IMHO a Winter-2013 comeback seems a bad idea due 2nd Japan Arena Tour will require full members focus from February 9th to April 10th: 18 shows, 2 or 3 big venue performances a week is exhausting. I dont see any way to share those duties in Japan with comeback promotions in Korea.
I think it’s gonna be epic, like Gee :) The break before the Gee comeback was 9 months and this is 15 months? So, I got a feeling it’ll be epic! All the best, SNSD<3 enjoy urselves!
OMG OMG OMG cant wait!!!!!
this will be so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2013 can’t come soon enough!!! :D I can’t to hear the girls next Korean album and I wonder what the new single will sound like! I’m beyond excited for new the music and I wish the girls lots of success with their comeback! <3
I CAN”T WAIT!!!! I hope it’s the most epic of them all (especially it being a Korean comeback) ;)
Oooh i cant wait >.<, already the wait is killing me :3 but I sincerely hope SNSD can get some days off to get some rest, it seems they are so busy going back and forth with their promotions.
Btw, since TTS is formed, anyone know if they will continue to release more albums from TTS? Really liked the TWINKLE album, hoping to see if they will release more albums?
Is there any possibility to see the MBC from internet?
It’s about time. Been waiting for this.
Making a comeback like a boss ^^
A Comeback SHOW?! OH YES!! I’m soooo excited!! This is gonna be great! If the album isn’t released in January, that’s okay! The show will be in January so it’ll make up for it! I hope the girls aren’t being worked too hard with juggling Korea and Japan promotions. They gotta stay all rested up for each thing. Hwaiting Soshi!! <3
Happiness is a comeback album and joy is a comeback TV special but rest is what I truly want for them. I am willing to wait an extra month or two if I have to for any new album or tour of theirs. Promotional stuff really knocks our girls out. I want them to be happy and healthy. I am patient. Sleep lots you wonderful human beings!
Ohmy~ This is an exciting news. Yay! Does this “Show” means a one time program or is it like the previous shows done by the girls e.g. FG? I wanna know. Hopefully, it won’t be a one time show. I wanna see them on small screen more often. That’s really awesome if you’ll see them together again in a show. Sighs. I wish.
Waah~ I am so excited! But the down part of this whole thing is their health like lack of rest, lack of sleep, fly here and there, “juggling”, etc.. That’s how in demand they are. Hopefully the girls will get a short holidays to celebrate Christmas and new year with their families.
Merry Christmas SNSD! Merry Christmas SSF! Merry Christmas SONEs! :) (Advance greetings.)
waaaaa very exited in thier korean comback!!
Woke up in the evening in saw this awesome news! Totally brighten up my day! And I’m still spazzing!
I soooo hope this is true! I can’t wait to see what they’ll show us this time!! :D
the buzz for this album has been crazy!
and it excites me, and hopefully everyone
else, that the girls are the buzz of the town
this far along in their career! these girls
really seem to have the staying power to
break down the barriers typically presented
to kpop girl groups! and if the korean album
has any resemblance of the vigor presented
in their japanese album, which i know it will
and then some, it is going to make korea fall
in love with our girls all over again…and again…
and again…:-)
I´m literally shaking with excitement for all these news! Thank you so much Soshified staff for taking time and translating this for us international sone! Hope their korean 4th album comes close to the high quiality of their “Girls & Peace” LP.
Seems that MBC likes SNSD a lot..
1) when tiffany and yuri had to leave MBC Music Core as MCs and had their goodbye stage, Music Core PD kept using Temp MCs, and when Tiffany and Yuri returned to Korea from Japan promotions, they gave them back the MC positions.
2) last year, MBC had a Christmas Special with SNSD also.
3) now a Comeback show, for SNSD..
Just as how YG artists is getting a lot of love from SBS, i think it seems SNSD is getting a lot of love from MBC..
This news should be true, or else.. hmp..
i hope come true..
Everyone wants a Korean comeback
damn i hope this rumor is true. i miss seeing our angel on music show and tv show so much.
Wowowee! 2013’s gonna be the happiest new year for me…1st because i’ll see them perform live at the Dream Kpop Fantasy Concert in the Philippines and second i’ll have another korean album added to my GG collection:)))
