TROLLS may be banned at any time, without notice.
Click the REPORT button if the discussion/argument is getting serious and isn't under control.

RULE #2
NO ONE-LINER POSTS / NO SPAMMING

Keep aside any non-SNSD topics. This is a SNSD thread after all.

RULE #7
GIVE PROPER CREDIT / SOURCES
If possible, put proper credits to the right owner of the pictures/information.

SNSD | So Nyuh Shi Dae | Girls’ Generation | SoShi

Pre-debut

The members were professionally trained primarily in singing and  dancing, while some members were also selected to be trained in acting  and modeling. Many of the members already had made names for themselves  in the Korean entertainment industry through their participation in  magazine ads, television commercials, and small television appearances.  For nearly two years, Korean websites speculated about which of the  female SM Entertainment trainees would be placed into the group. Before  the official release of the group name, Girls’ Generation (Hangul: 소녀시대 | Hanja: 少女时代),  it was rumored that the group would be named “Super Girls” after their  so-called counterpart, Super Junior. Read their pre-debut roster history  >>here<<.

2007: Debut and first album

In July 2007, Girls’ Generation had their first performance on Inkigayo. The song the girls performed was called “Into the New World” (Korean: 다시 만난 세계), which became their first single. A show documenting the girls’ debut titled “M.Net’s Girls Go To School” was filmed during this time. This documentary helped the girls appeal to the Korean audience as they rose to controversy.

In August 2007, the single “Into the New World” was  released. This single included two other songs, “Beginning” and “Perfect  for You” (Korean: 소원), later the song renamed to “Honey” for their  self-titled debut album Girls’ Generation. An instrumental of “Into the New World” was also included.

The group began promoting the single soon after its release. Girls’ Generation performed their single on SBS’s Inkigayo, MBC’s Show! Music Core, and on KBS’s Music Bank.

After a short break, the group’s first full album was released in late autumn 2007, with the lead single “Girls’ Generation” (Korean: 소녀시대), a cover of Lee Seung-Chul  (Korean: 이승철)’s hit. Promotion for the single started in early  November. Marked by dance routines and vocals, “Girls’ Generation” was a  hit for the group, and the album has sold 121,143 copies to date,  placing 8th in the year-end charts. In early 2008, Girls’ Generation  began promoting their second single, “Kissing You“. The music video featured Donghae from Super Junior. This song achieved the #1 spot in the three main TV music rankings—SBS Inkigayo, M.net M.Countdown! and KBS Music Bank.

In March 2008, the album was re-released and re-titled Baby Baby. A third single, “Baby Baby“, was used to promote the album. A digital EP featuring Jessica, Tiffany, and Seohyun was released on April 2008, titled Roommate. The single from the mini-album is “Oppa Nappa” (“Korean: 오빠 나빠”, literally “Bad Brother”, although contextually it refers to an older male friend).

Girls’ Generation, along with fellow artists such as BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, CSJH the Grace, Zhang Liyin, SHINee and other SM artists participated in SM Town Live ’08. The tour expanded its route to South Korea, Thailand, and China.

2008–2009: Other activities, return with mini-albums

It was announced in autumn 2008 that Girls’ Generation would be starring in a reality show on M.Net. Titled Factory Girl, the show chronicles the girls working as interns at fashion magazine “Elle“. The program began airing in early October.During  their absence from the music scene, they appeared in many commercials  for MapleStory and Mabinogi. It was then announced that the group’s  first mini-album, Gee, would be released in January 2009. A teaser video was released in January 2009 and the first single “Gee”  released soon after. Interest in the song rose after the digital  release, topping Cyworld’s hourly music chart on the release day. The  song also went #1 on all major digital music charts within two days.

The group began its album promotion on January 2009 on MBC Show! Music Core. They sang their new single, “Gee”, and “Him Nae/Way To Go“, another track from the Gee mini-album. This song is a remake of the song “Haptic Motion”  that was used in cellphone advertisements (Samsung Anycall) and is a  mix of bubblegum pop and punk rock. Meanwhile, questions were raised  when the group did not appear on KBS’s Music Bank with “Gee”, even after winning #1 on the music chart show.

