Mnet reality show Factory Girl chronicled the members working as interns at fashion magazine Elle Girl. The articles the group worked on were featured in the Korean Elle Girl magazine.
Factory Girl was intended to be the Korean reality version of the movie The Devil Wears Prada, with the nine members taking on the role of fashion editors for a magazine aimed at teenagers and young adults. The program premiered on October 8, 2008 at 6PM.The editor of Elle Girl Korea, Nam Yoon-hee, as well as other faculty, frequently appeared on the show to give the Girls' Generation members assignments and guidance.
The Girls' Generation members were instructed to write resumes before filming of the show began, which were later used to promote the show and posted up on the official website. The editor Nam Yoon-hee as well as one of Girls' Generation's managers then traveled to the members' shared apartment to rate the individual members' fashion senses. Yoona was filmed in secret while working at the set for her drama You Are My Destiny and Sunny was filmed in secret while out shopping with a friend, while Taeyeon was filmed with help from Kang-in of Super Junior with whom she co-hosted MBC FM Chinhan Chingu radio show at the time.
The members of Girls' Generation eventually split into two groups to compete when doing assignments, with Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Yuri and Yoona in the 'A' team and with Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Sooyoung and Seohyun in the 'B' team. In a playful discussion at the end of the first episode, the members later rename the 'A' and 'B' teams 'Candy Girls' and 'Dream Girls' respectively.
