On October 29, Girls Generation appeared at the special 1,000th stage of KBS's 'Open Concert' and participated in the press conference.
Seohyun and Tiffany said, "Thank you very much for letting Girls' Generation stand on stage with the sunbaes and hoobaes that we admire. Like 'Open Concert,' which had its 1,000th stage, Girls' Generation hopes to become singers who can receive love for a long, long time."
The announcer of the event asked, "Who are the hoobae singers that are here?" and Girls' Generation named 2NE1.
The announcer then asked them to say something to this hoobae so Seohyun said, "We watch 2NE1's performances and learn a lot. We even dance with them in the waiting room . . . We thank you for always showing us a good performance. Even in the future, we hope you will be with us for a long, long time."
