Wonder Girls don’t care. Secret ready to face SNSD 0

Popular Korean girl group SNSD are making their comeback on November 19th. SNSD’s popularity and great fandom is not hidden and thousands of people are anticipating their 3rd album. Many K-pop groups reschedule their album release dates because of SNSD’s, just to avoid any possible confrontation with them. But, there are two k-pop girls group who have some other views.

In the recent interview with Star News, Secret revealed their feeling of having the same album release week as SNSD. Secret patiently answered, “SNSD is a dominant group and we respect them as our seniors. It would be a total lie if we say that we are not worried. Besides, in our two year career, we have never thought to compete with any group. We are confident in ourselves and believe to give best performance for our fans.”

While talking about their album concept and their looks, they said, “If SNSD can show a very highly synchronized choreography with nine members, our four members will be showing our individual charm. The individual charm which each of our member possess will be our black jack for upcoming performances.” Secret member Zinger further added, “If SNSD have tall, sexy model like body, we have our cute, child-like looks.”

However, when the same question was asked to Wonder Girls, they revealed that they believe in making a good album instead of  competing. Wonder Girls’ spokesperson said, “It is not like we didn’t thought about sharing album release date with SNSD, but instead of worrying about competition, we would like to focus on making a better album”

All three groups are renowned groups in Korea and have support of their sincere and loyal fans.  Whose album will be the most successful is a total mystery.
