By Thursday night, I was completely bummed out that I didn't even get to see the girls in my home city. I felt like a pathetic NY-sone that just left a week of opportunity go to waste. Because of school and lack of transportation, it was impossible for me to go to the city and witness everything. When I knew it was impossible to get into the fan signing on Tuesday, I tried to comfort myself by telling myself, at least you got to see them on your HDTV (HD+big screen+ snsd= ) I kept trying to think of ridiculous ways I could get into the fan signing but it was hopeless. 300 wristbands would be gone in a heartbeat and I wouldn't even have a chance. For some reason, I had this crazy plan in my head that if I get up at 4AM, I could get my dad to drive me to the train station and hopefully get there by 5:30AM and be early for the line queue. Then I'll just wait until 8AM, get a wristband, take the train back home and only miss 3 periods of school. Of course when I ran that idea through my parents they thought I was insane. Sucks to live in Long Island sometimes. After hearing stories about how the wristbands disappeared by 3AM and the terrible organization, I guess I would've just wasted my time.

I calmed myself down by telling myself, there was no chance anyways. People were on top of their game and you didn't have a chance at getting one. I was okay for a few hours until I started seeing pictures of the fan signing on tumblr. I started hating myself again because I just let a huge opportunity slip by. I kept dwelling on how stupid I was and started mentally slapping myself for being so dumb. Then I heard some people without wristbands who waited diligently also go into the fan signing and at that point, I just called myself a fail sone. I kept thinking, I should've done that. I would've have a chance but noooooooooo. I was aggravated, jealous and soshi hungry. When the fan signing was over, some of my old old friends showed off pictures of their signatures. Jealousy rushed through my body. At that point, I wish I went to school in the city. I was thinking "screw Long Island, nothing ever happens and I'm always isolated from everything". Its kind of true to a certain extent.

Friday rolled around and I knew this was their last day in NY. I woke up at 4:00AM to go on a ski trip with my school. I thought to myself, this should help me clear my mind. Maybe I won't be as jealous after this trip. This will definitely remedy my soshi hunger. To an extent, it actually did. I had a blast with my friends and by the end of the day, I totally forgot about everything. When we got on the bus, I completely passed out and wandered in my dreams for a few hours. When I woke up, I suddenly remembered that they should be leaving today. I was on my phone frantically trying to find out if they left yet. I found out that Yuri and Yoona left already (Jessica already left before the fan signing). A sudden spark went off in my head. Would it be possible to catch them at the airport?! There was no way. Nothing ever works out for me when it comes to soshi.

By the time I got home, I was sore, exhausted and drowsy from the trip. For some reason, I checked JFK's departures to ICN and there were two flights for 12:20 AM. All this energy and strength suddenly regenerated me and I thought I had a chance. I was tired of missing out on opportunities and I knew I had to do it. My attitude was totally different this time. I thought to myself, the only way you will fail is if you don't give it a shot. I ran through everything by my parents and they were even nice enough drive my sister and I to the airport. I grabbed my coat and bag and the family and I head out to JFK.

There was a 50:50 shot between Delta Airlines and Korean Air. I chose the Korean Air terminal because...well its korean LOL We got there around 10PM and I was prepared to do a lot of waiting. I sat there trying to hunt out some fellow sones but most people there were checking in their flights. My hope started to dwindle because there weren't any sones around us. I started patrolling the area to scout out other sones and I only found 3 POTENTIAL sones. After waiting about 45 minutes, the giant GG tour bus rolled in front of the departure area. My heart dropped and I thought this was it. Being the considerate person that I am, I walked over the POTENTIAL sones sitting by the bench and asked them if they were here for SNSD. They nodded and I said, well there bus is outside. They jetted to the door faster than I could imagine. I was a flustered but I quickly made my way to the entrance. Apparently, there were quite a few sones lying around because the crowd quickly grew. There were about 6-8 of us waiting from a good distance from the bus. As I promised to SNSDave, I preached his wisdom. I told the other sones to be calm, considerate and un-saesang fan like. I told them to keep a good distance from the girls when they come out and not to swarm them. They agreed and we all waited.

