Hello readers, long time no see/talk 🙂
As some of you may have noticed, I’ve been quite busy/MIA from the blog and recently, my school and social life has been dominating my schedule. I’ve been having many troubles when it came to juggling and after a long and hard debate with myself, I’ve decided that I should resign. It’s been an amazing 3+ years with SNSDKorean and the readers and I’ve met some amazing people through this blog. I’m so happy to have been apart of this site and was able to witness it grow and expand. It’s a shame that I can’t continue doing this for life but I’ll always be a SONE and the biggest fan for snsdkorean! Please continue supporting this amazing place and all of its writers.
I’ll catch you all on the flip side~
edit: No, the blog is not closing!
SNSD Korean 
oh,thank’s for your amazing job,and i realy hope your happines,because you help me to be more happy,snsd is my life ❤
and please always be a sone !
As a long-time viewer of this site, I’ve actually never posted until now. But I’d like to say thank you for all your hard work. Without you, this site wouldn’t exist today, and without all your dedication, it wouldn’t have become as successful as it is today. I personally can’t read Korean, but this site has become my daily source for news about our 9 nine angels. Without SNSDKorean, I honestly don’t know how I’d cope with my SNSD obsession XD
With that though, I’d like to wish you all the luck in your future endeavors, and I’ll personally be rooting for you all the way =)
I really can’t say this enough, but I’ll miss you, as I’m sure all of us will. Thank you for your passion and love for the girls and for SNSDKorean, and I hope one day you’ll return to us =)
*sniff* WAAAA this makes me very sad, because of you ive learned to love SNSD even more! thx for your hrad work and for the amazing thing you have done for this blog!
Is this an early april fools joke?
I hope so. Our Boss Lady, Cindy can’t leave… TT. It won’t be the same without her. If she decides to leave she needs to do push ups!
all the best =) do visit here when you have time…
Thanks for the hardwork and commitment!~
thanks boss. good luck with all your endeavour. you are the best.
Thank you very much for this and FIGHITNG! for the future 4ever a sone don’t forget it, you are the best =)
لا لاتذهبي أرجوكي أنا أيضا من المتابعين لكي
lol ما أعتقد انها تفهم عربي 🙂
good bye boss and good luck 😀 i wish you the best. thank you for your hard work, and i dont think i would be a SONE now if it wasn’t for this amizing site. thank you and god bless…FIGHTING!!
Thank you so much for all your efforts! good luck with all your future endeavors! sones fighting!
Aaaah I’m sad hearing this. After all posts you’ve shared here I feel like I will lose some friends eventhough we’ve never meet before but I always think that SONE is all friend for each other, SONE is connected to each other. Thankyou Boss Lady for making me loving these amazing girls 😀 wish all the best for your life 😀
No te conozco pero suerte en el futuro!
Many many thanks, and best regards.
NOOO how could you leave, I mean, didnt you create this website. Like post when you have some free time :3
Just don’t leave
please noo >_<
But, good luck to you in your studies 🙂
[PLEASE DONT LEAVE :(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ooh i will miss this fansite! But yea i understand that you have a lot of homework or other things so i just wish you all the best!! But if you have time, just post xD i will definitely read!
boss? why you leave? =( please continue writing posts at least once in a while!!! <_<
well GL for your future… I guess RL really gets in the way…
Wahhh, Boss Lady is leaving?!? Ah, life happens, so stay alive out there… Wish you all the best, even though I’m not a very active Sone (-headdesk) I still am very grateful to you and SKE.
omo plz dont leave! like wat the other peeps said.. come wen u have free time to post 😀 no pressure! but its understandable with school and stuff sigh…
Thank you for all the work you’ve done and kepping sones updated on snsd stuff! THANK U!
Then thank you for what you’ve started and what you’ve done.
Can’t say I’m thrilled at the news, even if I’m not sure what exactly it will mean for the site.
