[K-Pop Battle] Girls' Generation’s Taeyeon vs. 2NE1’s CL

Yes, they’re the leaders of two of K-Pop’s hottest girl groups, but that’s not why Girls’ Generation (SNSD)’s Taeyeon and 2NE1’s CL are duking it out in this week’s K-Pop Battle.

It’s the battle of the Instagram idols because we thought: why not combine our Instagram obsession with our idol obsession?

So read on, maybe check out Taeyeon’s and CL’s Instagram accounts if you haven’t already, and, of course, vote!

Taeyeon

SNSD is known for not being very active on SNS, so it was a pretty big deal when Taeyeon joined Instagram last month.

Having amassed more than 340,000 followers on the photo sharing application already, it’s clear that fans were waiting for the day to come when a SNSD member would grace the social media world with her presence.

Taeyeon is proving to be quite the social media butterfly as she has been posting selcas galore as well as photos of the other SNSD girls regularly, showing fans another side to the girl group.

CL

While 2NE1 members Sandara Park, Park Bom and Minzy are all active on social media websites like me2day and Twitter, leader CL has remained under the social media radar.

CL may be too cool for Twitter, but, like Taeyeon, the idol star is keen on Instagram.

And let’s be honest, we much prefer seeing what the badass 2NE1 member is up to through pictures too.

Taeyeon (just barely) beats CL in terms of the number of followers, but when superstar Rihanna is one among the 330,000-plus strong legion of CL followers, we call that #winning.

But it′s up to you to decide now. Who is the ultimate Instagram idol?

Girls' Generation / SNSD Biography

Girls' Generation is a South Korean girl group formed by S. M. Entertainment in 2007.^[1] The nine member group consists of Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun.

The group gained attention at the beginning of their career with songs such as "Into the New World" and "Kissing You" but it was not until 2009 when they gained significant popularity with their hit single "Gee", which would be named as South Korea's "Song of the Decade".^[2] The group solidified their place in the Korean music industry with follow-up singles "Tell Me Your Wish", "Run Devil Run", and "Oh!" from late 2009 to early 2010. In 2011, after a series of activities in Japan, the group returned to the Korean music scene with "The Boys", which was released in three languages: Korean, Japanese, and for the first time, English. In 2010 alone, the group sold more than 11,730,000 albums and singles collectively.^[3] The group's immense popularity in their native South Korea has earned them titles "The Nation's Singers" and "The Nation's Girl Group".^[4] The Sisa Journal named the group as the most influential entertainers for the years 2011 and 2012, making them the first female idol group in history to make the list.^[5] They have also been listed as #1 on the Top Female Singer's list for 4 consecutive years in a row (sans 2nd half of 2011 at #2) on the Leespiar Popularity Survey in Korea.^[6]^[7] Asia Today placed the group at forty-four on the 50 Korean Power Leaders list in 2011.^[8] Forbes also revealed the group were most powerful entertainers in South Korea for the year of 2011.^[3]

The group began a foray into the Japanese music scene in late 2010 under Nayutawave Records, with Japanese remakes of their 2009 Korean hits "Genie" and "Gee". The group's debut Japanese album, Girls' Generation, released in June 2011, is currently the highest selling album in Japan by a Korean group in Oricon history. It was certified "Million" by the Recording Industry Association of Japan, which made them the second Korean artist to earn such an achievement in Japan since label mate BoA's "Best of Soul" in 2005.^[9] The group followed up their success in Japan with their second album, Girls' Generation II ~Girls & Peace~.

They have expanded their reach in the Korean industry through their first sub-unit, Girls' Generation-TTS (known simply as "TaeTiSeo"), composed of members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun. The subgroup's debut EP, Twinkle, peaked at #126 on the Billboard 200, becoming the highest charting K-Pop album on the chart thus far.^[10]
