On October 15th, “Nightline”, an American nightly news program on the channel ABC, ran a story highlighting K-Pop, from PSY’s “Gangnam Style” to Girls’ Generation, calling them “The all girl pop craze sweeping the globe.”
Scenes of fans waving pink hearts greeting Girls’ Generation in New York last October for “SMTOWN LIVE in NEW YORK” were shown as “Nightline” begins to explain K-Pop beyond the success of “Gangnam Style”. “Nightline”‘s piece explores the K-Pop industry through SM Entertainment, and even went into the company’s offices for a behind-the-scenes look at the training process. The reporter for “Nightline” singled out Girls’ Generation, saying, “The hottest act, a nine member girl group called Girls’ Generation.”
Clips from other SM artists’ music videos from Super Junior, f(x), and EXO were shown, as well as Girls’ Generation’s music videos including “Genie”, “Run Devil Run”, “Gee”, and “The Boys”, where the reporter referenced Girls’ Generation’s chart topping success.
Check out the report from “Nightline” below.

I literally screamed when I read the title of the article. I am so thankful to ABC for finally doing a respectable piece on K-Pop. That’s amazing they were the first cameras who were allowed to go in there. This isn’t just great publicity for SNSD, but for K-Pop in general. The one time I don’t watch Nightline, this comes on lol
Girls’ Generation is absolutely the hottest act in K-Pop and they are indeed sweeping the whole entire globe. I am so proud of the nine beautiful angels. I definitely can’t wait for the girls’ big American debut next year and no matter the ranking of their English album and single, they will definitely make a very huge impact in the United States. And I really mean it. Girls’ Generation is absolutely making a whole lotta noise in the US and I know that they will definitely keep doing that for years to come. America is totally ready for Girls’ Generation and the haters better not try to rain on the girls’ parade. They will be here to stay whether they like it or not.
GIRLS’ GENERATION FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel so proud to be fart of this fandom hahahahahahaha I love SNSD and SM Town gooooooo!

forever a sone <3
and…The hottest – Dorkinest – Cutest – Most Want to be sister/lover – Most Want to live with – Most want to have meals with – goes to… SNSD!! ^^
As soon as I saw this article, I was freaking out!!! Omg, I’m so proud of my girls!!! I can’t wait for the girls English album. :) World domination…it’s only a matter of time before the girls take over! <3 My 9 Angels are really breaking down barriers! (A few months ago I saw the girls music video Genie on tv in Sears (a USA store) near my house which was quite exciting! I just wanted to share that.)
Girls Generation just gets better and better
I’m glad they mentioned them after Psy!!!
Hwaiting!!!~
As a foreign fan…as an American fan…I always get excited when I see the girls becoming more integrated in my society! I have been an avid follower of the girls even when they have been so far outside my society…to have these girls work so hard as to break down that invisible wall between my world and theirs…nothing would make me more proud!!! :-)
I predicted this would happen. As Gangnam Style’s popularity begins to drop off, the media would start look for the next big artist from Korea, which is of course is Girls’ Generation.
This is actually a very good marketing tool for SM. It’s going to be easier for the girls to break into the US music industry because of this. The LA Times did an article on 2NE1, which will be great for them as well. I’m happy that they did their research on them.
Keep support for SNSD
We love you :** SNSD the Best