“In life we’ve got nothing but ourselves; and if we’re not doing the things that matter to us, then we daily betray what little we have.”
Be well, do well and do good.
And bon chance
AWW!! How can you quit?! :O
Well, I’m glad you made this fansite though.
It grew up to be something big.
Too bad you can continue working with it… 😦
Good luck with everything.
Like the others have said I really admire and appreciate all the time and effort you’ve put into this site over the years, Thank you so much!
From your last sentence I assume that this web site will continue operating with the other writers contributing? Are you going to still hang out and post an article here and there with somebody else taking the reins or taking a much deserved hiatus? We all sure hate to see you go!!
:O Thank You for all your hard work and best of luck for the future!!!!
hope to see u back once in a while!!!
does this mean snsdkorean is closing? :O
NOOO WAYY! snsdkorean is NOT closing. im just leaving =) thank you for the support everyone
AHH thats a relief because for the past 3 yrs this has been my homepage and my source of SNSD info!!! thanks for the hard work!!! BOSS jiang!!
Best of luck Cindy! I’m going to miss you so much! Thanks so much for all of your hard work. I’ll never forget all of the memories you helped create on this site. I’ll always remember how coming upon this site changed me, even when it was still just a small blog. I hope you’ll still continue to watch over us and visit often as the site continues to grow from the foundation you laid.
awww.. thank you for everything.. for all your hard work..
cindybear… i will love you and support you no matter what. thank you for being the loveliest person ever.

thank you so much for all the work you’ve done for SKE and for us readers. Please come back soon as we will support SKE always! ^^
nnnnnooooooooooo!!! Don’t leave me, Cindy!
How am i going to locate you on your 21st birthday?
i still have my promise to fulfill to you.
In case you’ve forgotten (D: how can you forget this????), it involves bunny-boys and rice cooker.
HAHAH i will NEVER forget that conversation dear. youll always find me around 😉 no worries
Remember to redeem your rice-cooker come thy faithful year. i will be waiting for ye! ;D
All the best in your studies, Cindy! And have a great time trying out all those ‘unmentionable’ activities!
Maybe after a few years and you’re tired of immersing yourself in bunny boys, i hope you’ll consider making a comeback.
i promise to throw you a party! with TWO rice cookers! oh… and with bunny MEN on the sides. XD
i’ll miss you lots. *hugz*

but yeah >< there's always a good ending to everything nice, so good luck to your future and please do drop by the blog again!! thank you for making snsdkorean such a great place!
Nuuuuuu you’re leaving D: Thank you for starting this awesome blog and making it very unique.
Once a SONE, always a SONE…so I know you’ll still keep yourself update.
College kick butt so you better do well now that it has your full attention! hahaha XP
Thank you for the hard work :*) I’ve been a reader for some time now and I really appreciate your posts! I understand and support your decision; I mean, I would totally work for snsdkorean, but I’m so busy (not to say that I don’t have the skills for it, probs :p) so thank you for maintaining this for so long~
Good luck in life fellow SONE, you’ll be missed :*) We’ll never forget your posts and please post again when you feel the burning spirit of inspiration! LOL~
I’ve been a lurker for a long time but I like this site’s take on SNSD fandom, it’s a different kind of insane. You did a great job.
I hope you do a yearly post at least.
This doesn’t mean you won’t be coming back right? Or does it.. No matter what though, I sincerely thank you for starting this blog together with Maria (that’s her name right?). I haven’t been very updated with snsd and this site lately, however, I know you guys are working as hard as possible with hopes of bringing the latest snsd news to us readers. Good luck and I hope you do well in school and.. life, in general lol Be well 🙂
aww that sucks, but I hope you do your best and everything turns out okay.
When you have free time, at least come and post on snsdkorean XD
haha good luck again~!
Hope to hear from you next time XD
we will surely miss u…..but still welcome u! XD
thank you for all yr writing and those updates about snsd……really appreciate it..
