Controversy and awards

Controversy
During the Dream Concert held
on June 7, 2008 in South Korea, a
silent protest was held against
Girls' Generation by other fan
groups, notably E.L.F (Super
Junior), Cassiopeia (TVXQ), and
Triple S (SS501).[17]
Additionally, after the cover was
released for their second EP
Genie, there was controversy
over some images used on the
cover, including a fighter jet
purported to be a World War II
Japanese kamikaze fighter jet, as
well as a badge that resembled
the Nazi swastika (Luftwaffe) and
two missiles. Due to the
misunderstanding, SM
Entertainment delayed the EP
until June 29 so that the covers
could be redone.[18]