After a good 15minutes of watching the staff and managers unload the girls' luggage, we concluded that they were intimated by our small crowd so we decided to wait patiently inside. We saw some of the managers walk in and out of the airport checking in, bringing the luggage in but there was no sign of the girls. I think some of the crowd gave up and left but I stuck around with the small group of sones. After waiting some more, another group of sones came with giant DLSRs and "happy birthday sooyoung" signs. They kindly passed them out to us and we all wore them on our chests. I was starting to lose hope again thinking that the girls would probably take an underground tunnel or something to avoid us. One of the sones asked the security lady if the girls would have to pass through security here and she said yes. She also told us not to take any pictures and we all kindly agreed thinking that the girls probably had enough flash over the pass week. Once again, I reminded the other sones and preached word of SNSDave and for the most part, everyone seemed pretty calm. As we were chatting, I realized that my sister and I were the only ones who didn't see the girls yet. Everyone else saw them throughout the week! (I envy you guys)

There was group of koreans sitting near our crowd who saw our "happy birthday sooyoung" signs and started poking fun at us. I couldn't understand them but I was obvious that they were laughing at us. One of the other sones gave a sign to one of the guys but then it seemed like he was ridiculing us. He started telling us to line up in front of the door and his family was obnoxiously laughing at us. I didn't want to be a part of it and I thought it would totally ruin everything if we crowded the girls by the entrance. Eventually the security lady warded them off and said that they couldn't do that. The family proceeded to laugh at our fandom which I found pretty annoying.

There was more waiting, chatting and etc. Then a light blue Honda Odyssey pulled up near the door. One of the guy sones said he recognized the van. There were two entrances and all of the sones were unsure of which entrance they were going to come in from. My parents were by the right entrance just waiting there and the small crowd us (about 8-10?) of us were on the left. Then when I turned to my dad, he was frantically waving at me, signaling me to come here. I started running to the other side and I said to the other sones, "they're this way!" We all ran to the other side and there they were. **

I saw two beautiful blond girls from a distance. It was Hyoyeon and Sunny. Hyoyeon smiled and waved at us with a bright smile. She was really pretty and seemed very happy ^^ Sunny seemed very tired and kind of hid next to Hyoyeon. I heard the cameras and fans were hard on her this time. TT To my surprise, there were no loud fan cries and no obnoxious things of that nature. We were all calm and kept our distance for the most part. However, 1-2 sones did try to get a signature from Hyoyeon and actually succeeded! The girl who got the signature disappeared after that LOL Then Sooyoung walked in. We all said happy birthday and when she saw our signs, she smiled really brightly and at us and waved happily. Then Seohyun walked in with another guy (possibly manager or a friend that escorted them around) and I was stunned. Her skin, her beauty, her hair. Oh my god. She was so beautiful in person and I was infatuated. I was surprised at this point because I just saw four beautiful soshi members but I was also surprised because two of them were missing! I kept saying, where is everyone else!? Apparently Taeyeon and Tiffany were ninja and just slipped by! We all headed around the corner to meet up with them once again and bid our farewell. Once again Hyoyeon greeted us with a loving smile. Sooyoung really appreciated our signs I heard Seohyun's voice when she was saying good bye to one of their friends from NY and my ears melted.

Then a goddess appeared before my eyes. Goddess born Taeyeon noona was right in front of me and my heart dropped. I didn't know what to say or what to do and all that came out was, Hi Taeyeon! That was all I said to everyone. I was waving and smiling like a complete idiot the whole time. I really couldn't believe what I was seeing. There's Taeyeon! Your bias is RIGHT THERE. Everything around me disappeared and I only saw her for a while. She was everything I expected and beyond. I was really happy that the sones there didn't swarm the girls with flashing DLSRs and ear piercing screams. Tiffany was such a ninja again with her hat and sunglasses. I only caught a glimpse of her and she quickly moved on the security process. They all waved at us and we all waved back like smiling idiots I saw Taeyeon give one of the airport security guys a signature and I was so jealous. At least I got to see her close up in person ^^ They moved on to the security x-ray conveyor belt thing. Taeyeon and Tiffany were on the same line and there was a Taeny moment haha. I'll just copy and paste the mini fan account I wrote for a tumblr friend.

