Sugar and spice and all that's nice make the SNSD girls such a chart-busting standout
So Nyeo Shi Dae, Girl's Generation, SNSD, Shao nu Shi Dai, Soshi- only one thing comes to mind for many kpop fans upon hearing these words, intoducing Korea's representative girl group, "Ji geum eun So Nyeo Shi Dae!" Literally translating to "Right now , it's Girls Generation!", this intoductory statement that girls shout out before or after performances has become synonymous with the arrival of the best of the best of the Korean girl groups.
Having debuted two years ago under SM entertainment in Korea, the nine girls that make up Girl's Generation have steadily risen up the ranks of the Korean entertainment industry not just wit their music and performances, but also with various other activities such as acting, modelling, emceeing, deejaying, variety shows, reality shows, (they currently have their very own show called Hello Baby on KBS) and commercial endorsements.
However, the girls made their biggest splash earlier this year when they released the song Gee, which reached an all-time record with nine consecutive wins in the weekly music variety show Music Bank. No artist in the history of Korean entertainment industry ever achieved such a feat and most experts in the industry admitted the record will probably stand for a very long time. It would seem that the number nineis truly a lucky number of these nine girls.
The girls also have the distinction of being the only female act in Korea thus so far to ever sell 100,000 copies consecutively for each of the past three albums they've released. Baby Baby in 2008, Gee i the earlier half of 2009, and Tell Me Your Wish(Genie) during the second half of 2009. However, apart from selling numerous albums upon each release, the girls also set fashion trendes in Korea with their unique album concepts.
For Gee, the girls followed through with their already sweet, pure and innocent image and wore skinny jeans in bright neon rainbow colors. It was an instant hit with thousands of men and women in Korea and thousands more across the world! One fan remarked on Youtube video Gee music Video," I never knew girls this cute cute could ever exist!"
When they released Genie last July, they switched to a more mature image with a military concept. The girls wore army attire for the album and in all their performances, From infantry fatigues to navy officer uniforms, it drove all the male fans wild! One must remember that Korea, men must two years of mandatory military service. So, havinga beautiful, young girl looking at you straight in the eye saying "Tell me your wish, I'll be your genie' whilst wearing a sexy military uniform be enough to drive any Korean male crazy!
Girl's Generation fans are called Sones, and they include tens of thousands in Korea to as far as Europe and even more surprising, the Middle East! This evidenced by the 48,000 members that are is home to the largest international fanbase of Girl's Generation.
This is no surprise since Girl's Generation can speak over four different languages, Korean, English (Jessica and Tiffany are Korean-American), Japanese (Sooyoung was a child star in Japan) and Chinese Mandarin (Hyoyeon studied in China for over a year).
Currently, the girls are taking a break. But SM Entertainment has hinted that they are resting in preparation for their promotional activities in China. It would seem that these nine girls, Taeyeon,Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyon are poised to take over the world, currently adding the Philippines to their list of conquests with the tremendous sales of their Genie album release.
Truly, it is now a girl's generation. SNSD Fighting! Ji geum eun, So Nyeo Shi Dae!
