Guess what ? Looks like the influence of the girls just doesn’t stop with us fans.
Galaxy, one of the top fashion brands in South Korea, conducted a recent survey among men in their 40s (with a fair degree of success in their chosen career paths) to determine the top leaders among the current girl groups now currently present in the music scene.
As expected, our angelic 9 topped the poll at a whopping 62.7 %, far eclipsing their nearest competitors [2NE1 , who came in 2nd with 13.3%, followed by Kara (10.8%), Brown Eyed Girls (6%), After School and Secret (both with 2.4%).]
Looks like 2nd generation girl groups (like SNSD) are doing pretty well in following in the footsteps of their 1st generation unnies Fin.K.L and SES. Considering the fact that most of these successful career men have never really listened to a lot of these girl groups before, it’s a real achievement indeed for our 9 to be able to impress even these peripheral “fans”.
(Personally though, I think that they’re All “closet” SONES ;). What do you guys/gals think 😀 ?!!)

SNSD Korean 
Snsd is the best!
Well as a 50 year old professional I can quite understand the girls ranking with this demographic. I am proud be be a Samchon SNSD Sone (is that the right word?).
I guess SNSD is a brand that sells well, hence the leader in girl groups’ generation (they are the Girls’ Generation, afterall :D)
Btw, I didn’t realise Kenneth has become one of the writers… Is this your first post? (Pardon I haven’t been checking this site or rather, went online, for a very very long time)
Anyways, Congratulations, Kenneth ! 😀

@ superdork1222
Thanks for the good wishes :D.
No, in fact, I already have a few posts “under my belt” so to speak ;). Cheers !
That’s why our girls are the creme de la creme among the girl groups! =D
62.7% huh! Hahaha, almost dominating the whole poll chart..SNSD is undeniably strong!
*SNSD DAEBAK*! And also thanks to Kenneth who written this. =)
^ TRUE though
WOOO~ SME Legacy ftw!! History will always remember the days that Soshi roamed the lands and spread the word of everything that is angelic and pure!!
LOL~~!! DAEBAK
snsd jjang!
their percentage have a big gap wif the other groups…
but others is so good! XD
I will always support you!
SNSD, fighting! ^^
“I think that they’re All “closet” SONES.”
Well, not all, from what I can tell since my community comes from a diverse range of intriguing backgrounds; people from all walks of life. So while some may have their own opinions and preferences for different things and are a tad bit disdainful when it comes to K-Pop, at least SNSD has us SONES with them.
Inclusive of a judicious few who may not appreciate K-Pop and SNSD to the extent that we do, but hold K-Pop as an acceptable medium of music as reasonable human beings with a sense of equity.
62.7%?! WOW, our ladies DOMINATED that survey for sure, (no surprise though :D)
If anything, this goes to show how powerful, successful, recognized, and influential our ladies have become. The fact that they can be identified and are thought of as the most powerful girl group in Korea by people who don’t even know much about them or listen to their songs says A LOT…A LOT.
PROUD TO BE A SONE!!
SOSHI FIGHTING!!!
AGREED WITH ALEX! More than a half voters voted for our girls! Yay SNSD! Yay Sones! Yay snsdkorean!~
Surely it’s ‘unnies’ not ‘noonas’?
yup… must be an error. it should be unnies :))
Also, SNSD ftw!!!! yeah… :3 SNSD fighting!!!
@ Charlie
Yes, you are right ;). My “bad” :D.
Back, lol.
I think it should come as no surprise that our beloved angels are currently raking in the awards, dominating surveys and music charts left and right.
I’m gonna leave a ‘lil quote before I get back to my work.
Haha… don’t get too complacent and show others some (equal) appreciation and love too.
‘Kay, I think that’s about it. *Shrugs shoulders*
well the poll survey on 40-and so on
the girls top and they were known by the elders
