After watching several of the Girl’s Generation Videos, you might be wondering the names of that particular girl that has become your favorite. So I decided to make a follow-up post with a picture gallery of each members with their name on it.
I have also placed a Picture Gallery page for the group. Mouse-over on the Gallery link above and click on SNSD: Girl’s Generation to view all.

A month or two ago, I feature a website named Asian Poses. On that post, I also included a music video of a girl group who performed a lot of the poses featured in the site.
Well, now I’m addicted to that particular girl group.
Their band name is SNSD or So Nyuh Shi Dae or Girl’s Generation is a Korean girl group composed of 9 female ages between 19-20. They were formed back in 2007 and was meant to be the ultimate Asian girl group.
While SNSD is popular in Korea (having a single on the number one slot for 9 week), the group has not attained international stardom, yet
No matter, I still love their group and it has become the National Anthem in our apartment.
When you Google their group, you might see some SNSD hate site. This is a good sign. This means that the group is gaining popularity in an alarming rate that the fanboy/fangirls of opposing groups would feel insecured.
Anyway, I end this post with one of their recent video. If you want to watch Gee again, just click on the Vodpod playlist to your right.
