OMG, I can’t believe this happened?!
Thank you,
@TiffanyYoung
! 😭💕
Your words in the “Thanks To” section of the Holiday Night album was one of the most rewarding moments for me & I always keep it saved on my phone. And I’ve always wanted to reply THANK YOU FOR EXISTING. 💗💗💗
[TRANS] Key's letter to Jonghyun: "The best artist of my life, friend, hyung and colleague, Jonghyunnie hyung, you worked hard, I love you so much!" 💚💚💚
[TRANS] I want to communicate a word of thanks to everyone who gave me a lot of birthday wishes and consolation on March 9, 2020. Countless people reached me, embraced me warmly and comforted me. I will live well going forward with the deep love and warm consolation.
[TRANS] Sleep well, our Jonghyun-ah. You worked hard, even today 💚
A photo we took after putting on makeup because we both wanted to take a pretty photo. Day we sung “Lonely” wearing matching pink outfits. 💕
Honestly, I was relatively okay listening to Jonghyun’s album. And then the last track was a punch in the gut.
“Before Our Spring” translated here because his poetry needs to be understood and appreciated.
All of the male celebrities coming out with their apologies:
You're apologizing to the nation...
You're apologizing to your fans...
Yet no one is apologizing to the VICTIMS whose lives you have destroyed.
Not that an apology would undo the damage you've caused anyways.
[TRANS] Zion. T's Instagram Story: In response to people berating him for not attending Jonghyun's funeral, he responds, "I went. When there weren't any more press. I am human too, so I am sad. Who goes to say their condolences to get photographed? I am sad."
💔💔💔
[TRANS] That’s you, and there’s no one who won’t love you because there’s a different you. I like you a ton, I love you, I want to pat you on the back and I wanted to embrace you just one more time.
This is the tree that Jonghyun had given to Taeyeon and has accompanied her for all 3 days of her Christmas concert onstage.
On the first day, she said she personally brought it from home. None of us knew how symbolic it was for her until her revelation tonight.
Sooyoung and Yoona talk about how it took them to their late 20s to do things like booking hotels for solo travel. Hyoyeon says she's never done it & members encourage her to try it.
Sooyoung: A therapist I see told me that sometimes it seems like I'm stuck as a high schooler.
SNSD continuing to make history. First time two idol actresses nominated in Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories. First time idol actress vying for Best Actress.
Blue Dragon Film Awards is one of three most prestigious movie awards in Korea.
Taeyeon: I watched Lee Hi's stage well. When she was singing, I wanted to help her in that moment. That distance felt so far. I wanted to comfort her but she did the stage so well in a cool way, so I was thankful. You worked hard, Hi. You've gotten even prettier.
[TRANS] Q: Is it manic depression? Tsk tsk
A: No, I’m suffering from depression. I am taking medicine and I’m working hard to get better. Whether it’s manic depression or depression, don’t tsk tsk and don’t give dirty looks. They are all sick patients.
Tiffany: We definitely communicated that today’s outfit concept is black and white but Hyoyeon is the center today and wore hot pink.
Sooyoung: In our KakaoTalk group chat, we definitely said, ‘Today’s backdrop is hot pink’ and Hyoyeon didn’t read it properly.
🤣🤣🤣
[TRANS] Hello. This is SM Entertainment.
On the 9th, a sad incident has occurred and Taeyeon is mourning her father.
May he Rest In Peace, and please give warm consolation to Taeyeon.
Personally for me, this glimpse into the girls' friendship and bond is more precious than any comeback, official schedule, event appearances, etc.
My heart is full seeing SNSD celebrating, laughing, smiling, teasing each other - and in turn, all of us SONE doing the same. #🧀
I have no fucking words for you if you’re sharing photos of the funeral and procession. It was literally the LAST WISH his family wanted for Jonghyun, which was for his funeral to be private. Media is garbage and they’re going to report. YOU have a choice to refrain from sharing.
Taeyeon says she doesn't want to give away the tree because her tree was a gift to her from her precious family.
Taeyeon: This tree was a Christmas gift from a friend who left on a long journey recently. I wanted to say this for 3 days now.
