# Into the New World Tour

Into the New World Tour is the first Asian concert tour of South Korean girl group Girls' Generation. It commenced with two shows in December 2009 in Seoul, followed by two encore shows in February 2010, before the Asian legs in Shanghai and Taipei. Additionally, on August 25, 2010, the group visited Tokyo, Japan for their Premium Showcase Live in Ariake Colosseum. This was their first ever concert performance in Japan, and it launched their debut in Japan.

## Overview

The tour was announced by SM Entertainment in November 2009. The tickets for the tour went on sale on November 19, and they were sold out in 3 minutes.
   We are happy and nervous to bring you our first solo concert. We will practice hard to give you a memorable and charismatic performance.
At the Taipei Arena concert in Taiwan on the 16th and 17th, around 24,000 people attended. The tickets to both of Girls' Generation concerts were sold out, establishing a record for having the most people in attendance for a foreign female artist (at that time).
The tour initially consisted of two Korean shows on December 19 and 20, 2009. It was later announced that the group would play two "Encore" shows on February 27 and 28, 2010. The Encore concert on February 27 and 28 was different from their concert in December 2009, in terms of set list. Super Junior member Eunhyuk was set to appear as a guest at the encore concert but had to pull out because he was diagnosed with H1N1 influenza on February 26 thus replaced by Leeteuk and Heechul.
The concert in Bangkok, originally scheduled for July 24, 2010, was postponed indefinitely due to the 2010 Thai political protests. The live album Into the New World was recorded in Seoul released on December 30, 2010, in South Korea.
