소녀시대 유닛, ‘소녀시대-태티서’ 탄생!


5월 2일 미니앨범 ‘TWINKLE’ 발매, 기대 만발!


색다른 매력으로 글로벌 음악 팬들 사로잡는다!


최고의 걸그룹 소녀시대의 유닛 ‘소녀시대-태티서’가 색다른 매력을 담은 미니앨범 ‘TWINKLE’을 발표하고 활동에 나선다.


‘소녀시대-태티서’는 뛰어난 보컬 실력을 갖춘 태연, 티파니, 서현 3명의 멤버로 구성되었으며, 그 동안 전 세계를 무대로 눈부신 활약을 펼친 소녀시대의 유닛이자 소녀시대 음악 활동의 연장선인만큼, 글로벌 음악 팬들의 폭발적인 반응이 기대된다.


특히 소녀시대의 유닛은 음악과 컨셉트에 따라 멤버 구성이 매번 다양하게 변화하고 멤버들의 재능을 전방위적으로 선보이는 차별화된 형태로 이뤄질 계획이어서, 음악뿐만 아니라 퍼포먼스, 패션 스타일 등 모든 면에서 팬들의 관심을 집중시킬 전망이다.

오는 5월 2일 발매되는 미니앨범 ‘TWINKLE’은 멤버 태연, 티파니, 서현의 풍부한 음악적 감성과 매력적인 보컬을 만날 수 있는 다양한 장르의 곡들로 구성되어 벌써부터 각종 음악 차트 석권을 예고하고 있으며, 화려한 뮤직비디오 역시 뜨거운 화제가 예상되는 상황.


또한 소녀시대는 작년 10월 발표한 정규 3집 ‘The Boys’ 이후 개별 활동에 집중, 태연은 드라마 카메오 출연을 비롯해 드라마 ‘더킹 투하츠’ OST, MC 등 다양한 분야에서 맹활약했으며, 티파니 역시 뮤지컬 ‘페임’을 통해 데뷔 후 처음으로 뮤지컬에 도전, 안정적인 목소리와 섬세한 감정 연기로 그 실력을 인정 받은 데 이어, 드라마 ‘사랑비’ OST에도 참여하는 등 만능 엔터테이너로서의 면모를 입증해 눈길을 끌었다.


더불어 서현은 윤건과의 콜라보레이션 외에 드라마 ‘패션왕’ OST, MC 등 다방면에서 경험을 쌓아, ‘소녀시대-태티서’가 선보일 새로운 음악과 퍼포먼스에 대한 팬들의 궁금증과 기대감은 더욱 증폭될 것으로 보인다.


한편, ‘소녀시대-태티서’의 미니앨범 ‘TWINKLE’은 오는 5월 2일 만날 수 있다.

59th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity: CHEIL WORLDWIDE: KOREAN WAVE THROUGH DIGITAL WAVE

2NE1 invited to the 59th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity !

"How well do you know K-pop? K-pop (Korean pop) is at the forefront of Korean wave, the global spread of Korean culture.


 K-pop is not just a music genre from a far-away country in Asia, but a new potential for global digital contents marketing. Do you want to win the world with digital boom? Then you should look into K-pop more seriously.


In 2011, K-pop put viewership figures at as many as 2.5 billion. It has been featured in global media, including Le Monde and Bloomberg, which praised the phenomenon for taking the world by storm without massive advertising. Hundreds of fans flash mobbed outside the Louvre, calling for an additional k-pop concert in Paris last year.


K-pop fandom is neither attributed to huge marketing spend nor to the interest in Korean culture. It was basically fueled by the power of contents, which gained sympathy from the world’s teenagers. But the single most decisive factor is the digital environment, which enables an explosive and self-generating wealth of contents. This in turn helped spread K-pop storm globally.


Cheil Worldwide had covered digital related-topics at Cannes Lions over the past four years.


This year it has teamed up with 2NE1, a K-pop group enjoying a journey as a global star. They explore the current phenomenon and discuss the global contents strategy, which is the mixture of digital, social and cultural. SJ Kimm, Cheil’s expert in the K-pop craze, and 2NE1, the trend-setting artist, provide a pleasant and in-depth look at the K-pop fever."
