So Nyeo Shi Dae (SNSD en abrégé) qui signifie "l'Ère des filles") et est aussi appelé Girls' Generation, Shoujo Jidai au Japon, et Shàonǚ Shídài / Siu Nui Si Doi en Chine et à Hong Kong, est un girlsband créé en 2007, par le célèbre label SM Entertainment. 

Avant leurs débuts officiels, elles attiraient déjà l'attention, en effet, les netiziens pensaient que le nom de leur groupe serait "Super Girls" en référence au groupe Super Junior ayant un grand nombre de membres, étant de la même compagnie dont elles sont la "version féminine". 
Les membres du groupe ont toutes reçu une formation professionnelle de plusieurs années, principalement basée sur le chant, et la danse mais également sur la comédie. Certaines ont pu commencer leur carrière dans de brèves apparitions TV (Clips, Publicités, Dramas, Films... ), et ont également pu choisir des noms de scène. 
Les membres sont au nombre de neuf bien qu'à la base, le groupe devait compter onze membres. Elles ont été choisies dans l'ordre suivant : YoonA, Tiffany, YuRi, HyoYeon, SooYoung, SeoHyun, TaeYeon, Jessica puis Sunny, arrivée en dernière car celle-ci n'a pas pu commencer une carrière sous un autre label. 
Leur fanclub officiel est appelé S♥NE (소원, Sowon = Voeu, en référence à leur chanson "소원을말해봐"= Tell Me Your Wish), et leur couleur officielle est le "Rose Perle". 
Elles ont débuté avec leur premier single : Dashi Mannan Segye (Into the New World). Elles connaissent un franc succès à la sortie de leur single "Gee", et deviennent alors très populaires en Asie. En aout 2010, SM Entertainment prend la décision de les faire débuter au Japon avec une nouvelle version de Sowoneul Malhaebwa (Genie) prévue pour début septembre, Gee, en octobre. Fin Mai/début octobre, les SNSD sortent un full-album japonais nommé Girls' Generation. L'Album ne contient que des titres Japonais y incluant aussi les derniers singles Japonais (Gee et GENIE), le clip en version Japonaise de Run Devil Run et le titre phare Mr TAXI. En ocotbre, les SNSD font leur comeback en Corée avec un full-album nommé The Boys (celui-ci contient par ailleurs la version coréenne de leur titre japonais Mr TAXI). Leur titre phare du même nom sort en version coréenne mais aussi anglaise.
