Telle me what ya think about this layout! It's safe to say I can see why they're sooo popular, and now I've got another amazing group to go back and listen/watch all of their other stuff!!

ITNW is huge, literally every girl group has to learn it during their trainee years, Koreans sing it during protests and parades. Fun fact: Forever 1’s bridgehas ITNW in it
Omg which part?
@@mohamadhidayat645 From 15:02 to about 15:10
@@Teaspooncat thanks!
@@mohamadhidayat645 np (:
don't forget it's pretty much the second SK national anthem
Singing the chorus in unison, with harmonies, is very much an SNSD signature that they kept throughout their whole career
Not to be that guy but ITNW's chorus is sang by Jessica and Taeyeon only with their harmonies as well. Idk about Forever1 yet though. I recommend watching the vocal analysis videos ot "divadream", they get these correctly.
Thanks for that! I'm a new Sone, and that video was really fascinating.
My impression is that the sound of the group singing the choruses all together is an SNSD signature, whether it was actually the whole group, just the vocal line, or just TaengSic. The production, even in ITNW, is intended to give the effect that it's the whole group singing together.
Not just the chorus, but the typical SNSD pre-chorus is two members singing lines in harmony.
@@user-bx8sj6qm3w thats true.
But in live stages Tiff-Seo-Sun-Yul sings the chorus for the last chorus esp when taeyeon and jessica hitting those highnotes and adlibs.
True. I think the only time they deviated from it are from their 2015 and 2017 releases, but other than that, its a group chorus
SNSD is like THE group. They literally ushered us in to a Girls' Generation in kpop who was then a boy group dominated industry. For reference, the next bigger girl group debuted only 2 years after them in 2009 which was 2ne1. Safe to say that without SNSD, most of the newer girl groups wouldn't exist if they hadn't started it all. You can see that TWICE has been inspired by the cute concepts that SNSD has done throughout the years. Regarding the unison singing in choruses, it's definitely an SNSD signature. Showcasing individual voices in the verses but ultimately coming as one in the choruses which in my opinion is the point of being in a group. Hahaha. Will definitely be down to see more SNSD and Taeyeon solo music reactions!
I love that! It's so cool finally seeing such an influential group and I love that 15 years later they have a comeback that's just amazing! I do like the unison chorus, cuz I usually don't see it too much in current kpop so it's refreshing! And yes! I'm definitely gonna be reacting to a lot of SNSD and some more Taeyeon solos!
You are KILLING me with your cluelessness!! 🤣 That's okay...let me try and help you.
1)There is a common expression: "If you don't know SNSD, you don't know K-Pop".
2) ITNW has become (since 2016) an international anthem for protesters against institutional corruption and demonstrators for social justce and human rights. (used in Korea, Thailand, and even in the US). In the 2019 Dream Concert ( which has a 20 year history), instead of playing "Arirang" as usual as the closing music when all the performers come out on stage for the finale, they played instead ITNW...an acknowledgement of SNSD's status and relevance to the industry.
3) Over the 10 years before SNSD, 21 girl groups debuted. Most were 3 or 4 members, a couple had 5 members. One third of those lasted 2 years ( or less!), 1/3rd made it to four or five years and then disbanded and 3 or 4 who remained were only a 2-3 years 'old' in 2006. In the industry and among K-Netizens, Girl Groups in general were an uncertain investment, and boy groups dominated the scene. Thus the idea of a 9-member girl group ( when even 4 or 5-member groups struggled to stay together) was met with skepticism and even downright dismissal in K-Pop forums at the time. BUT SNSD wasn't like other groups, and not just because they had 9 members.
Taeyeon, as you are aware, is a naturally gifted singer (though you still have no idea how good she is...she's popularly called "KING Taeyeon" because of her vocal skills), but SNSD didn't have just one great vocalist, they had FOUR MORE ( Jessica, Tiffany, Seohyun and Sunny...though Sunny was underutilized), while the rest, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Hyoyoen ('Hyo" is also their main rapper) are all GOOD vocalists. There is literally no genre they can't handle well, and their total group harmonies are perhaps their signature sound, better than any other group ( I think only Mamamoo is their equal in that regard). So unlike other groups, they didn't just have a 'main singer' , they had a "Vocal Line". And they didn't just have a 'Main Dancer (Hyoyeon), they had a great 'Dance Line' ( Hyoeon , Yuri, Sooyoung and Yoona) ...and of course the Vocal Line had to become GOOD dancers as a result.
ITNW was an unusual debut piece with the high energy and complex choreography making the vocals very challenging while the bright delivery contrasted with the lyrics that speak of sadness and hard times. It was only moderately successful at the time...it's eventual status would rise along with SNSD, over time.
