some extracts:


 


'geez, another one?? I doubt they'll be very succesful... and probably won't have exceptional talent. =/ Eh.'


 


'oh my God another one? sleep.gif'


 


'first a girl dbsk;; and now a girl super junior???'


 


'They must have gone nuts after Shinhwa, HOT, SES, etc. disbanded and left. They lost millions while Good Enter was making billions just with Shinhwa alone. 


Are they desperate or are they trying to start a trend?'


 


'*jealous that they're in the same company as SuJu*


T____________T'


 


not throwing any shade or anything. I think it's just interesting to compare the reaction with what we have today. tbh the posts are reaaaaaally similar to people's reactions to today's new groups. if only they knew what was to come haha. makes me wonder if any of the groups we're looking at right now are gonna go the same way

We’ve gotten this requested a lot lately

'SNSD': 'The female Super Junior'

Summary: SM Entertainment revealed teenager girl group SNSD on the 16th. Known as the “female Super Juniorâ€, SNSD is composed of teenagers in the first, second, and third year of high school. Members have been revealed through teasers starting from the 6th, already reaching #1 on search engines. SM released a statement saying, “The group SNSD is meant to hope for a peaceful era of girls, and will be showcasing different talents in English, Chinese, Japanese, singing, acting, talent, MC, DJ, and modeling.â€

Yoona has already shot CFs and music videos and has modeled for Clean & Clear and Sunkist. Sooyoung won over 15,000 others in a contest held by SM and TV Tokyo to form the Japanese-Korean duo Ruote 0. Hyoyeon is already known as dancing queen amongst netizens for her powerful performances and also studied abroad in China in 2004. Yuri has also shot CFs, Taeyeon was featured in a The One song, Tiffany and Jessica are from America, Sunny is a new face, and Seohyun is the maknae.

Comments:

1. Everyone looks the same — It’s scary how they all look so similar.. Who is who… I’m not even looking at foreigners but how can they all look the same like this…It’s kind of scaryâ€

2. Female Super Junior… It’s obvious. They won’t be able to sing and they’ll just go around all huddled up together trying to figure out a way to make it. They’ll fail and some of them will quit to become actresses.. SM has turned K-pop into trash

3. I just don’t like them ㅋㅋ They’re so-so… I don’t think they’ll become popular. I just hate them ㅋㅋ For no reason

4. I don’t think they’ll become popular.. Super Junior is male so they have female fans, but a girl group like this will -ㅅ-

5. I think they’ll fail ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They’re all ugly why are they debuting them, I hate them so much ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ

6. This is when the legend began ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ All those bitches that were talking bad about SNSD are probably hardcore SONEs now (TN: above comment is from 2011)

9 members is too much!…’SNSD’ Roundup

Summary: From the moment we grabbed an interview with SNSD, we began to worry. ‘Where are we going to find room for all these members, and how would we even interview all of them?’ For 9 people, the studio was too small. We couldn’t ask them to go outside with us in 30 degrees Celsius weather to shoot our interview either. We wouldn’t even know if we could take a photo of all 9 well. So we had to resort to an actual TV studio with studio lighting.

The girls haven’t yet gotten accustomed to the celebrity lifestyle yet; getting make-up done so early in the morning, going to the hair salon to get their hair done, and trying to do an interview when you haven’t even fully woken up yet must be hard on these young girls. Eventually, member Yoona seemed to not feel well and had to get an IV to continue.

We will be waiting to see if SNSD will become a one-hit wonder or a well-respected high-scale girl group respected for their talent.

Comments:

1. SNSD? Eh, they don’t look very promising .. It seems like the concept was innocence. They don’t even look like celebrities here. There are so many normal girls on the street who are prettier than them, but can they even sing? Are they even singers? No one stands out either

2. Wow the effects of Photoshop.. Without Photoshop, they really look so average.. SM’s Photoshop skills are amazing

3. They just seem like average people ;; They’re not any better than a pretty girl from school

4. Korea’s Morning Musume.. I like it.. I hope they become big.. Let’s try to make a Korean girl group big too..

5. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Sooyoung ㅋㅋ When I saw her in “Hello Schoolgirl†I was such a big fan ㅋㅋㅋ But why did she have to be in this kind of group.. ㅠㅠ

6. Out of these members…how many will become popular? And who are they going to take out of the group… There is so much rivalry between singers…. If you just leave these girls alone, they’ll probably fight… Out of 9, how many? 3? Maybe 5? will stay and grow?

The female Super Junior, SNSD revealed

Summary: Some of the faces of SNSD are familiar. Most of the members have already been in CFs. According to the agency, the members have skills in English, Chinese, Japanese, singing, talent, and MCing. People are calling them the “female Super Juniorâ€.

Comments:

1. Honestly ㅋㅋ Their visual is the best? Also, because it’s SM, won’t they just be singing weird songs like Wonder Girls or rambling like KARA

2. I know why Lee Soo Man prefers girl idols. Because they don’t have to go to the army. He said it himself. After investing on growing them up, they have to go the army so it’s a pain, and since male idols can retire after going to the army, it must suck for the agencies.

3. The food prices alone for the group is probably no joke… 9 members, the road manager, and many others… If they order from a Chinese restaraunt…ㅎㄷㄷㄷㄷ at least they might get dumplings as service… They won’t even have to order sweet and sour pork

4. SNSD is going to fail. Why?? It’s because Jessica is in the group. I was looking at a video of her and Hyoyeon, and it’s so easy to see how Jessica doesn’t even compare to Hyoyeon––ㅋShe tries to do a wave she cannot do, and what is she going to do about her thigh fat and muffin top…And what kind of name is SNSD? It sounds like a drama ㅋㅋㅋSo tacky

5. Lee Sooman!! You need to hurry up and give up your dreams of making SNSD a big thing^^^^^* Lee Sooman, this time, you’ve made a big mistake!

