Chapter 253: Anniversary, Letter, Wish, and Oath
"5 August 2007. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info a hot summer.
I can't remember what the weather was like that day, I can't remember what I ate that day, and I can't remember anything else special that happened.
There is only one thing I remember clearly. That is, there is a group of 9 girls who made their debut in Girls' Generation.
For the first time, they appeared before my eyes, in front of the world.
At first, I thought it was just another girl group debut.
I thought it was just a couple of 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 perform on stage.
After that day, I fell in love with Girls' Generation.
I still can't describe the feeling and amazement I felt when I saw their beautiful singing performances accompanied by perfect dance steps. I realized that this talented group must have worked very hard to come through, just to perform in front of everyone.
I feel ashamed to think that such young girls are already crying and sweating for their dreams.
We think we know about them, but we don't. All we see is the image of Girls' Generation in their performances.
We don't know what they're thinking, when they're laughing and when they're crying. The girls are doing the same for us. They don't know who we are, either.
Still, despite this, we are still alive under the name "One". (Refers to the long-cherished "wish", the meaning of oneness)
We who don't know each other have the strength to live under such a name because there is a love that binds us to girlhood.
The reliable captain of the 10,000-year-old child, our imp captain Taeyeon.
Tiffany, who gives a healing gift to those who are tired of life with a shining smile, shines brighter than a gemstone.
Jessica, the iceberg princess with the coldest appearance but the hottest heart.
YuRi, a black pearl who draws smiles for the members and fans with her cheerfulness.
Bright Princess Xiuying, who is as talented as she is tall.
Isaac is the vitality that gives us motivation, Sunny.
Dancing Queen Hyoyeon, who has the most handsome dance.
Like a nickname, with clear eyes and a kind heart, Hanaka Yuna.
Although he is the youngest, he is mature and never rests, and he is cute and busy with Xu Hyun.
These 9 girls are the precious beings who live with us under the name "One".
They gave us a lot. They give us a place to rest when we're tired.
Their smiles bring us so much joy. When our studies are not going well and our work is not happy, we see hope when we look at the girls. This hope allows us to continue our efforts. They give us love and allow us to work harder to enjoy life.
I really don't know how to repay this precious gift.
That's why we believe in them.
We are confident that they will step by step towards the top of the glorious peak. It's not going to be an easy ride. There will be pain, there will be sadness, and maybe a lot of tears will have to be shed.
But I believe that no matter how difficult it is, Girlhood will not give up. I believe that no matter how many obstacles lie ahead, they will stick to their dreams and will continue to have fans who support them all over the world. One day they will be the best and the best.
The best gift we can give to Girls' Generation before that day comes is to block out all obstacles with our unwavering love.
Our 9 most precious girls. We don't need you to give us a lot.
Even if you don't stand on the champion seat, your sweat and tears are enough for us to shine a light on us forever.
What we really want is for all 9 of you to be healthy and well, free from every illness and pain, without any sad things, and live happily with a smile.
Seeing your happy smiles and not letting sorrow take away you for a minute is the only thing we want.
A year has passed, and girlhood still has a long way to go.
From now on, in return for the precious gift you have given us, we intend to go with you.
Just as you have given us a place to rest, we will be your haven.
The incredible love you have given us, we have to reciprocate with more and more love.
We plan to smile with Girls' Generation in the final moment.
Until that day comes, please continue to be that girlhood who works tirelessly and does her best at all times.
Please pursue your dreams diligently.
And don't forget that we're right next to you.
With all my heart, on this day of your 1st anniversary, I congratulate you on spreading your wings and flying into the sea of stars!
I bless this day. This is the day we have been your long-cherished wish.
Since you appeared a year ago, there hasn't been a second in which you are not our most precious being.
We love you, the most precious gift of this life - Girlhood.
2 August, 2008
To Our Beloved Girls' Generation"
Park Taeyan put down the microphone with his hand, looked at the 8 girls with red eyes, and slowly retreated towards the audience.
Today is the day of their first anniversary, and as a fan representative, he just read an open letter to the girls for them, of course, such a sensational letter will not be written by him.
Returning to his seat and looking at some fans around him who were crying with red eyes and girls, Park Tae-yeon didn't know what expression to make, and it was the second time this happened today.
When the girls thanked their fans just now, it started with Sunny. When she arrived at YuRi, she couldn't hold back her tears, and fans shouted "Don't cry, don't cry!". Even Xu Xian began to cry at this shout. The girls' tears began to infect the entire venue, and many fans cried along with the girls when they told them not to cry.
It's a little flawed, Park Tae-yeon couldn't help but complain to herself, she didn't have much contact with Yuna throughout the summer vacation, otherwise she would have found a way to adjust with the crew, and she would never have been absent from such an important moment.
Although a video was recorded, Sika also called Yun'er directly to connect at the scene, and listened to the girls say that Yun'a, who had been nervous about the show recently, hadn't been back to the dormitory for a long time.
The small theater began to turn into a sea of pink again, although he had seen the more shocking Red Sea, but the girls on the stage should have seen the pink sea for the first time.
It looks like the girls who started with Sunny and talked about their feelings about today again, saying that they thanked their fans for protecting them, and hoped that they would not leave Girls' Generation when they were happy or sad.
When it was Taeyeon's turn, Park Tae-yeon looked at her who hadn't cried until now, took the microphone and began to cry silently, and tried several times but couldn't speak.
With tears streaming down her face, even her voice changed Parney took the microphone and put one hand around her to thank her.
Listening to the fans constantly shouting, "Don't cry, don't cry~!!", it made Sika and the girls, who were about to speak at the end, cry again.
Park Taeyan is depressed, so she can't cry with them, although the fans at the scene are basically crying with them.
Finally, he concluded by saying that in order for fans to be proud of their long-cherished wish as a girl's generation, they will do their best to protect their long-cherished wishes just as fans protect them.
The commemoration is over.
Looking at the eyes of Kim Taeyeon, who was still looking for the last walk, Park Tae-yeon pouted again.
"Ah, time flies too fast today, I wish you didn't want to go!"
Kim Taeyeon stopped and pretended to be cute under the stage, and after saying that, she pulled Pani and ran away.
The stage lights dimmed, but no one left the theater, because it was not a concert, and everyone couldn't shout "Encore!" The scene was surprisingly quiet.
"Ah~~!" As the familiar prelude sounded, the scene began to cheer again.
"I want to convey it to you, although you will not hear it until after the sad time!"
As Kim Taeyeon's high-pitched voice came out, the stage lights were turned on, and the audience turned into a sea of pink again.
Park Tae-yeon sang "The New World of Reunion" with the girls on stage with the fans
"We're going to be together forever no matter what. ā
In this sentence that the audience sang together, Park Tae-yeon, who officially hung up his long-cherished wish name on this day, looked at the 8 people on the stage, and made up his mind when he swept past Jung so-yeon.
"I'm not going to make you eight, I swear. ā
