Last Words of a SONE to SNSD
The following is a blog/diary entry by a terminally ill SONE in July 2011, just weeks before SNSD’s solo concerts.
To: Girls’ Generation
You will probably never know who I am.. And you will probably never be able to read this.. ^^ But there’s someone who always diligently reposts my words so perhaps there is a chance.
I first saw you… September 2007… such a long time ago, right? I bet you guys must also cringe at how you were back then… Up until then, I had never been a fan of anything… So how did I end up liking you so much?
I became addicted to cigarettes despite having been in ill-health and I came to like you guys so much that I began to regret this, When the first SONE fanclub membership was open… I wondered what the point of going that far would be. To this day, I regret not joining… and last year, I could not because I came down with a sudden illness… I regret so much that I couldn’t be more active in supporting you. I realised too late how amazing it is to hang out with people, the SONE, who loved you and thought dearly of you as much as I did… And 2008, when joy became horror… I had nobody to console or to be consoled by But I stoically waited for you. And when it passed… and I saw the teaser for ‘Gee’ I cried silently.
Thank you.. Thank you so much.. Thank you for returning to our side.. But as you began your activities and I came to see you more often… I began to forget to take care of my own body..
This would have been the first, and last, solo concert that I could have attended.. I’m sorry.. sorry that I don’t even have the strength to attend them now.
From the beginning to the end… I love you all… I wanted to see you… I have never said “Right now, it’s Girls’ Generation” to you… And so from now on, as long as my eyes are open and I still breathe, I will keep regretting…
I am not sad that I may have to go to America… You guys are really famous now… no matter where I go, I can still hear news about you.
To you… I am just one of the hundreds of thousands of SONE… In a concert arena, I am just one of the hundreds of SONE chanting for you… On your birthday, I’m just one of the the hundreds of SONE writing letters to you…
Despite all that, I still like it all… Because I feel your love… I feel myself thinking so dearly of you, loving you… Have I ever been a fan of anything this much in my life? In the precious little time I have left, will I stop being this much of a fan ? I don’t think so.
You know, even if I’m just one of Hundreds of thousands… hundreds… I don’t mind. SONE who say “I love you all forever”… These really are the amazing people… I don’t know if anyone else will see me like this, too… But however I appear… but SNSD! You… all you need to know is this: No matter where you are, no mater what you do… We will be cheering you on. Congratulations on your second solo concert… and I hope that you will stay healthy this year, too. From, a SONE among hundreds of thousands
This person successfully got the tickets to the concert, but was unable to attend. This was because they had to go to America on July 23rd for a last-chance medical treatment, with the SONE saying that this may be the end of the road. We have not heard from them since.
I have been asked to spread this as wide as possible. K-SONE are doing their part and spreading this post… so that SNSD can read the final words of a person who loved them so dearly and fulfill the dying wishes of a fellow SONE.

Was recently reading stuff on the net and came across the translated version of a diary of a sone who recently passed away and was quite touched, teared up a couple of times, thought it might be good to share my thoughts on it here~~really made me tear up...reminded me what being sone is about...supporting them, and cheering them on, even if you cant be actually there, laughin and crying with the girls...lets keep our luv for the girls strong (another one of the hundred thousand sones our there, supporting in my ownw way) ^^ heres the trans---
[Trans] 'A SONE's last diary' -- By a sone who just passed away some time ago.
To. SNSD. Perhaps you all will never know me in my entire life.. And perhaps the day you all will be reading this will never come.. ^^ But because there are people consistently reblogging my post, there may be some day when you will see this.
When I first saw you.. September 2007.. It was really long time ago, right? When I think of then, you all weren’t so popular back then were you? Until then, I had never been a fan of anyone… But how, did I actually fall in love with you all like this?
Since young my body was weak but I was still addicted to things like smoking, the sense of regret was so much, as much as how I started to like you. When they started recruiting Sone for the first time.. I told myself, is there a need for me to do it to such an extent. But until today, I’m still regretful of it.. Because I found out that I’m diagnosed with disease last year… I was never this regretful.. Regretful of how I cannot be actively following you all, regretful of how I cannot be like other Sones, who like you and cherish you as much as me.. Just because I knew it too late.. Then in 2008, when sorrow and joy met... I waited for you all silently, even though we cannot do anything for each other. Days passed like this.. Until I saw the Gee teaser, my tears flowed, without a word.
I’m grateful.. Really grateful.. Grateful that you came back to our side again. But because I was wanted to see you all so much during activities, and wanted to keep updated to you all so much.. I neglected my body and health…
Then it was the first time, and the last time, I saw you all at the concert.. But I’m sorry that the memories faded, just like how I’m fading away right now..
From the start until now, my love for you all is really strong.. I missed you.. I’ve never said “Right now it’s Girls’ Generation” to you all before… I will be regretful every single day, when my eyes are still open, still breathing, and still alive..
Yet I don’t regret it when I say I’m going to America.. Because you all became so popular… I can hear news about you anywhere I go.. Being one of the hundreds of people screaming towards you in the concert hall.. Being one of the hundreds of people writing letters to you on your birthdays..