SNSD, fighting! Boss Lady, fighting! ^^
thanks for the run and the memories =)
this isn’t a good bye since you’ll still be around! hahaha and i hope you enjoy being a fan again ^^ enjoy your newfound freedom as a sone =)
Boss Lady you are a giant in the SNSD fan community. SNSDKorean has done more to promote SNSD and provide a platform for fans to gather than anyone ever could. To think that the founder who made everything here possible is resigning, it’s a sad day for the SNSD fandom. But such is life, there are always things in life that take precedence over a hobby or an obsession and we respect your decision and wish you the best. You have left some big shoes to fill for whoever that takes over running this site, I hope you can still stay onboard on a limited capacity as an advisor or something. In any case, your precense and contributions will be missed.
You didn’t know it at the time but it was you and sLaVe were the ones who really helped me get into this fandom.
I wish you the best and hope all goes well for you.
Thanks and sorry for everything Boss.
yes, yes, i agree!! i’m really lucky i stumbled on this site b/c you, slave, and snsdkorean really helped me on my way to being a sone. thanks for that! :] i really miss you guys’ crack posts lol
hey thanks for all the wonderful posts…hope u can come back when u r less busy!
Man, how this site has grown! in large part due to your effort, I’m sure. I don’t drop by here as often as I like. I wish I had been more active and had gotten to know everyone more but life throws some curve balls lol. but I just wanted to say, thanks for all the hard work, as always, Cindy. good luck with school and life! don’t stress out too much. and I definitely wish you the best. you will be missed!
Nooooooooooooooooooo~
hi..thanks for giving your time to us this last 3 years hope will see each other soon please comeback if you are not busy anymore.. thank you and goodbye my friend!
maraming salamat at magiingat ka sana palagi!
this means is: thank you and take care always!
OMGGGGGGGGGGG I cannot believe this!!! SIGH !! It’s such a shame that you’re leaving snsdkorean right now.. SKE is not gonna be the same anymore!!!! Wish you the best of luck with your future studies, work & life !! Hope you make a return when I do!! =P

Boss Salute! Thank you for ever having the vision to start a blog for SNSD fans. Most of the times fans are too busy to be sifting through forum pages just to get a quick update so this blog really really helped. So I thank you for founding this great blog. All the best in life Boss!
thanks a lot for your effort and hardwork for the site (and of course your LOVE for the girls as a SONE). . . T_T i hope you’ll join podcast in the future. i also hope that you will give us lots of AEGYO 🙂 *HOPING*
We’ll miss you but thank you for all that you’ve done! XD This site is one of the few places that satisfy my soshi cravings ever since I became a sone. So thanks you for creating it ^^ Best of luck with all your work 🙂
Oh and the blog post did scare me…
hey hey , dun say leave . Just take it as a long break , and when you’re ready to come back , us readers will always welcome you back ^^ There isn’t a need to leave :]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cindy =[
My fellow YulTi shipper T.T i’ll miss ya boss.
Thank you for all the wonderful blogs that you have done for the other sones! ^^ hope u can finish ur studies and never forget SNSD XP and Sones!
Boss Lady, You will surely be blessed.
Thank you for turning me into a truly happy SONE these past 2years.
Your articles fulfilled my daily soshi needs..
I know it wont be the same without reading your articles anymore but im sure that you left to do other great things in your life!
Thank you again. Boss!
OMG BOSS DUN GO AWAY !! I read this site every day and became a hardcore-SONE telling everybody that snsd rocks BECAUSE OF U EXISTED THIS BLOG IN THE FIRST PLACE !! OMG THIS IS MORE SAD THAN NOT EATING BASKIN ROBBIN.
P/S : Best regards on ur studies and we welcome u to join back anytime 🙂 GOOD LUCK THEN ! 😀
I’ve been reading through this blog for some time now – indeed, the first site I visit everythime I get home – but I’ve never posted in here before. I’m really sorry to hear that you’ll be leaving… SNSDKorean has truly taken a great leap through the years.
