Girls’ Generation, the K-pop group known as SNSD outside of Korea, made a flash appearance on Yale University’s art department website on Oct. 31, causing a frenzied response from fans. A scene from one of their music videos was used as the background spread of the Ivy League university’s School of Art home page.

The website is reportedly designed and run by the school’s art students and department members. There is much excitement around the buzz that there is an avid SNSD fan among the respected ranks of Yale.

The nine-member group has had a sensational following across Asia and beyond since their debut in 2007. They had begun charming the crowds as mostly 17- and 18-year-old girls dressed and depicted in candy-colored themes.

They are a major part of the K-pop movement, referred to as a “creeping global influence” by the New York Times, which recently reviewed the SM Town concert in New York in which the group performed.

On the website, a still shot of their music video for “Gee” was used as a background. “Gee,” which had its debut in 2009, holds the longest record for claiming the top seat in the national charts and was also named “song of the decade” by Melon, the Korean mobile music portal.

Online fans expressed that they were “proud of the girls” and thrilled to see their image associated with the famed university.

소녀시대 예일대 미대 홈페이지 'Gee 뮤비 컷' 배경화면 접수
걸그룹 소녀시대가 미국 예일대 미술대학 홈페이지의 배경화면을 장식해 화제다. 지난 달 31일 미국 명문대학으로 꼽히는 예일대 미술대학 홈페이지(http://art.yale.edu) 배경화면에는 인기 걸그룹 소녀시대의 안무사진으로 가득 찼다. 배경화면은 소녀시대의 지난 2009년 발표된 '지(Gee)' 뮤직비디오 스틸컷으로 소녀시대 멤버 모두 무릎을 세운 채 'v자'를 그리고 있다. 이날 소녀시대 배경화면 등장은 예일대 관계자 중 소녀시대의 팬이 꾸민 것으로 보이고 있다. 예일대 미대 홈페이지는 재학생 및 졸업생, 교직원이 편집할 수 있기 때문이다. 누리꾼들은 소녀시대 예일대 미대 홈페이지 장식에 "예일대 소녀시대가 접수하다!" , "미국 명문대에도 소녀시대 팬이 있다니,", "감동이다" 등 반응을 보였다. 한편, 소녀시대는 정규 3집 '더 보이즈(The Boys)'로 활발한 활동 중이다.
