“August 5, 2007. A hot summer.

I forgot what the weather was that day, what I ate that day, and I can’t remember what other special things happened that day.

There is only one thing I remember clearly. That is, there is a group of 9 girls who debuted in Girls' Generation.

They appeared in front of my eyes for the first time, in front of the world.

At first, I thought it was just another female group debut.

I thought it was just a few girls of similar age who started their music careers under the name Girls' Generation.

A few days later, I saw this group called Girls' Generation performing on stage.

After that day, I fell in love with Girls' Generation.

I still can't describe the mood and amazement I felt when I saw their performance with beautiful singing with perfect dance steps. I only realized that this talented group must have worked hard to come over just to perform in front of everyone.

I feel ashamed when I think of such young girls crying and sweating for their dreams.

We thought we knew them, but we actually didn't. All we saw was the image of Girls' Generation in their performances.

We don’t know what they are thinking, when they laugh or when they cry. The girls are the same for us. They don’t know who we are.

However, despite this, we are still alive with the name "one". (referring to the "wish" of long-cherished wish, which means oneness)

We who don’t know each other have the power to live under such a name are because there is a love that closely connects us with the Girls’ Generation.

The reliable captain with a long-lasting baby face, our captain Taeyeon.

Tiffany, who gives people who are tired of life a gift of spiritual healing, shining than a gem, with a shiny smile.

Jessica, the coldest-looking iceberg princess, who is the hottest-hearted.

The black pearl yuri who painted a smile on his fans with his cheerfulness as his members.

Princess Minglang, who is as talented as tall as her height.

Sunny, the vitality that brings us motivation.

Dancingqueen Hyoyeon, who has the most handsome dance.

Like a nickname, with clear eyes and kind heart, Yoona Kara.

Although it is the smallest, it is mature and never resting, the cute and friendly Seo Hyun.

These 9 girls are precious existences who live with us under the name "one".

They gave us a lot of things. They gave us a place to rest when we were tired.

Their smiles bring us countless joys. When our study is not going well and our work is not happy, we look at the girls and see hope. This hope allows us to continue working hard. They give us love, allowing us to enjoy life harder.

I really don't know how to repay this precious gift.

So we believe them.

We believe that they will step by step towards the top of the brilliant peak. This will not be an easy journey. There will be pain, sadness, and perhaps a lot of tears.

But I believe that no matter how difficult it is, Girls' Generation will not give up. I believe that no matter how many obstacles there are, they will stick to their dreams and continue to have fans who support them all over the world. One day they will be the best and best group.

Before that day came, the best gift we could give to Girls’ Generation was to block all obstacles for them with our unremitting love.

Our 9 most precious girls. We don’t need you to give us a lot.

Even if you are not in the position of champion, the sweat and tears you have put in are enough to illuminate us forever.

What we really want is that you 9 of you are healthy and healthy, without any illness, no sad things, and live happily with a smile.

The only thing we want to see your happy smiles and not let sadness take you away any minute.

A year has passed, and Girls' Generation still has a long way to go.

From now on, in order to repay the precious gift you have given us, we plan to go with you.

Just as you give us a place to rest, we will become your safe haven.

We will repay the incredible love you have given us with more and more love.

We plan to smile with Girls' Generation when we reach the end.

Until that day comes, please continue to be the girl's generation who works tirelessly and does his best at all times.

Please strive to pursue your dreams.

Please don't forget that we are just walking beside you.

I wholeheartedly, on this day of your 1st anniversary, I congratulate you on spreading your wings and flying towards the sea of ​​stars!

I wish this day, this day we will become your long-cherished wish.

Since you appeared a year ago, there has been no second that you are not our most precious existence.

We love you, the most precious gift in life - Girls' Generation.

August 2, 2008

To our beloved girl's generation"

Park Tae-yeon put down the microphone, looked at the eight girls with red eyes, and slowly retreated to the audience.

Today is the day of their first anniversary. As a fan representative, he just read an open letter to the girls. Of course, such a sensational letter would not have been written by him.

Back at the seat, looking at some fans around who were crying with the girls who were red-eyed and crying, Park Tae-yeon didn't know what expression to do. It's the second time today.

Just now, when the girls thanked their fans, it started from sunny. When they arrived at Yuri, she couldn't help crying, and the fans shouted, "Don't cry, don't cry!". This shout even Seo Hyun started to cry. The girls' tears began to infect the entire venue, and many fans cried together when they told the girls not to cry.

It was a little bit of a flaw. Park Tae-yeon couldn't help but blame herself for not contacting Yoona throughout the summer vacation, otherwise she would have to find a way to adjust with the crew and would never allow her to miss such an important moment.

Although a video was recorded, Xika called Yoona directly and connected the cable. He heard the girls say that Yoona, who was nervous about attending the show recently, hasn't been back to the dormitory for a long time.

The small theater has begun to turn into a pink ocean again. Although he has seen the more shocking Red Ocean, it is probably the first time the girls on the stage have seen the pink ocean.

It was also starting from sunny, and I talked about the girls who thought about today again, and told me that I thanked the fans for protecting them, and I hope that I would not leave Girls' Generation whether I am happy or sad.

When it was Taeyeon's turn, Park Tae-yeon looked at her who had never cried so far today. After taking the microphone, she started to cry in a daze. She tried several times but couldn't speak.

Tears were flowing, and even his voice changed. Pani took the microphone, hugged her with one hand and said thanking her.

Listening to the fans keep shouting, "Don't cry, don't cry~!!" Instead, Sika and the girls who were about to speak started to cry again.

Park Tae-yeon was so depressed that he couldn't cry with them, although the fans at the scene were basically crying with them.

Finally, the concluding remark said that in order to make fans proud of their long-cherished wishes as Girls’ Generation, they will do their best to protect their long-cherished wishes just like fans protecting them.

The commemoration meeting is over.

Looking at Kim Taeyeon who was walking the last time, looking around the stage, Park Tae-yeon curled his lips again.

"Ah, today time passes too fast. I wish you don't want to leave!"

Kim Taeyeon stopped and pretended to be cute from the stage. After saying that, she pulled Pani away.

The stage lights dimmed, but no one left in the theater. Because it was not a concert, everyone could not shout "Enke!" and the scene was quiet in surprise.

"Ah~~!" As the familiar prelude sounded, the scene began to cheer again.

"I want to convey it to you, although you can only hear it after the sad time!"

As Kim Taeyeon's high-pitched voice came out, the stage lights also turned on, and the audience turned into a sea of ​​pink again.

Park Tae-young sang "The New World of Reunion" with the girls on stage with the fans

“Anyway, we will be together forever.”

In the sentence sang together by the audience, Park Tae-yeon, who officially named his long-cherished wish on this day, looked at the eight people on the stage and made up his mind when he swept over Jung Soo-yeon.
Chapter completed!
