All About Girls’ Generation is a 6-disc DVD set released by SM Entertainment recently. It comes with a 44-page photobook if I’m not mistaken and the running time for all 6 discs is 715minutes, as claimed by their teaser. 715minutes would roughly be 12hours.
I never knew that the girls would be releasing this ‘All About’ DVD like their seniors, Dong Bang Shin Ki. I first heard my Cassiopeia friend whining about getting All About TVXQ Season 3 ever since we were in high school and I did wonder why was she pinning her hopes on getting a pricy DVD set. And now I know.
All About Girls’ Generation (AAGG) was shot in Phuket, Thailand, somewhere last year. A photo was leaked online and some fans had speculated it to be from AAGG. Then earlier this year, an announcement was made that there really is going to be an All About Girls’ Generation, with 6DVDs and all. We were all really excited about it and waited for the release date patiently.
Now that the release date had passed, some fans had already gotten their copy of AAGG, mostly the Korean fans and also some of the international fans whose orders got shipped out early. I’m still waiting for mine, which will most likely arrive in a few weeks (yes, weeks. It’s a slow and agonizing wait. But I can do it! 나는 할 수있다!)
Some fans ripped the videos from the DVD and uploaded them online for viewing and downloading. If I were who I was a couple of years back, I would’ve watched and downloaded it off the internet. But now, no, sorry but downloading stuff like this is so not my thing. Songs, yes, I download, but this, no way man. This sort of stuff is too precious to be downloaded. (I know it doesn’t make sense but never mind, I’m not expecting you guys to understand.)
Shouldn’t fans be supporting their idols? By supporting, I guess in my opinion, buying their merchandises is the best way to do it. Though lots of people had told me off about it “do you really think you’re helping them? Please la, don’t be so naïve. Your money is not going into their pockets but the company’s”
Just let me be in my own naïve little world.
Anyway, back to the topic. Staff members of Soshified together with fans have been urging people not to post DVD rips and download link in hopes of getting fans to buy AAGG. It’s understandable though why some don’t want to buy it, it’s pretty pricy (about US$73 if you order from yesasia.com) and not all parents would allow it. My mom, much to my surprise, just told me “go ahead, but if this doesn’t work out, there won’t be a next time.” (so I made sure everything went well during ordering.)
So yea, the moral of this incredibly long winded post is: try your best to buy, it feels way better than downloading and also you’re supporting your idol the right way.
SM Entertainment released 2 teasers roughly a week before the release date of 30th June 2011. The first teaser was released via their official Youtube account on the 24th and the second teaser on the 28th. Both teasers contain cuts from all 6discs, merge into 2 videos, each about 5-6 minutes. Both teasers have been subbed by Soshisubs =]