"so taeng and fany were both on the same security conveyor belt thing and they were taking off their jackets and accessories and putting them on the bin. taeng kept turning back to fany and casually talking haha there were a few chuckles here and there. taeng forgot one of her jackets and her bin was moving so she tried to lean in and chuck her jacket into the conveyor belt but she decided last minute it would be a good idea so she just dropped it in another bin (maybe fany’s don’t remember) as taeng was going through the security walkway thing, fany was waiting with her hands on her hip haha thats all i remember really ^^" cr: my tumblr haha

I just tried to look at all the girls and store the memories forever. I was still stunned by Taeyeon's beauty and we made eye contact a few times -dead- Before I knew it, everyone passed the last part of security and they all started disappearing. I was being stubborn and stayed there. I was tippy toeing trying to get a last glimpse of the girls. Everyone around my already left but I kept looking, thinking that someone was going to be there. Then to my luck, Seohyun peeked back to the area where we were standing to bid us a final farewell. But there was no one there but me. I was shocked and I just kept waving like an idiot and said "Bye Seohyun"! And she kept waving back and finally left. Seohyun waved at me!! We totally had a moment<3 LOL ^^

And that was that. A totally random decision I made after waking up from an exhausting ski trip totally made my entire week of missed opportunities not half bad (it was actually pretty amazing ^^.

To the fellow sones there, I was the asian guy with the pea coat ^^ You guys probably have been around a lot of sones before because you were all group up but this was actually the first time I chatted with other sones in person so it was an amazing experience. It was my first time able to talk to people around me about biases and other snsd related topics. Its really kind of cool how we never saw each other before but once we talk, we know exactly what the other person is talking about and could just chat forever. It was truly a life changing experience for me. To the other asian guy in the beanie- DUDE! I'M SO SORRY I STILL HAVE YOUR BROWN SHARPIE LOL i realized when I got in my car TT if you're reading this, I would have no problem sending it back to you or something LOL If any of you guys want to keep in touch, that'll be cool ^^

**It was kind of funny because my parents were the first ones to greet the girls and my mom said that the girl in the blond (hyoyeon) and the tall girl (sooyoung) were laughing and waving at them. They probably thought, wow, I have these kinds of fans too!? LOL And my sister had a moment with Sooyoung haha Shes still 13 and everything there was much older so sooyoung paid more attention to her LOL

Thank you for reading my ridiculously long fan account for such a short encounter LOL

WARNING: THIS IS VERY LENGTHY LOL SORRY!

Just like everyone else who attended the concert and the fan meeting, I had an amazing weekend. Even though I didn't have the opportunity to catch them coming out of the hotel or leaving a venue I still had a blast!

Few months before the concert, my sister strolls into my room and casually asks me "is there any news". I just answered, "not really" but as I refreshed the page, I couldn't believe my eyes. SMTown NYC?! Was this my chance to finally see the girls!? When tickets were released for sale, I glued my face to the monitor and bought the tickets instantly. Since my parents wanted to tag along, getting four 100 section tickets would be way too expensive and we decided to get the 300 tickets But still good! I was just ecstatic that that SMTown was going to perform at MSG!

After months of anticipating, fast forward to last weekend; arguably the best weekend of my life. That morning, I didn't know how to react. Mixed emotions ran through me throughout the morning and afternoon. My family decided to head out to Manhattan at 3:30pm thinking that we would DEFINITELY beat the crowd there. I was so wrong. When we parked the car by KTown, I saw a bunch of SSF members practicing for the flash mob before the concert! This is the first time my sister and I have seen other people appreciating and openly expressing their love for KPop so we were really excited (we live on long island haha enough said LOL). We sprinted to the area they were practicing but we just stood by and watched. In retrospect, we should have introduced ourselves to the fellow SSF members and join you guys but we were still in shock by the dozens of people loving KPop. Soon this dozen of people turned into hundreds and by the time we made our way to the merchandise line, thousands.

