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..

Truly a hardcore fan even till death =') My friend, you have my prayers and I wish you find happiness in the afterlife. Bless and watch over the girls from above, right now and forever. I'm sure the girls will acknowledge you

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...

<<< It's almost as bad as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard trying to pass themselves as the Proud Boys in the U.S. in the vain hopes to stir more chaos in the country. That didn't work. In fact, it backfired on them. Guess whose coming for the Guard? Here comes the Proud Boys. Good luck trying to stop them. https://www.youtube....h?v=NIgfiSzCy1o President Donald J. Trump is the only hope in keeping the Proud Boys away from the Guard. They better be praying for his re-election. ^_^ I know, the irony of it all. But back to China, . . . it's best to await confirmations from these artists to be sure everything is clear and factual about these online posts. When that has been established, then we can all move along to the next thing, . . . asking why. ^_^
<<< His f(x) and Cosmic Girls bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Has anyone bothered to inquire and fact check whether or not those online flyers about the Chinese Military supporting North Korea during the Korean Conflict are indeed authentic and not some fabricated propaganda to sow division in the K-Pop Industry? We're they forced to do that online? It's understandable about the historical point about the Chinese Military intervention during the Korean Conflict shifted the balance between the two Koreas' fight. Nobody is disputing that fact. The point of contention is the usage of artists in South Korea to push a narrative that China and North Korea wants to attack South Korea all over again, pushing them all back to Busan. It's understandable for North Korea to be uncomfortable about military drills and exercises happening in the South, but China? That doesn't make sense. Unless China is trying to intimidate South Korea over the coronavirus and make them think not to send any lawsuits against China over the pandemic? If true, how childish.
<<< Terroristic threatening is a crime in the U.S., and there's a fine line when it comes to opinions, giving feedback to businesses, suggestions, joking, throwing an insult, defamation, blackmail, and whistleblowing to report a crime or wrongdoing, all based, and even depended on what type of sense of morality and values are being applied to the circumstance. While the U.S. enjoys the 1st Amendment Right to Free Speech, giving a very wide latitude to say a number of things without being criminal prosecuted, or imprisoned and tormented for a very long period of time, or outright executed to death for it. That classic nursery rhyme about sticks and stones may break the bones, but words will not ever hurt thee. So hopefully, things won't turn out to be some authoritarian child that hasn't grasped the basic fundamentals to properly deal with comments without turning to sadness and despair. But rather sticking to the facts, . . . https://www.youtube....h?v=Dj6UEQoXHSo ^_^
<<< His Red Velvet bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Finally, everything is understood and peace was achieved. ^.^
<<< His S.E.S bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ *Prays for Shoo and her family*
<<< His Mamamoo bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Solar needs to watch this, . . . https://www.youtube....h?v=Isa5c1p6aC0 ^_^ It can be difficult to trace one's blood lineage, unless there's lots of authentic documents proving the bloodline.
<<< His Female Soloist bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ I seriously hope IU doesn't try to blur the lines when it comes to free speech in South Korea. Not to mention blurring the meaning of words and intent like a radical, uneducated SJW, . . . https://www.youtube....h?v=mMtD1ZuqUZg
<<< His Stellar, Wa$$up, After School, Nine Muses, T-ara, Crayon Pop, Dal Shabet, and The Ark bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ There are also the good and memorable times with them too. ^.^
<<< His Red Velvet bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ We're all human. Bad things happen and we all get upset over. Irene apologized so everything should be alright from now on. ^_^ Irene has lots of goodness in her, so it's best to bring that out more into the world than the bad. ^_^ In a word, maturity. If we all agree that past incidents are not good and should be avoided at all cost in the present and in the future, we should approach this calmly and collectively. ^_^
<<< His Black Pink bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ SNSD/Black Pink Alliance! ^.^
<<< His Momoland bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ It's so nice to see the Momoland Sisters keeping in touch with each other. ^.^
<<< His Oh My Girl bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ <<< believes all of the members are very good cooks. If not, they all can improve and still become very good cooks. ^.^ <<< Innocent! ^.^
<<< His NiziU bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ *Prays for Miihi to fully recovery soon*
<<< Hopes Amazon Prime doesn't even try to incorporate anything from game of thrones into the Lord Of The Rings streaming show, because it'll be complete hypocrisy and lunacy to do so. If they ever do any SJW pandering too, they'll fail and anger many Lord of the Rings fans across the globe. It's Lord Of The Rings that came first way before that hbo show (And the books for that show is still way better too.), not the other way around! Amazon Prime has to dive deep into the realm of the Fantasy genre and understand why J. R. R. Tolkien is one of the most prominent expanding founding fathers in history. If they deviate from everything that makes Lord Of The Rings, The Lord Of The Rings, it'll be a waste of money and time that resulted in division and scorn for what they did to it.
