• Girls' Generation's Sooyoung, Who Posted A Photo On Instagram Which Made Fans Cry, Explains Why

    A long sentence posted by Girls' Generation's Sooyoung made the fans who have supported them for 15 years cry.

    On August 23rd, Sooyoung posted a long post on her Instagram, starting with "I don't know why it's so lonely to post these pictures, maybe because I feel like I'm done with a music show that was like a festival, but I want to write down a few words I wanted to say."

    As for the reason why Girls' Generation's comeback took a while, Sooyoung said that the preparation period for the album became longer as they tried to reinforce that message because what they say became more important than what kind of music they came out with.

    Sooyoung said, "We've grown so much and now we're going to deliver this kind of message to Sowon, who has been waiting for a whole group that may or may not come for a long time . It was a message that conveyed the sincerity.”

    Sooyoung said that before the album was released, she compromised again between "what she wanted to do" and "what she could do," and there were moments when she had "doubts" about "sincereness."

    However, Sooyoung expressed her gratitude to the fans, saying, "Watching everyone cheering with the loudest voices in the world as if they had been waiting for this time to come out, I thought it was you, not us, who completed the message."

    He continued, "It seems to be saying, 'Now, still, and in the future, we will be here', so those short, dreamlike three days filled the void of the long five years."

    Girls' Generation released their 7th full-length album 'FOREVER 1' on the 5th and performed activities. The whole stage was presented at various music broadcasts and SM Town concerts, collecting topics.

    Sooyoung said, "When I see the members singing on stage, I feel the magic of turning my fleeting suspicion into a firm conviction and trust. . Let's be forever. Jingle girls," he expressed his affection for the members.

    At the same time, Sooyoung released a group photo of Girls' Generation that she took with the members during this promotion. The appearance of each of them proudly showing off their charms caught everyone's attention at once. 

    Fans who saw this commented, "I cried while watching it alone", "My idol forever", "It's even more touching because I'm getting older with Soshi".

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
