Having debuted in Japan with “Genie” and reviving the Hallyu Wave with “Gee“, SNSD has been gaining quite the popularity in the land of the red sun.

Proof?

Shoujo Jidai is the ONLY Korean group invited to perform at the prestigious 2010 Fuji TV FNS Music Festival! The festival is one of the major Japanese year-end music shows that features prominent artists all over the country. And by country, we mean Japan and usually ONLY Japan, but this year is a bit different.

On November 15, Fuji released through their official website the list of performers who will be performing this year. “少女時代 (SNSD)” was verified as one of the artists, a huge honor for a group that debuted in Japan only months ago.

SNSD will perform alongside many popular artists including: Arashi, V6, Kinki Kids, Ken Hirai, EXILE, AKB48, SMAP, TUBE, Mai Kuraki, JUJU, Kubota Toshinobu, and Noriyuki Takihara.

The FNS Music Festival will be held on December 4th, will be aired live for 4 hours starting 7.00pm (Japan’s local time). SNSDKorean will definitely be covering the event, so remember to check back soon!

How SNSD Became the Group of the Generation

Sisa Journal recently published a huge feature on SNSD, describing their progression from humble beginnings to their overwhelming global success. Take a deep breath because this is gonna be a long read.

Although “Into the New World” was a powerful debut, no one predicted SNSD to reach the “world-star” status it currently holds. At the time, the girls were merely a relief for the male audience tired of the boy bands’ dominance of the music market. Right away, the girls faced a tremendous challenge: in September of 2007, the Wonder Girls released their hit single, “Tell Me“.

Stumbled upon one of CodeMonmon’s fanmade video and just had to share it.

So what happens to Kim Choding when she strikes, specifically during Music Bank’s K-Chart event? …see for yourself!

(She secretly strikes Jessica from behind, Jessica turns around and attacks the innocent Sooyoung behind her (thinking Sooyoung striked her), Yuri snitches on Kim Choding to Jessica, Kim Choding turns to strike Yuri for snitching, Jessica turns and attacks Kim Choding for tricking her, and Yuri attacks Kim Choding for striking her…..Kim Choding ends up getting gangbanged by YulSic LOL while Seohyun, Tiffany, and Taeyeon witness the whole thing and laugh, but Sunny is on the side in her own world.)

Poor Hyoyeon~