Best of wishes to you, and thank you so much for everything – hope to see you around, hwaiting! ^^
Thank you very much, Boss Lady (aka Cindy) for starting and nurturing this Wonderful SNSD Blog of yours and making Soshi fans all around the world 😉 😀 !!! I may have started “late” here (approximately 7 months thereabouts since I stumbled on and became a “regular” here), but the wonderful people here and Great Soshi news updates (subbed, of course :D) on a regular basis have turned me into a TRUE BLUE DIE-HARD SONE <3333 !!! Your achievements here is nothing short of Amazing, turning your "simple" fan-blog into the Number 2 Google search results choice when one types in "SNSD" into the Google search box 😉 ! Your Blog counter currently reads about 19 million + "friends" and counting !!! For a 3 year + blog on just a single (albeit AWESOME) K-Pop group, it certainly is a GREAT ACHIEVEMENT in my books 😀 😀 😀 !!!
So, yeah, although I'm a little "shocked" by the "sudden" announcement of your "retirement" from the blog (hopefully temporary 🙂 ), I do understand that "life" takes precedence over "fandom" and so I wish you All The Very Best in your studies and social life 😀 😀 😀 !!! May The Good Lord Bless You Always and Watch Over You, Boss Lady (Cindy). You've certainly made a SONE and Fan of SNSDKorean of me in this short period of time that I've frequented the blog, and I'm known to be loyal to causes I believe in 😉 ! I'll support the blog always in its future endeavours and look forward to the day when you can return to helm it again 😀 ! SNSDKorean FIGHTING !!!!!!!
Hey there~ I’ve never commented but, now is the time? Thank you very much for your effort and hardwork in this blog. I’ve started reading this site only a few months back, but, everytime I on the com, its one of the site that I’ll DEFINITELY visit! 😀 This site really serves my soshi addiction. The drug that suffices my addiction. (:
Good luck for your studies~ I hope you’ll join back soon ^^
awwwwwww. wae? 😦 This is such a great site that you guys run. thanks for your hardwork, boss lady. if you do have time again, please come back~ good luck with you life outside SKE. 🙂
No, no, no…this isn’t right. Who’s gonna be the Lady Boss then?? 3+years and gone like that? Please come back…soon. Don’t just disappear and not come back. We will miss you…Lady Boss.
what dude,,, i just comfortable with this blog
but we must decide our opportunity
JJANG DAEBAK AWESOME
Au Revoir, Madame Boss Lady. (First attempt at typing French.)
I hesitate to resort to writing emotional comments that express our heartfelt thanks, gratitude and appreciation because I dislike it reflecting on my true character to others and it doesn’t seem natural of me at all. But, oh what the heck, screw my rational demeanour. Might as write something for this occasion.
It seems that what I’ve wanted to say in wishing Boss Lady all the best of luck in her “journey” has already been said by supportive SONEs’ before me and I don’t want to repeat the obvious, so… I’m just going to type my own arbitrary comment just for the fun of it.
…Yea, the creator of this wonderful and undeniably awesome blog has decided to resign and we’re reluctant to see her go after sticking with us for so long. But as she has more pressing matters to deal with, it can’t be helped and I knew a day like this would come eventually. She may have left us but she’ll always be remembered by the community of SONEs’ that follow this blog in our hearts forever/who knows for how long. That’s what a legacy is for.
It’s unfortunate and a little saddening that Boss Lady has to leave us in the midst of… I don’t know. But since she’ll always be remembered, acknowledged, never forgotten. It opens up an opportunity to look forward to what the future has in store for us, and perhaps Boss Lady will come back to visit this blog in a few months time and will be amazed at how much it has grown in her absence. While she has definitely left us some pretty big shoes to fill, I’m certain the abilities of the staffers should suffice in order to do what it takes as a competent leader and live up to the name of “Boss” in order to run this site at its maximum potential, and it also has the incontrovertible long-standing support of the SONEs’ that follow the blog all the way.
