As far as legacy acts go, Girls’ Generation is undoubtedly one. In 2007, when K-pop was largely a boys’ playground, in marched this defiant nonet — Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yuna, Seohyun, and former member Jessica — who not only redefined the game for women in K-pop but also what girl group music could be.
Girls’ Generation’s legacy may have been built on charts, numbers, sold-out tours, and swept award shows, but it’s sustained through the generations of fans who grew — and in some cases, grew up — alongside them. As the group marked its 15th anniversary on August 5, NYLON reached out to Sones and industry insiders who’ve followed the group throughout the years.
