[OSEN=Reporter Lee Jungah] The activity of girl groups will continue without stopping this year.
Last year, the the girl group activity was busier than ever. Wondergirls was in the center of it all, and the representative girl group SNSD led the fever this year.
Last year, Wondergirls showed to be most active, creating a girl-group wave with their song “Nobody.” Wondergirls made everybody point their fingers and do the gun dance to the song, and gathered a lot of momentum to hold their first concert. On Mnet chart, the album reached the top just two days after it went on sale, and it also placed first for 5 weeks.
Likewise, SNSD continued on this fever for girl groups this year. SNSD was noticeably popular not only in the music world, but they also appeared on shows and CF’s very frequently because of their song, “Gee”. It deserved to be called the “Gee” wave. SNSD placed 1st for 7 weeks on the same chart that Wondergirls placed 1st for 5 weeks. They had the honor of having first place for the longest amount of time.
If Wondergirls and SNSD captured music fans by showing their youthfulness, liveliness, and cuteness, then this summer, the girl group different than all the others will come out to continue with the wave.
These girls, 2NE1, were called “the Girl Big Bang” and became popular even before they debuted. 2NE1 sang the song “Lollipop” with the Big Bang members before they formally debuted, creating publicity, and are currently active promoting their debut song, “Fire.” Unlike previous girl groups, they have hip hop roots with their powerful performances on stage are their strong points.
SNSD, Wondergirls, and 2NE1 who is continuing with the girl group streak, are not only going to energize the pop world, but they are making us expectant for more diverse girl groups.

2ne1 member sandara park was popular in the philippines but later on her popularity was gone that’s why she went home to her home town south korea.

afaik it’s for MNet charts… SNSD “only” got 1st place for 7 weeks in MNet, but it’s still the longest winning record for MNet though… and their 9 weeks of winning was in KBS Music Bank.

Lol maria calm down! 2NE1 probaly didn’t show up due to the music program cancellations due to the previous president’s death.
I actually like 2NE1 alot.. sandara is awesome! And CL omg, she is tooo awesome. Minzi is okay, she doe NOT look 15. And bom has nice vocals, i can’t believe she’s 25! I can tell she has ALOT of make up but at first i thought SHE was minzy the 15 years old, because she’s still got some baby fat.
anyways, i hope SNSD comes back sooooooooooooooon! i want this to be year of snsd 🙂 lets hope they really use that 2009 09 09 concept lol!
