It’d be nice if we could start wonderfully and smile until the end for this album as well!
Nobody can touch SNSD when we’re well armed! We’re the best! Hurray! keke

To my family, whom I need no words for. The only people who have a part of me, my family.
Thank you this time around again^^ I love you, and you are so dear to me. Let’s go on many trips together!
You are always considerate.. and you are always helping me understand what it is to be wise, and you are always ready whenever and wherever.
I thank you for having that heart.. I will be like you^^ I will try harder and concentrate. Thank you, I miss you!

Also, to those who always make me laugh! Our proud SMTOWN sunbaes and hoobaes, let’s get to know each other more. Heh heh heh.
And lastly… my friends whom I’m most thankful for and who are always at my side, giving me strength while I lend you mine, and for always feeling everything with me.. SONE^^ Thank you so, so much.
I’m thankful and I’m sorry that we are able to share our happiness and sadness with each other.
Because there are so many people, even far away across oceans that I can share my feelings with.. I want to make you much more happy^^

It is right before the time that we can bring out this gift - this gift that we’ve put everything into like we have for no other - to shine in this world..^^
This nervousness and excitement you get when you’re preparing a gift for someone special…
You know, the joy of giving is greater than the joy of receiving~ Thank you so much for letting me be able to feel that joy..*
Loveable Kwon CEO~! Dad! I don’t know what I did that is so good, but you constantly tell me, “good job~ good job~” every day!
I don’t always know why you say it to me, but your daughter always feels reassured, and because of those simple words that make me happy, I feel like I did a good job this time, too! Please take good care of me in the future as well ^.~
Madame Kim, who has become so much more beautiful lately~ Mom, you know I’m so happy to be your daughter, right?!

Also! To everyone who loves SNSD~! Thank you♥
I feel good because I think my sincere feelings are being understood~♥



SOOYOUNG
It’s been 4 years now since SNSD started^^!
There was a time when all I wanted to do was debut and then once I debuted, there was a time when I was upset that I couldn’t live like other girls my age... But the reason I was okay with all of that was because of all of you who have bought this album and are reading the THANKS TO! Messages
Heh heh.. When I give love to someone, my foolish heart causes me to expect love in return, so there are times when I get hurt from others..
It would be so good if I could sacrifice without expecting anything in return, but I guess I am not yet ready to love in such a mature way.. haha
And when I think about it… if I gave my energy and love to all of you while on stage and I didn’t receive that love back in return, then I probably would not have been here today.
Because I am not strong enough to be able to continue this work without receiving love in return.
In that sense, all of you are “loveable” people to me, for you are always giving me this mature kind of love and allowing me to do the work I love in happiness.

To God, who has taught us about genuine love through Your thorough sacrifice,
I still have a long way to go, but.. Lord, I will master Your love soon.. and give love. I am more thankful than words can express.

To my safe refuge where I return to being the maknae daughter Sooyoung, not SNSD’s Sooyoung.. my parents, my unnie, my family.. and even Jjangee…^^ I will become the humble maknae daughter Sooyoung, I love you♡
Those who support me with prayers and chatter^^.. Pastor, unnies and oppas, friends.. I’m always thankful.. I don’t think there’s any better way to repay you guys than with prayer. I will be praying.. ;)

My eight best friends.. I’ve said this before, but.. if it weren’t for you guys, there would have been no reason for me to be in SNSD.
To my friends who have become my reason, and at times, my excuse.. Whenever I see you guys on stage, I am so proud and thankful to the point of tears. I love you!!!
Please show lots of love for SNSD’s 3rd album which was made by the efforts of many people^^.
GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY PERSON THAT OWNS THIS ALBUM ♡



YOONA
To the ones whom I love the most, who are always a firm cheering squad for me - my family!! I'm always thankful… I love you ♥
