Girls' Generation – South Korean girl band

Girls' Generation was formed in 2007 in Seoul. The lineup includes Sooyoung, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Sunny, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Yoona, and Seohyun. Initially, the band had nine members, but the vocalist Jessica left in September 2014.

Even though the band’s official name is Girls’ Generation, it also performs under such names as So-nyuh Shi-dae, SoShi, and SNSD.

The idea to create a band belonged to SM Entertainment. The company arranged training camps for young talents. One of such talents was Jessica, who worked with the label since 2000. The rest of the group members auditioned between 2001 and 2003.

In 2007, the group debuted during a reality show School of Rock, which aired on Mnet. The girls performed their first song “Into The New World”. They also took part in SBS’s Inkigayo. The song was a cover version of an old hit “Kissing You”, recorded in 1989 by Lee Seung-cheol.

At that time, many organizers tried to book Girls’ Generation for private events.

In 2010, the group presented its second LP, Oh!. The album topped South Korea Gaon Albums Chart, came in second on Taiwan G-Music Albums Chart and settled on the 54th spot of Japanese Oricon Album Chart. The same year, the artists presented a new EP, Hoot. It conquered the national charts.

In 2014, the girls presented a new EP, Mr.Mr. It topped South Korea Gaon Albums Chart and came in third on US World Albums Chart. The single “Mr.Mr.” became a huge hit, selling more than 900,000 copies.

In 2015, the group recorded another LP, Lion Heart, for the South Korean audience. It topped South Korea Gaon Albums Chart and US World Albums Chart. Singles “Lion Heart” and “Party” climbed to high spots on the charts and sold about a million copies each.
