Quake in Japan: No decision from SM yet, SNSD conveyed warm words to victims

Due to the current earthquake and Tsunami disaster in Japan, there will be meetings between entertainment agencies in Korea and Japan on March 14th (morning) to discuss and work out their future plans and schedules. Last weekend, due to the disastrous events, agencies were busy in making sure and confirming the safety of their Japanese office and staff. Although music companies in Tokyo are expected to resume their usual business activities, delay of album releases and cancellation of scheduled activities is highly possible.

A representative of SM Entertainment said, “The safety of our employees in Japan is more important than anything else. Therefore, we have not discussed any matters pertaining to business. We will have a meeting on March 14th. As of now, there is still no decision if any of the activities will be canceled/postponed”.

Meanwhile, SNSD sent their deepest condolences and prayers to the victims of the quakes through a mobile fansite. Here is the message from the girls which has been translated by our friends at Soshified:

“We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the victims of the Tohoku Pacific Ocean Earthquake. We came to know about the news of the earthquake in Thailand. Regarding SNSD who have activities in Japan, this is not somebody else’s problem and all of the members are concerned. Even now, the aftershocks, tsunami and disasters continuously occur and there are serious damages. This current condition pains our hearts very much. We pray from our hearts that everybody will peacefully overcome this hardship.“

Moreover, this context also mentioned that new technology development nowadays makes Korean idols succeed rapidly. Someone said, after they saw a picture of Girls’ Generation in this book, something like “This is not bad. Is Girls’ Generation’s picture is in page 75 right?” or “Now I want to buy this textbook” and “Wow, Girls’ Generation is so brilliant.”

It’s amazed me when I know this news. This news shows us than Girls’ Generation nowadays becomes a symbol of Korea. Girls’ Generation symbolizes Korea. It is great to have Girls’ Generation in textbook because next generation will know and learn that the best girl group of Asia is Korean people. We can say that Girls’ Generation creates new history for Korea and Korean people are proud of them, so do I.

February, 5, 2011, KBS 2TV 'Generation Empathy Saturday', a Korean TV Game show, broadcasted the ranking of famous girl groups in Korea with audience attendees were able to choose their favorite girl group to become ‘girl group BEST10’. They could choose any girl groups that they want since in the past till the present.      

Finally, Fin.K.L and Girls’ Generation were two girl groups who remained on the top ranking. Of course, Girls’ Generation was able to win their senior girl group and became the winner. 

The 3^rd rank belonged to Wonder Girls, following by S.E.S. There were other famous girl groups like 2NE1, Brown Eyed Girls, KARA, Secret, f(x) and Baby V.O.X. in this ranking as well.

I think that this news also indicate to popularity of Girls’ Generation in Korea as well like other news. The only thing I can say that right now no one in Korea can refuse that they do not know Girls’ Generation. Actually, Fin.K.L is senior girl group in SM Entertainment like Girls’ Generation. Vote result tells us very well that now Girls’ Generation is the famous girl group in Korea because they now can win their senior and become number 1.

Beyond unstoppable! Girls’ Generation won 'Asia Star Award' in '2011 Asia Model Awards'

Girls’ Generation confirmed their popularity by claiming 'Asia Star Award'. Moreover, they magnificently performed their popular songs like ‘Hoot’, Run Devil Run’ and ‘Oh!’. 

January 21, 2011, many Asian singers, actors attended '2011 Asia Model Awards' at Marriott hotel, Seoul, Korea.

Of course, Girls’ Generation again claimed the biggest award, 'Asia Star Award', proudly and also Kwon Sang Woo, Jerry Yan as well.

SNSD said, “Thank you to all the fans in the world that have given us so much love. We will work harder for everyone. Please give some love to other singers and the SM Town family.”  Tiffany impressed by sharing the speech in English since it was a global event.

'Asiae Model Awards' is cooperation among six countries in Asia which consisted of South Korea, China, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia and Mongolia by slogan ‘One Asia’.

I think now no one can refuse that Girls’ Generation or SNSD are the best girl group of Asia. From this news, we are able to see that they can claim the biggest award in the intercontinental event. It explicitly indicates us to see that Girls’ Generation now is very popular among Asian people. This award is a prize for their working hard for the whole last year.

Non-Stop!! Girls’ Generation claimed four awards in '20th Seoul Music Awards'

Girls’ Generation have continually claimed awards since last year. They recently claimed four awards in '20th Seoul Music Awards'.

20 January, 2011, Girls’ Generation attended '20th High1 Seoul Music Awards' at Seoul, Korea. Although they are special guest for this event, they are able to claim four awards which are ‘Bonsang Award’,'Hallyu Award', 'Popularity Award' and ‘Daesang Award’ from '20th Seoul Music Awards'.“We thank to our parents so much and also thanks to SM Entertainment and our fan club that always support us.”, said by Girls’ Generation.    

‘Daesang Award’ point comes from ‘ARS’ vote result since January-December last year, 20%, Sports Seoul Popularity 10%, Digital-sale 30% and committee 30%.

From this news, I still believe that this year still be the year of Girls’ Generation although they have a plan to promote their album in Japan more than Korea. This award is a confirmation that Girls’ Generation now is the best girl group of Asia. Although they stop working hard at the early of this year, they still claim many awards continually since last year.

Girls’ Generation and KARA claimed ‘Rookie of the Year’ at 'Japan Golden Disk Awards'

January 04, 2010, 'Japan Golden Disk Awards' officially announced through website that Girls’ Generation and KARA claimed 'Rookie of the Year' or ‘New Artist of the Year’ award after they became popular in Japan impressively.   

However, Girls’ Generation and KARA claimed this award differently. Girls’ Generation won in ‘J-POP’ field while KARA won in ‘International’ field. What Girls’ Generation and KARA have in common was presenting Korean popular trend in Japan and confirmation about Korean girl group power.

Consequently, Girls’ Generation and KARA were focused on because they were successful although Year 2010 was their first year for debut.

I think that this is just the beginning for Girls’ Generation and KARA because many new artists will become their competitor. However, I believe that Girls’ Generation can walk through this situation and still sit in the throne named “The best girl group of Asia.”
