SNSD vs. Wondergirls vs. 2NE1 Battle in Fairytale Concept

Recently, the top three girl groups in Korea transformed themselves into fairytale characters.

First in the list is SNSD. SM Entertainment’s popular girl group had the fairytale concept for the jacket of their latest album, The Boys, and The Boys MV. They are adorned with dated extravagant gowns and medieval costumes and accessories, with hair and make up to match the princesses and queen-like personas they depict.

Next is the Wondergirls. The five members all dressed up as modern day versions of Alice in Wonderland for Vogue Korea. Sunye was Alice while Sohee became the bunny. Rapper Yubin became the Madhatter, Yeeun as the white queen, and Hyerim as the Red Queen.

 

And then, there’s 2NE1. The four ladies got together with other females of their entertainment group, YG Entertainment, to contribute for the partnership of the company and Elle Korea to do a charity event, Share Happiness. To do so, they participated in a photoshoot with fairytale concept for the magazine.

So, what do you think? Who ruled and rocked the fairytale theme?

Personally, I think the Wondergirls did best. They were mostly able to portray the personalities and their photos really tell a story. Next in my ranking is SNSD. The pictures look enchanted and magical, much like fairytales are. Then last is 2NE1. Don’t get me wrong, they look great, it’s just that the image don’t give me the fairytale feel.
