In 2010 alone, the group sold more than 11,730,000 albums and singles collectively. The group's immense popularity in their native South Korea has earned them titles "The Nation's Singers" and "The Nation's Girl Group". The Sisa Journal named the group as the most influential entertainers for the years 2011 and 2012, making them the first female idol group in history to make the list. They have also been listed as #1 on the Top Female Singer's list for 4 consecutive years in a row (sans 2nd half of 2011 at #2) on the Leespiar Popularity Survey in Korea. Asia Today placed the group at forty-four on the 50 Korean Power Leaders list in 2011. Forbes also revealed the group were most powerful entertainers in South Korea for the year of 2011.

The group's debut Japanese album, Girls' Generation, released in June 2011, is currently the highest selling album in Japan by a Korean group in Oricon history. It was certified "Million" by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, which made them the second Korean artist to earn such an achievement in Japan since label mate BoA's "Best of Soul" in 2005. The group followed up their success in Japan with their second album, Girls' Generation II ~Girls & Peace~.
They have expanded their reach in the Korean industry through their first sub-unit, Girls' Generation-TTS (known simply as "TaeTiSeo"), composed of members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun.

One day, without so much as a word of explanation, he breaks up with her and all but disappears. Then Gae-in is invited to the wedding of her good friend and roommate Kim In-hee (Wang Ji-hye) and is horrified to discover that the husband-to-be in none other than Chang-ryul; the two had been cheating on her for some time. When she finally comes face-to-face with them, the wedding ceremony breaks out into utter chaos. Gae-in is heartbroken, and determined to never take a chance on a man again.
Meanwhile, to keep his small firm afloat, architect Jeon Jin-ho (Lee Min-ho) is desperately trying to win a project bid for the Dam Art Center against Future Construction, the prestigious company owned and operated by Chang-ryul's father (Ahn Suk-hwan). In order to win the favor of the Dam Art Center director, and win the moneymaking bid, Jin-ho has to find a way to dig up more information about the art center director’s favorite building:Sanggojae, which has never even once been opened to the public,.
Knowing that Gae-in would never let a man (let alone a stranger) be her new roommate, the straitlaced (and straight) Jin-ho pretends to be gay to get access to the house — and all the information that he's sure is hidden within. At the same time, the DAC director (Ryoo Seung-ryong), who actually is gay, finds himself attracted to Jin-ho. Once they start living together, Jin-ho gradually embarks on a mission to make over the inveterate tomboy/slob, but in all the mayhem of the makeover and hiding his true orientation, the unexpected happens and the perfectionist architect begins to fall in love with Gae-in.

Seperti yang kita tahu K-POP, Drama Korea semua yang berhubungan dengan Korea semua orang saat ini tahu dari anak-anak sampe orang dewasa sebagian besar tentang Korea pasti tahu, apalagi anak remajanya, wah itu no commentlah.

K-POP atau kepanjangan dari Korea Pop sekarang ini sangat booming, jadi ga usah heran kalau tiket konser suju bulan Mei kemaren cepat sold out.

Sejalan dengan K-POP drama korea juga membooming lho. Menurut pendapat pribadi gw drama korea sangat berbeda dengan sinetron asal negeri kita sendiri, yang ceritanya ga banyak variasi dan episodenya terus diperpanjang karena ratingnya bagus, jadi membosankan dan ceritanya jadi kemana-mana alurnya. Menurut saya kunci suksesnya drama korea booming di dunia itu karena ceritanya bervariasi dan episode per drama tidak diperpanjang mendadak hanya karena ratingnya bagus. Dalam satu drama korea juga dibuat dengan sungguh-sungguh, terkadang untuk satu drama korea khusus dibikin lagu-lagu untuk menjadi soundtrack drama tersebut. Jadi ga sedikit drama korea yang di tayangkan di stasiun TV dalam negeri kita ini. Bahkan stasiun TV swasta berlomba-lomba untuk menayangkan drama korea karena begitu banyak peminat yang tertarik, salah satunya stasiun TV swasta INDOSIAR dan ANTV. INDOSIAR bisa menayangkan 3 kali jam tayang berturut-turut drama korea dalam sehari, sedangkan ANTV 2 kali jam tayang drama korea dalam sehari yaitu pagi dan malam.

Sebenarnya sih gw bukan fans mutlak Korea banget yang selalu ngikutin semua konser dan lain-lain sebagainya, gw cuma suka drama koreanya aja, karena berhubung hoby gw salah satunya adalah menonton dan cerita drama korea bagus-bagus, gw mulai sering mengikuti setiap drama korea yg tayang di stasiun TV swasta yang nayangin drama korea. Dan dari drama korea itu gw mulai tertarik sama lagu-lagu yang menjadi soundtrack drama itu sendiri.
