TO ~ Everyone who loves SNSD

Hello… This is SNSD. This is the first time leaving a message on our homepage. We should have greeted you earlier.

Since our debut, for the past 10 months, we received your abundant love, and worked hard and actively promoted till now. We believe that we were able to receive this big love due to the cheers from those who love us.

In retrospect, weren’t there a lot happy memories? Our long awaited and dreamed of debut stage. The first fan meeting of our lives, after our first stage performance. The moment we broke down in tears after winning 1st place on a music program for the first time; winning the new artist award that we envied during our trainee days as other senior artists won them. Starting with ‘Into the New World’, ‘Kissing You’, ‘Baby Baby’ until now. Because we received so much love, we remained joyful despite our busy schedules.

For everyone who gave these gifts of wonderful memories, our fans, thank you.

The past 10 months that we have ran without rest have remained as memories that we cherish, but looking back, there were moments that we regret. These regretful moments have made us more mature and come to many realizations, our inappropriate speech and behavior, misuse of informal speech on broadcast - we would like to send our sincere apologies to everyone who was inflicted with scars by these incidents. In the future, SNSD will be more careful in our speech and behavior.

Once again we would like to thank everyone who have believed in us and loved us. For all our fans who cheer for us anytime and anywhere, holding those pink heart balloons. We don’t think we can find any words that can express our deep gratitude. To express our hearts. With more effort! With all our hearts! We will sing.

We are currently preparing to come back with a new image. In order to give back to everyone who have shown their unchanging love for us, we are studying harder, and putting in more effort. Please look forward to us!~

Always stay healthy and happy!
