On October 15th, “Nightline”, an American nightly news program on the channel ABC, ran a story highlighting K-Pop, from PSY’s “Gangnam Style” to Girls’ Generation, calling them “The all girl pop craze sweeping the globe.”

Scenes of fans waving pink hearts greeting Girls’ Generation in New York last October for “SMTOWN LIVE in NEW YORK” were shown as “Nightline” begins to explain K-Pop beyond the success of “Gangnam Style”. “Nightline”‘s piece explores the K-Pop industry through SM Entertainment, and even went into the company’s offices for a behind-the-scenes look at the training process. The reporter for “Nightline” singled out Girls’ Generation, saying, ”The hottest act, a nine member girl group called Girls’ Generation.”

Clips from other SM artists’ music videos from Super Junior, f(x), and EXO were shown, as well as Girls’ Generation’s music videos including “Genie” and “The Boys”, where the reporter referenced Girls’ Generation’s chart topping success.

they also used footage from the i am movie.

i have to say the highlight for me was seeing donghae's face. that was unexpected. haha!

sm's building looks dingy.

I think Psy might have helped kick-start something here. With their attempt last year, SNSD got on TV but didn't make a huge splash. This time with their American album though, I'm very interested in seeing what happens..

teaching at one of the big box gyms here....all of a sudden i heard an english remix of the boys. surprised the hell out of me. still haven't heard them on the radio. but getting on the monthly premix of shops/gyms is actually how some artists start to get heard....so i guess Psy opened a door.

It's been playing at my job for months now (since June I think, maybe longer). I work at a campus bookstore.

Wait, do they say in the video that SMTown keeps auditions every week? That seems a little bit to frequent if you ask me, I thought they only ad auditions once/twice a year?

Seeing what all these people have to do to debut, I wonder if it is actually worth it in the end, lol.

They have open auditions every Saturday in the SM building. The seldom ones are the Global Auditions. The weekly auditions are for anyone to join. Hardly anyone passes the weekly open auditions though. When Taemin was accepted as trainee, he was the first non-streetcast kid from the open auditions.

Thank you for the info ^^

Kind of sad that they have these auditions and people participate, but barely anyone makes it.

Interesting video, well done imo, and Soshi bbs are also the hottest act in my heart <3

I didn't knew they made auditions that often.

what I learn from this video is that learning Korean hurts if you're in SM.
Girls’ Generation the hottest act...no not really. how can they not have Shinee in the video??

Girls Generations hottest act....um no. So when are they going to do the report on the darker side of kpop? Wait doesn't SK make good money off of Samsung, Kia, and all the other major manufactors?
