Just when you thought reality TV could not get any worse:

K-pop group Girls’ Generation is set to show “a side of them never before shown on TV” in the pilot episode of their new reality program later Tuesday.

“Channel Girls’ Generation” — to be aired on South Korean cable channel OnStyle at 9 p.m. on Tuesday — isn’t the band’s first attempt at reality TV by any means.

Previously, some members have appeared as guests or had permanent roles in shows like “The Taetiseo,” which chronicled the lives of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyeon on the same channel last year.

“Channel Girls’ Generation” is the first to feature all eight current members after the exit of Jessica last year, with each of them directing her own segment, or “channel” in the program’s vernacular.  [Yonhap]
