‘The Guardian’ hails Girls’ Generation as the next K-Pop act to follow in Psy’s footsteps
British newspaper ‘The Guardian‘ recently published a feature onGirls’ Generationand predicted that the “Korea pop princesses” will follow inPsy‘s steps as the next K-pop act to hit it big in the international market.
“It now seems certain that he has blazed a trail. Girls’ Generation , a nine-member Korean girl group who had racked up millions of sales throughout east Asia long before Psy made ‘air’ horseriding socially acceptable, are poised to release their first album recorded entirely in English. Tentatively due for release next year byLady Gaga‘s label,Interscope, the album will mark the group’s first serious effort to court English-speaking music fans. The women, all aged between 21 and 23, are the obvious choice to take up Psy’s mantle in the UK, where artists who sell millions of albums in Korea and Japan are known only to a small number of K-pop devotees.”
Girls’ Generation previously appeared on American television with performances onCBS‘ ‘The David Letterman Show‘,ABC‘s ‘Live With Kelly‘, andNBC‘s ‘Extra TV‘ during their promotions for “The Boys“.
