I actually like that song :/
PLZ BE CLARA.
They can't add another singer to the group. Not enough lines as is.
It finally happened. Yai. Still surprised it took that long.
If they really kicked her out, then poor girl Sica.
All of them wanted to do individual stuff so I was really surprised they signed for another 3 years. But looks like #soshiband made them not have the balls to say 'fuck it'. The other girls probably talked her into continue for another promo cycle cause if one leaves the others gonna lose as well.
I agree what Dokish said. That's a heavy blow for SMent. Sica's cult gonna rage so hard. They will probably overcome it anyways because they are too big but whatevs.
The DBSK situation was really nasty, too.

More kpop idols should go solo:

Are they even relevant as a group in Korea anymore? 4 years ago they were massive here, but now most kids I talk to have no idea who they are and prefer the newer groups. Most of the time I see them now it is doing solo stuff and I haven't seen huge group advertising companies for a while, like what they use to do with Lotte department store and LG.
I doubt they don't know who they are. They're still the best selling girl group album-wise and one of the best selling digitally.
Yes they are. They're not at their prime anymore but they're still considered top tier. And I call bullshit on kids not knowing who they are lol.

It is mainly older kids who still remember them and their songs and showed any hint of caring when I said she had left today. Four years ago there wasn't a single kid who didn't know every lyric off by heart, now their fanbase seems much older and loyal compared to just widespread appeal.
It is genuine, most of my under tens had no idea. it was the over tens who knew mainly.
She wanted out at some point, seeing as they were planning for her to leave after the next album.
These girls have been together through thick and thin for years and years, even if they fought and had a disagreement there's a lot going on under the surface that no one but the 9 of them even knows.
I think pretty much anyone would be extremely emotional after something like that came to an end.
Still calling bullshit. I reckon I'd be extremely hard pressed to find a kid around 10 years old in Korea who didn't know who SNSD were.
They're still household names.
In some ways it's the opposite - as the groups have existed for years and been a part of the Korean mainstream with music, drama, cf, live scene for so long the demographics of people who know them gets more varied. I'm sure if you ask ahjummas to name an idol group nine times out of ten SNSD would be one of very few names mentioned - similarly they're still big enough on digital sales to prove they've got a presence among the main idol target market, even if say Sistar is bigger there right now and EXO's got more hardcore fangirls. I'm sure their standing will be hurt by this incident though.

Like I said mostly. I teach some 200 kids under that age. the younger you go the less likely they are to know them. And most kids who still remember them mainly remember Gee.

Yeah, i would agree with that. It just seems to me that now they are more relevant as a Korean instiute and for their personalities as opposed to being a pure musical group. I miss the days of kids dancing around to their songs, now they are more interesed in a pink ㅠㅠ
Not to pile on here... but can most kids under 10 really name all that many bands/groups anyway? Honestly..... i think i would have really struggled.
Taeyeon's recent Instagram has got some netizens buying canned goods and preparing for OT7
Yeah, there where rumors about this going about....
probably Tiffany is next?

haha, fair point. When I really cared about k-pop a few years ago I use to have great discussions with my students and they would know a lot. Now I haven't really talked that much about it so only know what is popular by the songs that they sing.
That is why I was asking if they were still relevant as a singing group. I never here anything from the kids about them these days, and the reaction was just meh when I told them the news. All they care about these days is A-pink.
You should talk to them more then. A-Stink suck.
SNSD are still the biggest money makers for girl groups in k-pop. The brand/members are still really sought after. But they don't promote as much or as hard as they used to. They aren't as active on variety. And they certainly don't pump out as many songs as they used to.
Girls Day. A-Stink. AoA. all more "modern".
Saw that. Might not be a fan of the songs, but she's legit qt.
Also, been meaning to say, that girl you posted the other day, that did the rap. your new waifu.
Music was really good.

Cheers for that answer.
I really wish i was in to k pop more. 2010-2012 seems to have been my golden era.
Yeah, they're more than just a singing group now and they also only promote briefly like once a year these days so there's that too. They are still household names and big sellers though, that is what I assumed you meant by relevant. Young kids are always going to be more into whatever is happening in the here and now though, especially those under 10.
Maybe the 8 other members realized Jessica's passion was no longer with SNSD but with fashion (and her love life) and they wanted to make her realize it by agreeing to kick her out and relieving her from the SNSD duties so she could focus on herself, but because she wanted to do everything, felt betrayed instead.
Classic k-drama misunderstanding amirite? huehue.

A lot of stuff coming out of the fanmeeting which is taking place right now, Seobaby crying to fans screaming Sica's name while singing Complete. 
Them wearing Jessica's stuff still still means ot9 just in a different way. Like I said I'm sure they agreed to kick her out to make Jessica realize what she really thinks is important in her life. I don't think they don't want her in SNSD, they are just acknowledging that she has different priorities and want her to focus on them instead of soshi.
just k-drama things.
edit: according to that twitter post: not k-drama things rip ot9 forever
high level scones confirmed they werent wearing blanc sunglasses anyways, was gonna let it slide but ppl keep mentioning it

SM is so dumb. They really need to learn with Japan how to milk the cow properly.
All they needed to do was tell Sica to wait 1 more year, then they would announce SNSD's end and go the Zone way. Make a Dome + WW tour, dress them all like brides and release a best of cd with 4 cds, one of them filled with solo songs. Make a goodbye photobook and dvd with their best moments together and corny stuff like that. name it "the power of 9". make a fucking documentary. idk.

Add to all that an album with solo performances by every member, do it a special live and sell the blu rays. Like the Marchen Fantasy last year.
I gotchu brah. their best songs, in order:
#1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-FUZPic2E
#2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWpl2CaCnVA
#3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUtGJtyoIfg
#4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H7ZG7yk5Wo
Their other songs are kinda just... there. They're listenable but these 4 are their best songs.
giri was/is in disbelief. sica is his fav member so I can see why he doesn't want to believe that.
