Months of religious planning paid off as Soshified Philippines (SSFPH) managed to bring the SONEs out during its third gathering held in Meeting Rooms 12-13 of the SMX Convention Center last April 14th. Attendees were spotted within the vicinity of SMX hours before the event started. SONE from the north of Manila as well as from the Visayas and Mindanao regions came to the much-awaited event. All participants were welcomed with music videos, fancams, and concert tour clips of Girls’ Generation.
The program kicked off with a video introduction consisting of the “Beautiful Girls” MV and the third gathering teaser. DJs Prince, Park, Elli and Eric of S9: Soshified Philippines Radio were accompanied by MC Rainne as they welcomed the crowd with an ice breaker. The hosts asked “Jiguemeun?” (right now) which was followed by a resounding response of “So Nyeo Shi Dae!” All hosts had their own MC tags similar to that of MBC’s “Music Core”.
The event continued with games, dance covers, and fantastic prizes. All attendees participated in Human Bingo, a game where one fills up a sheet with signatures from persons that satisfy the description printed on the card. Participants had to find a person sharing the same OTP and bias, among others. Another game involved contestants saying the name of their favorite member and sustaining it while clips featuring their bias played on the screen.
K-Ace Klosed, U9G, Nappeun Namja, Queen Shidae, Oh!MyGee and the Cyber Swiss Girls graced the event with their performances. Coffee Melon and JKL Acoustics mellowed out the crowd with their acoustic sets. The performances were capped off by an electrifying number from the SSFPH Dance Crew.
Raffle prizes were given away throughout the event. Various Girls’ Generation merchandise, t-shirts, albums, Japan support photo booklets, and gifts from the Korean Cultural Center of the Philippines were some of the items given out to the attendees. To further satisfy their thirst for Girls’ Generation stuff and other K-Pop goodies, attendees flocked to the Fangirl Asia and Wenidokane exhibits.
Highlights of the gathering included showing off the birthday tribute video for Girls’ Generation’s Jessica. The video consisted of clips from different SSFPH members saying what they think identifies a GorJess spazzer. The video received love and attention as contributing fans spazzed over their share of clips. Another highlight showed 30 minutes of the Girls’ Generation Japan Concert Tour. Fans couldn’t get enough as they cheered as though they were part of the concert.
With over 250 attendees filling up the venue beyond capacity, the third gathering was the most well-received event for Soshified Philippines to date, and for real, we did bring the SONE out!

It’s really great how Soshi has so many fans, ranging from local to international. They show their love and support, no matter where or who they are. It’s amazing :) Hm, there should be a SONE gathering here in SoCal too…That would be so awesome.
super fun…is it??? huhuhuhu! wasnt able to attend coz i got rashes and at the same time having my vacation in cebu…T.T..
Surely there are more PH SONEs out there that were not able to come.. (including me.. T_T) But knowing that the gathering was a great success makes me a happy SONE too.. :)
this sounds like it was a lot of fun!
i live in new england, and we could
never gather enough people to put
on something that large, so kudos
for organizing that many people, but
we did have a small meetup as well!
all of this just excites me! the places
it reaches and the effect it has…
soshi love!!!
I was just wondering if how many Sones are there in PH.. Soshi must visit PH soon, even not for a concert. PH sones are really craving for them.For sure they will gather interest and love from Filipinos who don’t know them.I mean there were Kpop groups like SJ, 4 minutes, BEAST etc. visited PH but I think they’d love GG more.
you are so kind o_o from what planet are you?
Oh God! How come that I wasn’t there.. I’m in Manila :(
Too bad I wasn’t there, I’m like… in Mindanao, it a bit far and I didn’t even know there was a gathering in the first place T-T.. it must have been nice to meet other sone around the country.. *forever sulking in a corner*

I still remember getting into kpop around the Genie days. This was also the year I went back home to Bohol. When I got there, no one knew what kpop was! I can’t believe that only a couple months after I left that this exploded! It’s always good to see international support for the girls, but seeing support for kpop in general is heart warming. :)
LA needs to have a SONE gathering :|
Los Angeles you mean? We have gatherings every month.
oh no the sica video.
SoshiPao’s epic 9gag-able reaction.. winner!! LOL =DD
