Yuri, “It’s already the 11th anniversary of Girls’ Generation and SONE [Girls’ Generation’s official fan club name].” Sunny continued, “SONE has worked hard while spending a long time together with Girls’ Generation, and I think you’ve made good memories too, so congratulations! Also, it’s thanks to SONE that Girls’ Generation was able to celebrate this meaningful 11th anniversary, so I’m really, really happy. Thank you.”

She added, “These days, when I receive really touching letters that say things like, ‘Unni, I was an elementary school student [when I became a fan], but I just got a job,’ I’m filled with emotion.” 

Sunny, “When junior artists say, ‘Unni, I dreamt [of becoming a singer] while watching you and Girls’ Generation, I feel both grateful and burdened.”

And concluded, “SONE! I sincerely congratulate you on our 11th anniversary and sincerely congratulate the members as well. Also, thank you to the staff who always help us by our side.” She then promised their fans, “We’ll continue to promote more and will remain by your side.” Sunny added, “It’s a generation where the lifespan is 100 years, so let’s last for a long time.”

Hyoyeon, “11 years is a really long time. The fact that we’ve been together for such a long time means a lot, and I can’t not love you.”

YoonA, “When it was our 10th anniversary, it felt unbelievable, but our 11th anniversary feels even more unbelievable. I feel like time is flying by even faster [than before], and it makes me wonder how time is going by so fast. But I hope SONE and Girls’ Generation can continue to spend great times together like this for a long time.”

Taeyeon, “We have always showed you many new things through our new albums, new projects, solo promotions, and more, so I hope that you’ll continue to look forward to seeing new sides of Girls’ Generation in the future. I hope you’ll always gain strength from listening to our songs and from watching us, I hope we can continue to move forward together in the future. Let’s be together for a long time.”
