SNSD’s Japanese Photobook gathers attention

Girl group SNSD’s Japanese photobook is gathering attention in Korea.

SNSD’s first Japanese album jacket photos were recently uploaded on their official Japanese website. The nine members are shown wearing white dresses to create a lovely, yet mysterious look.

However, upon closer inspection, it’s easy to see that each of the members have different dresses and accessories that compliment their unique tastes. The concept seems to focus on SNSD’s transition into womanhood and their feminine charms are just oozing in every picture.

In comparison to their previously pure and cute image, this recent photobook incorporates white and pick colors to portray a more matured and sophisticated style. The overall photobook draws out SNSD’s lovely nature in a fantasy-esque setting.
