Girls’ Generation’s upcoming performance will see the group reunite ahead of their much-anticipated comeback for the first time since since their indefinite hiatus that began in October 2017. The group are set to release a new album in celebration of their 15th anniversary this August, with all eight members involved in the promotions leading up to their new record’s release.

Last month, member YoonA shared an update on the group’s album creation progress through a live broadcast. In it, she confirmed that she was “preparing for the Girls’ Generation album right now”, and has met up with her bandmates “really often” as a result.

“[We] talk often, have a lot of meetings, and now I’m recording and preparing that,” she added. “I’m really looking forward to meeting you again after a long time.”