<<< ^.^ https://www.youtube....h?v=fP2w_UAK6B4 So many reasons to NOT pander to the evil, vile, Satanic, uneducated, insane SJWs. Marvel must NOT side with these insidious and hateful people. Kevin needs to remove all of these SJW scenes from Thor Love & Thunder, The Eternals, and every future MCU film! This one proof alone shows how radically stupid the SJWs are. Why would the Russo Brothers side with them? Why would Taika side with them? Why would anyone from the MCU side with these evil people? It makes no sense whatsoever. The DCEU is off to a good start purging these people out. ^.^
<<< His Red Velvet bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Good recovery. ^.^ Red Velvet Professionalism. ^_^
<<< His Oh My Girl bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ <<< All Female K-Pop girl groups are never disbanded in his heart. ^_^ <<< Innocent! ^.^
<<< His Wonder Girls, 4minute, 4Tomorrow, Dazzling Red, Trouble Maker, and Triple H bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Love tested again, and love reaffirmed again. Dawn, please, for the love of God, propose to Hyuna and make it official. Both of you are perfect together. ^.^ <<< Innocent! ^.^
<<< His Running Man bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ I think Kook's friends are getting tired of him being single, and just throwing any single woman around him. Somin is a decade younger. That's equal to him being a senior in high school looking at a 2nd grader in elementary school.
<<< His Black Pink bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ https://www.youtube....h?v=3l5jwqPT2yk It's good Jimmy didn't create an international incident during the interview. He kept it nice and clean. ^_^ Thank you.
<<< And if anyone is interested as to why the culture shock, someone just needs to study the history on both countries. It's not that hard to see as to why there's any need to be overly dramatic about it. And if any of you still cannot see it. Here's a tiny part of it, . . . Just ask yourself who fought against the U.S., and who fought alongside the U.S. ^_^ I could type out a huge essay on this, but I would feel like I need to get paid to do it instead. ^.^ Tehehehehe.
<<< That K-Pop Media is getting weird again. *facepalm* Why are they citing Swedish and German media criticizing K-Pop, while trying to compare it to the Olympics? https://www.youtube....h?v=_GP5_NQ_LEs Comparing apples to oranges. These media groups need to realize it's South Korea and its culture, not Swedish culture, and surely not German culture! Both of these media need to grow up, or K-Pop Fans will go Donald Trump on their sorry media asses. ^_^ Tehehehehe.
<<< What if, . . . Sakura will also be part of SOL48 as its leader? This way, not only does she keep her promise to her 48fans back in Japan, but also keeps her K-Pop career going too. It's not unheard of for a K-Pop Artists to be involved in 2 groups at the same time, but she would become the first to do so between a J-Pop girl group and a K-Pop girl group. SOL48 and IZ*ONE. She's not going to have that much time to game if she should accomplish this. It's a whole lot of work and responsibilities. Remember, this is a possible theory, not fact. There will be no doubt about some difficult times ahead when SOL48 debuts. To imagine the sheer might SOL48 will have with K-Pop training and discipline and morality infused into it, the girl group will surely take the top spot in the 48Group. Or the 48Group management might take this opportunity to downplay K-Pop's industry as a whole by using SOL48 as an example of failure? We shall see what happens.