Even though it’s like this, I’m still happy. For I can feel the love you all are giving us.. For I myself can feel how much I cherish and love you all.. Have I ever been so crazy as a fan before? Can I ever be so crazy as a fan again for the rest of my limited number of days? I definitely won’t…
I mean.. Even if I’m just one among the few hundred thousand people.. I won’t mind.. Because I’m among one of the great sones who always say that we love you.. Although I don’t know if I will be like this in someone’s eyes.. In any case... SNSD! For you all.. Knowing this is enough.. We will.. always be supporting you all no matter where you are at, whatever you do.. Congratulations for your 2nd tour… This year, I also pray that you all will be healthy and will not fall sick.
One among the hundred thousand sones..

The greatest lover will always be the ones who have been hurt countless of times. It is because of going through such pain that the wish to ensure that others do not go through the same amount of pain is stronger than ever thus the limitless love poured out.
Thanks for the translation..
I'm so sorry to hear that..
I cry when i read the diary..
So touching..
SNSD will proud to have SONE like him..
Let's pray for him SONE!
May he rest in peace there
Wow. This is so touching. I almost cry.
SONES, read this while playing Complete. This is really touching.
May you rest in peace fellow Sone. I hope the girls can read his/her story.
Gives me goosebumps reading it. I wish he had a longer life so he can cheer for the girls for a longer time.
This really made me cry. May his soul rest in peace. What a great SONE
#lifeofasone
Omg :'( Sigh, I hope that the girls will bump around the forums and bump into this specific one. Why? Because he is a die hard sone. A true fan. I guess the girls was his role model, and literally his inspiration to keep on living. :'( I hope he rests in peace. <3
This is really heart-breaking. You can feel every word he or she wrote this, his / her love towards to our girls touched our hearts.
We may not know him / her but.. he / she is like us too. He / She is a SONE, he / she is a true SONE.
The impact of his / her love was all in here, in this diary. I just hope that one day, the girls will read this, he / she will probably be glad if that will happen.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us...it's very touching and so sad even his time was limited but he still spent it to love them...T.T as a fellow sone i can just pray for him to rest in peace...

<<< Taeyeon: "Personal log. Today's date. It was only yesterday when news of a remnant Vorlon presence was discovered in the newly explored part of the galaxy. We all assumed according to history, all of the Vorlons left beyond the rim along with the First Ones and the Shadows hundreds of years ago during President Sheridan's time right before the establishment of the Interstellar Alliance. Going through the historical records, I came across a hidden file buried in the archives, as if someone from the past wanted a worthy person with the correct intelligence to successfully unlock, so its story can be known. It was called Third Space during Babylon 5's time during the Civil War against President Clark. Reading through the reports, it surprised me to know that there were factions within the Vorlon Civilization back then. The way history described them and the Shadows as unified species with their own goals to govern others."
<<< It is the dawn of the 9th Age Of Mankind. Nine hundred years after the Earth-Minbari War. The Babylon Project was reborn. It's goal is to create a place where humans and aliens continue to work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomas, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens, wrapped in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, a shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our continuing best hope for peace. This is the story of everlasting Babylon stations. The year is 3158. The name of the place is Soshi Babylon 9. ^.^
<<< Imagines Soshi Babylon 9, . . . ^_^ Taeyeon as Commander Taeyeon, Tiffany as Lieutenant Commander Tiffany, Hyoyeon as Security Chief Hyoyeon, Jessica as Lieutenant Jessica, Sooyoung as Chief Medical Doctor Sooyoung, Yoona as Resident Telepath Yoona, Sunny as Ambassador Sunny of the Narn Regime, Yuri as Ambassador Yuri of the Centauri Republic, Seohyun as Ambassador Seohyun of the Minbari Federation, Emperor Ryu as Ambassador Ryu of the Vorlon Empire, Victoria as Psi-Cop Victoria, Amber as Psi-Cop Amber, Luna as Ranger Luna, Sulli as Rogue Telepath Sulli, Krystal as Techno Mage Krystal, BoA as Alpha Leader Captain BoA, Dana as Delta Leader Captain Dana, J-Min as Zeta Leader Captain J-Min, Irene as Direct Attache Irene of the Narn Regime, Wendy as Diplomatic Attache Wendy of the Centauri Republic, Joy as Personal Aide Joy of the Minbari Federation, Seulgi as General Seulgi of Earth Force, Yeri as Second Lieutenant Yeri.
<<< R.I.P. Mira Furlan. In Valen's name, go in peace beyond the rim, . . . she will join her dear friends and beloved family who've already gone to that Heavenly place. T_T She will be missed so very much.
