9. Complete
Girls’ Generation’s most famous ballad never received an official music video, but has been used in many fan-made music videos meant to tug at the heartstrings. My favorite, made for Girls’ Generation’s first anniversary, takes us back to the past by using clips from the recording of Girls’ Generation’s first music videos, including “Into the New World”, “Girls’ Generation”, and “Kissing You”, as well as from one of their very first fansign events. Though they have since gone on to hold bigger autograph sessions, sing other ballads, and film bigger music videos, this FMV uses Girls’ Generation’s first ballad and first music videos to show the early days and simpler times for our beloved girl group that so many people still remember today.
8. My Best Friend
My friends who pay no attention to K-Pop are often surprised to hear that the members of Girls’ Generation are all close to one another, despite there being nine very different girls in just one group. However, those who follow Girls’ Generation have seen what my friends do not: that after endless practices, many sleepless nights, hundreds of performances, and countless tears during their time as trainees and idols, Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun are as much best friends as they are members of the same group. Set to Girls’ Generation’s “단짝 (My Best Friend)”, this FMV features the friendships that have lasted the members of Girls’ Generation nearly a decade and are sure to continue for the rest of their lives.
7. The Funniest Girl Group Part 2
To say that the members of Girls’ Generation know how to be funny on television shows is almost as much of an understatement as saying Sunny is cute or the speed of light is fast. However, many of Girls’ Generation’s funniest moments are not captured on variety shows or broadcasted performances, but instead are seen in behind-the-scenes footage, on fancams, or during encore stages. This hilarious video combines many clips to show that as the much as the members can be entertaining on camera, they can be funny the rest of the time as well. This video is part of an on-going series that now includes parts one, three, four, and five all of which will leave you in stitches.
6. Why So Cute ‘_’ ?
For those who may not know, all of the members of Girls’ Generation are very cute.
Oh, does everyone know that already? Well, I guess no explanation is necessary! Hit play and enjoy four minutes of cotton candy, double rainbows, fluffy clouds, and complete happiness that will have you smiling throughout.
5. Never Forget
One of my favorite quotes from Sooyoung concerns Girls’ Generation’s “choshim”, which roughly translates to “original intention” or “original mind”. During Girls’ Generation’s acceptance speech after winning the “Mutizen Award” on SBS’s “Inkigayo” in 2010, Sooyoung said, “We will always be the Girls’ Generation who will not forget how we felt in the very beginning,” when they practiced “Into the New World” long before their debut, when they performed for audiences who had not come to see them, when the CF and endorsement deals were a trickle instead of a flood, when Yoona was recognized as Saebyuk instead of as a part of Girls’ Generation, and when they had no one to support them but each other. This FMV uses hundreds of clips and a perfectly chosen song to convey Sooyoung’s message: that amidst the fame and fortune, the members of Girls’ Generation will never forget where they’ve come from, how they felt in the very beginning, or their choshim, even after their wonderful dream is over.
4. What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger
Though today they are known worldwide, Girls’ Generation began five years ago as an unknown rookie group in Korea. This beautiful and touching FMV showcases the hardships and struggles, the tears and sweat, and the friendship, bond, and love that brought Girls’ Generation from their humble beginnings to their current stardom. From performing in high school auditoriums to sold-out concert stadiums, this amazing video shows the then and now, and just a little of what is sure to come for the nine girls we love most.
3. Funny Moments
While I love many of their songs and their beautiful looks could stop moving trains, I fell in love with Girls’ Generation for the group’s ability to make me laugh. From their appearances on radio and variety shows to the pranks they play on each other and the many antics during their performances, the members of Girls’ Generation have made my stomach hurt and tears fall from laughter in thousands of ways, and their videos never fail to make a dull day much brighter. This hilarious FMV combines clips from variety shows such as “Girls’ Generation and Dangerous Boys” and “Running Man”, radio shows such as “Shim Shim Ta Pa”, MC positions on “Show! Music Core”, and many others for a video that still makes me laugh after having watched it dozens of times.
2.One Kind of Farewell
SunnyAegyoify’s goodbye video, “One Kind of Farewell” is a beautiful and touching FMV made for Girls’ Generation as much as it was made for SONEs. Beginning with Girls’ Generation’s very first win, this video takes us to Girls’ Generation’s dormitory and practice room, to the filming of a dozen CFs and variety shows, to Japan and Phuket, to SMTOWN and solo concerts, and to the beginning and the present of five years with Girls’ Generation. Be sure to turn on your volume and listen closely.
1. One Love
Soshified’s commemorative video for Girls’ Generation’s fifth anniversary, “One Love” is one of the most moving FMVs I have seen yet. This brilliant and heart-wrenching video recounts the early days of Girls’ Generation, its rise to becoming the nation’s girl group, the adoration from fans all over the world, and the love the members have for each other. Girls’ Generation’s five year journey, marked by a myriad of ups and downs, is told in this exactly nine minute story that represents the one love SONEs care so much for. Best of all, the story ends by showing that this journey is only just beginning.

all video make me… “aaww”
The Soshified 5th anniversary video is also my favorite SNSD video (though not my favorite video about SNSD, because my bias is Taeyeon!) — good choices! I’ve always felt a bit sad though watching SunnyAegyoify’s farewell tribute…so here’s a brigher, more upbeat pre-farewell video that also commemorates the 5th anniversay of the girls we all love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZWCRtpd8oY&list=PL3D57479D5741593B&index=2
Nice videos

The first place definitely earned its right :)
Gaaah!! One Love reduced me to tears when I saw it.

