Girls’ Generation 1st Single – Into The New World
In August 2007, the single “Into the New World” was released. This
single included two other songs, “Beginning” and “Perfect for You”,
which was later renamed to “Honey” for their self-titled debut album
Girls’ Generation. An instrumental of “Into the New World” was also
included.
After a short break, the group’s first full album was released in
late autumn 2007, with the lead single “Girls’ Generation” (Korean:
“소녀시대”), a cover of Lee Seung-Chul (Korean: 이승철)’s hit.
Promotion for the single started in early November. Marked by dance
routines and vocals, “Girls’ Generation” was a hit for the group, and
the album has sold 121,143 copies to date, placing 8th in the year-end
charts. In early 2008, Girls’ Generation began promoting their second
single, “Kissing You”.

music chart on the release day. The song also went #1 on all major
digital music charts within two days.
The group began its album promotion on January 2009 on MBC Show!
Music Core. They sang their new single, “Gee”, and “Him Nae (Way To

the song “Haptic Motion” that was used in cellphone advertisements and
is a mix of bubblegum pop and punk rock.

M.net (for 8 weeks), surpassing the previous record of 6 weeks set by
the Wonder Girls’ “Nobody”. They also broke the record on KBS’s music
