It's been 3 months since 9-member girl group Girls' Generation ended their 'Hoot' promotions. There has been great interest on what they have been doing in recent days.
Girls' Generation struck the music industry last October with 'Hoot'. They are currently taking a break from promotions in Korea after 2010's year end performances on all 3 of the major broadcasting channels.
However, being the most popular girl group, Girls' Generation is still busy.
Since the end of 'Hoot' promotions up until the devastating earthquake in Japan, the girls not only promoted in Japan, but they also filmed several commercials in Korea.
SM Entertainment, the music label Girls' Generation is currently in, revealed that on the 28th that "Girls' Generation is still actively filming commercials for Intel, Woongjin Coway water purifier, Vita500, etc".
On March 27th, Intel Korea revealed that they had shown a 3D version of their “Visual Dreams” music video featuring Girls’ Generation. On the 26th, Intel invited both consumers and Intel officials to an exclusive screening to watch the music video.
The “Visual Dreams” campaign was introduced earlier this year when Intel introduced their second generation core processor, except for this occasion; the video was re-introduced in 3D.
"Intel’s new technology makes 3D images easier and more fun to produce, as shown by a video episode," Intel officials said.
The video episode featured the Girls’ Generation members Taeyeon, Yoona, and Seohyun, all of whom who showed that Intel technology can be taken advantage of in your daily life with just a camera image. The episode consisted of the segments: “Seohyun’s Directorial Debut of her Music Video,” “Yoona’s Fashion,” and “Yoona’s confrontation with the Emperor of Starcraft 2 Terran: BOXER.”

Their last mission was to give each other the happiest day as their gift. Sure enough, both of them tried to make the date as special and as memorable as possible, but our Seohyun went the extra mile to make a last stunning impression in front of her on-screen husband.