11 months after their debut, In July 2008, SNSD, still 'rookies' of course, performed at the mult-group/multi-agency Dream Concert, where they experienced what became known as "The Black Ocean". It was an unprecedented 'boycott' of their performance by 50,000 K-pop fans who were jealous of the attention their favorite male groups gave to SNSD, and SNSD's casual friendliness with those groups. Outrageous accusations of assault and even rape (!) were made in public on social media by these anti-fans against SNSD's fans, but thorough investigations by news media found that such claims were complete bullshit.
That event by rights should have destroyed the group, and SM's investment in them, .. even as SNSD had engendered such hostility from established fandoms, they meanwhile attracted a bigger and more important fan-base...average Koreans. Even while working on a new album , SNSD featured in a 'reality' series Factory Girl, where they 'interned' as editors for Korean Elle magazine. They also appeared on a ton of celebrity-variety shows such as Star Golden Bell, where they proved themselves to be not only charming, but genuinely funny, endearing them to the wider TV audiences and providing a measurable increase in viewer rating, which also attracted the attention of companies and advertisers who began using them for commercials which increased their exposure further ( and which also produced increased sales for those companies). So while they were for a while the most hated group in K-Pop, Korea's general public embraced them.
The extent of that growing general popularity was made evident in spectacular fashion when the released "Gee' in 2009. The entire country went nuts over the song and MV. Gee set new records for ANY k-pop group in earning 9 consecutive #1 wins on Music Bank, 3 on Inkigayo and furthermore it scored #2 on the Japanese Oricon Chart, #1 on the RIAJ Digital Chart and ended up selling over 1 million copies in Japan. It was also a hit across Asia and made its way into many other foreign charts.
From this point on SNSD began to dominate K-Pop ( and its foreign markets). Their 2010 comeback single "Oh!" hit number 1 on multiple digital charts just 10 MINUTES after its release while the album of the same name realized pre-release orders of 150,000. The single Run Devil Run ( from the same Oh! album) sold 2 million copies in Korea and 100,000 in Japan.
ANYWHOO.... SNSD demolished the dominance of boy-groups in Korea and became the biggest foreign group in japan ( the world's 2nd biggest music market). They won the highest Korean and Asian Music Awards ( some of them multiple times) . They were the first girl group to have 5x 100 million You Tube MV views. Their 2011 live comeback with 'Genie' was, and still is, THE MOST WATCHED live event in Korean TV history. They sold out concert arenas in minutes and several times had to add extra concert days WHILE ON TOUR, due to demand. They are up there with Spice Girls and Destiny's Child with the most attended, most profitable tours for a girl group in the world. In 2013 their international fans helped them win CZcams's MV of the Year Award, beating Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and other western stars. They were exclusively hosted by Korea's First lady at the Blue House (Korea's 'White House'). The were the first entertainers/artists to have their own postage stamps. they were made cultural ambassadors by the Korean government. Their discography became the training curriculum for all other girl groups, regardless of agency. Other agencies began adjusting their acts schedules to avoid competing with SNSD 'comebacks' Their sub-unit, TaeTi Seo ( Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun) were and still are, the most commercially successful and most awarded sub-unit in K-Pop history. Even the highest rated entertainment shows would see an increase in viewership when SNSD appeared on them. Tiffany, Seohyun Jessica and Sunny have all had lead roles in stage musicals, to critical acclaim and box-office success. Yuri, Yoona, Sooyoung and Seohyun have also had great commercial and critical success as actors in TV series dramas and movies, and have won major acting awards...some of these while still performing as SNSD.
ITNW has been called "Korea's 2nd National Anthem". They've been called "The President of the Army"...by the Korean Army! They are "The Nation's Girl Group" , "The Queen's of K-Pop" , "The Mother of Girl Groups" and more recently, and quite correctly, "The Legendary SNSD" and "The Idols' Idols".
Oh and as good as they are in their MVS...they are on a whole other level when performing live in concert.
There's more, actually, but I think that's enough for now. Again, like they say, if you don't know SNSD, you don't know K-Pop"
I hope this helps. Seriously check them out. Take the journey, You won't be disappointed, Good luck
Great job 👍
Well done🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Some new info for a new Sone like me as well
@@Teaspooncat welcome to the fandom
@@GalaxySone010 Thanks😊 It's been soon five years but I'm still a newbie and it was my 1st comeback with them
Couldn't say it better. Great job !!
Fun fact : The individual scenes are actually descriptions of each member's individual endeavours.
The idol of Idols. They set the standard in Kpop. They pave way where in those times that CZcams is not a thing.
Girls Generation they are the Nation Girl Group.
The Variety Show Queens.
The Original Savage Queens
SNSD is very good at harmonizing. You can check "Lion Heart" there harmonization give goosebumps
I love a good harmony, I'll write that down! I'm almost a little sad that I didn't listen to kpop back in 07 and get to watch them go through their career!
Yes into the new world is iconic because alot of idols in started that song to become an idol and it's still used today, damn alot of idols look up to them because they are the first truly big successful girl group. Especially 4th gen groups like itzy to others love them especially Taeyeon. Even blackpink are fans to bts to twice. Did you know twice was inspire by them. I've been a fan since they debut in 2007. I'm an sm fan since 1999
That's awesome! Twice was my ultimate fav group so now it just makes me want to listen/watch everything GG has ever done!
