Line 42:
** Except for those times she's shipped with [[Super Junior|Kyuhyun]].
*** Or that time when she was in a virtual marriage with Yonghwa - for real.
* [[Bad Girl Song]] - Well [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|duh]], ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gQs7damTIE Bad Girl]''.
* [[Badass Adorable]] - Despite being regarded as the member with the most aegyo (cuteness), Sunny has caught chickens and snakes with her bare hands.
** She also moved to Kuwait a year before the Gulf War began, and as such is afraid of fireworks and other such noises because they remind her of gunshots. Not that you'd notice, what with her fearlessly bungee jumping and all.
Line 65:
* [[Combat Stilettos]] - Almost all of their choreography is done in high heels. Oh! is the only notable exception.
* [[Confession Cam]] - Implemented in ''Girls Go To School'' and ''Hello Baby'', where it was frequented by Yoona and Yuri in the latter.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]] - When Yuri first gets the "Worst Mom" title in ''Hello Baby'', her punishment? A water-rafting ride.
* [[Costume Porn]]: Their wear some incredible themed outfits in many of their videos. Mod/60's style in the video for ''Hoot'', or the Yellow and Black Taxi short skirts and vests in ''Mr Taxi'', the bad girl outfits in ''Run Devil Run'', the intro for ''The Boys'', motorcycle gang clothing in ''Bad Girl'', the Naval and Army style uniforms, they have a lot and they are very detailed, distinctive but still manage to tie into the overall theme.
* [[The Cutie]] - As stated earlier, Sunny. Notable in that she's one of the elder members, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfuQqpMeND8&feature=grec_index frequently gets called out on her overly cutesy behavior by the younger members].
Line 82:
* [[Girl Group]] - One of the most popular Korean examples.
** Possibly the best example recently, considering their explosion in popularity all over the world.
* [[Good
* [[Gratuitous English]] - Most of their album-leading singles have at least a couple of English words peppered here and there; sometimes it works, and [[You No Take Candle|sometimes it doesn't]]. Perhaps the worst offender would have to be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGP1cUk7cRs Genie], with the line "I'm Genie for your wish/dream/world" being repeated in the chorus. This was unfortunately still not corrected in the Japanese [[Translated Cover Version]].
** Mostly averted with their newest single, The Boys. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pA_Tou-DPI Korean version] has the typical English sprinkled in with the girls rapping. Then there's an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0C03XBns9c English version]. The English itself is quite impressive.
Line 103:
* [[It's a Small World After All]] - Jessica and Tiffany were born in the same hospital in San Francisco in 1989.
* [[Japanese Pop Music]] - The group broke into the J-Pop market sometime in 2010, starting with the [[Translated Cover Version|Japanese covers]] of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rEM6UzLYkE Genie] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fckzBPaoX8U Gee]. This was followed by [[B-Side|double A-Side]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN5v61brFKk Mr. Taxi]/[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmByhQ3IkPw Run Devil Run] and their [[Recycled Title|2011]] [[Self-Titled Album]].
* [[Legally Blonde the Musical]] - Jessica starred in the first Korean version in 2009 as Elle Woods.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]] - Their single, Chocolate Love, as seen being performed in the above photo, is a promotion for the LG Cyon Chocolate Phone. There's also their other CFs for water coolers, the LG Cookie and various other items.
** The single [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSQwCK_8VSM Visual Dreams] was made in promotion of Intel.
Line 109:
* [[Most Common Superpower]] - [http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a237/Silead/tumblr_lx7eqxX4901qeauhuo1_500.jpg Sunny.] [http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a237/Silead/tumblr_lvh4rtph8F1qitdj1o1_1280.jpg Jessica isn't too shabby, either.]
** It should be noted, though, that she was wearing a push-up bra. [http://www.photo4asian.com/img/Korean-Female/SNSD-Jessica-Jung/full/6a00e398a4a3ca00030109d0ffa04a000f.jpg This] is a more [http://sookyeong.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/jjj.jpg?w=510&h=335 realistic] look.
* [[Nepotism]] - Sunny is the niece of Lee Sooman (founder of SM Entertainment).
** What makes her fit into this trope perfectly is that she trained for only a few months before the formation of the group, compared to the other 8 members who trained for years.
*** Sunny has actually been in the entertainment industry LONGER than the other members. She was a trainee with two other agencies prior to joining SM Entertainment and Girls Generation.
Line 137:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall Dark And Misonyeo]] - Yuri and Sooyoung.
* [[Teen Idol|Teen Idols]]
* [[Translated Cover Version]] - Their forays into the J-Pop market were initially composed of these, with their first two singles being covers of Genie and Gee. Partially averted in their recent release Mr. Taxi/Run Devil Run, with Mr. Taxi being an original song. Further averted in their [[Recycled Title|2011]] [[Self-Titled Album]]; of the [[wikipedia:
** [[Adaptation Expansion]] - The video for the Genie Japanese cover changes the girls from featuring in [[Fetish Fuel]]-inducing scenes whilst [[Painting the Fourth Wall|interacting with the camera]] to actual genies who, after some healthy [[Fan Service]] grant wishes to the lucky guy who finds them.
** [[Adaptation Distillation]] - The video for Gee Japanese cover has the girls simply portray clothing store attendants and Minho from [[SHINee]] (who plays the clerk in the original) as a customer instead of the [[Animate Inanimate Object]] example above.
