Girls' Generation always seem to inspire passionate responses from listeners.

With some of the most fiercely devoted fans in the world, the group has also faced their fair share of criticism, most recently for their choice of outfits in the music video for their new single "Mr.Mr." and subsequent promotional appearances.

In an appearance Tuesday on the South Korean cable talk show "Beatles Code 3D," Tiffany and Sunny defended their group's recent fashion choices when host Shindong of Super Junior dismissed them as tacky.

"Even when we performed [songs from the last Girls' Generation album] 'I Got A Boy,' no other girl groups had the look we had," Tiffany said. "We try to be ahead of fashion trends before we present the concept onstage."

Sunny agreed.

"We've tried many many different styles in the performances of "Mr.Mr.," from fedoras to dresses," she said.

"We wear different outfits for television appearances than the ones shown in the music video."

"People say something is 'tacky' to people who try a new style for the first time," Tiffany added. "I bet other people will start wearing fedoras soon."

The girls weren't asked about their Girls' Generation bandmate Yuri's comments on the Monday episode of the Seoul Broadcasting System interview program "Healing Camp," implying her future in the nine-piece group could be in peril.

"Recently, I feel troubled. I don't know what to do," Yuri said.

"I'm having fun in Girls' Generation, but it's not how I pictured my dream of being a performer. The members were just friends who I liked dancing and singing with. But now that I'm a [successful] singer, I'm starting think about what it is I really want."

"I feel like I have nowhere to go," she added. "I don't think we have much more time as pop stars. I worry about how all of the Girls' Generation girls can stay happy together and create lasting beautiful memories."