@@TysonPellegrini you should. Especially their harmony. Watch All My Love is For You Japanese 3rd concert, they presented in pink dress
Just know that all the current and young groups that we are currently getting and seeing, SNSD/Girls Generation are the reason they even had that dream to begin with. For the most part at least. Early kpop was being dominated by boy groups during the era of their debut, but they were the first girl group to achieve big success and stand on their own against the boy groups. The reason fancams exist is because it started with them, photocards in albums didn't become a frequent thing until after they released their "oh!" album including the photocards. They not only paved the way for girl groups but they also paved the way for kpop as a whole. I love them so much and this comeback was everything. Not to mention that Into the New World became an anthem for the lgbtq+ community in South Korea, they just are so important
I love that! It's cool to learn about the photocards thing too, cuz that is such a staple now in kpop, people go wild for them! I also love seeing so many people praise a group for so many right things! I can't wait to listen/watch more!!
These girls quite literally paved the way for girl groups in K-pop! They deserve to be respected for the work they put in for so many years! They made it big when social media and CZcams weren’t a thing! Literal legends!
Their group name shows their legacy. Before them, girl groups weren't taken seriously by public and fans. There were only a few of them as well. It was all boygroups dominations back then. Then Girls Generation debuted, exploded and now countless girl groups are in the industry and thriving. Their success was not define by how high they charted, how many albums they sold, how big the fandom or records they broke, but how they set the standard as role models and inspired people. They are KPOP idols' idols. Individually or together, they are household names in South Korea. They're labeled honourably as the Nation's girl group and the Nation's Singers. I can go on and on but then it'll be a book. I've been a SONE (their fan) since 2011 and no girl group today ever sway me from them. They are that amazing. Love them forever !
I do love the history lesson I've been getting, and how much the fans love them!
They sing the chorus as a whole cause they can and their from SM the house of VOCALS!!!
The heart is the fandom logo. The slow motion is a throwback to their song The Boys in which they worked with Avatar’s director James Cameron and his team. Honesty so many Easter eggs and nods here and there through the MV relating to them and their career the last 15 years. Like each solo shot of the members is about their solo ventures outside of the group. Sets are nod back to some of their old songs, Korean and Japanese . Forever1 and Into The New World are written by the same person, Kenzie.
Obviously being a newbie I miss out on a lot of that but it's so cool to hear, and then I'll try and go back and check out other MVs and hopefully make the connection. I'm definitely writing down The Boys cuz that's cool that they worked with James Cameron!!
SONE (Sowon) is their fandom. ITNW is an anthem for a SOO many things: queer anthem, used in political protests and parades. Many music companies and girl group survival shows use this song as a standard for evaluation. I've been a fan of theirs since 2009 and what initially set them apart from the rest of the girl groups for me was Taeyeon's vocals. Then I realized all of them could sing, not just 1 or 2 like many kpop groups back then. If a gun was at my head, I'd still say Taeyeon is my fave, but each member really has their own unique charms and talents. Like some have commented, in Forever 1 the concept shows the girls on each of their journeys during the last 5 years, but they are still 1. SNSD/Girls Generation may not have the high views/record breaking global popularity of a few kpop groups today, but they have helped paved the road those artists now walk on. Would love to see you react to more video's of them. Enough of my rant, just found your channel today, great content and DAMN you're gorgeous. 😉
Thanks!! 😊It's so cool "discovering" a group so well loved and knowing that I'll easily be a fan super fast! I love the importance of groups/singers and how they shape the landscape of the industry! As a hardcore Insomnia I'm definitely more inclined to the music/singing than the views! I'm 100% gonna be reacting to more GG in the future too, so lemme know you're favourite track!
I interpreted the award as SNSD giving the award to Sone but also their success together!
“Want to be with you always,
I become stronger when I think of you,
There’s no one like you, no one like you,
Swear we’ll be together forever.
As we lived through this world,
I said to you,
I will love you again in my next life,
Cause we are the one”
Ahh that makes sense, an award for both makes sense especially with those lyrics!
18:12 thats a reference to all the trophies they won together as a group .. it's their success
actually it reference to their fans , despite their solo ways they still wait for them and love them so it is like a trophy for them ,, and if you see the mv every one resemble their solo career . we have dj and actress in movie or drama or musical and singer and finally sunny who appears in multiple channels and at the end they gather together.
The original Nation’s Girl Group is back!!!! I am so happy to see them together. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 They are really, really, really back. This is my first comeback since stanning them. 💖🎉🎉🎉
That's awesome! I'm super happy for all the fans, cuz this is such an amazing comeback! I can only hope that Dreamcatcher will still be making bangers 15 years from now!!