My jaw dropped when I saw the line for merchandise. We even thought we came early too! LOL My sister and I scouted the line planned out what we would buy. All of a sudden, I heard a collective and thunderous fan girl cry in front of the line. Every single head turned to that direction. The screams got louder and a group of cameras started following a giant swarm of people. COULD IT BE!? Without thinking, my sister and I jolted to the scene. Since this whole meeting an idol thing was still new to me, I thought I was about to finally get a chance to see our nine angels? Without hesitation, I joined the swarm and jumped like a kangaroo to get vision of what the ruckus was all about. To my disappointment, it was just of fans holding signs. Don't get me wrong, the banners were beautifully done but the cheers got my heart beating wildly LOL.

After two and an half hours of waiting on the merchandise line, the MSG staff started letting people in. At this point, the merchandise line just stops moving. I was determined to buy something no matter what. I stood there stubbornly for another 15minutes but i knew the line wasn't going to move anymore. People who go in with their tickets just stormed the merchandise stand and blocked the entire line. Disappointed once again, I shoved my way into the Garden. Wow. In front of me, I see a sea of Kpop fans. In back of me, I see a sea of Kpop fans. My sister and I couldn't believe we were in a stadium full of people who had loved SME artists.

As the stadium filled, you could feel the anxiety and excitement of the crowd. Girls even screamed for the SM Global Audition ads when their favorite groups came on the giant LED screen. After almost an hour of waiting, I was kind of bummed out. At that moment, the lights started to dim. The entire stadium goes bananas. I started going bananas. But to my disappointment again, they were just teasing LOL. After they dimmed the lights and turned them back on a few times, music started playing and the concert officially began. The butterflies in my stomach were bombarding the corners of my stomach as I watched several dark figures tip toe their way on the stage.

The lights illuminated the entire stadium and five girls appeared on stage. The crowd goes wild again and I’m screaming “OMG ITS F(X) OMGOMGOMOMG KRYSTAL!!! Etcetc”. My sister bursts into tears! That was first time either of us has seen a Korean idol and we were both ecstatic. Less than five minutes of the concert and I was already starting to lose my voice by screaming Krystal. I couldn’t believe that was Jessica’s sister right there in front of me.
Then after f(x)’s introduction, Krystal says that she’ll be singing Tik Tok with her sister. Then I really went bananas. Was I really about to see a SNSD member? I’m about to see Jessica? These thoughts raced in my head and I couldn’t process this information even though I’ve prepared for this concert mentally for weeks. “Omg, Jessica is just going to appear out of the darkenss. Is this really happening to me?” The funny thing is, Jessica isn’t even my favorite member! Don’t get me wrong, I love her tons but I’m a Taeganger ^^ But when Jessica magically appeared on stage as the stereos blasted “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy”, I screamed Jessica’s name like an ecstatic lunatic monkey. I’ve never fanboyed this hard before LOL. But nevertheless, there I was; screaming my voice away for Jessica. How was I going to make it through the night? My voice was already failing and I haven’t even seen SNSD perform yet!


After several performances the other artists, Kyuhyun and SEOHYUN stepped onto the stage. My eyes widened and I just started wailing out SEOHYUN!!! Like 100 times. After their heartwarming performance, my voice was already making that hissing noise when I tried to scream. Man, I really should’ve practiced my fan boy scream LOL. Then Suju and SHINee magically appeared from the seats and everyone was going bananas. By the way, there are going to be a lot of people going bananas LOL sorry for a lack of a better word.
(Seohyun)
There was a brief intermission and there was darkness. I was wondering, “Hmm, who could the next act be? I really hope its SN-“. The stereos blasted a familiar high bass rhythm that got every sone up on their feet. At that moment, the lights epicly shone onto the stage and revealed nine angels. My heart raced and I lost control of my body. All I could do was wave my fanlight like a child would do with his candy and scream all of the girls’ names with my dying voice.


