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 ♡
