"They are the nation's girl group."
A Global Phenomenon
With their debut in 2007, Girls' Generation was formed, in order to focus on female groups in the Korean Music Industry. They deserve the title for the nation's girl group, for they are credited for continuously being an influence on the nation, and on people.
Following the success of "Gee" in 2009, the group's popularity, (along with the K-Pop genre in general) escalated on an international scale. With this worldwide recognition comes the growth of their fanbase, which only led to their continued popularity and success. This is showcased through the various awards and achievements received throughout their career, as they are now recognised as one of the biggest names in the Korean Music Industry.
Activities as a group aren't the only aspect of their success. Whether it's through acting, being endorsers, or participating in other forms of media, each of the members have proven to be successful in their own endeavours, and are recognised for their individuality, in addition to what they bring to the group.

The Influence
In 2016, Girls' Generation was identified as the most legendary and influential female idol group throughout K-Pop history, (chosen by a panel of 30 experts in the Korean Music Industry).
With the 'modern' K-Pop era developed in the late 90s, Girls' Generation is known as being apart of the second generation of K-Pop, (2001 - 2008). Since their debut, 150+ girl groups have made their own debuts, as the group continues to be an inspiration on other groups, with the members becoming role models to look up to.
With many ups and downs throughout the years, many people speculate the end of an era. However, Girls' Generation longevity has proven these judgements wrong, for they are known as the nation's girl group, a legacy and a phenomenon that will continue to be an influence throughout time.
