SNSD replaces the plane on Cover

After receiving much flack for putting a Japanese World War 2 plane on the front cover of Girls' Generation / SNSD's new album and consequently delaying the album release because of this, the new image of the front cover has been released.

The cover is basically the same except the Zero-sen fighter was replaced with an image of Korea's T-50 modern fighter. You'll also notice an emblem on Taeyeon is removed and the plane that's next to the "S" in "Girls" is flipped around, different wings on Yoona's hat, and some white space behind Sunny is removed.

Here's the images, credit to sosiz:

I like the old plane better it was kinda bigger then the korean one. Korean one is sharper like a stick but zero-sen is fuller
I LIKE OLD ONE BETTER

They couldn’t pick an older plane by Korea? The little propellers on the first plane made it cute.  The new one doesn’t even have Sone written on it.
I know I’m complaining and I know why they had to change it and I’m glad they did, but couldn’t they pick a different plane? This plane kinda clashes with the rest of the album cover. Well as long as the netizens are happy **shakes fist** I guess its ok.

Why don’t they just remove that ugly plane all together, it takes away from the group especially considering how good they all look, except T of course =P

well, glad they changed it! yet i think the whole marine-air force-theme for the cover is ridicolous… even if it shows a korean airforce plane and stuff… the changes in the details don’t change the fact, that the cover is really hailing war-symbols and stuff…

 
cakefreak's avatar

as long as the songs rock and the girls are still HOT I am fine with anything!

 
Kimikoko's avatar

what was the point of getting rid of space behind sunny?

Meh. In all honesty, I liked the old one better. The new plane looks like one you can make on paint [slight exaggeration]. The old cover looked more “authentic”. I would have never known it had something to do with a Japanese fighter plane or whatever. BTW, that white space that was removed behind Sunny, was Sooyoung’s elbow. xD

 
sassy_girl's avatar

like it *————————-*

It was a good decision to change it since it caused too much controversy. But i must say that i wish they had used neutral old plane than a modern korean one ( planes don’t always have to be some country’s, i don’t know why they didn’t use some not-some-country’s-but-some-individual plane instead….) because it would’ve looked better. Can’t complain anymore though since the changes are made. Hopefully they can finally come back in peace.

 
no avatar

yay haha
i don’t see the reason why they got rid of that white thing behind Sunny? oh well
the cover looks great! but it doesn’t portray anythng about wish or genie.. haha
can’t wait for their comeback!

Yoona’s hat, <333

 
unmyeongobta's avatar

Looks the same if you ask me…  NEtizens made SM waste some money on some insignificant detail…

 
Aly89's avatar

I don’t think the plane is all necessary anyway..

 
purplestar23's avatar

not much of a difference. but it’s all good for the netizens reacting violently towards the previous cover.

 
no avatar

it does look a lot better..yay!

 
chunghae♪'s avatar

I like them both. But the first one blended in better.. ?
they didn’t just change the plane, but they changed other stuff to on the girls on the right side, like Taeyoon and sooyoung badge. they got rid of it.

 
getlazy's avatar

I honestly love the cover, but the plane now it’s just ick. Whats the point of having it on there? I know to match the theme it just makes the cover looks a bit tacky.

 
NaihawK's avatar

that’s great.. it was a quick response for SM.. I really want to see them performing Genie..
anyways, it was a good change..

 
TaeSicaLuvr's avatar

The new plane looks better. Hopefully there are no more complaints so it could finally be released >_< Soshi Fighting!

Are you guys ignorant? The old cover is the equivalent of having a nazi german warplane with swastika on a jewish album cover, of course it’s gonna cause people to be in uproar.

 
azalea's avatar

still the concept of their song Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) cannot be related to their album/image concept. they should have just used the genie image instead. oh well.

 
no avatar

Ah, I’m lovin’ it. Especially the wings on Yoona. I’m glad they changed it. The cover looks better.

 
no avatar

they should’ve just took the plane out.
