Our favorite South Korean nine-girl pop super-group (that’s SNSD, suckas!) just dropped a video for the debut single from its second “mini”-album, which comes out this week. The new song, though not quite as catchy as “Gee,” is still pretty damn good, even if “genie” imagery in pop music feels a little Xtina circa ‘99. We’re not really feeling the new looks of Yoona or Sooyoung, but Taeyeon and Tiffany are looking better than ever and Yuri is forever a dimepiece. We probably shouldn’t print what we’d really wish to do with these girls if we had the chance…

Our recent feature on SNSD, Korea’s nine-girl pop group, drew a lot of attention from closet K-pop devotees and perplexed Korean news sites. But it wasn’t long before the streets started asking: How are we gonna cover SNSD and leave out the Wonder Girls? That’s like covering Nas but ignoring Jay-Z. Well, a message to the streets'we’ve heard your call.
And the timing couldn’t be better. The Wonder Girls are currently on an American tour, with a concert tomorrow night in L.A. and another on Sunday in NYC. Rumor has it that the group’s mini-tour is the prelude to a stronger push into the U.S. market. To prepare yourself for the WG invasion, here’s your chance to meet each member of the Wonder Girls and vote on your favorite…
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.
