A screencap of the message and the translation have been attached below. [Translation] S♥NE~~ It's already been 4 years since we met!!^^ Time really flies. We've been busy with our concert and going to Japan but we're really happy because it seems you guys have continued loving and waiting for us~ We cried and laughed, and there have been lots of memories the past 4 years Let's make more happy memories in the future^^ And don't forget the first time we met! hehe I feel everything Girls' Generation was able to accomplish was because it was done with the fans so I'm always thankful and sorry.. We'll work hard to prepare a greater us to repay you all!! Thank you so much for always waiting and loving us♥ I love you, too~~~^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seohyun continued the festivites by posting a lengthy message of her own, as well as a selca to accompany it. [Translation] SONE~! Hello~ This is Girls' Generation's maknae Seohyun^^ Today is Girls' Generation's 4th birthday~! Enjoyable moments, happy moments, and tiring moments from the past 4 years.. Because all nine of us have SONEs, Although it has been a long time, looking back, every day was special and a good experience which is how we could get through it all.. Young, immature girls that didn't know anything grew while making many dreams come true for 4 years and learned and felt many things. Despite us not being perfect, I honestly thank you all for loving and supporting us equally. It's only been 4 years!! We want to make bigger dreams come true through your love and strength!! SONE! Until Girls' Generation becomes 40 years old.. I hope we can make memories together.. Forever^^ With Girls' Generation in your lives, and SONEs in our's we've been very happy, and until the day we can reminisce..! We will work harder!! Right now it's Girls' Generation♥ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tiffany followed up with a quite blurb about her birthday celebration, including a picture of the members.

I requested a firebolt a long time ago, but still haven't gotten it.... Hehe I love you and thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yuri was the next member to leave a cute selca and a message that was even longer than the previous ones. [Translation] Wahhhhhhhh it's been 4 years already^^^^^^^!!!!! The speed of time I felt is the same that our fans probably felt, right?! I know that we feel the same way now.. Its something that is known without being confirmed^^?!! Yoyoyoyo!! It's fast, right?!!.. Honestly, I felt that it was really fast when it was our 1st anniversary.. But we've been together for exactly 4 times that amount.. Woooow we've probably grown a lot~ From memories we've shared, to the depth of how much we think of one another.. I'm thankful.. So much that it can't be expressed...! You have no idea how happy and thankful it is to have people that cheer you on no matter where you are and what you do. Not too long ago, in the waiting room, my kid~ members^^! I glanced at all of their feet~ And my heart wrenched a little~ ㅠㅡㅠ After running around and practicing in heels for a concert that runs over 3 hours our feet have scars and there are times that our bodies feel like they're about to break.. Then it can bleed and bruise, and sometimes breaks, too~^^ But even still.. I've been doing it because we had to.. But I saw that now, the members' feet have become destroyed in every way with calluses all over~ Looking at them carefully, their feet are really all destroyed~ The shape of their feet.. their toenails.. So different from when they were soft when we first started.. But maybe because they've grown so intensely with the sense of responsobility of having to show themselves to others They've tried to cover any trace of their scars with different colors in any way they could^^ And... after being on plane rides that are over 10 hours long, their faces and bodies are helplessly swollen, And they have to carry their exhausted bodies and walk into a full shower of camera flashes I've seen their pain of trying to relay their thankfulness to the fans who wait for them and support them, while having to smile no matter what... Pains... pains...?! No! Cute pain! These small inconveniences..and complaints.. our fans allowed us to call them cute pains.. And because they're cute pains,they're no longer painful.. Thank you to all the fans who looked after and supported Girls' Generation, even if it was only for one time!! I want to repay this feeling to everyone.. Even if I say I'll live by giving as much love as I've received, I think I'll have trouble doing so the rest of my life..^^! If you want to enjoy my repayment, it seems like you'll have to wait 14 years at the least... So you have to always be by our side until then, okay!? Thank you, and thank you again and again and again! Please treasure and love our members and our staff lots and lots~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I will too^^!!
