"Girls' Generation" walks the royal road of K-POP October 2011
K-POPの王道を歩む「少女時代」2011年10月
Girls' Generation appears on the front page of a leading British newspaper... As expected of a "National Treasure Girl"
'National girl group' Girls' Generation graced the front page of British newspapers.
Girls' Generation appeared on the front page of London Evening Standard, a leading British newspaper, on the 3rd (local time). At the top of the first page is the image of Taeyeon Tiffany and the headline "K-Pop Crazy." The newspaper is one of Britain's leading newspapers.
Also, on the 30th of last month, the Guardian, a British newspaper, published an article about Hallyu in Japan and a photo of Girls' Generation. Girls' Generation, which consists of 9 members, debuted in the summer of 2018 to the roar of about 20,000 fans, and sold out the tickets for their Japan tour this year.
Netizens reacted to Girls' Generation's success with comments such as ``Girls who are going beyond Korea and going out into the world,'' ``The true national treasure Girls are ``Girls' Generation,'' and ``An article that warms our hearts.'' Meanwhile, Girls' Generation will release their 3rd album simultaneously around the world in the middle of this month.

I've been looking through all the Flash mob videos uploaded to YouTube. I feel that K-POP is becoming an amazing thing all over the world.
Women (girls) are the mainstream of Flash mobs. Their performances are held in parks, station plazas, shopping district plazas, in front of supermarkets, and other places (it's fun just to feel the state of the country and town), almost every day, every few hours. Then those videos will be uploaded to YouTube.
They line up and start dancing to us who are watching. Behind them are girls standing holding placards with the names of their favorite singers.
It must be difficult to learn just one dance choreography, but I'm surprised that there are daughters who can dance to most of the music that comes out of the boombox. The breadth of the repertoire puts K-POP singers to shame.
Some girls try to dance well, while others say that it's okay as long as they can dance with others. It seems that there are many people who are not in the dance circle but are enjoying it.
Some perform with large crowds, while others are performed in small squares with only close friends.
They are uploaded every day from all over the world.
For boys, the music of SUPER JUNIOR, SHINee, MBLAQ, BEAST, and BIGBANG is often heard.
For girls, 2ne1, Girls' Generation, f(x), t-ara, Miss A, 4Minute (Four Minute → HyunA's Bubble Pop is very popular), Wonder Girls, Brown Eyed Girls. It's done.
2ne1 is what I hear most about girls' music.
- Negatives Her Chai Chai Ladder (Panpaka Pappa Pappa) phrase is already burned into my ears.
The next song I often listen to is t-ara's "Roly-Poly". Thousands of people are dancing to this music well at the Flash mob in Mexico. In spite of the mix of men and women, and the age groups of the dancers, the dance is well-coordinated, and it seems that their joyful feelings reach the audience.
Girls' Generation's music is of course played well. However, I feel that they are slightly behind the two groups mentioned above.
I have the impression that the music is outdone by the eccentricity and flamboyance of the idea.
However, that doesn't mean you should immediately become pessimistic.
Girls' Generation's melodic music is on the royal road of K-POP. Their music is the mothership of K-POP. The mothership never goes to the front line.
Those who listened to "I AM THE BEST" and those who listened to "Roly-Poly" will probably become familiar with Girls' Generation's music next.
Fans who hit the gates of K-POP will probably end up at the music of "Girls' Generation" at least once, no matter where they enter.
