Last week, two of the most popular idol groups in Korea presented new albums on the same day. These groups are 2AM and Girl's Generation (So Nuyh Si Dae), and people are super excited to hear about these groups' comeback and are curious who will win the first place of online charts and the music programs on TV.

These two albums are very different from one another. Most importantly, since 2AM is a ballad group and Girls Generation (SNSD) is a dance group, 2AM more likely focused on their songs and how they bring out perfect live shows in concerts, and Girls' Generation focused more on dance performances and their appearance. Just like how K-Pop fans expected, these two groups both made great hits on media. 2AM's songs are heard everywhere and became the most popular ringtone of the following week. In the other hand, Girls' Generations' dance moves and their performances on stage are currently being an hot trend among teenagers and young adults, resulting out with numerous parodies from all over the world.

But the most important factor in albums are the songs in them. I personally like both of their title songs, and they both hold high quality. 2AM's songs are very touching and attractive but they failed to try different kinds of music styles. In other words, their songs all sounded similar to one another, and I sometimes had trouble identifying which one is which. Girls' Generation only presented 5 songs in their new mini album, but I have to say they are fresh and have more variety from powerful to soft and from girly to tough.
As a fan of both groups, 2AM and Girls' Generation, I can't wait to see more of their performances on media.