During their introduction, each member tried to introduce themselves in English! When Sunny yelled “Let me hear you scream!”, I yelled back but my voice started cracking and hissing already! It was so cute when Seohyun stumbled on the word “here” LOL. I was surprised and impressed by each of the members’ English! We’re all used to listening to Tiffany and Jessica’s “California girl” English but listening to the rest of the members try and interact with us in English was phenomenal. Since I’m a Taeganger, when Taeyeon started introducing herself, I screamed and unleashed my inner fan boy that I never thought was in me. For some reason, my hoarse voice disappeared when I screamed for Taeyeon and a whole new voice came out. My sister and I were the only sones in our area so I got a few dirty looks and awkward glares when I fanboyed for Taeyeon and the rest of the girls. “Hi, I’m Taeyeon! I’m so happy to be here and I hope you uh enjoy the rest of the show tonight –giggle- Thank you guys! Thank you New York!“ Such simple words but yet it made me so happy. After Yoona (she seemed so tired D: ) and Yuri (very dorky English LOL ), it was Tiffany’s turn. She joked about how there’s more pressure for her because all the members before her said all the good stuff. Then she said “But lets try this out. MADISION SQUARE GARDEN MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!” I screamed like a crazy fan boy again but Tiffany’s energy got the crowd going wild. What got me even more excited was when Tiffany said that she hoped this would be the first of MANY meetings for us. And last but not least Jessica introduced herself with her flawless English and her admirable California girl accent. Needless to say, I went bananas for her too.



Right after their memorable introductions, they performed Kissing You and I waved my fan light like it was a lollipop LOL. The guy sitting next to me kept looking at me weirdly but WHO CARES!? I’m a sone and I’m proud of it Immediately after Kissing You, they performed Oh! and it gave me the goosebumps when I heard thousands of sones chant Oh and Ah four times in unison. The feeling of sones and SNSD being under the same roof made the night (and very much my whole year LOL).



Every single SNSD performance got me on my feet and cheering as loud as I could. Even though it was awkward being the only sone (along with my siter) in the vicinity, I didn’t let that stop me from having a good time. After the Haha song and Way to Go (which were amazing), they girls performed the beloved Genie. Words can’t describe how epic this performance was.



After several performances from other SM artists, the girls stepped onto the stage with their retro Hoot outfits and rocked the stage. This song kept all sones at the edge of their seats (unless you were lucky enough to be in GA) while we tried to grab their love arrows LOL.



Arguably the most anticipated performance of the whole night was about to blow MSG away. For the first time ever, the girls performed the English version of their new hit song, “The Boys”. It was an honor to be the first ones to watch their first English performance. All sones sang the English lyrics in unision and our voices and the girls’ angelic voices echoed throughout the garden. I was at a loss of words after their performance. Needless to say I was cheering but one emotion couldn’t describe how I felt. I was proud, excited, elated, awestruck, amazed, mesmerized, moved.



If this concert wasn’t epic enough already, this definitely sealed the deal. SM’s best dancers came out and put on a great show. At this point my voice is already dead so my screaming was very limited. I was still screaming but nothing really came out LOL. Hyoyeon was amazing obviously and Yuri (so sexy LOL), Yoona and Sooyoung were great too. Undoubtedly, SM’s best dancers wowed the audience with their moves.



At this point I knew SNSD would only have one song left. All of the artists came out with their most well known songs and gave their last performances. I knew Gee was going to come soon and I mixed emotions ran through my mind again. I was so excited that they were going to perform Gee but I was also sad that it was going to be their last stage. I realized I should just live it up and enjoy while it lasted. When nine beautiful angels appeared on stage with their signature white t-shirt and jeans, I cheered and chanted the famous “gee gee gee gee baby baby baby” with all my strength to show my support and love. By the end of it, my ears were deafened and nothing came out of my mouth when I tried to speak. I don’t think ever expressed so much excitement in my life before.



