Meet Korea’s 9-Girl Pop Supergroup
The hottest pop song in Korea right now is from the girl-group version of Wu-Tang. Yep, there are nine'count ‘em'nine members of Girls’ Generation (a.k.a. SNSD), whose just-released single and video “Gee” (click through to watch it) is about as stupidly addictive as Asian pop can get. Which means to say: stupidly, stupidly addictive.
Though SNSD may appear to consist of faceless Korean fembots, there really are nine distinct people in the group. We previously featured SNSD in our round-up of Korean girl groups, but this time we’re taking a close-up look at each member.
Click here to meet each member of Korea’s hottest girl group!

yo~ dear commentator(,
do you even realize the difference between WG and SNSD?
If you knew that, you wouldn’t have said SNSD needs more
U-Bin. What ur doing now is claiming Pussy Cat needs more Whitneys.
yo~ U id ‘korean’!
based on what rationale R U claiming TeaYeon flirtatious?
Have U bought even one of their albums? Guess not… then U have no right to recount their songs!!! U pest in Music Industry!!

I’m singing along to Gee and I don’t even know Korean. That’s how stupidly addictive it is.
And whoa, dubious singing ability? Please. Check your ears.

Gosh you Koreans just don’t get it. What’s with the “You wouldn’t like your idol to be accused would you?” nonsense?
IT’S NOT NORMAL to be that obsesssed with celebrities! Normal people do NOT spend their lives trying to “defend their idol’s honor”! What is WRONG with you people? So what if someone says some thing about them? Don’t you have anything good to do with your life?!? My god
Metrocard March 15, 2009 at 12:45 pm
yo Damn speaks the truth!
qwerty March 19, 2009 at 12:38 am
are you serious…….
they’re nothing compared to the WONDER GIRLS…
even if im a dbsk/big bang fan not wg’s, i still think wg stepped on snsd big time.
wonderfooled March 20, 2009 at 12:38 am
@qwerty: well, what you think it’s not important, is it? especially since you are not even a wg fan. :)
WG SUCKS BIG TIME. PCD wannabes. tsk.
tisls March 20, 2009 at 1:18 am
oh blah blah blah..
there has already been perez who blogged about WG..wat can’t stand to see SNSD being blogged about..tch..wow..you guys amaze me
Bebebebaby! March 20, 2009 at 8:04 am
Hot group.
Tanya Reid April 3, 2009 at 7:27 am
i am british & i love k-pop.
just one thing, taeyeon is a VERY talented singer.
how is her singing dubious?
and that is a HORRIBLE picture of tiffany. she is absolutely gorgeous & adorable. you should write that yoona is a brilliant actor :D
gee April 5, 2009 at 10:42 am
Oh~ looks like snsd’s really everywhere. Im not a korean, so i dont really get all of their issues with the article…
But i must say, i love snsd. And i think theyre talented enough to deserve the attention <3
I just dont think the article’s flattering, though. Cant even say i like it. Haha. btw, im a girl…made sense?
So korean fans, please stop bashing, you dont have to take this one seriously in my opinion…
gee April 5, 2009 at 10:48 am
P.S.
Taeyeon is a GOOD singer. Her tone might not be that outstanding, but her skills are good enough to cover up her weaknesses. Get what i mean?
SNSD as a group is a pretty decent performer- vocals and dance wise…
I agree with u for one. I love seohyun (maknae), too! ;-)
rossy ross April 13, 2009 at 4:11 am
snsd’s gee is super addictive. please don’t compare girl groups. cause they definitely differ from each other in a lot of aspects. :]
whoa May 6, 2009 at 12:41 am
huh? why are some people so sensitive to the jokes on this article? o_o I’m a Korean girl, and I was just glad they’re making news on american websites… No need to be defensive or rude, die-hard fans… Btw, I guess I’m pretty proud of them too for making it this far :]]
G-Dragon June 5, 2009 at 9:04 am
Oh my gosh, everyone in my school are singing ‘Gee’. but i think ‘into the new world’ or ‘Girl’s Generation’ is better than ‘Gee’ what do you reckon?
G-Dragon June 5, 2009 at 9:27 am
if you knew little bit more about snsd, you wouldn’t say like that…… I think you guys sent your notions to the Andromeda Galaxy.
Do you reckon being singer is that easy?
They have trained 5~7 years in SM entertainment and went to snsd difficultly. Also they explicated about the rumours in ‘Radio Star’……
And Why do you care about they had relationship or not? I think having relationship is no good for an Idol Star………
tempmo August 20, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Taeyeon a dubious singing ability? Aw hell naw. She’s the best female idol singer in the world!
Good article besides that :)
