Local media reported Monday the group already has plans to appear on variety shows to follow its return as a whole unit next month. According to the reports, all eight members of the group are set to shoot an episode for KBS2’s “Happy Together” on Saturday.

A staff member of “Happy Together” also confirmed that the Girls’ Generation’s episode will air sometime in August.

The report added the group will continue appearing on other programs like JTBC’s “Ask Us Anything” next month as well, which will mark the group’s first time appearing on the program together.

Girls’ Generation, which debuted in 2007, is scheduled to hold a special fan meeting to celebrate its 10th anniversary on Aug. 5. The act will release its sixth studio album, the group’s first musical project as a complete group since “Lion Heart” in 2015, early in the month. The exact date for its release has not yet been revealed.
