He's spared us from having to listen to their album for a few more weeks, he should be up for a good citizen's award.

Only one copy? No backup?

Maybe it was deleted by mistake when someone was making the backup. Can't believe they don't have an undelete program on their system, either.

I heard that their new song will start out with a beat, and then one of the girls will say a few gangsta English lines. Then the group will all sing Korean lyrics, with a ridiculous Konglish hook.

Actually, let me correct myself. This wins the stupid award.

Maybe their manager used to work at Korean immigration.

In the age of cloud computing, it doesn't seem likely that one of Korea's biggest companies would only have one copy of the music video to edit or enhance. It doesn't seem likely that they would let it affect them to the point of delaying Girls' Generation's comeback. The more likely explanation is that SM Entertainment lied to the public to gain a more advantageous position in the battle against YG.

Girls' Generation has confirmed their album release to be 5PM KST today!

Perhaps fueled by revelations of an album leak earlier today, Girls' Generation will be releasing their song online all over the world today. The mini album contains 6 songs of all different genres, including ballad, dance, and synth pop, including title song "Mr.Mr".

The album will be released offline on the 27th, and the girls will have their first comeback stage on March 6th on 'M! Countdown'
