Domestically in South Korea, SM Entertainment K-pop girl group Girls’ Generation is the most impactful girl group in K-pop history. Their success was so pronounced early on that they were referred to as the “nation’s girl group” in Korea, a colloquial title that has only really been applied to Twice since then. There are various anecdotes of how incredibly popular they were in their prime, and the fanbase remains strong today. Girls’ Generation officially debuted on August 5, 2007 with “다시 만난 세계 (Into The New World).” To explain exactly how old the Girls Generation (SNSD) members are right now, here is the current age and birthday for Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, YoonA, and Seohyun (and birth date for former member Jessica).
Current Age & Birthday to Explain How Old Girls’ Generation (SNSD) Members Are

Former member Jessica was born on April 18, 1989. SM Entertainment dismissed Jessica from Girls’ Generation on September 29, 2014 owing to scheduling conflicts between group activities and Jessica’s individual promotions and business.
At the time that Girls’ Generation officially debuted in August 2007, the members were the following ages: Taeyeon was 18, Jessica was 18, Sunny was 18, Tiffany was newly 18, Hyoyeon was 17, Yuri was 17, Sooyoung was 17, YoonA was 17, and Seohyun was 16. That means Seohyun is the maknae (“youngest member”) of Girls’ Generation, while Taeyeon is both the oldest member and also the traditional SNSD leader. (Leadership entered a more rotational model in 2022.) Notably, Tiffany and former member Jessica are both originally from the United States, having both been born in the same hospital in San Francisco, so they both speak native English.
