SNSD

Girls Generation (Hangul: 소녀시대; Hanja: 少女時代) is a South Korean nine-member girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2007. Its members include (in order of official announcement) Yoona, Tiffany, Yuri, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, Seohyun, Taeyeon (the leader), Jessica, and Sunny. International Girls’ Generation fans usually refer to the group as SNSD, the acronym of the group’s Korean name So Nyuh Shi Dae. Many of the members had already pursued an entertainment career before the group’s debut — through acting, DJ-ing, and modeling. Their official fanclub is known as S♡NE (소원), named after a song from their first album.

On July 19, 2007, Girls Generation had their first performance on M.NET’S M!Countdown. Although this performance was never broadcast on television, many videos were shot by fans and uploaded onto the internet. The song the girls performed was called “다시 만난 세계 (Into the New World)”, which became their first single.

On August 2, 2007, the single “다시 만난 세계 (Into the New World)” was released. This single included two other songs, “Beginning” and “Perfect For You (소원)”, later renamed as Honey for their self-titled debut album “Girls Generation”. An instrumental of “Into the New World” is also included.

Also in April 2008, registration for the official fanclub of Girls Generation was opened. The fanclub currently has 230,000+ members, making it the largest official fanclub for a female artist in South Korea. -Wikipedia
