On August 15th, Seohyun posted a message on Girls’ Generation’s official website commemorating Korea’s Independence Day, or Gwangbokjeol. Gwangbokjeol is celebrated on August 15th every year and marks V-J Day, which ended colonial rule of Korea.
[From. SEOHYUN]: Everyone~!
Everyone~! Today is the 68th anniversary of Korea’s Liberation Day!^^
For the people who sacrificed themselves for the independence of the Republic of Korea
Let’s spend the day with a grateful heart, meditating on the meaning of Independence Day!^^♥

#1 reason why Seohyun has potential to become something bigger outside the entertainment industry, like being a world leader/president for her country. Congrats to South Korea for their independence!!! S.K. Hwaiting!!! :)
She needs to get Instagram. She posts to the website so much, I think she would enjoy having an Instagram. :) And that picture is really pretty. <3

yeah, happy independence day for Korea and Indonesia ^_^
annyeong chingu, I come from Bogor, INA too.. glad to meet you here in ssf :D
while other celebs will be only thinking about their next schedule and themselves, here we have Seohyun who is busy with group schedule and yet she still remembers something important as S.K.’s Independence Day. A very important day for all the S.K. citizens. also she’s in another country, so it’s even more special that she sent a message encouraging her fellow citizens on this day. ONLY the future great diplomat with a caring heart would think of this. GO SEOLADY!
thanks for the translations SSF staffs ♥♥♥
I vote Seohyun for President of Earth :P
Why would you want to ruin her life like that? XD
Universe :)
Great ~♥
It is not enough for a nation to be independent, it must also produce citizens who are worth the sacrifices made by their forebears.
Seohyun once again proves that the Republic of Korea has met that standard!
she’s really amazing
Today is also the 67th Independence day of India more reason to celebrate Happy Independence day to Korea
Future world leader Seohyun never fails to pay her respects on important days.
Congratulations to all of South Korea for their continued independence and the prosperity that has come with it! Remember the past but look forward to an even brighter future!
