32 songs! Girls' Generation certainly gives their fans a lot of value for their concert ticket money!
They really are hard workers and from the appearances I see on tv shows they're really sweet too.
I met some of their Chinese fans in Seoul who were hoping to get a glimpse of them in person. Hope they got their chance.
Me too.
