In 2011, after a series of activities in Japan, the group returned to the Korean music scene with "The Boys", which was released in three languages: Korean, Japanese, and for the first time, English. By 2012 the group has sold over 100,000 copies for each of their six Korean studio album releases, totaling over 4.4 million albums and 30 million digital singles along with their EPs, singlesand releases in other languages. In 2010 alone, the group sold more than 11,730,000 albums and singles collectively. The group's immense popularity in their native South Korea has earned them titles "The Nation's Singers" and "The Nation's Girl Group". The SisaJournal named the group as the most influential entertainers for the years 2011 and 2012, making them the first female idol group in history to make the list. They have also been listed as #1 on the Top Female Singer's list for 4 consecutive years in a row (sans 2nd half of 2011 at #2) on the Leespiar Popularity Survey in Korea.

The group began a foray into the Japanese music scene in late 2010 under Nayutawave Records, with Japanese remakes of their 2009 Korean hits "Genie" and "Gee". The group's debut Japanese album, Girls' Generation, released in June 2011, is currently the highest selling album in Japan by a Korean group in Oricon history. It was certified "Million" by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, which made them the second Korean artist to earn such an achievement in Japan since label mate BoA's "Best of Soul" in 2005. The group returned to the Japanese music scene in June 2012 with single "Paparazzi", followed by two other single albums, "Oh! / All My Love Is For You" and "Flower Power", concluded by their second full length Japanese album, Girls' Generation II ~Girls & Peace~.
