As I listened to the voices of my bandmates after a long time, I suddenly got emotional," she recounted. "We asked her to make it in celebration of the group's 15th anniversary. Girls' Generation is an iconic K-pop girl group that stood on the forefront of the global boom of Korean pop culture, known as "hallyu," during its prime. "Actually, we had been discussing the comeback since we celebrated the 14th anniversary. But we felt we would like to roll out the album properly on the 15th anniversary." The resulting studio album, which is set for digital release at 6 p.m. Friday, has a total of 10 tracks, including the title single "Forever 1."

The single was written and produced by K-Pop hitmaker Kenzie, known for her repeated collaborations with Girls’ Generation and other SM Entertainment-associated acts including BoA, Red Velvet, Shinee and NCT 127. “Forever 1” is accompanied by a music video, which finds members Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun living the high life — flying on private jets, riding in limousines, being bombarded by paparazzi, DJing at clubs — while also performing together in tightly choreographed scenes on a cruise ship and a colorful parade float.

It also signifies the end of Girls’ Generation’s extended hiatus, which first began when members Tiffany, Seohyun and Sooyoung departed SM Entertainment in 2017.

Girls' Generation are back with comeback album 'Forever 1' – however, the group's future beyond the record is undecided, said leader Tayeon.

Later this month, Girls’ Generation are slated to appear as a full group and perform live at SM Entertainment’s SMTOWN LIVE 2022: SMCU Express @ Human City Suwon concert on August 20.

SM Entertainment released the MV for Girls' Generation long awaited comeback ' 'FOREVER 1'.

Girls' Generation debuted on August 5, 2007, with the single ‘Into the New World’ from their eponymous Korean album. On August 5, SM Entertainment released the MV for 'FOREVER 1' and the encouraging instrumental had us in tears! Girls' Generation is composed of eight members: Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, YoonA, and Seohyun. Originally a nine-piece ensemble, Jessica departed from the group in September 2014.

Everything you need to know about the members of Girls' Generation: Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun.

(Remember this iconic pre-show moment?) In recent years, she’s opted to solely focus on her acting career. After peacefully departing the group’s label in 2017, Girls’ Generation’s youngest participant and lead vocalist Seohyun has found success in her extensive film, television, and theater roles. In present-day K-pop, Hyo has already kicked off 2022 as a fellow GOT the beat member and added multiple hits like “Deep” to her repertoire, so we’re eager to see how she combines her newfound edgier side with Girls’ Generation for this return. As the main rapper, main dancer, and sub-vocalist of Girls’ Generation, Hyo often brings a precision to the group’s more assertive tracks, starting with the 2011 song “The Boys,” and the ambitiously produced single “I Got A Boy” in 2012. Break out your pink SNSD light-sticks and brush up on your “Into the New World” choreo, because Girls’ Generation, (the most influential K-pop girl group of all time), is back. But honestly, the last thing Taeyeon would ever need is a warm-up anyways…

Fifteen years as a group is something that cannot be maintained just for the sake of business. From the rehearsals to all the food that we ate then; I can remember (it all) clearly.” Just like the title of the band’s first single, “Into the New World,” Girls’ Generation opened up a new era in the K-pop scene with their debut on Aug. 5, 2007. During their hiatus from group activities, the eight bandmates have strived to set down their own roots as musicians and actors -- and have now returned together on a stable ground. Starting their careers together as K-pop musicians in their early teenage years, the girls are now all women in their thirties with established careers of their own. I also become nostalgic in hearing past music, and I hope Girls’ Generation can also become such musicians to people,” Yoona said. We didn’t realize what kind of significance that song would carry back in 2007, and just worked hard to perform it energetically.

After a five-year hiatus, Girls' Generation has released the music video for their new single Forever 1 off the album of the same name.

Leader Taeyeon collects the statue — it’s suspiciously shaped like the official Girls’ Generation fan club, SONE’s, heart logo — and the members burst into dance. In the intervening years between releases, members Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun have spent time recording albums, acting, modeling, and just being famous — as captured in the glamorous music video which sees the eight-piece galavanting in private jets and performing together atop gilded parade floats and cruise ships. The joyful single is off their seventh Korean-language studio album of the same name, out August 5.

When they sing, “We're forever,” over the title track's sparkly hook, you actually believe it.

Forever 1 the album, on the other hand, appears to be simultaneously an expansion of the Girls’ Generation journey and retrospective look back at their legacy. It’s a warm and reassuring message to send to fans for any girl or boy group but seems to ring especially authentic and true coming from Girls’ Generation. When they sing, “We’re forever,” over the song’s sparkly hook, you genuinely believe it. For many Sones — the name of their fans — its release is a moment that’s been long-awaited, but not without a slight curiosity to see how the group now fares in the current, cultural K-pop context.

Girls' Generation's "Forever 1" 15th-anniversary comeback proves why the K-pop icons are breaking Korean-music industry norms together.

“Forever 1” delivers the high-energy turbo-pop that the girl group became famous for with modern-day touches like the surging synth lines. Despite the complicated internal situation, one that can sideline even the biggest of K-pop acts, the group has returned for a full-length album of new music led by a single that captures what always made the girl group so loved. Forever 1 is the K-pop girl group’s new album and single of the same name that celebrates their 15th anniversary.