Taeyeon: I really miss Tiffany, so I kept contacting her. I told her that I'm going to sing TTS songs in the group chat. She has such a positive energy and she's a friend who always smiled at me so I missed her.
Seohyun: Let's go to the US together later, unnie.

“If you’re fat, you’re fat; if you’re skinny, you look sick; if you dress loosely, you look like a man; if you wear dress tightly, it’s too revealing; if you eat a lot, you’re like a pig; if you eat little, you’re picky…
Seohyun: SNSD is my destiny. How did we meet like this? How are we together up to now? This feels like a miracle and our destiny.
Other members: Fate. Family. Soul. Nation.
Hyoyeon: SNSD is my underwear. It's a necessity!
🥺💗😂😭💀
A tiny but major personal update. Introducing the littlest SONE: Lucian Haneul. 💗
Lucian means “light” and Haneul (하늘) is Korean for “sky”. Our long awaited baby boy is the light of our sky. 🩵
Also a cute nod to one of my favourite SNSD songs:
“It may have been because Jonghyun did not want to make a promise that he couldn’t keep, so he just let everyone hear his new songs that were completed.” 💔💔💔
“Singer Taeyeon will bury her ‘close friend’ Jonghyun, who has become a star, in her heart and set out for her concert”. Taeyeon will perform all 3 dates of her Christmas concerts. No change in plans.
SNSD’s music broadcast schedule has been cancelled this week (M Countdown, Inkigayo).
Seohyun received a positive COVID-19 diagnosis today. 😢😢😢 She has stopped all activities, is resting and receiving treatment.
Taeyeon said the waiting room with SNSD members is loud and chaotic. She observes the members and takes photos of them for personal possession. As a result, she doesn’t have too many photos WITH members because she only has photos of them. 😭💗
[TRANS] Sunmi on Jonghyun: Rather than saying "have strength" or "I understand" a hundred times, I think I would've held his hand, embraced him and waited for him.
New unit from ‘Boss of Girl Groups’ SNSD will come out. Already started working on the new song, aiming for second half of this year.
SNSD preparing new unit project, with plans to unveil new song late summer or early fall. Members unknown but already anticipating hot reaction.
[TRANS] Super Junior Leeteuk on Jonghyun: You came to find me in my dreams the night before we sent you off. You smiled brightly and said “Hyung needs to be happier (than me)” and this image is still vivid in my eyes.
‘SNSD-Oh!GG’ is a combination of exclamation ‘Oh!’ and short form of SNSD’s English name ‘GG’, meaning that they will captivate global fans with the diverse style, music and charms that various combinations of members can show.
OH GOD, it’s even funnier with audio.
Sooyoung to Tiffany: Did you just grab my hair?!?! Did you just grab my hair?? HUH?!?! LIKE THIS??? (Grabbing Yuri’s hair) LIKE THIS!!!
[TRANS] Sooyoung’s mom:
Girls’ Generation’s 15th anniversary fan meeting I went with a fluttering heart thinking I wouldn’t be able to go if I get older. The kids and the fans remain the same and made me think their relationship will never get old.
[TRANS] Our SONE who must have desperately waited for our promotions..ㅜㅜ And our unnies.. I’m sorryㅜㅜ I didn’t think I would get it because I’m healthy.. But I ended up getting itㅠㅠ I’m really so upset and sorry..
I didn’t mistranslate the last line. 외롭지않게 해줄게 is “I’ll make sure you’re not lonely”. The optimist in me wants to believe that Taeyeon means she will work extra hard to make sure memories of Jonghyun and his legacy are not forgotten.
Taeyeon: He was a romantic, kind, warm-hearted and a friend who knew how to share his heart. Handsome and cool bling bling friend. I kept this tree on throughout all of the season. I'm so sorry I've created this mood but that's the story behind this tree.
Hyoyeon: SNSD is a ray of light. These are happy tears.
Taeyeon: SNSD is my nation. They are my nation. I'm from there. During the Olympics, athletes compete with the Korean flag. I promote representing SNSD.
Just the differences in how they’ve tagged each other in these photos crack me up.
