Royal Mini Album: The Kim Family Sub-Unit

A Girls’ Generation sub-unit is set to their first mini-album “Twinkle” on 2^nd May, but the line-up of this unit is not exactly what previous rumors said it would be. Comprising of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun, the trio is better known as TaeNyHyun or the royal Kim Family to shippers.

SM Entertainment officially announced the creation of this new sub-unit today amidst rumors of a TaeNySic sub-unit being formed.

This move may come as little surprise to neutral onlookers, given how active the three have been lately, appearing on MBC’s Music Core as MCs as well as each releasing an OST for the dramas of late.

Fans will be hoping that the girls will be able to build on their recent success in the upcoming mini-album, which is aimed at grabbing the attention of fans not only musically, but also performance and fashion-wise.

Fan will not have to worry that SM Entertainment will being to favor the TaeNyHyun unit more though; they released in a statement saying, ‘Girls’ Generation’s subunit will feature the various talents of each Girls’ Generation member by changing the members of the unit according to the music and concept of each new subunit album.’

As such, we will no doubt see the all of the girls appearing in sub-units at one point or another, leaving rumors of a possible disband an unfounded fear for now.

SONEs, are you feeling the heat yet? With the girls in such phenomenal form ever since their debut, fans are surely feeling the heat; in a warm and fuzz manner. However, other K-Pop girl groups and singers surely feel as if they were in a furnace behind the heat of Girls’ Generation’s scintillating popularity.

In a poll recently conducted by research company, Lee’s PR, the girls were revealed to be the ‘Most Popular Female Singer(s)’ yet again since appearing on the poll in 2009. During this time, the girls have only slipped once, falling into second place briefly late last year.

Beating the likes of IU, Wonder Girls, Baek Jiyoung, Lee Hyori and Miss A, Girls’ Generation’s worldwide promotions and activities must surely play a part in them receiving this accolade yet again.

In addition to appearances in New York for fansigns, “Late Show with David Letterman” and “Live with Kelly”, the girls were also in France for “Music Bank in Paris” and recently concluded their 2^nd Asian Tour, which will have undoubtedly strengthen their position not only in Asia, but in the European and North American regions as well.

Let’s all pay tribute to the song that cemented Girls’ Generation as an international force!
