3…2….1…
BAM! Just like that, another August 5th arrives and Girls’ Generation turns one year older, and so does SONE. It’s an understatement to say that the last few years have been a pleasure, and an understatement to say that we are proud of you. You are the group that everybody doubted, that nobody believed in, yet here you are now, at the very top of K-pop, and all together, completely intact with all nine of you.
Thank you for six years of Taeyeon, who we’ve watched turn from an insecure girl, thrown into leadership and out of her depth, into the capable head of Girls’ Generation. Who has proven time and time again why she was born to do what she does. Who switches from voice-of-an-angel mega-boss to a puppy-loving dork in a matter of seconds.
“I don’t think SNSD as a group will ever be broken apart. Even if after many years have gone by. Even after we get married.” – Taeyeon
Thank you for six years of Jessica, a truly fascinating creature to behold. The girl who started out as an ice princess but who we had the good fortune to see melting. The ‘lazy’ girl who works herself to exhaustion, the insecure-but-confident paradox of a woman.
“That’s right! We’ll protect ‘Girls’ Genertaion’ forever!” – Jessica
Thank you for six years of Sunny, who was always meant for brilliance. The girl with the sharp words and witty retorts, but a heart of gold. The one everyone can talk to, the one everyone trusts, the one who always looks out for everybody. A true professional entertainer, through and through, and an even better friend.
“We had some hard times, but they made us stronger. Those times enable us to really embrace each other like sisters, and our unity kept us going through the hard times, the good times, and the happy times. I am thankful for those times and for the times to come.” – Sunny
Thank you for six years of Tiffany, the bumbling, chatty and kind-hearted American, who we’ve watched turn from a bouncy flouncy child into an intelligent, responsible and classy (and occasionally bouncy flouncy) young woman. The girl with strength beyond words, and the one who believes in SNSD the most.
“There’ll be hardships and fights, but that’s what a family is…honesty, right? So let’s care for one another more, pray more, love more. Why? That’s the advantage of being us! We’re all we have and you’re all I have.” – Tiffany
Thank you for six years of Hyoyeon, who was initially awkward, but as we came to know her turned out to be a sassy, fierce, hilarious and occasionally shy little gangster. Who does what she likes when she likes, and ain’t be takin’ no crap from nobody. The one who SNSD wouldn’t be able to laugh without.
“The nine of us being together is more important than anything else.” – Hyoyeon
Thank you for six years of Yuri. The kkab, tomboyish prankster who turned out to be one of the sexiest people in existence. The sweet sweet girl who never means any harm and just wants to do her best and have fun doing it. Yuri who encourages others just by encouraging herself.
“We really held onto each other and guided each other and pushed each other. I’m so happy we were able to have those precious times together. We’ve been through so much together so lets…together…leap even stronger now. And…I love you.” – Yuri
Thank you for six years of Sooyoung, quick-witted and snarky at first glance, but at second glance the massive softy with her heart on her sleave. The thoughtful Sooyoung who is moved easily to tears, always wants to do right by others and cares just so so much. Sooyoung who, probably moreso than anyone, knows just how far SNSD have come.
“You are as dear to me as family I’ve known all my life, and I can’t imagine my life without you.” – Sooyoung
Thank you for six years of Yoona, the docile-appearing, shy-looking, seemingly mild-mannered girl-next-door ideal woman who turned out to be the soul of a twelve-year-old boy inside a gorgeous woman. Yoona who is full of insecurities and worries but does her best despite them.
“There’s no point in Girls’ Generation if it’s not us nine girls together.” – Yoona
Thank you for six years of Seohyun, whom moreso than any of the others, we have watched grow up. The awkward, quiet teenager who turned into a graceful, elegant woman. The upright child who earns both desbelief and respect at the same time simply by being, the model student who caught the dorky-virus from her unnies.
“Although we are not real sisters, I think we are sisters bonded by fate.” – Seohyun
And thank you, thank you so much for Girls’ Generation. Thank you for this adorable little family that we have seen fight, and struggle, and grow and become so strong. Thank you for letting us be by your side through all the laughter and the tears, the good times and the bad, the triumphs and the struggles. Thank you for being SoNyuhShiDae, and thank you for letting us be your SONE.
We love you, we cherish you, and here is to another chapter in the legend of Girls’ Generation.
If in the next year, the next five years, the next ten years, the next life even, you are still Girls’ Generation, we will still be your SONE.
Congratulations girls!
SNSD Korean 
Great, great post! Touching and meaningful *sniff*… Words cannot express how much I appreciate knowing them in this lifetime of mine. My friends had asked me, “What if you stop loving them one day? What will you do with all albums etc.?” I just simply told them that I won’t, and I never will. SNSD is a life-changer, and one has to experience it to understand it. Thank you so much for writing this post 🙂 #9irls6eneration
You said it. Sone is for life. Forever. I love SNSD so much.
Being a Sone never stops.
Whoever wrote the post has talent. I must said I learned a lot from these girls and from the founder of the company. All of them are hard working people and never choose to give up when hardship hit them. When they firstly started and nobody belief in them, they kept on going until they become a force to be reckoned with and to achieve the status they have now in South Korea and across Asia. I must say I hold a great respect to them because of their perseverance and willingness to stand back up after many trials. I will continue to support them because there are some many life lesson you can learn from other people especially people who have been tested continuously throughout life and continue to achieve breakthrough. I respect and admire these driven people 🙂
Even in Australia, there are fans that support them 🙂
Happy anni girls, I love you
Yup here come the tears
Happy bday snsd!
(ɔ ˘⌣˘)~♡ Dear My Love & SNSD,
Our togetherness will last for eternity (‾▽‾)♥(‾⌣‾)

