After hooked by the Wondergirls and 2ne1 who were both Korean female group, here comes the Girls’ Generation.

It is a South Korean nine member girl group formed by SM entertainment in 2007. Its members include Yoona, Tiffany, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Taeyeon, Jessica, and Sunny. They are commonly referred to as SNSD, the acronym of the group's Korean name So Nyeo Shi Dae or So Nyuh Shi Dae.

The members were professionally trained primarily in singing and dancing while a select few were also trained in acting and modeling. Many of the members had already made appearances in magazine ads, television commercials, and small television appearances. For nearly two years, Korean websites speculated about which female SM Entertainment trainees would be placed into the group. They were speculated to be called Super Girls after their counterpart Super Junior.

It was in 2007 when the first album of the group released. There are four songs included in their album, Into the New World, "Beginning" and "Perfect for You", which was later renamed to "Honey" for their self-titled debut album Girls' Generation. An instrumental of "Into the New World" was also included.

This year, the group already released their newest album entitled “Oh”.

More than 25,000 copies of the Korean pop group’s new album, “Oh,” were sold on the first day of its release on Jan. 28.
