Soy's encounter with Tiffany, Sunny, Sooyoung & Hyoyeon on Dec 28th 2009. Soy said it was on that very date, two years ago (2007), that she became a SONE.
[12.28.09] Second Year as a SONE was Epic, Original - KOREA!
Haha so today Lynn and I woke up later than usual and basically wasted like half our day inside. We decided to call up Michelle and did some (more) SPAO shopping and walked around Myungdong a bit spotting the usual SNSD goodies left and right (official and just lol random stuff with their faces printed on them). After Myungdong we decided to try the bulgogi burgers at Lotteria in Daedongmun and lol departed home.
While on the subway back home lol Lynn and I talked about how fail of a day it was, especially since it was my 2nd year as a SONE. So this crazy idea came up that we were just going to sit outside of SM for a bit and then leave. It's not something we usually do or normally do but I guess we figured we had nothing to lose and I just had a really good feeling about today.
We basically got back to our hotel lol packed my laptop and a blanket and water and our lotteria burgers and then tried our best to get a taxi to the SM building but unfortunately lol it was impossible to get a taxi this late at night. SO out of nowhere lol this rather drunk gentleman spoke to us in English "where are you going?" and we we responded back with the area/location and had this conversation to him and he showed us how to use the bus system. LOL he was pretty harmless and that was our first time using the bus system so you could say it was almost like fate.
We arrived there and basically sat behind the SM building lol and spoke in English making a lot of random fans go O.o lol. We ended up sitting and watching Invincible Youth (soshi subbed of course!) on my laptop in the freezing cold. It was like -1 C when we checked the weather. We barely waited there and lol we heard the car door open to one of the vans and rushed over there to see no other than Sunny almost going into the van. We shouted out "Sunny, we're from Soshified". And she was like "Oh Soshified! Hi". Her English was really good. We asked her where Tiffany was cause Lynn and I got them these 9 shirts and wanted to give it to them but we had to explain it to Tiffany first. Then lol she cutely pointed to the building and said Tiffany was in there. So we complimented her on how cute she is in person and how amazing the concert was. She looked even more gorgeous than last time and we told her she looked so pretty without makeup and she blushingly said "thank you!".
Then out of nowhere shortly Tiffany appeared. Tiffany looked really tired but wow her eye-smile (this was my first time seeing it in person and so up close) was memorizing. You can tell she was really tired. She was surprised to see us ... haha so we were like "Hey Tiffany, we're Soshified!" And her face lit up. Then she noticed how cold we were and hugged us. Then Sunny hugged us as well. We were like "Tiffany do you remember us from Hollywood Bowl" and she looked at us for a bit and was like "Oh yeah of course! I remember you guys.." (to be honest that made my night). Lynn was telling her how she looks a lot skinnier and I told her lol she needs to stop doing those weird diets and she was like they've been really busy lately and apparently their hell is over the 31st. So we talked about how American fans usually don't do this, lol we usually don't do this, and she was like "Yeah I understand haha". I couldn't help but focus on Sunny's face the whole time because it looked like she understood everything. Then we mentioned that we got Tiffany a bag of Cheetos from America lol but left them at Ida's place and out of nowhere to the right of us we heard this huge "CHEETOOOOS?" with a cute voice haha and it was Sunny. Her face like lit up like crazy when we mentioned Cheetos and it was the cutest thing ever. Then we talked about the gifts and how she just got them and she's been too busy lately to to logon and do much of anything. Haha she said the girls loved the pink christmas tree and it was a very Soshified thing to send them. And she was very thankful for everything. We then talked about how amazing their concert was haha and I told Sunny I realllllly enjoyed her "Sunny" performance and she was like "aww thank you!" Tiffany said thanks to us for coming all the way there to see them perform. We talked a bit about how we both came from like Southern states and haven't seen snow in ages lol and we waited for them and even about how the drunk guy showed us the bus system haha and Tiffany was like "aww I'm praying for you guys!" It was a very Tiffany thing to say at the moment and just the way she said it was in itself a blessing! Haha and she hugged again for like the nth time haha because she understood how difficult this was. And then we brought over the shirts we ended up getting the girls. They have a huge 9 on them and on the back they say "a family that prays together, stays together" and Tiffany seemed to have really liked them. We talked a bit about colleges in America and random things and she said random stuff like "Oh it's an American thing".
Then Sooyoung and Hyoyeon came out. And Tiffany was like "oh there's the rest of the girls" and said something in Korean like "oh they're from Soshified" and Sooyoung and Hyoyeon both went "oh Soshified?". Lol and Sooyoung like walked over to us lol tried to give us a handshake but we just went up to hug her haha. And started saying "Thank you ... for all the support .... and gifts ..." in like impressively good English. We were like "woah your English is really good" haha and Lynn was like "you did a good job teaching them Tiffany" and Tiffany was like "haha I know" and said that actually all the girls are pretty good at speaking English they just don't show it often. And then we saw Hyo climb into the car sitting in the passenger seat. But then we heard a huge "woah woah" and saw Hyo at the driver's seat and was like Uhhhhh. Tiffany was like "oh it's ok she has her driver's license". And we were like ohhhhh ok. Haha and I went where is yours, Tiffany? And she said it was in the process lol. And then haha some other things were mentioned blah blah ... then haha we said bye and Hugged them all again and then saw Hyoyeon backing up the car and driving them back home with no manager.
We talked a bit with Tiffany about other things. We told her our gift packages have been decreasing because this year we've been focusing more on charity donations and she appreciated that. She said that she, herself, donated to a charity in Shanghai Children's fund but didn'twant to make it public because it usually got too out of hand and became too big of a thing over in Korea.
Haha we talked about some things at the end lol and she promised us something haha and I was like "don't lie ..." haha and Tiffany held my hand and said she never lies. Her hands were extremely warm lol and I forgot to wear gloves so I was freezing.
LOL so during this whole conversation the Manager was just standing there, I guess he was overwhelmed by all of the English.
Some things were omitted from the conversation we had with the girls haha because they were pretty private so I hope everyone understands and just enjoys what I can give from this fan account.
I just want to say how amazing it is that now when we say Soshified, haha the girls know what it is exactly, that's shows that we've gotten somewhere in my eyes when our girls know and follow our site as much as they do.
What an epic night! I might have forgotten certain things but forgive me haha I was too happy/cold to really remember everything. We asked for a picture again this time but haha we got something better that can't be posted but lol cause we were like right infront of the SM building haha we said it was ok cause we knew it would be difficult for her to let us take a picture like that.

That was a good read. Cute Sunny with her "CHEEETOOOS?" LOL. And Tiffany, you're such a darling! She knows the girls are freezing, and hugged them. Don't that make you go "awww"? It did, to me!
Ok, look, i know for sure that SNSD will always have antis and the hating will never end. That's just reality check and, as stupid as this sounds, it would be better if it stays like that. The antis made my love for the girls grew, thank you for that antis (no sarcasms implied). From what i've read in most of the fan-accounts, the above article as an example, these girls are really sweet. Hey, at least, eventhough SNSD has heck lot of antis; their fanbase is pretty big. Antis and fans: we're even. Hearing the antis trashing the girls is really irritating and just makes me wanna swear, I admit, but I can live with that. Heck, I've been living with it my whole SONE life and I'm still alive! Haha! All is fair in love and war. Never really get what that means though so I'm applying it with how i want it to mean. You bash the girls, you're doing what you want to do. We listen to you and it just makes us love and protect the girls. Get it? Both sides of the party get what you want. You get to bash and we get to love them. See? Fair, right? An agreement we dont' even need to sign on the papers.
Bye!!!
