Wonder Girls and Girl's Generation, the top two girl groups will meet face to face in November.
Wonder
Girls who have been concentrating on their United States activities for
a while will be making a long awaited come back in Korea in November.
Having American activities lined up, the Wonder Girls will release a
single and only have a month to spend in Korea. After releasing "Two
Different Tears" last year in May, it has been a year and a half since
they've performed on native soil.
The Wonder Girls have been
working on movie, "Wonder Girls at the Apollo" all as actresses within
the film. After completing filming, it is said that they came back to
Korea on October 9 to start recording their next album.
SNSD
is planning to release their new album October 19 and making their
comeback at the end of October. They will start full fledged activities
in November. This album was supposed to be released October 5, however
it got delayed by two weeks.
Recently SNSD has released teaser
trailers for their new "The Boys" album through SM Entertainment's
YouTube channel. The number of views by netizens sky rocketed to the
millions within a few days, previewing the scale of popularity the girls
are capable of. They raised the already high expectations through their
fresh new concept.
Because of the Wonder Girls focus on
foreign activities over a longer period of time, SNSD seems to have the
upper hand in popularity and recognition in Korea as of now. However,
for the amount of time that they have been away, the more anticipation
there seems to be for the Wonder Girls' comeback by their fans. The
foreseeable competition between the two girl groups is gaining more and
more attention.
In the past, when the Wonder Girls were active
SNSD would be resting and vice versa. However, this November, album
sales, chart rankings, and music show rankings between the two groups
will go head to head, and inevitably there will be a group that will
come out on top of the other. This anticipated competition between
Wonder Girls and SNSD have gotten the fans riled up already. There are
rumors that fans on both sides are getting ready to not lose to the
other.
Who will take the number one trophy in November?
