We are not “Super Girls”, we are the “Times of Girls!”

0716-times-of-girls.jpg
SM just released the name of their new girl-group and it’s Times of Girls (소녀시대). What? After all that marketing, they couldn’t come up with a better name? If they couldn’t top Super Girls, they should’ve just stayed with the fan made name rather than calling these girls Times of Girls. The Korean version, soo-nyu-she-dae is a hard name to pronounce for foreigners and the English translation sounds horrible!

Anyways, it turns out that there are 9 girls in this gigantic girl group and supposedly, they are prodigies who are fluent in English, Chinese, Japanese and some. They are going to debut in August and after their album promotion, they will branch out to different activities, including acting, MC, DJ, modeling, etc. Now, who’s counting down to Times of Girls’ debut?

Since we are all having a hard time distinguishing the nonuplets, here are their names, starting from the left:
Top row: Sunny, YuRi, Tiffany, Soo Young, Seo Hyun
Middle row: Tae Yeon, YoonA, Hyo Yeon
Front row: Jessica

Pop in:
Here comes the Super Girls!
Battle of the “Big Groups”

    These girls all look exactly the same with the exception of maybe one of them… how are fans going to tell them apart? i bet they’r all really talented but seriously sm needs to stop using cookie cutters to form their bands, whatever happened to the cute round faces… they all have extremely loooong faces.. and the all white outfits was that really necessary, they already look like twins no need to dress them up that way too >.<

    apparently i saw photos of Hyo Yeon..like self cam ones…and no offence..but she looks nothing like the one in the picture above…sooo likely that the pic at the top has been photoshopped..cuz in real life…her skin is..quite bad…sunny looks pretty though…and hmm i dunno abt them fluent in those languages…cant imagine so..and cant imagine them debuting successfully either.

    that has got to be the worst name for a band in korean entertainment history! hahaha. how sad.

    The music companies just keep pumping out android clones

    i seem to like only YoonA & Yuri..
    maybe because i`m quite familiar with YoonA & i like Yuri becasue she`s pretty..

    wait isn`t Soo Young DJing with sungmin in chunji radio??

    i just hope they will succeed..

    hate the name sounds really wierd

    ill say good luck to the group. its just im not used to large singing groups. I probably would have been ok if there were fewer in the group.

  10. 10 blubu July 29, 2007 at 1:02 am

    they look freakishly similar. >.<
    i bet that after a few months, they’ll shed their angelic looks for more sex appeal

    i dunno, just don’t like the first impression, but still..
    good luck!

    i’m very shock n i thought these girls would turn out fine. But i can’t believe the wanna copy SJ.

    actually, i kinda like this group’s name. it’s cool.
    besides, you ppl shouldn’t doubt their ability in communicating in English. I have heard Tiffany speaking English and trust me, her English is really of high standard.
    But i have to agree that most SM artists who are said to be able to speak fluently in English or Chinese is atually not true at all…their chinese and english really sucks!!!
    I think many ppl hate jessica is bcuz there’s a rumour that she used to date Jae Joong. Is tht true? Well, i don’t really care. Even though i am a fan of Jae Joong, i still like Jessica. She’s got the looks and talents!!
    so just give them a chance.
    Ppl bashed them juz bcuz they got the looks, the talent in singing and dancing and they got the HOTTEST guys.

    nice picture….everyone looks nice. :) i don’t really kno anything about this band lol.

  14. 14 RoZze October 24, 2007 at 11:27 pm

    I really like Tae Yeon n Tiffany , they r so sweet. Is that true that jessica reject jaejoong?? How can?? I hate her if that was true. IS she niece of Soman LEe too?? She have a bad rumor…but i think yoonA doesn’t like KYuhyun….ok sucess for them…

    everyone is talking about how the pictures are photoshopped, OF COURSE THEY ARE!!!!! THE PHOTOGRAPHERS HAVE TO ENHANCE THE PICTURES. and people are talking about how bad their skin is, NOBODY’S SKIN IS PERFECT! i actually like them. unlike the wonder girls…. sorry to wonder girls fans, but honestly aside from sunye, do any of them have talent? sure some of them can dance… and just cuz they went out with dbsk and suju doesn’t mean u have to hate them. have u ever thought that ANTI-FANS made those photos? it happens! honestly, if u were them, u would go out with really hot guys too. dont criticize them because they’re a big group. it’s SM’s choice. i guess they thought that a girl version of super junior would be a good idea. but dont bash them cuz ur jealous of them!

    i like their name, it’s like they’re representing girls to have strength. wonder girls= wonderful girls??? kara’s ok….. but the name makes it sound like 1 person.

    and…… tiffany and jessica are fluent in english, they lived in america…. JESSICA WAS BORN THERE and lived there be4 she auditioned. taeyeon, hyoyeon, and seohyun are fluent in chinese, they visited there, and sooyoung is fluent in japanese… she was in a japanese group. if u want proof go watch it on youtube.

  17. 17 CHOCOPIE November 24, 2007 at 2:27 pm

    just because you guys hear a rumour, doesnt mean u should believe it. there is no proof that jessica or sunny is lee soo man’s niece. or that jessica dated donghae, or rejected jaejoong.
