Girls’ Generation’s Boots Are Specially Made
Girls’ Generation is well known for their beautiful and slender legs. Recently, an interesting bit of information about the boots Girls’ Generation wears was revealed.
The boots that are part of the outfits for the “MR. TAXI” promotions are specially tapered for the girls and unique to them. Perche, the production company which made the shoes, specially ordered them for Girls’ Generation’s promotions. A spokesman commented that, “Because we got Girls’ Generation’s sizes, the calf part of the boots are over 5cm thinner, while the length is over 5cm longer. (…) It is a size that would be impossible for a regular person with an ordinary body to fit in.”
Fans watching the “MR. TAXI” promotions were impressed with their slender figures and expressed their envy, commenting on various internet message boards, “Girls’ Generation make people burn in motivation for a diet”

End of the year polls and surveys are recognizing Girls’ Generation’s talent and popularity. For the respected Gallup Korea poll, the singer of the year for 2011 is Girls’ Generation.
Gallup Korea gathered votes from people from the ages of 13 to 59 about the three singers voters felt were the most active. Out of 3401 votes, Girls’ Generation had the most with 26.1%, landing them in first place for the third year in a row. The group was first among each age bracket, truly showing their title as “Nation’s Idol”.
This year Girls’ Generation got number one for six weeks in a row on KBS “Music Bank” with their single, “The Boys”. They also had a successful entrance into Japan ranking fifth for the highest CD/DVD sales in the country. Girls’ Generation shows that their number one ranking for three years in a row has been well earned.
For 2011′s most popular song, Girls’ Generation’s “The Boys” was in third place with 2.7% of the votes.
Not only was Girls’ Generation ranked first in the Gallup poll, but in Sports Hankooki’s poll as well. For the third year in a row, the group has become the best star in Korea’s entertainment industry.
30 out of 100 experts from Sports Hankooki’s entertainment section chose Girls’ Generation as “This Year’s Star”, getting them the grand prize. While leading the K-Pop boom in Europe and the United States, they were judged highly for still receiving lots of love from Koreans. Girls’ Generation has taken the top spot since 2009, and since the first survey in 2005, Girls’ Generation is the first to win three times in a row.
Finally, Girls’ Generation was ranked fourth in the survey “Pop Culture Power Leader Big 30″, which charts the most powerful and influential people in the entertainment industry. Among people like SM Entertainment’s Lee Soo Man(1), the “Nation’s MC” Yoo Jae Suk(3), and YG CEO Yang Hyun-Seok(5), Girls’ Generation is considered to be extremely important in the spread of Korean culture globally. In the same survey last year they were also ranked fourth.
It has proven to be Girls’ Generation’s year yet again in 2011.

Girls’ Generation Sends K. Will a Wreath For His Concert
Girls’ Generation recently sent K. Will a congratulatory flower wreath for his Christmas concert, showing their close friendship with the popular ballad singer. The members displayed their clever sense by modifying a line from “The Boys” to place on the wreath, which reads “Man who will lead the world and man who is fabulous, K. Will”.