@@TysonPellegrini Thank you for reacting. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
You know what else makes them a legendary group, check their live performances back then. With minimum to no make up, and no auto tune or dub they flawlessly performed a perfect debut performance 🎭
they are the group of the nation, they represent their nation, they are the most legendary kpop girl group in history.
I'm glad to have finally found them, and they already have another fan incoming!
Fun fact - Into the New World and Forever 1 were composed by the same person. The girls purposefully asked her to write something for them for this comeback.
I just saw that, but I didn't know that they asked her to write it, that's even cooler!!

You have no idea what you’ve missed with them. Like, I can’t put it into words.
You brought up TWICE, and they are great, but GG? They are the original Nation’s Girl Group, and they just reminded us of that fact.
Haha it's true! I've only really listened to kpop for a little over a year so I still have SO MUCH to learn and to listen, but it's amazing to get to learn of this iconic group!
@@TysonPellegrini I’ve been watching GG’s show SoshiTamTam, and they are insanely funny. They are trying all types of reality TV stuff they never got to do before, like community service for elderly people at a farm and a round table like I Live Alone. It’s absolute GOLD.
@@kristi4113 I'm gonna try and watch some of those. All of a sudden I've started watching so many YT vids of behind the scenes or competitions or variety shows and they're so cool!!
@@TysonPellegrini They really are. I’m trying to find their whole performance at SM TOWN concert, I’d have given my left arm to be there!
The rapper with the DJ scene is the main rapper and main dancer of Girls' Generation! she's a soloist too and she goes by DJ HYO! you should totally check out her solo stuff which are very different from what the group usually put out as music! I recommend her songs Sober, DESSERT, Second, and DEEP!
That's awesome, thanks! When I see "very different" it gets me very intrigued, so I wrote those songs down, and will definitely check em out, maybe even react to them!
Yes! Another fan of our Hyoyeon! Her solo songs are bops!
@@TysonPellegrini yes please you should totally react to her! I'd like to see your reaction to her stuff~ also to add something else, she's the pink haired girl in GOT the beat! just to make you even more excited for to check her out!
@@k.iskander.k7182 I actually watched GOT the beat again a few days ago just to watch for her. The pink hair threw me off but I forgot I really liked her in that! Might have to react to her sooner than later!
@@TysonPellegrini I'm really glad you liked her and I can't wait for your reaction to her solo music! as I recommended before Sober, Dessert, Deep and Second!
You said that the music itself for Into the New World is still very SM- the song was composed by Kenzie, who is still there at SM, still writing for groups like EXO, NCT, Red Velvet, aespa, and even non SM acts like Nayeon’s Pop. Hell, she was the composer behind Forever 1!
And you said the song felt like it was from the 90s- it premiered in 2007, but the song was actually written around the year 2000-2002 or so, so even at the time it wasn’t really super modern sounding, which adds to its timelessness.
Also another member you’ve seen before, if you checked out Got the Beat, is the main dancer/rapper Hyoyeon, or Hyo for short. She was the pink haired rapper who did the dance break with boa and Seulgi in Step Back, the pop and lock dancer in the dance break in Into the New World, and the one with the DJ set who did the little rap part in Forever 1.
That's so awesome that Kenzie is still writing for SM and others! I've recently been trying to get into the producers and writers of kpop so I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for her!
They were iconic because they were good in many fields: singing, dancing, great in variety shows... Everyone of them has a distinctive personality and were not afraid to show it. My bias singing, Taeyeon, of course, she is simply great. Dancing: Yuri, Hyoyeon, Yoona, Sooyoung. Variety: Sooyoung, Yoona, Sunny, Hyoyeon, Yuri.
I love this part sung by Taeyeon: czcams.com/video/ziqEq8tdf6c/video.html impressive
Now in variety still entertaining, they didn't care about their image at all when doing these shows: czcams.com/video/OZhGAYY-CdM/video.html
You missed out Tiffany lol
@@Tyr0nxd Well, not exactly. I was talking about who I found is better in each field. Tiffany is a good singer, along with Sunny, Seohyun and, back in the day Jessica, but in that field I consider Taeyeon the best. She is a correct dancer and a very cute, positive and caring woman, but not the best in dancing or variety. All around a very good professional. I still remember when she said that the best invention for her was the eyelash curler 😂
"it's like very anthemic" yess, it is almost close to south korea's national anthem because this song is used in protests and different movements. that's how significant this song is. most successful debut song by a girl group ever.
I'm trying to think of anything in Western music that can relate but I'm at a loss, and I think that makes ITNW that much cooler and important. I still have so much to learn but I'm glad to have started!
@@TysonPellegrini closest song that we can compare it to maybe is "We Are The World" by western standards. Into The New World is literally THAT song that most girl group trainees had to learn in order to debut. Evidently on audition programs/survival shows in Korea they have that song as a challenge to gauge the vocal and dancing abilities of the trainees. Pretty f'in iconic, that's Girls' Generation. You can name quite a number of Kpop groups may it be a girl or boy group and there will always be that one member who is a genuine fan. 💗
Not knowing snsd is like not knowing kpop 👸. The OG Queens 👸. No exaggeration but FACT. 💯
I've been learning a lot lol And I'm a quick study so I'll be in the know goin forward!
