Girls’
Generation debuted with their single “Into The New World” in 2007 and became a
national phenomenon as the group achieved great success and gained popularity
with all of their released songs. In 2009 and 2010, Girls’ Generation received
the Grand Prize at the Golden Disk Awards, the most prestigious awards ceremony
in the Korean music scene often referred to as the “Korean Grammy Awards”. The
group also gained the highest recognition by taking the “Singer of the Year”
award for 2 consecutive years. Girls’ Generation has demonstrated their growing
international presence and global appeal by appearing in numerous commercials
and advertisements in various Asian countries. Girls’ Generation began a foray
into the Japanese music scene in August 2010 and topped various Japanese music
charts. After their huge success in Japan, the group made the cover of Japanese
economic weekly “Nikkei Business” magazine. By making comparisons between
Girls’ Generation and Korean global companies, such as Samsung and Hyundai, the
magazine drew a parallel between the secret of the band’s success and Korea’s
growing business acumen in general. Girls’ Generation will release their new
single ‘The Boys’ online worldwide. The song was composed and arranged by Teddy
Riley, who is most prominently known for his work with the late Michael
Jackson. The new album containing the single ‘The Boys’ will be released
worldwide by Universal Music Group and is expected to generate great response
from music fans across the globe. In the U.S., Girls’ Generation will release a
Maxi Single in December through Interscope Records, a record label owned by
Universal Music Group and home to artists such as Lady Gaga, Eminem, and The
Black Eyed Peas.
