K-pop group Girls’ Generation took another major step in breaking to the mainstream US market last night. They performed their song The Boys on The Late Show with David Letterman in front of a nationwide late night audience. It was their first network TV debut. Not only was David Letterman mesmerized by their performance, but guests Regis Philbin and Bill Murray were also in awe. Watch Kim Taeyeon, Jessica Jung, Sunny, Tiffany, Kim Hyoyeon, Kwon Yuri, Choi Sooyoung, Im Yoona and Seohyun strut their stuff on stage.

Outside the Late Show Studios, Girls’ Generation parked their tour bus and were mobbed by fans. (How’s that for a US welcome?)

Girls Generation isn’t the only all female K-pop group making a splash in the US. Tomorrow, the Wonder Girls will have a special on Teen Nick featuring the song “The DJ is Mine“.
