SNSD began to achieve widespread fame and appeal in 2009 after the release of their first mini-album and its leading single, "Gee". "Gee" has since gone on to become [[Signature Song|the group's most memorable and most lauded song]], holding the distinction of being the longest-running #1 ranked song on Music Bank, one of Korea's most popular music chart shows. It has also been hailed as the "K-Pop Song of The Decade" by Melon (a Korean music website and award-giving body).
The girls are especially beloved among their fans due to their [[
Discography:
Line 38:
* [[American Accents]] - Jessica and Tiffany were both born and raised in California and both have very clear Californian accents when speaking in English. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EahKgCOvSD0 Observe!]
* [[Animate Inanimate Object]] - The video for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mPqycQ0tQ Gee!] has them portray a display of clothing store mannequins that come to life after closing time to adore the store clerk from afar.
* [[Ascended Extra]] - Hyoyeon started out as a silhouette dancer for [[
* [[Asexuality]] - Seohyun prefers sweet potatoes and Keroro to male company.
** 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
* [[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 60:
** Their new sub-unit group. Taeyeon = Blonde. Tiffany = Redhead. Seohyun = Brunette/Black. [http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4otthFhIb1roznph.jpg Here].
* [[Breakout Character|Breakout Star]] - Yoona. She appeared in four dramas, and has won six awards (five from the same drama).
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Leader]] - Taeyeon. See the short girl acting like a [[Adorkable|total dork]] and [[Memetic Molester|perving out]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blcZi1W03Mc over her fellow members' butts]? She's the leader of the group and is regarded as not only the voice of SNSD, but having one of the best voices in their entire record label, if not [[K
* [[But Not Too Foreign]] - Jessica and Tiffany were born and raised in California.
* [[Cat Smile]] - [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SATdnpq_FVg/TV4l7PcbDVI/AAAAAAAABi0/ga36Q7zSoeg/s1600/snsd%2Bsunny%2Bjessica.jpg Sunny].
Line 114:
* [[New Sound Album]] - Their 2011 [[Self-Titled Album]] ([[Recycled Title|not to be confused]] with the 2007 release of the same name) turned out to be this. Aside from the songs being recorded in [[Japanese Pop Music|Japanese]], the album strays from the [[Lighter and Softer|bubblegum]] dance-pop style common in previous releases and instead, has a generally more pronounced electronic and [[Synth Pop]] sound.
* [[Not So Stoic]] - Ice Princess Jessica
* [[Piss-Take Rap]]: Opinions on Tiffany's rapping have varied since they started pushing her as a rapper after their Japan Tour ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNVWRl9PCDI here's a sample from her and Taeyeon's performance of Lady Marmalade]), and the effect sometimes ends up being [[Pretty Fly for
** Sooyoung's not too [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXcoIFaJOpk shabby] either.
* [[Pistol Pose]] / [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|SNSD Is About To Shoot You]] - There's a lot of these in the [http://seoulbeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/20101021_snsd-hoot2_seoulbeats.jpg promotional material for Hoot!]
Line 139:
* [[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:Girlschr(27) Generation (2011 album)|8 tracks on the album]] which weren't released as singles, only the Japanese version of Hoot! is a cover.
** [[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 [[
*** The recent Japanese cover for Run Devil Run completely ignores the creation and actions of the [[Evil Counterpart|Black SoShi]] as seen in videos for Oh! and the original Korean version of Run Devil Run, particularly because they hadn't released a Japanese cover to Oh! at that time.
** Run Devil Run, in turn, was taken from a [[Kesha]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBjETYX1awQ&feature=related demo that didn't make the cut], leading to the tune and the rights to it being sold to SM Entertainment.
Line 150:
** So does Tiffany.
* [[Van in Black]] - About 90% of the vans that the girls or any other celebrity that appears ride in is a black van.
* [[What Could Have Been]] - Prior to their debut, SNSD went through several line-up changes. SM planned to have 11 girls in the group, one of which was Soyeon of [[T-
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
* [[Who Wears Short Shorts?]] - SNSD wears short shorts. At least, since Gee came out, short shorts have been common in their costumes; of course, this is to show off their [[She's Got Legs|awesome legs]].
** Tiffany caught some flack for having her shorts be ''too'' [http://www.allkpop.com/2011/11/tiffany-of-snsds-white-shorts-hot-or-too-short short], although some considered it [[Fetish Fuel]].
