From Yuri:

Waaaaaahhh It’s the 4th year already^^^^^^!!!!What I felt about the speed of time and what our fans feel would be the same right?!Our hearts are so close to each other…That we know each other even without confirming, right^^?! Yoyoyoyoyo!!Fast, isnt it?!!..right?!Actually, I thought it was really fast when it was our 1st anniversary… but we had 4 times of that time together.. wooowww we have really grown a lot.The memories we shared, or the depth of our thoughts for each other..I am really grateful.. to the extent I can’t even describe it in words…!You have no idea how happy and thankful it is for me to have people who support me no matter what I do or where I am.You know, a little while ago when I was looking at our girls~ members^^!I looked through their feet~it made me a bit teary~ㅠ-ㅠWhen we run around in heels during a three-hour long performance and practicing,We end up hurting our feet and sometimes we feel like our bodies are going to crash..Then it might bleed and bruise, sometimes even breaks~^^But again.. I told myself that it’s just something that we do..And I saw our members’ feet that can’t get worse and their calluses~When I looked into them they were actually all ruined~Even the shape.. The toe nails.. Unlike the beginning when they were all soft and nice..But even like this we must show ourselves, and it’s because of the strong sense of responsibility in us, we tried our best to cover up the scars of different colors^^And.. After 10 hours of long flight, even when we couldn’t help it but carry our swollen faces and bodies, even when we show our teeth and smile in front of the splash of flashes with our exhausted body, and the little pain I saw when we express our gratitude towards the fans smiling and supporting us…Pain.. pain..?! No! It’s cute pain!Letting us feel that such trivial inconvenience…and complaints.. As cute pain..Fans who allowed it to not be pain itself because it’s cute pain..And fans who supported us, even only for once..Thank you so much!!To these hearts… I would really like to repay them.It would take me my lifetime to give all the love back..^^?!And because I think it would take at least 14 years for you to enjoy what I’ve given back..Stay by our side till then.. Ok?! Thank you and thank you again and again and again!Our members, our staffs, please love them all~~~~~I’m going to do that too^^!! Yap

With five out of nine members leaving their messages on the official website, we hope to see messages from the other four girls soon too!

YoonA to take up rock climbing challenge in LA instead of Australia

YoonA is scheduled to embark on a rock-climbing challenge in a mountainous region in Los Angeles (LA) on August 8th. The rock-climbing challenge is part of YoonA’s advertisement shoot for outdoor clothing brand, Eider.

For the purpose of the shoot, YoonA will not be acting out the rock-climbing movements but in fact, she will be scaling the actual tough, rocky surface in LA. Because of this, YoonA, in the midst of her busy schedules with SNSD, has taken about a month to practice climbing artificial rock surfaces at a rock-climbing training centre in Seoul. The girls are currently having their vacation but YoonA is spending her holidays to practice rock-climbing ahead of her shooting sessions in LA.

YoonA and actor Lee Minho was schedule to shoot in Australia but due to safety issues related to climate change, the location has been changed to LA instead. Because of their respective schedules, YoonA and Lee Minho were only able to practice rock-climbing together for the first time on August 2nd.

An official who monitored YoonA’s rock-climbing practice hinted, “I’m sure YoonA is very busy due to SNSD’s activities but it seems that her rock-climbing technique is pretty good. I think she is ready for the actual rock-climbing”.

Recently, photos of YoonA’s rock-climbing practice which were uploaded on SNSD’s fancafe ‘HwaSuEunHwa’ and other online fan community sites have garnered a lot of interest among fans and netizens.

For the shooting session involving rock-climbing activities in LA, YoonA and Lee Minho will be fully equipped with safety devices and instructions as well as information from rock-climbing experts.

Jessica's fashion, that is both girly and chic, was chosen as the number one style that women want to imitate. Her airport fashion in particular gained attention for being both comfortable and stylish.

Stylist Lee Hyunbum complimented, "Jessica dresses really well, and has a good understanding of that certain style. I think she is the best within Girls' Generation."
