Girls Generation

Girls' Generation adalah salah satu girlband Korea Selatan yang popularitasnya telah mendunia. Dibawah naungan SM Entertainment, Girls' Generation dibentuk tahun 2007 dengan total sembilan personil. Mereka adalah Tae Yeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Kwon Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona dan Seohyun.

Girls' Generation juga sering disebut SNSD oleh Sone (sebutan fans Girls' Generation), singkatan dari "So Nyeo Shi Dae" dalam bahasa Korea. Pada awalnya, mereka diberi nama Super Girl, versi wanita dari Super Junior. Namun nama itu kemudian diubah menjadi Girls' Generation.

Masing-masing personil terpilih dari berbagai macam metode, yaitu mulai dari audisi (beberapa melalui SM Sistem Casting) hingga audisi terbuka. Setelah melalui seleksi ketat, mereka berhasil menjadi peserta training di asrama SM Entertainment. Durasi training masing-masing personil berbeda, rata-rata lebih dari 3 lima tahun. Hanya Sunny saja yang menjalani masa training singkat di SM selama 9 bulan, karena sebelumnya keponakan CEO SM Entertainment ini sudah dilatih selama 5 tahun di agensi lain. Sebagian personil Girls' Generation sudah dilatih di bidang akting dan modeling, serta berpengalaman menjadi model iklan di televisi dan majalah.
