SNSD is taking New York by storm! On the 2nd of February, SNSD continued their promotional activities in New York for their first American single "The boys" and they were at the popular BEST BUY store in Union Square for a fan signing event. However, over 1,300 fans and media flocked into the event causing a lot of confusion in the event.

Also, fans were standing in line early in the morning and the they had to call the police to ensure everyone's safety. BEST BUY staff had to suspend the operation of the store for safety reasons because of the huge crowd. The staff said, "So far, we had to discontinue the event because of too many fans and this is the first time since Lady Gaga that this has happened". The event lasted for 1 hour and 30 minutes where the girls exchanged greetings and shook hands with fans. They were able to meet one on one with some of their fans.

Looks like the staff from BEST BUY did not expect such a huge crowd to appear and the police had to interrupt the fan signing event due to overcrowding which is also for everyone's safety. It's also nice to see that SNSD has a lot of fans in New York.
