Sooyoung Posts a Message for Girls’ Generation’s Comeback: ‘SONE always deserves better!!:)’

Following yesterday’s announcement of Girls’ Generation’s comeback with “Mr.Mr.”, Sooyoung posted a message and photo on Girls’ Generation’s official website to show her gratitude towards fans.

[From. SOOYOUNG]: SONE always deserves better!!:)

Finally, formally, officially~~

Girls’ Generation’s comeback, doodoong!! It’s been announced!?ㅎㅎ

In the meantime.. Our fans were going, “We miss SoShi~”.. Then, “I want to see them soon~”..
And then, “I want to see them right now~”.. and then how you felt like, “Whoa!! I’d be happy if they would just come out now!!”
I know it all:-( hing..

You all have the right to hope for this or that and more

You all tucked away your feelings, one by one, and even if it wasn’t for a long time, wanting to see us as a whole

You worked hard at voting.. ㅜㅜ I wanted to express my thanks each and every time..
But I didn’t know what to start with, so I think that’s why it wasn’t easy ㅜㅜ .. ㅎㅎ
Lately, I’ve been thinking how important the “etiquette”
of expressing feelings of sorriness and thanks is the closer you are..ㅎㅎ

Because the other members are communicating with you through sns during our 1 year break,

I’m hoping the emptiness would have been filled at least a little bit..

For the long time you believed and waited for us
I don’t know if it’s because we got the thoughts of needing to show you our better music and performances..
But we wanted to spend more time preparing perfectly^_^
Our SONE.. Always have to see the best things.. It’s only suitable for you to see the best things..
You have the right.. And you can hope for more^_^

Starting today, it’s now SoShi day, every day ! Let’s run!! ㅎㅎ

Let’s.. meet soon.^_^!!!