“Gee” is the record holder for the longest-running  #1 on music portal M.net (for 8 weeks), surpassing the previous record  of 6 weeks set by the Wonder Girls‘ “Nobody”.They also broke the record on KBS’s music show Music Bank by being #1 for 9 consecutive weeks, previously set by Jewelry‘s “One More Time, which had 7 wins. They won the award for best-selling song for the first half 2009 for “Gee“. Promotions for the song ended at the end of March.

After a short break, SM Entertainment announced that the girls would  be back with a new single and showing a “Marine Girl” concept; the song,  titled “Sowoneul Malhaebwa (Genie)” (Korean: “소원을 말해봐”, literally “Tell Me Your Wish”), the mini album was released digitally on June 22, 2009. The mini-album includes a duet between Jessica and Shinee member Onew called “One Year Later”.

On May 3, 2009. Girls Generation was starred in their new reality show “SNSD Horror Movie Factory“,  with the premier episode receiving a viewership rating of 3.3%. The  show was then cancelled after 6 episodes due to low ratings.

Since June 23, 2009, Girls’ Generation are starring Cable TV program called “SNSD’s Hello Baby”  of KBS Joy, where they are taking care of a child and somewhat  experience how motherhood is like. In that show, they take care of a boy  name “Cho Kyungsan” (Korean: “조경산”), and each week they (or fathers,  male guests who come out time to time) select “The Best Mom” and “the  Worst Mom” among the members according to their work for the day.  Despite the late-night time slot, the show received fairly high ratings  and had been extended for several episodes. The show ended on November  17, 2009.

On June 26, 2009, Girls’ Generation’s comeback performance was recorded on KBS’s Music Bank.The group then had their return performances on MBC’s Music Core and SBS’s Inkigayo on June 27 and 28, 2009. Girls’ Generation’s 2nd mini-album Genie was released on June 29, 2009.

Their first win for their single “Tell Me Your wish (Genie)” was obtained at the July 10, 2009 episode of KBS Music Bank. Their second award was claimed at the July 12, 2009 episode of SBS Inkigayo. The group finished promotions for “Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)” in August 2009.

On October 7, Girls’ Generation, along with label-mate f(x) released a digital single named “Chocolate Love”  for the 4th edition of the Blacklabel series LG CYON phone,  “Chocolate”. Girls’ Generation sang the “Retro Pop Ver.” of the song  while f(x) sang the “Electronic Pop Ver.”

In July, selected members, alongside selected Super Junior members, released the song “S.E.O.U.L. Song“. The music video was released as part of South Korea’s tourism initiative.

The group also announced its first solo tour, with two Korean dates  in December and other Asian locations to follow. The Korean dates sold  out in 3 minutes. The concert is titled “Into the New World : 1st Asia Tour“  after the name of their debut single. Due to the success of the first  concerts, the group confirmed that  they will be holding encore concerts  on February 27 and 28.

2010: Second album, Japan Debut & 3rd Mini Album Hoot

In early 2010, the group was chosen to sing SBS’s new logo song “Naeireul  Bomnida” (Korean: “내일을  봅니다”, “Looking at Tomorrow“).

Later in January, SM Entertainment confirmed the release of Oh!, the group’s second full-length album, released on  January 28.The lead single “Oh!“,   was digitally released on January 25 with the music video being   released two days later. The song proved to be popular topping various  charts upon release.On January 30, the group started promotions with the recording of MBC’s Show! Music Core.The  performance experienced a blackout near the end, to which MBC made  the  whole performance available online. In the KBS’s music show, Music Bank, the song ‘Oh!’  won the award for best-selling song for the first half  of 2010;  wherein the previous year they also won the award with their mega-hit “Gee“.

