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:

AH! Great way to solve the porblem! Well….it’s best not to caues any porblems….caues the war it flaming between some contries and it’s so stressful for them to live over there (>.<)

their image of this cover does not relate to the song title at all. I have no idea where they are going with this. The cover is not eye catching or unique in a way. I still find the airplane situation to be insulting to their country.

My favorite member is yoona, but why is she dead center? I find it unfair to the other 8 members of the team.

i like the new cover its not better than the old one, its just as good.

 
ipandaxpnai's avatar

it looks better! but i think they switched the order of the girls too?

 
pangstar's avatar

i never thought it was a big deal.

 
ambii's avatar

the plane doesnt do much for the cover. just having the girls and their concept on the cover is good enough. haha even tho the plan looks like it is knocking her hip out of place lmao XD

if it was gonna be a problem they should have just took out the airplane and have nothing there. And they’re dressed up as sailors so it doesnt make since to have an airplane in the image.

why SM always put Yoona in the middle???
I wanna see another girl in front…

 
sweetless.skye's avatar

awesome. can’t wait till their album comes out

 
bekha's avatar

I like the other one better. It made it look more retro, and it fit the style of the cover. And, yes, I effing agree with #50! Why is Yoona ALWAYS in the middle/front/etc? TAEYEON is the LEADER, not her. >___>;

 
toto101's avatar

lol that was pointless imo but hey w/e ppl will always complain cool cover anyways

 
renellebum's avatar

i dont see why they photoshopped sooyoungs arm out

but lets see the netizens rant about this!

 
arigato's avatar

i also like the old one better, but the new one is pretty sexy all in itself

 
no avatar

I love the cover, but I also think Taeyeon should be on the front considering she is the leader ... but it looks nice anyways!

 
no avatar

It wasn’t that big of a deal. I really doubt anyone wanted to hurt the feelings of fellow Korean citizens yet they’re in the limelight and every little thing must be picked at. But whatever. I liked the other plane better. It looked older which went with the concept style but since they also changed Yoona’s hat symbol, it looks a little new-er.

 
Leah's avatar

The plane is completely useless imo. The cover would have looked better without it in the first place.

 
xxskyzlimitxx's avatar

I don’t mind it either..

 
XEEREEX's avatar

My opinion is.. why a plane?
Why just don’t make a cover without the plane? The plane is really not necessary.

 
teenaxboee's avatar

not much of a difference or big of a deal in the first place

 
iluvkyuhyun's avatar

The new one looks much better than the old in my oppinon

 
Kokoro's avatar

The first cover looked better, now the plane looks more cartoonish, but I guess that it’s good even though

 
no avatar

wow i wonder how many trees died for this reprinting T_T if they did print some copies already before


but yea i still like both covers - very subtle differences (well other than an entirely different plane)

if you look closer, they changed something on sooyoung and hyoyeon too… which is a bit ridic. because those things aren’t actually offensive |: for once, netizens need to do more research >>

 
aliciaisvip's avatar

the white space behind sunny is sooyoung’s elbow lol!

 
Yori's avatar

still looks great smile

 
noura's avatar

@ 58….........there IS a connection between the title song and the marine concept of the album cover . Every Korean’s wish (Tell Me Your Wish) is to reunite their country . SNSD is going to fulfil their wish by making a cultural /musical assault upon NK ,which is symbolic of a Marine-amphibious-military assault . When those NK citizens start listening to SNSD’s mesmerising tunes, they will start to rise up against the evil dictator Kim Jongil and overthrow him . That was how, the Berlin Wall fell . ........................SM is going to use high altitude balloons and drop SNSD’s albums all over NK = joking.

The new cover looks good too. Well, they had a concept and colour scheme to follow so that there would be no delay in printing and releasing the album so I’m not surprised that the change is minor but yet effective….. I’m glad they finally they resolved this problem. It can put their minds at rest from all the uproar now.

DoubleAAbatteries's avatar

Oh nice:DNew cover not much difference but at least it’ll stop netizens from complaining:D

 
youngbaelover's avatar

yea what does this have to do with a genie wish kinda thing?
whatever just bring out the music, yuri, and seohyun and im happy lol

 
hyerimii's avatar

Wow people must’ve stared at it for hours to figure out the changes….

 
insomniac's avatar

i think the new cover looks generally better, although it’s pretty much the same if you don’t observe both carefully. but the plane looks awkward now. it looks really animated.