I just noticed that ITNW and Forever 1 is similar in terms of storyline. They all have different lives and they have come together (to make me happy) you know these girls have different careers now and not just in the 'Idol' stage¿ there are actresses, DJ, mc/host, theater actress, they do YT too, and they came together for their 15th anniv w/c is WILD✊😌 and I'm so grateful they are able to do so and thankful for the diff. companies that allowed this to happen... Ima just go cry in the corner🤧 I LOVE THEM SM 💖👑
Also it's still funny to me how their last comeback before this was Holiday Night and like cameback 5 years later😂 but of course it's okay because they did their other personal dreams..
In the forever 1 video all the little separate parts they have represent their careers and what they've achieved on their own, like taeyeon is a famous soloist, yoona is on a film set, seohyun is on a musical stage, Tiffany is on a plane back and forth from America to Korea etc. It's really beautiful. The shot with the award probably represents their many many awards and achievements as a group - they have been dubbed countless times as the nation's girl group.
ITNW is like the past version of Into the unknown .
Forever1 is the completion of ITNW
That despite the new beginnings and worlds they're partaking/pursuing, they are still together, the very same when they started .
Not so sure about that "they are still together, the very same when they started ." part.
@@daydream10.18 I think the are referencing the fact that they are still together, just like when they started. I believe this also references SONE's as well. We are all still together just like in the beginning, we will be Forever 1.
SM groups ALWAYS sing together in the chorus. That is a staple for them. Bias is Tiffany. But Taeyeon is like my ult female soloist if that makes sense haha
I'm a huge SNSD fan and I can't help but see all the Easter eggs of all their old songs in their new song ❤️❤️❤️👌
I can't wait to watch all the other MVs and then start putting things together!
Thats one of the reasons why I've generally appreciated SM's groups more so than other companies. They make it commonplace for most if not all of their groups sing the chorus (at least of their title track) in unison. It just makes the group feel more together plus its pretty common place for line distributions to be quite bad in kpop with some idols getting near nothing while the main vocal will get half the song, so singing the chorus together actually gives these idols with weaker vocals time to sing, they're not just dancers. Plus there's something so special about hearing 8 voices sing together. Yoona, one of the members of GG, spoke about how she was one of the last to record one of the songs on the new album and hearing everyone's voices together made her emotional as it had been so long.
I agree! Some current kpop songs I've seen/heard some idols get a lot more lines, so when seeing the whole group sing the chorus it's nice and definitely makes it feel more of a "group"!
Girls' Generation (SNSD) is the legendary girl group. They are now the textbook of all idol girl groups of KPop.
Hyoyeon is also in GOT The Beat, not just Taeyeon. She had bright pink hair then.
I personally loved Forever 1 since first listen. I cried a lot during the 1st day of listening. I have been a Sone for four and a half years so this was my 1st cb with them (Holiday and All Night were in 2017 so I didn't quite make it to that). Just like its predecessor, Forever 1 album is full of amazing songs, a wide variety of genres. It's an album of the year material definitely. I recommend checking it out even on your own if you prefer not to do a reaction.
My bias line is Yuri, Sunny and Sooyoung. Sunny was my 1st bias. All of them really got to shine in the album so I'm extra happy about this comeback. They are also being appreciated a lot in Soshi's variety content which I looove love love
It's been a while since I saw GOT The Beat, so I gotta go back and see Hyoyeon! I love seeing all the fans so happy with this comeback and how much it means to everyone! I'm definitely a fan and going to be reacting to A LOT of SNSD and whatever solo stuff they all do!!
Girls Generation is the mainstream. No matter how kpop songs have evolved from 1-2 dancestep to girl crush to dark concept today, they chose to comeback with this concept - a bloomed ITNW. The real Kpop sound. No big drops nor complicated dance steps. Its just - them.
that's why i fell in love with them in 2010, i loved their songs, their singing and dancing, but their personalities kept me invested ! Like you said they are just them.
Yesss! More Girls' Generation please!
100% I'm gonna try and react to everything!
Girls generation is the reason I'm a k-pop fan they are my first k-pop group ever
I really dont comment on youtube but i feel like this
time i have to! Girls Generation is known as SNSD.
They are the best 2nd generation girl group who
debuted on August 5, 2007. They released nearly 49
singles and albums in and out of country ' Into The
New World"', 'Gee', 'Genie' and so on. Every song and
choreography they released was a MEGA-HIT! The
first first female girl group to receive the Golden Disc
Award for 3 years in a row. Grand Award in Seoul
Music Awards for 2 years in a row. They received over
100 awards in and out of the country and also the first
K-Pop idol to win 100 awards in music shows. They're
living legend with unprecedented records. They made
group choreography, uncle fans and color skinny jeans
trendy back in the time. Going beyond singing to
acting and even musicals. This is their 15th
anniversary! We're witnessing something very special
here!! Forever 1💓💓💓
I recommend you watch all of SNSD's MVs cuz they used it in Forever 1.
