Girls’ Generation’s fansites came together to raise funds for a third world country support group, World Share, and took part in a well digging project for the improvement of drinking water in Cambodia.
While there were cases where each fansite would raise funds to donate to public welfare, eight individual fansites collaborating together to raise funds is seen as a rare occasion.
Girls’ Generation’s fansites that took part in the donation were flying petals, COTTON CANDY, Woorissica, TheStephi, Shining smile, kwonyuri125, deeryoona, and Seople. As a way of symbolizing the nine members of Girls’ Generation, 9,999,999 won were donated to World Share.
The project will take place in the Cambodian villages and districts of Takeo, Tram Kak, Ta Phem, and Ta Much and will be conducted under Girls’ Generation’s name. Nine wells will be constructed, and each will be named after a Girls’ Generation member. After the construction of the wells, the remaining funds will go towards daily necessities and vaccinations needed by locals in Cambodia.
A member of one of the fansites stated, “For a long time, each site wanted to do a good deed together, and we decided to do the donation on August 5th, 2012 in light of Girls’ Generation’s fifth anniversary. If we get the chance, we want to continue to participate in good deeds in the future.”

I’m Cambodian.Even i’m not living in those place but Thank so much for helping my country. I’m really proud to be a Sone.
you guys are really awesome,, being one of the sones, i and also citizen of Cambodia really thankful toward your kindness..
SNSD is really awesome, and my country, Cambodia, really show lots of respect and love toward SNSD and all sones around the world…
Again, i do appreciate your kindness to this small country and recently aware korean wave compare to the neighboring country, Thailand
sincerely..
This is why I’m not only proud of SNSD but SONEs too. As peiusnsd said before “SNSD + SONE = makes my life complete”. It’s not SNSD + ME, no. It’s SNSD + SONE, we are not just a fandom, we are a family, a really big one, and we will always be there to support each other and to show our love for the rest of the world too. I feel so blessed right now looking at everything that we have achieved and all the good things SONEs are doing… and all of it just for 9 girls who had a dream. I can’t help but love them for all the good they have done to this world.
Wow.. I don’t know if other fandoms do this too, but this is so daebak!
After Soshi doing good deeds, the fans are going to do the same. I’m proud of our girls and our awesome fellow fans who are donating. This isn’t just about fangirling/boying and entertainment, but it’s really meaningful.
Wow! You guys are awesome :-).
K-SONE DAEBAK.
I LOVE SO MUCH SNSD + SONE = YOU MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE
Speechless amazingness! Go SONEs!
Tiffany quote : “God isn’t helping me just so that I can live well alone.I also want to be a good example to younger fans”.She also asked fans to donate money to charity instead of buying her expensive gifts and Sones exactly did it..^^~
Absolutely agree with u. Soshi and Sones are the best
i 2nd that ;)
wooow..good idea.. it will give happyness to millions of cambodians^^
really touching #cry
Great Job SONES!
; A ; fansites and sones are so wonderful and amazing. Very kind and generous. When I visit Cambodia I will go and visit those wells and I will tell my friends and family about this. I’m a Cambodian sone by the way :)
Wow!! amazing ♥~
THIS is truly the power of nine!! :D I’m so happy to read news like this one…
And the whole symbolic thing is great to me. Also, naming the wells after SNSD… THAT’S LIKE — JJANG!
Go SoShi! Go S♥NE! ^_^
Well well well…. This ought to be very interesting indeed! Wells named after each SNSD member? That’ll be a pleasant sight to see! :)
Thank you for helping Cambodia. I represent of all Cambodian people really appreciate all of your kindness and how you care about us and even other? We are hopefully that one day Our 9 angels will visit Cambodia and meet all SONES here. Best regard.
You’re Cambodian too? Finally I can find some other Khmer-Sone in these site too. Anyway thanks to the girls’ generation’s fansites who reach out their hand to help.
This is incredible O_O So many different fan sites working together…
Proud to be a SONE! <3 But this is one of those times I hate being young xD I can't contribute to any donations… Once I get my own job, I'll help donate for our girls and for good deeds around the world.
I know all those fan sites (even if i didn't the names says it all xD) except for Seople. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing that's Seohyun's fan site?
Naming each well as the members… Pretty amazing idea ^^ I wonder if the girls will know about this? And is Soshified going to be donating for this as well or is it just those 8?
Forever 9 <3
good job sones! you have showed the kind image soshi has portrayed for five years!
SONE´S fighting SNSD fighting !!!!
Amazing…! I used to visit Cambodia twice. People there were so nice. I’ll tell my Cambodian friend about this news. Thanks sones for doing such a good deed for our girls… Forever9 all around the world.
KSones amazing, awesome, jjang, daebak etc….. the girls are going to be deeply move by this project. btw who does COTTON CANDY belong to? i know the other sites except for that one. Sones loves their Soshi and Soshi loves their Sones. we complete each other lives and this what the outcome is. Very beautiful! ♡
thanks SSF for keeping us in the loop. :)
