Sooyoung's Father Starting Campaign to help the Blind!


Recently, SNSD's Sooyoung’s father mentioned that he will be starting a campaign to help cure blindness. Despite the fact that he, himself is experiencing a trouble with his eyesight, that does not seem to affect his warmhearted. Girls' Generation's members such as Tiffany, Yuri, Sooyoung and Seohyun will also help Sooyoung’s father in this note-worthy campaign by providing him the materials needed for the genetic research to cure blindness.

It looks like not only the girls are thoughtful, but compassion seems to run in Sooyoung’s family too!
Let's hope that this campaign will be successful and a lot of people will be helped!