The personal scene in Forever 1 that's exactly their job in real life.
Tiffany back to America that's why she's on the plane.
The trophy scene is a part of The boys MV, you can understand that they become invidual successful woman, now they back to the group as 1 and received Sone's trophy. (S1, their fandom name).
I will 100% be reacting to ALL SNSD and all of their solo stuff. I love "discovering" a group so well loved and that have such inviting fans!!
The Greatest Girl Group of All Time
Now you have to fill in the incredible gaps
If you do go on there Journey you end
up with no Bias as they are all Forever 1
Nice Reaction....
But that’s what I really appreciate about SNSD, in all their songs, they always sing the chorus together with is beautiful.
loved your reaction!! i’ve been a fan of GG since 2012 when their subunit debut, TTS. Went through the removal of one member in 2014, and now happy for their resilient reunion in 2022 🤩 been a fan for 10 years now and i will always be a SONE 💗
Thanks!! It's awesome being new and seeing so many fans love them and are gentle with my lack of knowledge lol I'm a quick study so I'm sure I'll be a SONE very fast!!
Legend 😍🥳 always proud of them
I just love it when they sing in harmony every. time.
There’s so many references in the music video and even in the lyrics to past songs
15:27 As someone who followed them since 2009, this makes me reminisce the times they always get the daesang awards in every year end festival.
The Queen’s of kpop❤🥰
Thank you for reacting this 😊😊
SNSD is the gold standard for female groups. They explored every genre, Vocal Queens. SNSD was top of charts for six years plus before Twice ever debuted. This album is Classic!!! GG ForEva💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
all i know. almost every SM group, all the member sing the chorus
I just love the fact that even though the Girls' Generation members and their fans are already doing their own thing, they have always and they will always come back as one.

#GirlsGeneration #소녀시대 #SNSD #FOREVER1
It is a really cool message! Like no matter where everyone is in the world idols or fans, they'll all come back together! I'm gonna try my best and be a new SONE :)
@@TysonPellegrini It's never been easy for the fans and most especially, for them but whether they're still going to produce music as a group or not, it's fine. I'm just so happy as a SONE that they've reached this milestone and they've got to do what they want to do individually. And hey, it's not too late to be a SONE. Welcome to the family! 🥰💕💗💖✨
taeyeon is insanely versatile and i hope you check out more of her stuff soon, especially spark, four seasons and fine!
Writing those songs to be on the lookout for! Not sure where to start with her, might to back to her first solo song and go from there!
@@TysonPellegrini that would be great too! 🫶🏻
15 yrs. later and they are looking crazy amazing and still slaying. Their comeback song is so fitting. FOREVER 1. GIRL'S GENERATION is FOREVER 1. ❤❤❤👏👏👏
You should listen to their ballads especially from their Japanese discography. They are the best. No one else does it like they do.
i will never get tired of saying how FREAKING GOOD into the new world is, like i know ppl know snsd and itnw are iconic af but the song itself SCRUMPTIOUS UGH I LOVE IT WORLD ANTHEM
It really is. Although still being a newbie., whenever that comes on in my playlist it's just so great, and NEVER skipped lol
ITNW was written way back in 2000, a full seven years before SNSD debuted, but the writer never found the right artist to sing it. SM had a few girl groups before SNSD but none of them seemed to be fitting to carry the song.
Itnw is about following your dreams/ hope and working towards what you want.. the ballad version released in 2016 is about hope within sadness and letting go/ moving on and healing ...i highly reccomend loking for it and you will see the masterpiece it is
They are a legend and K-pop milestone
Into The New World is LEGENDARY SONG. This song still "text book of gg" for every trainee until now. Kpop trainee in every agency always learn and mastering this dance and singing in their trainee period.
Listen to Taeyeon's killing voice and you be amaze on how she sing live
The award may mean something else, but the fact that they're still the only girl group in this male dominated industry (kpop) that won a daesang (grand award) in 2010 at a time when boy groups were even more dominant than now, truly legendary!
Its their fans, basically you are my greatest acomplishment .. i love all of you , in this life/ world and the next one (reference to their life as girls and now women and their SNSD career as well as their solo careers)
The award part this them give us sone a award for always being with them and supporting them has a group and in their solo careers. Sone + SNSDForever1
I'm getting so nostalgic watching you react to GG, I wish I could watch their videos and listen to their songs for the first time again, because stumbling down this rabbit hole (Run Devil Run was my first GG song and first kpop song) as weird as it sounds got me through some depressed times as a teenager. Music has the power to unite us all, regardless of language.
