On a recent MBC ‘Golden Fishery” TV programme, aired on the 18th of May 2011, an interesting tidbit was revealed vis-a-vis the mental resolve of the South Korean soldier in dealing with crises.
In that particular episode, Sung Si Kyung, a well-known K-pop ballad singer, radio DJ and TV host explained how important our angelic 9 were to maintaining the mental resolve of the South Korean troops.
Sung Shi Kyung said that the soldiers had pasted photos of our 9 ladies from SNSD in their locker cabinets and “talked” to them whenever they were stressed and faced any difficulties.
Of the 9, YoonA was a perennial favourite and many soldiers poured out their woes to her photos. Sung Shi Kyung thought that it was really funny, but the troops were dead serious about it and felt that by doing so, it gave them the strength to face adversities and carry on. SNSD really gave them a lot of energy.
Isn’t it good to know that our girls are still able to comfort and encourage others, even though they may not be there physically ;). SNSD JJANG !!!
(Personally, I prefer this image as a morale booster 😀 )

it applies to sg army too! 😀 no need for red bull to give you wings, just the 9 angels to bless you haha

whenever i feel stress or nothing gets right, i would just open my collection of their video or MVs and watch it
and i feel much more better! (its my xperience..XD)
SNSD, fighting! ^^
🙂 snsd is driving force 🙂
i feel full of energy whenever i listen to their songs 😀
i had SNSD cards held in my wallet during my off-shore island army training, SG BMT!! they gave me lots of power and strengths to train well!!
SNSD HWAITING !! angelic 9 forever!! ❤ ❤
any tiffany poster would very well be my ultimate morale booster! 😀
Tiffany always is my best VIta-C! She cheers me up and brightens up my mood. I’ll look at her pictures whenever I’m sad or facing difficulties..Oh! No, I should say, She’s on the wallpaper of my mobile phone..So I get to see her whenever I want. =D
She accompanies me when I’m alone. =) Thanks Fany Unnie! =D
I love you Pany! ❤ *SNSD JJANG*
also whenever im stressed out ill just watch their variety shows and listened to their songs and nothing gets better than those :))
nothing strange about it. i talk to yoonA all the time when i want to be happy. when i want to be reminded of responsibilites i talk to taeyeon, when i need to smile, just play back the old tiffany eye smile. when i want to be crazy i look to yuri. and the rest…gosh..i talked to them all the time. its good to know im not the only sane person in the world…
snsd fighting….
p.s trying frantically to learn korean, so that i can converse better with taeyeon, everytime i speak to her, she falls down laughing…isk3…
Talking to their pics?
i do that sometimes though.. XD
helps a lot too.
Our girls are angels! jjang!
ohmegosh. that Fany wallpaper. so heavenly!
Ken ur such a Fanytastic hahahaa can u try one post without fany for a change? LOL
In addition to giving and telling us his honest thoughts on how he views this particular set of news, he leaves a ‘lil bit of harmless love with a picture of Tiffany at the end of the post to sort of exemplify his point that most SONEs turn to their favourite member as a form of support. Seemingly obvious as mentioned from the title itself: “The Secret Element Behind A Soldier’s Resolve.”
Nevertheless, I find the lighthearted gesture to be kind of cute and soothing, to say the least.
And quite literal too.
Gabe2x do have good point. Before I have no idea who SK staff bias for who. Now I worry this become TNSDKorean site. But I like all 9 SNSD girls.
@Gabe2x…LOL!!
@undacova, i can’t blame Kenneth though…if this was SUNSDKorean, i’d love it =)
Yep, the tiffany pic does the trick all the time.
they r like essential nutrients that play a major roll in our life ^_^ SNSD’s Energy pills 4 the soldier
Just imagine Korea without SNSD.. the soldiers won’t be healthy ’cause there’s no energy pill for ’em, and without soldiers, Korea would be taken from Korean people.. LOL I really imagined that
I totally agreed with him HAHA seemed like it the same phenomenon among the soldiers for the different countries.
It isn’t just Sooth Korean soldiers who rely on these ladies. People from all walks of life, from many places around the world can look to their favorite angel for inspiration. My angel is Soo Young.
Omg Im serving my national service now in Singapore and im doing the exact same thing with my locker xD Ok i don’t really talked to the pictures lol. But i totally spam my locker doors and mirrors with SNSD pictures, both groups and individuals, mainly SUNNY & Tiffany hahaha! And just by looking at them, they give me great strength and motivation whenever i feel stressed out anytime in army. <3<3<3
We should post a collage of the pictures in every soldier’s locker around the world and send it to them.
🙂
The Power of Nine cannot be underestimated, no matter where we are or what we do.
I can definitely relate; I’m only 19, and I haven’t served in the military (and don’t plan to), but this past semester in college I went through a really depressed and dark time in my life. Psychologist and the whole deal. It was not academic work or pressure, but rather troubles at home/family and my future. SoShi was really the only thing that kept me going…the only incentive I had, and they are what kept me from doing “bad things”. Power of nine! Power of SoShi!!!!!!!
SOSHI FIGHTING!!!
