SONE Picture/Video of the Week
Girls’ Generation traveled to Taiwan this week for a series of three concerts. Taiwan fans greeted the girls with love and gifts, but none were quite as wild as this van covered in cheers. Each side of the van is covered in pictures, drawings and messages for the girls. One wishes Hyoyeon a happy birthday, and the back of the van is dedicated to Sooyoung, saying “Sooyoungah we love you ♥ We will wait for you!” In addition to the van, Taiwan SONEs prepared a small refrigerator filled with ice cream and drinks. We all know the girls love ice cream, especially Taeyeon, so they are sure to enjoy this gift after their hard work. Taiwan SONEs never cease to impress with their preparation when Girls’ Generation comes to visit.

Aussie-SONEs are going to have the time of their lives. An experience they really shouldn’t miss out on if they can actually go. I wish I could go! I love that they choose our angels song for the BGM and of course put them for last. Feels like they are the highlight of the show. lololol thank you K-SONEs on voting your 9 angels to 1st place for “2011 I Am The Best”. Oh my, pretty much these angels fate lies in your hands in Korea for them to being on top. Please keep them there forever or for a long time! Aw they are so adorable in their hanbok. :) Happy Chuseok! I want that pocket book N.O.W.! Cute pic of SM family! I’ve seen it before and afraid to go back to look because my mind might run on the comments from people below it. Yuri beautiful and sexy in her suede suit. Wow their traveling meter is climbing higher with back to back flying or driving to events. Pretty soon they’ll caught up to Rain’s traveling record. Um are they the only group that’s doing 3 shows back to back? The best ambassadors and they’re doing a wonderful job upholding the title. SNSD are incredible ladies and all thanks to their tough training got them in shape to do almost anything with ease. Can’t wait to see the CeCi pics! I love that pic so much of HyoFanyYoong with the precious little angel. (Her) Unnie angels with a little angel girl, hope she have a safe operation and get well to grow up a beautiful woman. lol aw my gawd YoonTae killing me with their adorkable aegyo, especially Taengoo in the 1st pic. >_< Her facial expression is priceless! I love when they're with their sunbae, it's a cute warm moment between them. Sooyoung you are so precious to SONEs, thank you for thinking of us and giving us a warm surprise. Thanks ssf staffs for translating! Finally, OMG like I said before SONEs all over the world are very special when it comes to SNSD. I love SONEs! I even love SNSD more!