By this point, I really don’t know what to say any more, and have decided to end my comment in an abrupt fashion, since other SONEs’ commenting on this page pretty much sum up what I wanted to say and other points which I’ve probably never thought of yet. However, one thing is for certain: the unanimous goodbyes and well-wishes of everyone as a parting gift for Boss Lady.
We’ll sorely miss you.
Abrupt endings FTW.
apriL 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all non korean speaking/reading SNSD fans all over the world owe you a lot cindy. thank you so much for everything, and also for leaving something of a legacy. i sure hope this site will keep on going forever. FOREVER9_<'
Aissh~ The Legendary Boss Lady will be missed. Bon Voyage~
To the Boss Lady .
My utmost respect and approbation.
My eternal gratitude and benediction.
May all your forthcoming enterprises be fortuitous and edifying.
Wae oh wae? I know it must have been tough for you cause I am in your shoes now. I’m a staff at two forums and I’ve been busy since this year started and I’ve been thinking to resign too. I don’t know what to do now 😦
PEACE! I hope all the best to you! And I’ll keep supporting this website!! :)))))) <3333
THANK you for all your hard work BOSS
WE WILL MISS YOU!
it doesn’t seem like an april fool joke to me. =(
bye boss lady….it was sad that you have to resign…i’ve been your fan but wow you resign now..i was wish you’re just take a rest not resign….but if it good for you we all support it….boss lady wish you all the best…..and keep on fighting…..^^, and boss lady SARANGHAE!!!LOVE yOU!!!SONE forever…

THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING SITE.
WILL MISS YOU AND YOUR POSTS.
BOSS LADY FIGHTING!!
Thanks so much for the blog and all the work you have done so far.
I wish you the best.
Bonne continuation^^
AWW TT-TT Boss Lady! Hwaiting!~
boss lady you will be missed and i am thankful that you created such a site.
hopefully you’ll stop by once in a while to say hi on a rainy day.
Dearest Cindy:
Thank you for creating this wonderful site known as snsdkorean, and bringing me into the snsd fandom in doing so. It’s been lots of fun working with you, and I’m sure there will be more opportunities in the future. =)
Best of luck with all that you pursue in life, but remember it’s the simple things that matter most.
Please take care, and ‘Chin up, pull through.’
Omg wae leave? … I guess it’s understandable since studying is always top priority :’)
As mentioned by others, a big THANK YOU for starting this wonderful site; it helped me in knowing the SoNyuhs AND k-pop better (starting about 6 months ago)
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT, and please do contribute from time to time. We’ll miss you! 🙂
Hey Cinders,
I won’t say I didn’t see this coming at some point down the track (talking myself up here), so good luck to you on all your future ventures. You’ve had a prosperous run and I can’t imagine who else could do a better job of creating and bringing SNSDKorean to the stage that it’s currently at. You, along with your forever supportive if constantly changing team, brought the SONE community closer together.
You know, I was going to bring up the fact that it was April 1st over here when this was posted, but you live in the past, so I won’t look into it too deeply. I’m a tad disappointed since I stopped talking to the team here. I’ve lost any sense of humour I once had. Without the Cindyquil around, I can only keep going downhill, huh? Let’s not leave it at this, though. Hit me up some time and I can lighten the load on you by getting that Bieber kid out of your head. I’m sure you’ll have some way without me throwing around details.
Once again, much luck to you with your final exams and life in general. The next time we see you, I expect you to have some sweet, sweet arm candy when we see you next. Yes, I said “candy” just for you, because apparently “lollies” sounds weird. Go figure. Just so you know, Maria does count as sweet, sweet arm candy, but she’s a special case.
Tarnation, now I’m going to have to start using Formspring again. Fun fun fun, but not really. All for you.
Okay, I think that’s enough stalker talkhahahahah yes formspring me awayyyyy everyone 🙂