When the all the artists came out to say their goodbyes, I stood there and waved my fan light and waved goodbye to them. I scouted out Taeyeon and I saw her adorably playing with her dukongs. It was amusing to watch all of the artists playing around on the stage and giving fan services to us crazy fan boys/girls LOL. I kept an eye out for all the soshi members because I thought this was going to be the last time I could see them with my own eyes (I totally forgot about the fan meeting then LOL). When the confetti exploded and spread around the stadium, I grabbed one and put it in my pocket to remember the moment . After the conclusion of H.O.T.’s song, all the artists took a big bow and slowly exited the stage. Many of them were reluctant and ended up standing around even when the music was over. I kept waving at our girls until they finally left the stage and the concert was officially over.

I couldn't hear anything when I exited the Garden and I was still awestruck by what just happened the last four hours. It felt like a dream. A very long and good dream. Even though it would’ve been more fun to hang out with fellow SSF members for the rest of the night, it was a school night so unfortunately I had to head back home immediately. By the time I got in the car, I was already feeling symptoms of soshi withdrawal. I missed them already and it felt like it went by so quickly. The rest of the night was blur because I was completely drained by all the cheering. That night I dreamed of the concert replaying over and over again and I didn’t want to wake up.

The next morning, I dragged myself to school and I couldn’t stop thinking about the concert. When my friends asked me why I couldn’t speak, I hissed out that I was at a concert but they wouldn’t have understood if I told them I went to see SNSD. I tried to hide it throughout the day because in Long Island, there aren’t many Kpop fans and if there are any, they usually aren’t huge fans of SNSD. I decided to keep it my little secret.

Throughout the school day, all I could think about was the fan meeting and how amazing it would be to get to meet them up close. When the bell rang, I headed to the train station immediately. I was so worried that I would miss the fan meeting because I was so sure that there were people lining up since GMA. The train to Penn Station arrived at 3:15 on the dot and the ETA was around 4pm so I had some confidence I could make it. I had my camera (man I should’ve brought a camcorder) and my pink SMTown shirt and I was ready to meet the girls. Then suddenly I heard a ruckus a few seats in front of me. An old lady snuck onto the train without paying and she was arguing with the ticket collector. At first I just shrugged it off but then the man said, I will call the police and stop this train if you don’t pay me for the ticket and don’t stop lying to me. My heart dropped. There was no way I was going to let an uncooperative citizen jeopardize a once in a life time opportunity. The ticket collector then asserted that he would call the police and they would deal with her at the next station. I panicked. I begged the ticket collector that many of us are in a rush and we can’t afford to be late. He said that he was only abiding to the rules. Fortunately, when the doors opened at the next station, the old lady jolted out of the door and ran frantically down the stairs and avoided authority. In hindsight, I feel really bad for her because I let my fandom misjudge her and criticize her. Even though she was stealing, I’m sure she was suffering and desperate.

After arriving at Penn Station and speed walking 10 blocks (painful but so worth it), I saw a medium sized line. I thought to myself, “Wow I must’ve got here early!” I stood behind a few fellow sones and waited for the doors to open. Then a security guard came up to me and said, “Sorry kid, the line goes down the street and around the corner”. Then I looked behind me and I saw a swarm of sones. As I walked to the end of the line, my jaw was dropped because it was amazing to see so many sones in one place. This was like heaven to me because I was never able to talk about my fandom with anyone besides my sister because everyone in my school didn’t understand. After I FINALLY reached the end of the line, I got my wrist stamped with the “S9” stamp and I was excited. I asked one of the SSF staff members if I would still be able to get in because I was pretty far back. He reassured me that I would probably get in and those words made me smile like a little boy.

