The reformation was teased by member Tiffany Young in a recent interview with Elle Korea. When asked if they had any plans to celebrate their 15th anniversary, Young replied, “I need confirmation before saying anything… yes, we do have something planned. That should be enough right? Yes, we have plans!”
The news of the brand new, as-yet-untitled Girls’ Generation album comes hot on the heels of the announcement of Girls’ Generation member Hyoyeon’s first solo mini-album, DEEP. The album’s title track was released on Monday, 16th May.
‘DEEP’ is an EDM pop song. The music video choreography was created by Street Woman Fighter star Honey J and is reminiscent of a spider, with Hyoyeon using a spider’s web as a metaphor for the way someone may have no choice but to be pulled in.
