How did Girls’ Generation capture the world?
Cable channel SBS E!TV “StarQ10″ looked into the charms of Girls’ Generation, who has been leading the Hallyu wave in various countries around the world.
With many samchon fans in Korea, Girls’ Generation has gained the nickname of “president of the army”. They have also been called the “pretty leg group” in Japan, becoming known as the leaders of the Hallyu wave.
Also, when plans were revealed of an American/Canadian Girls’ Generation fanclub called Soshified (Editor’s Note: For whatever reason, the Korean media generally never seems to acknowledge Soshified as being an international fansite) organizing a field trip to Korea for 100 of its members, it showed just how popular the group actually is.
During this broadcast, along with showing proof of Girls’ Generation’s worldwide popularity, they will also be looking into 6 keywords behind “SM idol groups drawing a new Hallyu map with K-POP”.

Another netizen stated, “It was so hectic that I thought Hanyang University was going to collapse. It was as though when the girls came out, all the students had an out of body experience. Also, when SNSD sang ‘Gee’ I was reminded of the military because of all the guys singing along to it.”
Other netizens commented, “I thought I was at some photography convention. Everyone here brought very high end cameras and camcorders. So much so that I was too embarrassed to film with my cell phone.” “It was a good thing no one got hurt despite the large mass of people.” “Even though the other singers were good, SNSD was the winner and simply stood out above the rest.”