It kind of sucked waiting on line alone because many people came with their fellow sone friends so I just awkwardly stood there and admired the giant LED ads of SNSD. Eventually I chatted with a few girl sones and it was really surprising because it was the first time I talked about SNSD and someone actually knew what I was saying. One of the girls asked me who my favorite member was and I answered Taeyeon. Then she was like “OMG! Taengoo!! Kid Leader! I love her too!!” I didn’t know how to react because I never interacted with other sones before. Being around sones made me really comfortable and starting a conversation was no challenge at all. In no time, several sones and I chattered about soshi for the remaining wait.
As the line started moving, a few guys cut me off and walked in front of me. At first I didn’t really think anything of it but then one of the girls I was talking about started whispering, “Is that Henry from SuJu-M?” After squinting at the guy with a stylish denim jacket and cap, I mustered the courage to call his name. “Henry? Is that you?” He waved at us and I got a quick snapshot of him with my phone. We didn’t want to stir up too much attention because it was his private time so we just exchanged greetings and he crossed the street.


I finally go into Best Buy Theater and I still couldn’t believe I was about to meet soshi. The second I walked into the venue, the girls’ debut song started playing. Into the New World blasted as I walked down the elevator. I thought the fan meeting was starting and I jolted to the theater. Unfortunately all of the close spots were taken so I settled for one elevated spot near the stairs. I grabbed my camera and I was ready. After the MV showing, Cara stepped out and got the crowd cheering and screaming. I tried to scream again but all that came out was a weak voice with lots of hissing. I think we were asked, “Are you ready?” over a hundred times. I WAS SO READY. The tease was unbearable and my stomach imploded from all the butterflies.

When “The Boys” starting playing and the curtains moved slightly moved so Cara could slip in, I caught a quick glimpse of Jessica. I was stunned because I could see her face clearly. Her beauty rattled my mind and I could only say omg. Then the curtains disappeared and were replaced by our nine angels once again. This time, I could see all of them clearly and perfectly. Everything was so lucid and all I could say was omg over and over again. Needless to say I screamed like a little girl (or fan boy rather) for Taeyeon. It was evident that she wasn’t feeling well from her peanut allergy but she still mustered up the energy to keep a smile on for us sones. My heart ached seeing her like that but it showed me that she is truly an inspirational person. My heart goes out to you Taengoo Stay strong! Poor Yoona wasn’t feeling well either. When I saw her ankle get injured and her careful and frail movements during the performance, it hurt me to see her work so hard for us.
After their performance they all sat down for the interview. Since this fan account just ended up in me spazzing and rambling about that amazing weekend, I should just let this video of the interview wrap this fan account up. The interview and chat was full of inside jokes that got sones cracking up. From Jessica’s “STRESS!” to Yuri’s reaction to Sunny’s aeygo, the girls never failed to entertain us sones. OH!! And before this video, they were still setting up and everything. I was the only person screaming for Taeyeon in the area and when she was looking at my direction, I screamed Taeyeon with my new found voice as loud as I could and she waved in my general direction with a bright smile. It seemed like she was looking at me but it could’ve just been the people around me. I was the one screaming her name in that area so it made me really happy inside. ^__^ All of you guys must be tired of my rambling already LOL so here is the interview! (my memory didn’t bug out this time!)


To wrap out this perfect weekend, the members of SSF presented the girls with a special gift. One of the staff members came out and started singing ITNW and the crowd sang with him. The girls joined in and it was a perfect moment for sones and SNSD. I got the goosebumps from the love in the air and the bond between sonds and SNSD. There couldn’t have been a better way to end this memorable weekend.


The whole experience of seeing and meeting the girls in real life was life changing. I learned so much about myself and the girls over this weekend. I realized being surrounded by fellow sones let me be myself. When I was around sones, I was truly happy and I was hiding nothing. The bond between SSF members, sones and the girls is one that will never be broken. Our bond can only get stronger as time progresses. Even though I was shy around SSF members because this the first time I was exposed to fellow sones, I hope we can become closer friends in the future. As Tiffany said, “I hope this is the first of many meetings for us”.

For whatever odd reason I can't link my fancams so here's a link to my channel.
