I know the song was recorded in 2008, but was the video filmed then too?
Because it looks new - like they filmed it in 2012, but set it in 2008 using their own costumes.
Does anybody know?
It's new, they just used wigs etc. so it'd look like it was filmed back then.

"Mercy" took the world by storm just as Girls' Generation's popularity began taking off with their first mini-album "Gee," which saw the group posing with white shirts and jeans on the cover. The video plays off this same nostalgia with the girls going "back in time" to 2008 wearing the same jeans and shirt combination (in addition to wigs that copy their former hairstyles).
