Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung received a very special birthday gift.
Girls’ Generation’s fanclub CISTUS decided to perform volunteer service to commemorate Sooyoung’s 23rd birthday on February 10th. (Editor’s note: Sooyoung is 22 according to her Western age and is 23 according to her Korean age) Every year, this fanclub has held donation and volunteer service events to celebrate the birthdays of every member of Girls’ Generation.
On February 4th, members of the fanclub visited the “One Love Facility for Young Disabled Kids” in Gwangju, where they volunteered in Sooyoung’s name to clean and look after the kids. They also donated Naver Happy Beans to a children’s organization. (Editor’s note: Happy Beans are a charity item within Naver. People who make lots of blog/cafe posts, comments, and email replies are given Happy Beans. They are worth a few hundred won, and can be donated to various charities and foundations.)
In addition, CISTUS congratulated Sooyoung on her birthday by posting an advertisement in Sports Chosun. The advertisement made use of Sooyoung’s comment in a show, where she said, “I’m very envious of Yuri, who is really good at swimming”, and grabbed the readers’ attention by writing, “Until Sooyoung wins a gold medal in swimming, we love you”.
The entire advertisement reads:
“February 10th is ‘The Day of Sooyoung’s Birth’
It’s Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung’s 23rd birthday.
The loving heart
The longing heart
The waiting heart
The pounding heart
The laughing heart
The joyful heart
That is the hearts of S♡NEs
With all the loving hearts gathered together,
We wish you a happy birthday
We wish that you are always healthy, and that your happiness and laughter stays with you.
Girls’ Generation fan cafe ‘CISTUS’. Oppa/Samchon Support Group ‘Gateway to Soshi Heaven’
Until Sooyoung wins a gold medal in swimming, we love you…^0^”
(translator’s note: “Sooyoung” means “swimming” in Korean)
Fans on Twitter also celebrated Sooyoung’s birthday, as “Happy Birthday Choi Sooyoung” trended in second place worldwide.

Happy birthday Sooyoung unnie Snsd hwaiting
i’ll say it now because i’ve never talked about it before and it relates to sooyoung, but, unfortunately, due to my work schedule i have not been able to attend as many snsd functions as i would have liked. however, i have managed to get to smtown paris and nyc, and both times i feel, at least this is how i think, that i had a special moment with sooyoung. at smtown paris she blew me two kisses at different points in the concert. i am an oppa fan, so i think she gives us a slight preference…hehe…but it made me feel very special, it made me feel better. then at smtown nyc i got a different reaction from her. when she saw me she sort of just stared, looking a little confused if anything. at first, this actually made me sad. what did i do sooyoung? why did you look at me so funny? but after thinking about it for a while…did she recognize me? this reaction actually started to mean more to me than the kisses. i can only hope that was the case, but even still, i felt special and better again. and though this may seem all about me…lol…i’ll try and get back around to the main point of my story. sooyoung, as with all our girls, makes you feel better, feel special. just by being around her, becoming only a few insignificant seconds in her life, can make you feel so much better. but am i right in saying “insignificant”? from the puzzled look on her face the second time i saw her, i don’t think they are insignificant. i think those brief seconds being able to interact with fans is as much of a treasure to them as it is to us. just another sign of the genuine love these girls are now spreading throughout the world…our nine angels…
