Seohyun Gives Advice to 'KPOP Star' Competitors!

With their prior experience as idols, 2PM’s Nichkhun, 2NE1′s Gong Minzy, and Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun gave “KPOP Star” competitors some useful advice.

Seohyun, Minzy, and Nichkhun recalled their audition experiences in detail, and felt for the participants of SBS’s “Survival Audition KPOP Star”. They gave “KPOP Star” participants audition tips based off of their own experiences, and delivered sincere support messages.

Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun, who auditioned when she was in fifth grade, talked about her unique audition experience by revealing, “I actually sang a children’s song when I auditioned.” Seohyun stated, “My heart was fluttering and I was nervous. I didn’t think there was a way to look good to the judges. (What’s important for auditions is) your determination for reaching your own dream. You have to have a clear dream, and it’s important that you are prepared to accept any advice and things like that from someone. Only then will you be able to grow and continue on after accepting things.”

A Look into How Girls' Generation's Concepts Are Formed!

Girls' Generation's "The Boys" heroine concept.

In August of 2007, Girls’ Generation debuted with a mysterious, cheerful dance and song titled “Into the New World”, wearing Converse sneakers and pastel tone skirts. When promoting their remake of “Girls’ Generation” by Lee Seungchul, they showed a “young lady” image with a preppy look.

The sexy uniform concept from 2009's "Tell Me Your Wish".

They showed the charms of “grouping” by having all nine members wear the same outfits for “Gee” and “Tell Me Your Wish”.

SM Entertainment’s visual directing team leader, Min Heejin, stated, “After hearing ‘Gee’, we wanted to create an ’80′s Brooke Shields/Phoebe Cates image, so we had them wear white t-shirts with jeans, or the colored skinny jeans.” She said she chooses the outfit concepts by matching them with the first image she’s struck with after hearing the song. The sexy uniforms for “Tell me Your Wish” and the cheerleader concept for “Oh!” were completed the same way. She also got the image of Jessica Alba in the film “Sin City” after hearing “Run Devil Run”, and the Bond Girl image from “Hoot”.

For their latest single, “The Boys”, to fit the confident lyrics and music, she chose a “heroine” concept. Unlike their previous unified outfits, this heroine concept emphasized each members’ individual charms and tastes or preferences. However, each member was still unified with each other with modified equestrian uniforms and training outfits. Each member also freely switched up their costumes by wearing skirts, hot pants, pants, capes, and jackets. This could have been unfamiliar to those who remember the nine members wearing the same exact outfits.

Team leader Min stated, “I got some inspiration by watching the finale of the fashion show for the lingerie brand, Victoria’s Secret, where all the models appear together, all wearing different types of lingerie.” She revealed, “‘Healthy girls’ will be the ground rule of Girls’ Generation’s future concepts.”
