In the online community, a netizen sparked conversation after expressing his opinion on the concept that he thinks is the most legendary of all K-Pop groups. A special concept that is of particular concern is Girls' Generation's iconic sailor concept.
Girls' Generation released "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" on June 29, 2009, riding the wave of popularity they received from their previous single, "Gee". After carrying out many cute and feminine concepts before, this girl group is back in full force with their first adult concept.
The nine members of Girls' Generation wore sailors, soldiers, and pilots themed clothes while promoting "Genie". The song went viral on its own, but the whole "Genie" concept made it an instant legend. While the members snatched the top spot of girl groups with their hit "Gee", they became even more iconic with the release of this song. The entire nation can't stop humming to the popular song while dancing the famous foot snap choreography.

The concept of sexy and mature was adopted by many girl groups before Girls' Generation, but the public liked the way they executed it. Without being too open, the group released their cute image for a more feminine image. Flirting songs combined with leggy outfits proved to the public that they were no longer "little brothers".
"Genie" was a huge success, becoming one of Korea's most recognizable songs. Upon release, the album sold about 50,000 copies in just its first week, which is double the figure for "Gee". This was a great achievement, because at that time no girl group had sold this much in the first week.

Girls' Generation promoted this legendary song for approximately two months before stopping activities in mid-August. The song ended up winning the Grand Prize and Digital Song of the Year at the 2009 Golden Disk Awards. Netizens wholeheartedly agree that this era is completely owned by Girls' Generation and that they are legendary not without reason.
"Agreed. 'Genie' is an absolute legend," commented netizens. "Agreed. In my opinion, for the girl idol 'Genie' and for the male idol 'Sherlock'," said another netizen. "Totally agree," said netizens. "Agreed," added another. (wk / dewi)/wowkeren.com
