I know the Golden Disk Awards were a bit late, but this was a Feb 10 issue, and the article was probably written in Dec 09 (you know how it goes... Feb issues are released in Jan, March issues are released in Feb, and so on), so it didn't mention anything about Oh!
Girls' Generation

The name Girls' Generation, or usually shortened to SNSD (So Nyeo Shi Dae) is very familiar in the community of Korean music lovers. Since the 'Gee' mini album that was released January 2009, the single that has the same title as the album was also popular and climbed up to number one of the digital charts for several weeks. Thanks to this song, SNSD defeated Wonder Girls' Nobody with Gee hitting in Music Bank for nine consecutive weeks. Not only that, SNSD also defeated Jewelry's One More Time. After that, SNSD released a new single on the 22nd of June, 2009 titled "Sowoneul Marhaebwa (Genie) (Tell Me Your Wish)". In this mini album, there's a duet of Jessica and Onew, a member of SHINee.
The popularity of SNSD didn't stop there. It went up along with the winning in the Golden Disk Awards 2009. Like Super Junior (T/N: The previous article was about Super Junior), this girl group holds the chart with number one in Asian Top 50 Year End Chart for 2009 in Channel V - Thailand, and other charts.
Last year, in December, SNSD became the guest star in KBS Music Festival. Here, they showed off their dancing and singing skills. Besides SNSD, there are a lot of other celebrities, such as Lee Seunggi, Super Junior, 2PM, 2NE1, SHINee, KARA< Brown Eyed Girls, Son Dambi, Kim Gun Woo, and K.Will.
In the show, there was an incident where Taeyeon touched Nicole (KARA)'s butt (T/N: ByunTaeng!! XD). It was bad luck, since a few cameras caught that act. But then there was a clarification that they were just playing around, and there was no abusing (T/N: ????). Ahh, such a unique way to play around.
Trivia
- SNSD released their concert book filled up with their photos on their First Asian Tour Concert
- In the beginning of this 2010, Girls' Generation won the award of Female Group Award in the 16th Republic of Korea Entertainment Arts Awards.

SNSD's popularity is rising in Indonesia!

Ahh.. I hate to admit it, but Indonesian magazines keep making lots of mistakes in writing Korean articles.. *sigh* They should really do a lot more researching XP
For Indonesians out there, go get the magazine! And snatch the SNSD poster inside

I wish the magazine features more SNSD... I love it that they're talking about Super Junior, SHINee and f(x), but I want my fave girl group to be in more XD
I guess Indonesian magazines will be featuring SNSD more... Hmm.. I'll translate more ^^
Edit: For Indonesian S♥NEs, (Sorry if I'm violating the rules in any way. I'm not trying to promote, but since people are asking...)
You can find the magazine in Toko Buku Gramedia, which is spread all over Indonesia XD
Asian Crush is a magazine by the KOMPAS/GRAMEDIA team, so, yeah, it's worth it to read (since My Idol only talks about the boy bands, and not SoShi)
And, yes, it's a real pull out poster

And, no, it's not the Gee poster. It's an older photo, back in 2008? 2007? But it's still ♥ and it's in my room kekeke
It's Rp. 30 000,- by the way tongue.gif
