2010 was an interesting year for the Japanese music industry, as they were introduced to two of Korea’s hottest girl groups – SNSD (a.k.a. ‘Shoujo Jidai‘) and KARA.
SNSD Girl's Generation
Although they already had support from their Japanese fanbase, these girls managed to win the hearts of general music fans; they not only placed highly on the charts, but they also walked away with a distinguished award each from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).
At the “25th Japan Gold Disc Awards“, KARA and SNSD were named as Japan’s “New Artist of the Year” – KARA received the ‘International’ award, and SNSD attained the ‘Domestic’ award.

SNSD named on Asia Today’s list of ‘50 Korean power leaders for 2011′
This is definitely an incredible feat. Even though they debut for less than 4 years, they are now a force to be reckon with.
Girls Generation
They had only debuted in Japan for less than a year and their popularity has been soaring in Japan since then. Not only in Japan though, their popularity is spread throughout the entire world.
America, Asia, Europe, they have spread their influence all over the world now. However, the kpop fever might not last forever so its best that they give it their best and uphold the high quality in Kpop.
If the audience starts to get bored or once the kpop groups start to get complacent, their stand in the world might be weakened and even replaced one day.
There are no evergreen groups in this world and idols are usually easily replaced because of the incessant introduction of new idols. Rarely do idols survive in today's world. Those that do are legends like Beyonce, Elton John, The Beatles, and Celine Dion.
Teenagers today change their choices too rapidly and they are more interested in the new ideas and songs rather than the old ones. So its really important to keep one updated and refreshed before people start to get sick of you. This is similar in the case of the businesses out there, they continue to diversify and cater to the needs of customers by making use of various new and up-coming systems.
SNSD
For now, it is SNSD's world and no doubt they will continue to make use of their clout to empower the world.
Hwaiting!