<<< The facts about Black Pink just smashed their ugly faces into the walls of their deluded minds when they released an article that specifically stated Jisoo, Rose, and Lisa are into the cute guys, while Jennie is into the sexy ripped muscular guys!!! Black Pink is STRAIGHT!!! That website must've hired a whole bunch of uneducated heterophobes who want to sinfully convert straight people to be like their twisted selves to prevent humanity's existence because they're anti-lifers, when for the fact, Black Pink just want their fans to be happy. ^_^
<<< *Imagines Yoona earning her Chicken Dinners in PUBG Mobile* ^.^ All of the players in her lobby will be honored to just line up to be sacrifices for her stats. ^.^
(10:13:22 PM)Want some PURE 999quintillion iconic Esports moments of pure awesomeness- It’s a Dissssaaaassstttaaaahhhh... https://m.youtube.co...h?v=3ElXGllTpp0
<<< Lee Juno, . . . https://www.youtube....h?v=5-vkYEW8VKk Is well aware of his circumstances with the law, and this is the only piece left of his famed music video for this track.
<<< Please note in their discussions in the comments, not a single biden supporter presented any factual evidence to back their ridiculous claims. ^_^ Just insults and personal attacks. So sad they are. v_v
<<< It's so nice to see educated and well-informed K-Pop Fans who completely understand and help educate these so-called K-Pop stans who don't know Biden and Kamala at all. ^.^
<<< Biden apologies and still keeps doing the same wrong thing, that's what these so-called K-Pop stans never noticed because the mainstream media never bothered to cover it because they hated Trump so much for the stupidest reasons ever. By the way, Trump apologized too, but no, they don't want to believe it either.
<<< However, some of 20 orders are pushing out women's rights, mutilating human beings, namely children and adolescents, pushing more racism where racism doesn't exist, wasting money on climate change, and making biden, kamala, and this administration a bunch of hypocrites when they remove their facemasks every single time. ^_^ Wow. How incredibly dumb these so-called K-Pop stans can become so quickly.
<<< The 10 Executive Orders sleepy, creepy joe signed out of the 30 orders in his first 3 days that I've just mentioned are the only orders that reversed Trump's Orders. The other 20 didn't do anything to Trump's good work as President Of The United States Of America! ^.^
<<< And childish Biden undoes needed regulations for the Office Of Management And Budget because biden and kamala wants another terrible economy to continue the economically oppress of minorities in the U.S.
<<< Decreased law enforcement abilities to arrest illegal criminals inside the U.S. Again, the democrats and these terrible biden supporters only see racism, not the criminality these individuals bring illegally into the U.S. borders.
<<< Ends the Terrorists Travel Ban from 7 foreign countries. Noticed who inclusive the insane democrats are when including terrorists who want to kill Americans. They only see racism. My, oh my, how dumb these so-called K-Pop stans are.
<<< The U.S. Census will now include non-citizens, basically messing up the Census because it's now going to be counted for people from other countries who don't live in the U.S. Just how much dumber can these biden supporters get?
<<< Re-writing U.S. History from the true 1776 History to fit a more racists narrative to keep racism alive through the false 1619 Project. For a bunch of so-called K-Pop stans who call Trump a racist are actually racists themselves for voting and supporting racist biden and racist kamala.
<<< Ended the Keystone XL Pipeline sideswiping Canada in the face in the Energy Business. I'm definitely sure every Canadian who works in the oil industry and were biden supporters, just switched to truly #ImpeachBidenNow. ^.^
<<< U.S. rejoining the Paris Climate Accord that'll ruining the current U.S. economy according to every major economists in the world. Pretty self-explanatory this one, but I don't expect any biden supporter even cares. Such idiots.
<<< The U.S. rejoining the China-owned W.H.O. (World Health Organization.), whom basically messed up with the initial coronavirus responses while it was going globally before Trump issued travel bans, and racists democrats calling him a racist and xenophobic, while telling people to join them at Chinatown parties in public without facemasks.
<<< Paving a way for 2+ Million businesses to go out of business because of the raising of the minimum wage to $15 per hour, because these businesses cannot pay out their employees, meaning smaller businesses will now stay dead and never to come back, think all of those vacant business shops become more and more empty spaces and lots with nobody around at all.
<<< Funny to read the comments by these deluded Biden supporters in one of those uneducated K-Pop Media websites. ^_^ So amusing and so very funny. ^.^
<<< Jack Dorsey even admitted they just set a dangerous precedent by banning President Trump on twitter, that the rest of the world governments immediately noticed and already taking action against them and every big tech social company. lmao! ^.^
<<< So, only a photo of 28 so-called K-Pop stans who just admitted to be totally brainwashed by the Satanic Democrats and their Media in these 2 articles? Are you kidding us all by making it sound like I am one of those people??? Just how stupid are these employees at these K-Pop Media websites???
<<< Knows a whole lot of K-Pop Fans in the U.S. and around the world, and knows for a fact, South Korea are a huge overwhelming majority are Trump Supporters. ^.^
<<< Media articles who are in desperate need for boost up their vanity and sinful priding egos along with those two K-Pop Media websites be lying again about K-Pop Fans.
<<< #BlueLivesMatter and #WhiteLivesMatter never died and were never taken over, and still on the biased platform, truth be told. ^_^ Such weak sauce from these morons.
(06:12:13 AM)Revelation 2:17 "Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it."
(06:08:19 AM)Revelation 3:12 "The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name."
<<< Swears most of these male K-Pop artists are suffering so badly to be put through all of these insane themes that are definitely not worthy of rites of manhood.
