SNSD-Intel Collaboration
It’s confirmed! SNSD are the Asian CF models for IT giant, Intel.
SNSD and Intel will be doing various promotional campaigns and activities starting today, January 10th to target customers in Korea and other Asian countries.
SNSD’s stylish and charming image blends well with Intel’s ‘Visibly Smart’ motto for its ’2nd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors’.
During the promotions, consumers in Korea and other parts of Asia will be able to see the girls through theirmusic video which will be available in both 2D and 3D, various web contents, photos and others.
The MV which is the fruit of the collaboration between Intel and SNSD shall be officially released on January 17th.
The girls stated, “It will be a great music video as fans will be able to sing along easily and at the same time witness SNSD’s style of living. This musical project with Intel was really fun and interesting. When we heard about Intel, the famous ‘Bong’ sound came to our minds automatically”. On January 18th, SNSD will also be taking part in the launch of Intel’s new product.
During the launch, besides introducing Intel’s ’2nd Generation Intel® Core™ processor’ to about 1000 customers, there will also be various events where SNSD’s new song will be revealed.
On the other hand, Intel have advised fans to consult SM Entertainment regarding SNSD’s promotional schedules in other Asian countries.
UPDATE 1: Title of the new song revealed
SNSD’s new song ‘Visual Dreams‘ will be released via various music sites such as Melon, Bugs!, Dosirak, etc on January 17th. On January 18th, the MV will be revealed on sment YouTube channel, SNSD’s official site and Intel sites. Teaser of the ‘Visual Dreams’ MV is expected to be unveiled at noon (KST) on January 14th.
There seems to be a slight change to the original plan. The MV which was scheduled to be released on January 17th will be unveiled on January 18th instead. Does that mean that it will be revealed during Intel’s product launching then?
UPDATE 2: ‘Visual Dreams’ MV teaser revealed
The teaser MV was revealed at around 12.00pm KST. The first thing that came into my mind was “OMG! I need to see more” and I keep replaying the 30-second teaser for at least half an hour. The song is catchy and some of theSOSHIROBOTIC dance moves are really cute. Also, I noticed there are some ‘Run Devil Run’ dance steps in it (focus on Jessica). Besides the song and the dance, the patterns in the background gives you a retro feel, including the fonts at the end of the teaser. This is exciting and I bet everyone could not wait any longer to see the whole thing. I don’t know about you but I can’t since I’m now teased by such an awesome teaser.
Haven’t seen it? Here it is:
SNSD’s ‘Visual Dreams’ was released at about 12.45pm KST on January 17th via various music sites such as MelOn, Bugs!, etc. Two phrases that came to my mind after listening to the song – ‘All-kill’ and ‘Daebak’. The catchy song will be playing non-stop on my computer from now on. Here’s the lyric for you to sing along:
