Many K-Pop girl groups have recently exuded strong girl-crush imagery with their debuts and comebacks. Girls’ Generation took a risk by going against the grain of what has recently been trending in K-Pop.
Even though 15 years have passed, Girls’ Generation has proven that they still exude the same innocent and light-hearted vibe that they started with, which has made fans happy!
8 women in their early-mid 30's, coming back after half a decade with a cute concept about long lasting friendship and doing it just as good as they did 15 years ago. This is the peak of kpop, nothing will ever top this. I love you girls generation! https://t.co/va21hu5O8L

the chorus is sung by all of them.. i feel like a lot of kpop songs since late 3rd gen have only 1-2 members singing the chorus but i miss the harmonisations that singing as a group will have 🥹pic.twitter.com/Sm2qcrifkT

When Girls’ Generation debuted in early August 2007, they showcased the epitome of innocence. With most of the members being 16-18 at the time, this concept was able to easily be showcased through their lyrics, fashion, and visuals.
Although the members of Girls’ Generation have shown different sides other than innocence in their careers, sticking to the original feel of Girls’ Generation for “FOREVER1” has pulled at the heartstrings of K-Pop fans everywhere, both young and old.
Seeing Girls’ Generation take the stage again after 5 years has brought K-Pop fans a great sense of happiness worldwide. The group’s legendary impact is still present today as they continue to excel in their careers.
