Once outside the mainstream American music spotlight, K-pop is now a sensation not only on the U.S. scene but globally, led by such enormously popular acts as SMTOWN superstars KANGTA, BoA, TVXQ!, and Super Junio. On November 6th, CJ Entertainment America will release I Am: SMTOWN, a full-length concert featuring many of these popular acts.
Included in I Am: SMTOWN Live World Tour in Madison Square Garden is the full-length, sold-out 2011 U.S. concert (approx. 2 ¾ hours) at one of the world's most-hallowed music arenas and a feature-length documentary (approx. 2 hours) highlighted by exclusive, backstage footage. Plus special features (approx. 45 minutes).
I Am: SMTOWN ventures behind the scenes, providing intimate and unprecedented access to these mega-hit acts – doe-eyed girl groups, high-octane boy bands, provocative solo artists and swaggering duos – sharing their personal memories and backstage antics, as well as never-before-seen peeks at youthful audition tapes.
Pulling influences from techno, hip-hop, rap, R&B and top-40, the I Am: SMTOWN U.S. tour is highlighted by effervescent music; high-energy performances with a dance pop sensibility; teasing choreography; trend-setting high fashion; and elaborate, futuristic staging.
A must for any fan! And if you haven't already been hit by hallyu (Korean wave, a term coined to describe the rapidly expanding, international popularity of South Korean culture and food), you will be after experiencing the no-boundaries music of SMTOWN.

"SMTOWN in New York" featurette
"What's Your Color?" featurette (SMTOWN artists reveal their favorite colors)

Girls' Generation on blu-ray! I'd rather have a release of their music videos. I think there is going to be a blu-ray release of their videos in Japan, though I fear that it will be largely their Japanese videos rather than their original Korean videos.
tycerium - nope it's all of their videos including the original Korean except for their very recent Japanese version of Oh! and All My Love Is For You.
Check-out the international/English fan-site Soshified.com and SNSDKorean.com for exact details.
I have their Japan concert on Blu and it's lovely! It's pretty awesome that blu-ray.com is reporting this! Wow - I guess nothing gets past them. :-)