<<< His Girl's Day bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Girl's Day/SNSD Alliance! ^.^ I guess this means Hyeri is going to commit to that new drama then. Taeyeon being added to the show is going to be awesome! ^.^
<<< His Loona bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Is very happy to hear about their next comeback. ^.^
<<< His IZ*ONE bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Kang Hyewon is innocent! ^.^ Sakura has a good perspective now experiencing both J-Pop and K-Pop, and can see the vast differences and advantages both sides has in the music industry. But this does raise an interesting question, or rather theory, my fellow colleagues and myself have caught on to earlier today. ^_^
<<< That took some time to officially allow Big Hit to hold 85% of the shares of Pledis Entertainment. 6 months. I guess they'll be researching After School and Pristin for their girl group then? With their IPO dropping like an imposter on a mass murder spree of their investors who can't get their suspicious correct and killing their own left and right with no end in sight. And the growing global hatred for the idiots of BTS and their agency for donating money to the Marxist, racist, terrorists Black Lives Matter Movement who've murdered innocent and good people and destroyed innocent families and pushed their communistic oppression and fascistic authoritarianism and stupid, uneducated idealism onto the free people of the free world. They've not once ever given an apology, nor condemned these criminal atrocities against humanity. That means they are for these insane riots and killings!!! To Hell with BTS and their agency!
<<< His Momoland bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Is very happy to hear about their next comeback. ^.^ But what is wrong with these fans in Mexico? >_< Seriously, flashbacks from Taeyeon getting physically assaulted by fans in Indonesia, and other artists getting harassed by these so-called fans with no respect or honor in them. So sick of these people. They are K-Pop Artists! Not prostitutes! At least Momoland didn't get physically hurt by them and police were there to arrest these degenerates, thank goodness. Thank you to the true Merry-Go-Rounders for helping to protect Momoland in Mexico. ^_^ You guys are awesome! ^.^
<<< That K-Pop Media is trying to compare the Kardashians to Female K-Pop Artists? No, no, no, no, no! Each woman is unique and beautiful, period!
<<< It's so sweet Seulgi got to see her classmate's performance in stage. ^_^ I won't mind at all if both of them hooked up. ^_^ <<< Innocent! ^.^
<<< His Black Pink and Weki Meki bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Black Pink/Weki Meki Alliance! ^.^
<<< His Fiestar bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Yezi did great on King Of Mask Singer. ^.^
<<< His Twice bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ That's good she's an organ donor when she passes away from natural causes at a very old age. And it is her choice because it is her body. No one else's, to be clear.
<<< His APink bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ It's so sweet of Bomi to support her father. ^.^
<<< His Red Velvet bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Poor Irene. I do wonder if there's a South Korean equivalent of a Better Business Bureau in the U.S., so she could report them. And when the cops arrest these criminals, she probably can sue and get her money back, maybe more for damages. Oh my, it reminded me of this memorable Babylon 5 scene, . . . ^_^ https://www.youtube....h?v=jhC_KHkihKY
<<< His Refund Sisters, Fin.K.L, Unpretty Rapstar, Unnies, Mamamoo, and Female Soloists bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ <<< He'll always maintain that most ancient wisdom, . . . "Clothing is optional for beautiful women." ^.^ <<< Innocent! ^.^
<<< His Black Pink and Running Man bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Get those name tags, Black Pink! ^.^
<<< His f(x) and Girl's Day bias are, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ f(x)/Girl's Day Alliance! ^.^
<<< His Black Swan bias is, . . . wait for it, . . . "all of them." ^_^ Black Swan is innocent! ^.^ Seriously, falsely accusing them of using similar settings? Weak sauce. *facepalm* I suppose these so-called critics know nothing about using the same sets by different artists. Movies do it all the time. *Does a Spartan kick on them down a hole as they make this famous scream, . . . https://www.youtube....h?v=cdbYsoEasio * ^_^
