I'm a Chinese-Vietnamese-Caucasian senior in high school who lives in an Asian (mainly Chinese) dominant city in southern California. Unfortunately not in JeTi's San Francisco, but very near where Tiffany grew up. I was born in Garden Grove, Northern Orange County. I gained interest in SNSD in October 2012 and have been following them ever since. Especially Jessica noona.
 
Let me tell you why I like SNSD. The following is copy and pasted from my post introducing myself:
 
My reason for liking SNSD is not because I'm a 17 18 year old guy who likes seeing pretty girls who sing and dance well. As a senior in high school who has his whole life ahead of him, I know that things are barely starting to get tough, and it will only continue to get harder from here on. It's just that things get a bit too difficult sometimes, but SNSD is there to lift both my mood and spirits, and I'm very thankful for that. And it's not just limited to their music. While I'm smitten with Jessica, being an Asian American, I can relate to Tiffany's background the most. How she went to Korea alone at the bare age of 16 to follow her dreams while struggling to cross a cultural barrier through sheer hard work places her as the member that I give the most respect to. This isn't just limited to the girl who shines brighter than mushrooms. Through their achievements, professionalism that shines through the harshest of criticism, and special kind of love they show to their fans, SNSD in their entirety can brighten practically anyone's day.
