K-Pop Sensations Usher In New Era At MSG By: Lewis Dodley Their name is Girls Generation. The nine-member group from South Korea was one of seven acts brought to New York by SM Entertainment who packed the arena at Madison Square Garden. 이들이 메디슨 스퀘어 가든서 공연한 소녀시대다. Their energy, youthful beauty and catchy tunes shot them up the charts in Asia. Now they've set their sights on the U.S. 아시아를 정복했고, 이제 미국으로 시선을 돌렸다. Their first English single called "The Boys" was released just last week but will it make Girls Generation a household name. 지난주 영어 싱글 발매했는데, 과연 미국서도 성공할까. "Hopefully it will. We worked with Teddy Riley for the single. And he was very comforting and I think the result came out really well," said Girls Generation member Jessica. 제시카왈, 테디라일리와 작업도 같이 하고 그랬으니, 그랬으면 좋겠네. The single is one thing, but is America ready for nine girls in one group? 미국은 이 9명 소녀그룹을 받아들일 준비가 되었나? "Definitely looking forward to U.S. fans liking Girls Generation because there's a variety of personalities and people so I think you can take your choice," said Girls Generation member Tiffany. 티파니, 다양한 캐릭터가 있고 이중 하나 선택할 수 있으니, 당연히 소시 미국팬들을 기대합니당~ There's no shortage of choice when it comes to the growing number of so called K-Pop groups. Though there are more than a million Asians in New York and 14 million across the country their goal is to appeal to the broader U.S market -- something made easier by the power of the Internet. 점점 커지는 K-POP으로 확대하면 선택의 폭은 더 많아진다. 뉴욕서만 백만, 전미에 1400만 아시안들이 있는데, 그들의 목표는 더 넓은 미국시장으로의 진출이다. - 인터넷 덕에 점점 더 쉬워졌다. "Five years ago it would be hard to imagine that people in Europe or all over the world would be listening to K-Pop," said Key of SHINee. 키, 5년전만해도 유럽과 전세계에 k-pop 팬이 있을꺼라곤 상상못했다. And five years from now we might be wondering what took so long in the first place. 지금부터 5년후엔 어떤 것이 1위자리를 오래차지할지 궁금해할지도.
