SM Entertainment has just updated their Facebook as well as twitter with this mysterious image shown above, quickly gaining the attention of eager fans who have been dying to hear news of the one and only Girls' Generation!

The photo shows a badge like figure with "So-Nyu-Shi-Dae" written on the front with wings off to the side and decorated with Korea's national flower "Mugunghwa" or�Hibiscus syriacus, aka Rose of Sharon, in between.

The date printed on the bottom says December 21st, 2012 10 AM, giving us a heads up for when we can expect this mysterious project to be revealed (that is, if the world doesn't end by then...).

What do you think it's for? Is it a full on comeback for Girls' Generation or a special campaign? Leave your guesses down below!