Taeyeon - lawful neutral
Sunny - true neutral 😂😂😂
Tiffany - lawful good
Hyoyeon - chaotic good
[CONT’D] Kim Jonghyun, who is the most unique, cool and incredible artist in my life, I really miss you a lot and I want to hold your hand. Jonghyun-ah, you are the best. You really worked hard 🖤
I’ll make sure you’re not lonely.
It takes courage to be this open and honest about your own struggles, especially as a well-known person in a country like Korea where mental illnesses are ignored and often swept under the rug,
Proud of you, Taeyeon. 💜
SNSD is wrapping up and saying time is continuing to pass.
Tiffany: Even though we don't know when we'll gather again...
Members: Where's Thanos? Thanos?
Hyoyeon: Just give us the Time Stone.
[CONT’D] I trust that he is watching from a good place and that he will protect us. Lastly, thank you to everyone who worried with us and tried their best and Dad! Taeyeonnie really loves you a lot👨👧💜
The WORST part about watching Korean varieties as an overseas fan is when they eat food that’s not readily accessible to you and you end up with a massive craving that you can’t satisfy. 😭😭😭😭😭
Tiffany created a guide with English lyrics for ‘Villain’ and Sooyoung re-wrote the lyrics into Korean and it had a bit of a different rhythm.
Sooyoung said her and Tiffany loved this song so much that if it got rejected from this album, they wanted to release it themselves. 🤣
[TRANS] The eight of us put everything on the line and tried our best in order to debut as a group called Girls’ Generation, and it’s not a group that was suddenly created overnight. It is true that we tried hard to create the best line up of members but...
[INSTAGRAM STORY] taeyeon_ss: 우리 여덟명은
소녀시대라는 그룹으로 데뷔하기 위해 꽤 오랜시간부터 모든 걸 걸고 최선을 다 해 왔고 결코 하루 아침에 뚝딱 만들어진 그룹이 아니에요 최고의 구성원을 만들기 위해 노력한 건 사실이나 우리는 대중들에게 보여지...
They were talking about end of year stages and Taeyeon said they cried because it was too difficult.
Sooyoung: When we do well and pull it off, they make us do more. So the solution is to not do it well.
🤣🤣🤣
[CONT’D] …if you like luxury, you’re frivolous; if you like being frugal, you don’t know how to dress up, people who are going to insult me are going to insult me regardless, so it’s best to live however I want.”
The whole reason why I try to live tweet is to tide the fandom over until proper subs can be done, so please chill on the tweets asking for a subbed version of Yoo Quiz.
It literally JUST ended and our fandom isn't so young anymore... back to my job now. 🙃
[TRANS] I can’t express it all in words but I trust you will know my heart. Thank you for always diligently expressing (yourself) with beginner Korean ^^ I will do well on the performances. Let’s see each other’s faces enjoyably and meet, all of us.
Taeyeon on SM Halloween: SHINee friends always put a lot of effort into their costumes and surprise everyone. Each year Kibumie regrettably doesn't place first and tastes bitterness despite an amazing transformation. So I always look forward to Kibumie each year.
[TRANS] Taeyeon’s 16th Anniversary Message:
To SONE
The reason why I can’t dislike hot summer days
Because Soshi and SONE exists 💗
Thank you for being by my side unchangingly this year too!
Let’s celebrate 16 years together!!
SNSD’s August comeback is confirmed with a commemorative album for the 15th anniversary.
They will also be appearing on variety of broadcasts and planning for their own reality program.
Global group indeed. Greetings in...
Taeyeon in Korean
Tiffany in English
Sooyoung in Japanese
Yoona in Chinese
Seohyun in Thai (at first, they asked her to speak ALIEN... TROLLS.)
Other highlights:
- Seho saying Seohyun looks more like a successful businesswoman than maknae now
- Sooyoung describing their debut stage for ITNW
- Yoona (on reading comments): "I read one that said SNSD's skinny jean were pants their mom used to wear"
[CONT’D] Our dad was by my side from the first day I started music as a young child. He would head out first, turn the car engine on and would move for his daughter. Even now, from somewhere, he is moving ahead first for all of us.
[TRANS] Taeyeon on Tiffany: To me, Tiffany is always someone who brings me up and out when I’m down. Her existence is like an energizer and she’s a friend who always brings a bright aura.