I love hearing that, and I know I'm going to be reacting to GG for a long time, I wanna react to it all. I always love seeing other people's experience with music. I too, was not in the best place a while ago and slowly started to listen to more kpop and just fell in love with all of the different kinds of music that are in that genre.
Forever 1 music video and song is amazing! 💕The outfits are also great, I love the similarities with each set of the outfits with small differences, but still they match so well! This comeback is truly emotional for me, because they are my first kpop group I listened to in 2009, the first kpop group I ult and the first kpop album I bought in 2011!! Happy 15th Anniversary SNSD!!
I’m so proud to be SONE , 15 years is more than half of my life but growing up with Girls’ genneration is one of the best thing happen to me.
I love that! I love that the fans are so happy with this comeback and I'm ready to join the fandom as much as I can!!
this is the best debut in kpop history period :)
Into the new world. It is timeless, i still get chills from it.
It's funny cuz I usually put newly reacted to songs on a playlist, then listen randomly. Whenever ITNW comes on I almost have to stop what I'm doing and just listen. I'm starting to understand the power of this song!
This is what I love about SM groups. Members sing the chorus part and their harmonization. Superb!
Loved them for 15 yrs :’)
my bias Sooyoung and Yoona 😍
Two fantastic songs, and sooo many good songs in between. You can pick any song at random, and it’s probably something iconic that everyone knows, lol.
Singing together for the chorus was standard during the 2nd generation, and the groups that are still active usually still do it. Into the New World especially has really thick harmonies in the chorus, so you need everyone’s voices. 😄
It was a really cool experience seeing the 2 songs 15 years apart! I've got a few songs written down that I want to check out next of theirs, but I'll eventually react/listen to everything!!
I just realized that each member does one ad lib in the back half of the chorus. They don't skip anyone! And I love how they sampled ITNW.
Well, yes ITNW is basically the second anthem in Korea, and many GG's songs are using for trainees artists. The fan name is SONE (so one as pronounce it) I don't remember well but it's like "wish" in hangul, it borns from one of their super hit "Tell me your wish" album.
In INTW, their try to explain that you can choice whatever path you want to follow (you can watch in the MV, they try to achieve their job dreams). In Forever 1, you can watch their success career as soloist (Taeyeon in a great singer; Tiffany is a famous international artist (she is in a plane); Sunny is famous host in different variety shows and also a Radio host (you watch the TVs with her on them); Hyoyeon is a soloist too and also a DJ; Yuri, Sooyoung and Yoona are famous models and actresses (you can watch them models on red carpets and premiers) and Seohyun is also a actress but her main success is in theaters (you can watch her in a theatre role). There are many easter eggs in the Forever 1 MV but yes, it's easy to watch them if you are a SONE hehehe like many project covers from their solo careers, choreographies from different songs, and in the bridge their used the ITNW chord.
My ultimate bias in KPOP is part of SNSD (Girls' Generation) is Hyoyeon (the Dancing Queen) She has a great discography too. She was in Girls on Top project too.
I checked out Girls On Top again just for sure. The pink hair threw me off lol.
@@TysonPellegrini that's HyoYeon...but she is not good as rapper and dancer, also she sings very well, and as I mentioned before she is a DJ.
Please more SNSD reaction, this group is freaking popular and have amazing vocal, also if you have a chance really need to check out more about Taeyeon
SNSD fandom is called Sone, pronounced SO-won. It means "wish".
When I listen to into the new world, to me the meaning behind the song is they’re singing this song to their younger self to never give up and meet them when they’re older and see the results of not giving up
Every member singing the chorus is an SM thing
The fans are called SONE as stated in the comment somewhere below here. I am glad that ITNW is getting recognized. But "Gee" was the first big hit the girls had. My bias is TaeYeon. I have enjoyed their music for almost the full fifteen years.
That's awesome! Taeyeon is for sure my bias too! Gee was fun, and I really want to get back to reacting to their other songs!
The LEGENDS
My bias is Taeyeon 💗
Watch more of Girls' Generation, you'll surely like them as a group. Thanks for your honest and nice reaction towards their debut song and 15th year song (which by the way happened only after after 5 years). They've been on a hiatus after their 10th anniversary with 3 members not signing on SM anymore which triggered news like disbandment. But, look, they showed how much they love and want to keep GG's name and their fans - they're back as a full group! 💗
I was bamboozled because they were "separated" in ITNW, and they're highlighting they're different careers in Forever 1. Full circle lol
a lot of groups from sm usually have their members singing the chorus all together... that's what i love from sm
there are never really have the official position for a rapper in snsd, as long as you can rap and stays on beat you could be a rapper. take tiffany for example, she's the lead vocalist but we often see her rapping
As many have already commented, ITNW has become an anthem for so many people, groups, and the world over! GG set the standard for girl groups. GG is the idol group for today's idols. Each member has been involved in their own solo projects since they announced their hiatus 5 years ago. FOREVER1 is really a precious gift to Sones from our girls. The song and MV both have easter eggs from ITNW in the bridge, similar lyrics throughout from past title tracks, similar scenes from past music videos, etc. Thank you for reacting to their debut and latest release. I hope you jump down the GG rabbit hole and enjoy more content from the past 15 years! Side note since you asked... I actually have 2 biases, Tiffany and Hyoyeon, cause in the 10+ years of loving this group I still can't choose just one.