6. Super Junior had numbers behind them so they were able to get popular… What about you girls… do you think there are a lot of male fans in k-pop?

7. These girls…they’re completely trash~ㅋㅋ Go away. ㅋㅋ

I feel bad for them… ㅉㅉ They’ve already failed ㅉㅉ Especially Jessica ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. Just thinking about how Jessica could have hurt Jaejoong’s heart makes me so bad.. If Jessica was to just leave, it would be okay.. Sooman, just cut Jessica out

__

SNSD “Shining group?… There are members who have waited 7 years to be in this groupâ€

 

1. They kind of feel like they’re all girls who for 7 years couldn’t be placed in other groups so they’re left over…..

2. Well you can tell why they weren’t put into a group for 7 years

3. ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Out of the people posting negative comments, 90% are girls..

4. I won’t be able to remember all their names - -

5. This girl group is really a historical girl group in Korea already.. They haven’t even debuted yet but they have anticafes and there are so many antis…..

The reason why SNSD-like girlgroup will never happen again

this post has 83,826 views and 346 upvotes

 

1. SNSD is superior in numbers

2. Doing well changing concept

3. From large agency

4. All members have solid basic skills

 



-----------

 

 

[+151 -18] To be honest, Soshi is still the top of girlgroup. They have solid fandom too.

 

[+137 -18] Soshi still the top one. Last time, their Gaon album sales ranked on #1 and they become the only girlgroup on Golden Disk voting among boygroups. I dont think their fans left. They are popular anyway... Firstly, arent their recognition so high?ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹The next album will determine whether it have mass appeal or not to decide their future; going downfall or climb higher 

 

[+129 -24] I agree with the phrase 'Girlgroup like SNSD will never appear again'. How could a girlgroup like them can be born again? By the way, among this generation's girlgroup, they had the longest preparation time. All of them received very long training days of basic skills and countless amount of practice. Their group dance and harmony is what makes SNSD shines brighter.

 

[+41 -8] Is it because I'm EXO-L that I got angry when SM artists was insulted? You call SNSD as a has-been but is your favs can sell hundred thousand album copies? When people talk about 'the trend' it's just the group's glory days but the real 'trend' if your favs can overcome SNSD glory days. Soshi album sales still the top among girlgroups tho



 

 

[+36 -11] SNSD is the top of girlgroup. A wall you cant climb over.

 

[+32 -7] SNSD has pose that only SNSD can pull over. They dont use sexy concept or thick make-up but their pose is daebak..... Wearing the same clothes, dancing the same choreo, or singing the same song their feeling is different.

 

 

 

[+29 -8] Calling SNSD as girlgroup is to the point of uncomfortableness.SNSD even can't be compared against boygroups. That kind of girlgroup is impossible to re-appear

 

[+29 -6] Right now is SNSD, in the future is SNSD, forever SNSD! Guys, I'll always support you unconditionally, I love youㅠㅠ ♡ I'm anticipating 5th full album this year. I hope the album consists of masterpiece from b-type, tittle song, coupling song... so please comeback!! The pic is bling bling twinkle Seohyun !!!

 

 

 

[+27 -3] Including Jessica, their vocal line (Taeyeon Tiffany Jessica Seohyun Sunny) no need word to explain. Their dance line (Yoona sooyoung Yuri Hyoyeon) is also skillful. If I have to describe per member, Yuri improves at absorbing the choreo with her own ability, Sooyoung's singing improves a lot to the point of her releasing drama OST, isnt Hyoyeon vocal color very charming?  In Goodbye, Seohyun sung most of the lines. Most people know Yoona can't do anything but she can dance and her vocal color is pretty. In the past, .Taeyeon said that Yoona lacks confidence but in Tokyo Dome all Jessica part was covered by Yuri and Yoona. Especially in Kissing You then high note in ITNW or The Boys.   Listening to their b-type tracks, if they were asked to sing, they can do well. In Forever Tiffany even did the high noteã…  The vocal line also good ã…  They dont lack skill so please stop criticize them

 

[+24 -7] Honestly I'm not their fan but when I read post written by their fans, Soshi's remarkable records can't be compared with other girlgroup

 

[+23 -11] I know that Taeyeon receives a lot of hate but I still want to upload it...Our Taenggoo is singing well and full of energy! Let's do well in the future SNSD♡♡

 

 

 

[+23 -3] I'm a fan so I might be bias but looking at their fandom, this kind of girlgroup is not easy to see again. Eventho you compare their fandom with boygroups' their fandom still at the top. Moreover, their popularity overseas, award winning career, youtube views, etc is the best. Now they got so many hates but their record is unbeatable... However, I'm proud and feeling great being their fan.

 

[+21 -6] I have no interest in Soshi but everytime I see them they're just awesome. I dont there will be a girlgroup like SNSD in the future.

 

[+20 -4] By the way I have different reason as to why I think Sone is a great fandom. Dunno, but in Pann no matter how people insult Soshi, their fans didnt return the hates with curse words. 

 

[+19 -3] Eventho they are not the trend anymore, they still the top one. To be honest, for girlgroup on their 7th years? 8th years? with solid overseas fans+Korean fans is very amazing.

 

 

Lesson : don't underestimate and hate a group that obviously talented just because you don't want them to success, they could prove you wrong