Monmonsnow made a great video too.. I always laugh…
I loved all of these FMV’s and my fav two made it into the top two spots!! I love your vids!! sunnyaegyeofy
This is my first time replying on an article here even though I’ve been a member since months ago. But I gotta say this, the “One Love” video is the one who made me love SNSD like this. The one who can made me burst into tears because our girls are soooo awesome, so are the fans, us, SONE. Thank you, Soshified. You guys made my way of loving our girls much more easier :)
why have the last few best of articles
had to be so damn emotional! HAHA!
i know the girls still have so much to
look forward to…so much more success
to obtain…but looking back…being
reminded of the humble beginnings that
our girls had to work through to get
to the level of stature and accomplishment
that they have today is always a wonderful…
although tearful…thing to look back on :-)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=FhQfcsAQXdE&NR=1 this video made me cry a lot i hope it would be recognized here. it is really awesome vide. the title of this vid is 5 years of SNSD – until forever ends…
Watching all these videos really made me emotional. lol!
Another one FMV that I really love to replay again and again is an FMV for their 4th anniversary:
SNSD – Four Years, Still Strong. <3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMBsrw2FuVw
Watching these video’s makes me appreciate the girls even more. I love being a SONE and I love you guys. <3
how about this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_H5K5C4Q0Q

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UqyX4BlFI8
i hope sunnyaegyeofy will make FMV again.. her FMV is all good..
I love her videos too!! I was so shocked to see that she made a Taeny video after she “left”
wow, daebak !!! thank you !!
One Love is my favorite FMV as well. I think it’s a great video to show people who haven’t heard of the girls before since it shows every side of them and a lot of their music without sending them to a million videos. It’s beautifully done. Who ever made it is very talented and had a lot of time on their hands.
All of the videos are really well done. I’ve made a few FMV’s and wish they are/were/can be as good as these all are. I can still try and practice tho. :) They are such an inspiration.
I wasn’t able to watch all videos in part1. Anyhow, thanks again SSF.
Feels like an anniversary tribute to SNSD. One Love and Never Forget deserve to be mentioned. I can’t explain the joy I have inside while watching these videos. The love is just too overwhelming.
SONEs, you guys are EPIC~! Thank you for making those videos. Helps me a lot to know them more.
One love is definitely a touching video. One Kind of Farewell, I can totally understand SunnyAegyoify’s message through that video. I really liked another FMV it’s called 5 years of SNSD – until forever ends. Anyway FMV are always good.
I mentioned that video down at the bottom, I really like it as well. It truly captures their perseverance.
One Love is a well deserved first place…i’ve never seen a better fmv. i cry each time i watch it. it displays the love the girls have towards each other the best, and also why we sones love them so much.
That is my favorite FMV too.. (One Love) It is very well edited, very emotional video..
Thanks for writing this.. You are so great!!:)
I love all these videos, but ever since I heard of SNSDs story, I’ve thought ‘Never Forget’ would be a great song for them to cover at their concerts. It’s a great song for a pop band at the top of their game. Credit to Padme for editing it together brilliantly.
I really enjoyed all of your choices. I can’t get over how incredible the song is in SunnyAegyoify’s video. And I really loved watching the more unknown FMVs you chose.
Thanks for the work you put into this!
Well… I watched “One Love” again, and I must admit that it moves me more than all the others. Those who worked hard to make that video should be given medals. I take back my previous statement, as it very well deserves to be #1 in my opinion at least.
Well I was anticipating this post for since I first saw the last poll confirming it. I’ve easily spent over an hour between here and youtube now and it’s 7:18am, so I should probably get some sleep. All these FMVs get me so emotional, and you didn’t disappoint at delivering quality FMVs.
Thanks again!
Soshified’s own video WOULD be number 1 eh? Haha I’m just giving you a hard time. While I would put that video in my top 5, maybe top 3, it’s not my favorite.
I have feel like I HAVE to mention a few videos here, because they move me so much.
First I’d like to mention this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt9wOwgwB4c
“120908 Girls’ Generation_Eye Contact 직캠”
This is a wonderful compilation of fancams in which the one of the girls is making eye contact with the fancam, usually providing excellent fanservice and just being cute. Never gets old.
Second is “5 years of SNSD – until forever ends” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhQfcsAQXdE
This video is a chronicle of the girl’s career all the way to their 5th anniversary, from all the pre-debut speculation, ups, downs, happy times, and sad times. I always, always, always get choked up watching this video and quite emotional, but afterwards I feel proud, confident, and happy for all their accomplishments despite hardships, their unwavering loyalty to each other, and the outlook for the future. This would tied for #1 on my list with the following video..
Lastly I want to mention “Girls’ Generation – Paradise” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8WMPupUH8g
This video is a short but powerful piece. It starts with Tiffany answering an interview question with the greatest answer any Sone could want to hear, which is touching and a bit moving itself. All the while clips from “Girls Go To School” are playing in the background. After her answer, the song ‘Paradise’ comes in, while the GGTS clips continue, climaxing with Taeyeon yelling off the bridge scene. Suddenly the song explodes and we transition into a bunch of powerful concert clips, that show just how far the girls have come from their first stage to now, touring Asia in such magnificent fashion. I ALWAYS get chills from this video and sometimes watery eyes if I’m feeling especially nostalgic. Again another video to make any Sone extremely proud.
Wow I didn’t expect to write so much, but I have suchs trong feelings for these videos, that I just had to share. I hope anyone who takes the time to read this (although it’s not the actual article) enjoys these extra videos as much as I do, and thank you for reading.
The ‘Paradise’ video has other clips in the second half as well, but I don’t want to spoil it all.
Paradise is by far my favorite FMV, and personally I was surprised to see it didn’t make the list. Everyone should watch it <3 I cry every time ;~;