I'm for sure going to be reacting to more SNSD and solo stuff from the girls, and of course hopefully learning more and not being such a noob lol Bias' are a tough thing, it's so hard to choose! I think mine always changes here or there with different groups and different comebacks
INTW is like Kpop anthem, Girl Group text book
Bias is Tayeon and/or Tiffany. Depends on the time of day.
The fandom name is SOne (pronounced So Won)
Yeah you need to do a deep dive and react to more because they are so versatile.
lol I'm already trying to plan my next reactions to some SNSD stuff!
Thank you for react to snsd. I'm sone since 2009. My bias is seohyun but i love all snsd member🤍
Finally they are comeback after 5 years focus on their solo activities.
Taeyeon : Solo singer
Hyoyeon : DJ and solo singer
Sunny : variety show queen
Tiffany : solo singer active in US, musical actress
Yuri, sooyoung, yoona & seohyun : Actress 🤍
The best group! OMG! Legendary
I love em already!
A pretty good debut he says, the best ever more like it.
This is the biggest debut that has happened in kpop history, ITNW is an anthem in Korea and all ggs learns and knows the dance
I definitely recommend watching their early live stages of Into the New World because back then, most everyone sang live on music shows with minimal backtracking. You can really hear how stable their vocals and harmonization are while executing and synchronizing this dance. So impressive! They are just babies full of hopes and dreams with no idea how iconic they'd become. Edit to add: You also get to see one of the best parts of the choreo when Taeyeon hits a high note and then skips backwards to get into position while everyone else is transitioning behind her.
And then, you should watch the ballad version (Tokyo Dome and/or Phantasia) because it marks a significant shift in the group. These performances were during a difficult time and a couple years before their 10th anniversary, so the future of the group was up in the air.
Lastly, you should watch their most recent performance at their 15th anniversary fan meeting (Long Lasting Love). They hadn't performed the original version with the dance in a long time because they did the ballad version in the later years. Maybe like 8 years since the last time. It's a come full circle moment. The vibe of each one is very different and the meaning of it to the girls and the fans will become very clear with this bigger picture. If you do decide to look it up, there are only far away fancams on CZcams so far, but Twitter has the version that was on livestream so you can see their faces. You can just search snsd into the new world on Twitter and it should show up!
And the fandom name is SONE (pronounced so'won -like in wonton, not like 'i won the game') It means wish and it's derived from their song Genie (Tell Me Your Wish), another legendary song.
Thanks for watching the girls. It's so great to see new people discovering them!
Thanks so much for this! Makes me even more excited to check out Genie which I think is next!
Princess before, Queens now. Nation's Girl Group Forever!
FOREVER 1 is the new chapter of Into the new world.
ITNW is the textbook song all trainees are expected to master! THAT is how ICONIC it is!
Oh! Another fun time capsule video like this would be BoA, aka "The Queen of K-Pop." She also took part in SM's super girl group GOT the Beat earlier this year along with Taeyeon and had her 22nd (!!) debut anniversary this month after debuting all the way back in 2000 with ID; Peace B. She was SM's first female soloist and genuinely huge act. She debuted at 13! Her success really shaped what SM would become and K-Pop's expansion into other countries. And a fun fact... one of the SNSD members (Hyoyeon, the main dancer), actually did shadow dancing for her MAMA 2005 performance (Over the Top). SM did a whole special rollout for her with Better for her 20th anniversary. It's definitely worth checking out!
If you like doing these time capsule ones... another huge 2nd Gen group called T-ara also made a comeback this year for a 13th year anniversary. Their debut song was the number one song in Korea in 2010 (Bo Peep Bo Peep) and their comeback this year was All Kill and Tiki Taka.
I really do like this idea, especially coming from a newbie, I love learning about iconic groups and just diving into their discography, so I'm 100% writing this down and will try to react soon! I think the next one of a group that I haven't listened to at all is BlackPink, I only know 1 song, so I'm gonna do their debut and their new comeback!
The MV actually shows what they are doing at the moment. Like being an actress, singer, dj and so on
Girls Generation introduced me to KPop World , i was so shocked that why they can dance so synchronized , why they all hv pretty 🦵🏻🤣, they have a wide range of diversity in their songs. nowadays you can barely see all members can sing the chorus
4:09 SNSD member have different vocal tone, but when they sing together they become one. SNSD Unison technique is great.
Yes SNSD and Sone logo is 💗 fandom color is Pink Rose Pastel.
Hyoyeon and Yoona are the rap line, I think. "I GOT A BOY" features a good back and forth moment for both of them. Hyoyeon/HYO is the main one, though.