Starting from March 11, 2010, photos of the members were released   online showcasing a dark concept, so called “Black Girls’ Generation”.The “Black SoShi” nickname is a play on the Korean group name (So Nyeo Shi Dae).  A teaser video was released on March 16, with the new single  released  as a digital single on March 17. The music video for “Run Devil Run” was released on March 17, and the  group performed first on KBS’s Music Bank.

Mid-June, it was announced that the group had signed contracts in  May, and would begin working under Universal Music Japan‘s record label Nayutawave Records  for their Japanese promotions, with their first  Japanese single  expected to be released in September 2010. Girls’ Generation began  promotion in Japan in  August. “少女時代到来～初来日記念盤～” (Girls’ Generation’s Arrival ～ First Time in  Japan Commemoration Disc ～),  a DVD featuring seven of the group’s  music videos as well as special  bonus footage was released on August 11,  with the special edition of  the DVD containing a pink glowstick as well  as a pass to the Girls’  Generation debut at the Tokyo Ariake Colliseum on  August 25. According to Universal Music Japan, the DVD had reached  considerable  success even before physical release, the pre-orders  having sold out.In the first week after release, the DVD sold 23,000 copies, making  no.4 on the weekly DVD Oricon ranking and no.3 on the weekly music DVD  ranking,making  Girls’ Generation the first female k-pop group to make the  Oricon DVD  Top-5 ranking.Amidst their Japanese activities, the group also  participated in the SMTown Live ’10 World Tour alongside their label-mates on August 21 at Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium. And then in Shanghai and Los  Angeles on later dates.

On August 25, the group held their first showcase in Tokyo Ariake   Colliseum. With an initial 10,000 fans invited, it was reported to be  the most  large-scale plan for a Korean artist debuting in Japan.  However, due to high number of expected attendees, the group’s   management announced that the showcase would take place three times in   the same day rather than once to accommodate the estimated 20,000 fans.  The group sang 5 of their Korean tracks at each of the showcases, the   total number of attendees over all three shows estimated to be at least   22,000. At this showcase, the Genie Japanese music  video  was also revealed publicly for the first time, the teaser having  been  released a few days prior on August 20.

Their Japanese debut single “Genie“ peaked at the #5  spot on the same day of its release on the Oricon Charts  and later rose to the #2 position  some time later, earning the group a  #4 position on the Oricon weekly  ranking The group also hit the number  #1 spots on Japan iTunes’ music video  chart and both the Rekochoku  daily video clip chart and incoming  movie daily ranking chart a day  later. With pre-orders amounting to 80,000, the single sold an estimated   45,000 copies in the first week after release, breaking the record for   foreign artists debuting in Japan. The single also placed high on  Japan’s Billboard chart, ranking #4 on  the comprehensive Hot 100 chart,  #5 on the Hot Single Sales Chart and #1  on the Hot Top Airplay chart.  On October 20, 2010, the group released their second Japanese single, “Gee”.

Girls’ Generation also had success in Japan with their Japanese 2nd  single “Gee“.  They took 2nd place and were crowned the first ever  overseas girl  group to claim this position. On October 26, 2010 it was  announced that  their Japanese 2nd single “Gee” reaches #1 on the Oricon  Daily Chart  making them the first non-Japanese Asian girl group to reach  number 1  on the daily chart.

On October 27, 2010, Girls’ Generation’s label SM Entertainment released the group’s third mini album titled Hoot.  The single“Hoot” was  released on October 25 at 10am KST  through various online music  websites. Prior to their comeback, after  just releasing “Hoot” on  October 25, it took less than 7 minutes for “Hoot”  to dominate 7 major  Korean realtime music charts, topping every single  one of them at #1  include Monkey3, Dosirak, Melon, Soridaba, Cyworld,  Bugs and Daum. SM  Entertainment released Hoot MV on October 28, 2010 on  SM homepage and  their official youtube channel. The MV also featuring  Super Junior’s  member Choi Siwon. In less then 24 hours “Hoot” MV hits  more than 1 million viewers on Youtube. They first won their performance on  Music Bank on 5th November 2010.