Happy 6th Anniversary, Girl’s Generation, So Nyuh Shi Dae, SNSD, Shoujo Jidai,,,,,#9irls6eneration
I believe what makes them special 🙂 it is that they work as a team and always go out their comfort zone to try out new concepts. It is because of that they can continue to evolve and not stay at the same point. That’s why they are special because they are continuously working hard towards their goals and that is one point to be proud to be their supporter. 🙂
Truly very touching! Forever a SONE!
Really touching article 🙂 Sones are really awesome.
Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun…what would our lives be without this group of 9 amazing ladies who turned our world upside down and truly made this generation into Girls’ Generation. Happy 6th anniversary, Girls, and you all know that we’ll always be your Sone if you’ll always be our Soshi, right? 😉
And thanks for this awesome post!

Who’d have thought that nine simple girls would go on to change the world?
Girls’ Generation have become symbols of Korea, models for humanity, and inspirations to the world.
Their influence spreads across the globe like some kind of empire and their progress will not be stopping any time soon.
It’s easy to overlook that they really are just nine young ladies who are not so different at all from you or me; they eat, they sleep, they cry, they laugh, they fuss over boys and fashion, make mistakes and get into fights. Yet unlike many of us, they have been put under the most enormous pressure, bestowed with the heaviest of responsibilities and have been through the most exhausting of times.
It is here that they display their most inspiring of charms, which is their bond with each other. They persevere where others would crack because together they are strong. They endure where others would give up because they have each other to keep themselves going. They pick themselves up where others would fall because they have each other to grab on to.
As SNSD celebrates their 6th anniversary, let us remember what it took to get to this point, let us look forward to many more happy moments and perhaps let us even prepare for less happy ones. Finally, let us continue to support the girls as they continue to inspire us with their display of all the most encouraging traits possible for human beings to display: unity, determination, kind-heartedness, and so on. If all of us could learn from these nine goofy girls, the world would truly be a better place.
Let it be so.
Wow 🙂 i believe also the girls will go far in their life 🙂
Be ladies but they stay girls :,D

somebody wrote this on youtube and i’m just copying/pasting this on here. If you are Korean please translate it to Korean so SNSD understands the warning message. It may sound out of context because this topic isn’t related to the las vegas video posted on youtube. Here it is:
(message deleted)
From Rix: I personally believe that such an accusation posted on Youtube is made by a fan who has read one too many fan-fictions or mystery novels. I had to post a reply without revealing the actual message because such things may mislead people who are easily swayed by what they read online. My point is, please keep rumours and speculations as they are. Don’t spread them around like this by posting such things on forums and blogs, because there are some people whom may just believe them and act irrationally. Thanks.
without we realize you girls had left the beautiful trace in our life, and the more we follow that trace, the more we feel that “it’s the life”. i’ll let you girls to invade more my life..

Thumps up 🙂
Girls Generation…wow… 6 years have been passed already 🙂 From an unknown group at the beginning to the stardom status is definitely not something that has been achieved overnight. To become that good, these girls has started their training when they were only 10-12 years old with an average of 5 years of training. Even when they debuted, many people said they could not make it to the top simply the competition of established group are simply too great.
When nobody believe in them, when nobody support them at the beginning, when the competition are tough, when anti-fan hate them. These girls have not given up their goals and their dreams. Sure, it was very difficult at the beginning and nobody can guarantee they can make it. the odds was simply against them since they is more than 15 to 20 new group that are born each years.
When most people gave up on them at the beginning, they kept on going until they succeed. It took them at least 7 years of hard works until they got recognize with their song Gee. All the time when nobody believe in them, they kept on and work hard and dream hard as a team. Therefore, their success did not achieve by accident.
When most people gave up on their dreams they kept on going. It is that kind of work ethic and perseverance that inspire me and that have earned my respect and admiration to them. When you see these kind of people working so hard together as a team towards their it can simply go unnoticed and earned the respect of many people.
I must say they are a role model to me. I learned a lot from them and I respect people who have gone through hardship until they succeed. Such notable people range from Rowling, TVXQ Yunho and Lee Soo Man.
People will be amazed why I put Yunho and Lee Soo Man, it is because both of them has gone through many trial to get to the top of their field. Yunho who has one time being homeless has never give up on his goals which make him a role model of persistence. Lee Soo Man who have once face financial trouble shortly after the Asia Crisis where SM need financing to keep on going where he borrow a loan on his personal basis without guarantee whether or not the company will succeed.
If i can ever get a lesson out of these honorable people, it will be : ” if you ever want to succeed in life and achieve your goals, You will be tested constantly and on a consistent basis. Therefore, we should make friends with failure, criticism, patience and a great dose of hard work.”
Thank you Girls Generations for being such inspiring people.
I wish you all great success and happyness in all area of life.
God Bless you 🙂
