[02.09.11] SNSD' Fan Cafes Congratulate Sooyoung's 22nd Birthday With Donations-Volunteer Work

"You always light up the area around you with your bright smile. We wish 'Sooyoung', whose heart is also beautiful, a happy birthday." SNSD's fan cafe members from Cistus and Hwa Soo Eun Hwa sent their heartwarming 22nd birthday wishes for Sooyoung on the 10th by donating and conducting volunteer work. With Sooyoung's birthday coming up, SNSD fans donated 2 million won worth of happy beans to an infant home in Gwangju on the 29th of January, along with volunteer work at the foundation. SNSD fans started donating 2 million won in happy beans for every members' birthday last year. Fans also donated for emergency aid in Haiti under SNSD's name, setting an example of desireable fan activities. Fans also garnered attention with their happy birthday ad in a sports newspaper. Part of the ad read, "You, who turns around and extends a helping hand to an alienated, dark, and sad place, are always beautiful." The 'oppa' and 'samchon' members of the Cistus fan cafe posted an ad earlier this year in Sports Seoul, wishing SNSD members good health and activeness. They also donated 1 million won under SNSD's name for the aid project by childrens' foundation in Choongbok, giving new school supplies to students in need. *Birthday ad translation: You always light up the area around you with your bright smile. You are beautiful without even trying and your blatant words are comforting and fresh. You, who turns around and extends a helping hand to an alienated, dark, and sad place, are always beautiful. We will continue to support and love you like the first time, just like how you thank fans with an unchanging heart and voice. February 10th is SNSD 'Sooyoung's' 22nd birthday. We wish 'Sooyoung', whose heart is also beautiful, a sincere happy birthday.* **Happy Bean is a donating/volunteering campaign within the portal site Naver. A 'bean' is given to Naver members when they post a certain number of times on blogs. Each 'bean' is worth 100 won, and they can be donated to any of the foundations listed on the Happy Bean page.
