#SNSD

Members arrived almost exactly 8pm. They entered one by one, and then lined up, greeted "Hello, we're Girls' Generation." Fans cheered and girls smiled. Then came couple seconds of awkwardness. Hyoyeon broke the silence by saying "Fansign begins!" #SNSD

Order for tonight's fansign from left to right

Taeyeon-Sooyoung-YoonA-Tiffany-Hyoyeon-Sunny #SNSD

First fan wasn't even on the stage but Sunny already burst out laughing while talking to Hyoyeon. Those two were loudest and laughed a lot during the fansign. #SNSD

When there was no one in front of Tiffany, she waved to fans and suddenly spit out a small sigh. Fans laughed and wondered why, but she didn't tell us. (To avoid confusion, it was a joyful sigh cause she was smiling while doing do.) #SNSD

Sooyoung, "Are you guys not allowed to make a sound at all?"

Fans, "We can."

Sooyoung, "What? Then let us head you! Anyone coming to fanmeeting?"

Fans raised hands.

Sooyoung, "I see." #SNSD

Sooyoung talked to us the most during the fansign, asked questions and even told us to take photos even without getting permission from staffs. So sweet. #SNSD

During fansign, young fan cried while talking to Tiffany (or Hyoyeon, or Sunny, or all three of them, not sure from my seat) then Tif-Hyo-Sun sang first part of Lucky Like That to ease her. So funny and heartwarming. #SNSD

Tiffany, Hyoyeon, and Sunny were like teams tonight. They kept talking and making jokes even to the fans standing in front of other 2s. That's why it was hard to tell if certain situation happened when fans were talking to whom. They talked together a lot. #SNSD

At the latter part of fansign, Taeyeon and Sooyoung looked bored (because they finished their due), talked to each other and then Sooyoung suddenly said "You wanna take a picture?" Fans cheered, obviously. #SNSD

Sooyoung and Taeyeon came forward and made pose for us to take a picture. YoonA just finished her due, and saw those two. She moved to their backside, climbed up to a chair and made pose without letting them know. Fans laughed. #SNSD

Sound of camera shutter flew all over the place for a while, and staffs thought enough is enough. They asked us to stop it, since there will be a photo time later on.

Sooyoung (to staffs), "My bad." and then said "I think we should listen to oppa(staff)". #SNSD

Fan shouted "You look pretty tonight!"

Sooyoung, "It was my own decision, but it looks like as if me and Taeyeon discussed concept together." #SNSD

Tiffany, "Isn't Sunny look pretty tonight?"

Fans cheered and Sunny was like 'oh stop it'

Tiffany, "She looks like Cardcaptor Sakura" #SNSD

Sooyoung, "Sunny looks really pretty. In fact, I took a picture of her, will you upload it on IG, Sunny? Oh, it was taken with Hyoyeon's phone, I think she won't upload it." #SNSD

Sooyoung, "Btw, when will you upload a picture I took for you, Taeyeon?"

Taeyeon, "Um, I'm looking for a proper time. We do have another one, I believe from Music Bank?" #SNSD

Sooyoung (to fans) "Which song do you like the best in this album?"

Fans shouted various names, and Forever 1 was among them, obviously.

Sooyoung, "I think someone put drugs into Forever 1. Drug which makes us cry." #SNSD

Fans asked Sooyoung which one is her favorite.

Sooyoung, "Mine changes every time I listen to the album. Geez, what an album it is!" (Fans laughed) #SNSD

Sooyoung, "Did you think about the outfit for fanmeeting?"

Fans all laughed.

YoonA, "Is that.....a dress code for the fanmeeting?"

Fans laughed again. #SNSD

Taeyeon looked uneasy while listening to this conversation.

Taeyeon, "OK, I'll explain what happened."

Taeyeon, "Do you remember 'Honey' incident? (fans laughed) It was the 2nd coming of that incident." #SNSD

Taeyeon, "I received an order from SM, then told you Pink Cosmic Festa dress code via Bubble."

Girls, "Ah~~~(now I get it)"

Taeyeon, "Well, SM asked about it, so I said fine, I'll tell fans about it."

Sooyoung, "Ah, so you took the lead for us." #SNSD

Taeyeon, "But, I couldn't tell our members."

YoonA, "All of a sudden, dress code was set."

Sooyoung, "Though there was a communication issue, I agreed."

Taeyeon, "Since fans need time to prepare, they said it needs to be informed quick. That's why I couldn't tell you." #SNSD

Taeyeon, "Anyway, please wear outfit which suits the concept well." #SNSD

Girls gave us time to take photos. Then they sat at the front row, and staff took a picture with girls and fans. #SNSD

#SNSD and fans shouted slogan together in the end, then the whole fansign meeting was over.

Tiffany, "Let's have fun on this Saturday."

Then they greeted and gone.

OK, now let me write down my personal conversations with girls. #SNSD

1. Taeyeon

Me: Hi, it's been so long.
TY: Hi, nice to see you.
Me: It's so nice to see you again. In fact, I went to SMT concert.
TY: Oh, you did?
Me: Yes. And your solo stage was the first among #SNSD's. I was so emotional when I heard INVU.

Me: And I realized it was the first concert I attended since your Unseen concert back in early 2020. Maybe that's why I was emotional.
TY: I know. The Unseen, my last concert. Thank you so much for coming.
Me: Thank you. Hope we meet again soon. #SNSD

Then I had to move to the next member because staffs behind her urged me to do so. I greeted her and moved on. Taeyeon left a remark which says "Thank you for even coming to SMT concert." She knows it requires extra effort lol #SNSD

2. Sooyoung

Me: Hi, it's nice to see you today.
Sooyoung: I know, I really wanted to come yesterday.
Me: I know I'm late to the party, but since I couldn't make it to fansign 5 years ago, I need to tell you this now. #SNSD

Me: I love the lyrics of 'Sailing', and I vividly remember the moment I heard the song first. Time, location, I still remember everything.
Sooyoung: (smile) I think I can understand the feeling. Thank you, it's so nice to hear it from you. #SNSD

Me: Seriously, I personally call you the grand prize winner of SONE literary award.
Sooyoung: (laugh)
Me: And that IG post recently! How could you post such a thing at night, I couldn't sleep because of that!
Sooyoung: (laugh) But night time is proper for such posting. #SNSD

Me: Well, you have a point. (laugh)

Then I had to move.

Me: Thank you so much and see you later.
Sooyoung: Thank you! #SNSD

3. YoonA

Me: Hi, it's nice to see you today.
YoonA: Yeah, I wanted to come yesterday but the schedule wouldn't allow me to do so. (then she lowered her voice and winced) But I can't understand why they informed you so late. #SNSD

Me: At least we can see you today. Btw, it's been a long time for me to attend a fansign, so I checked and found out the fansign for your solo album was the last one for me.
YoonA: Ah, you attended that fansigns! #SNSD

Me: In fact, I asked you when will you release your 2nd solo album then, but it's still good to see you like this.
YoonA: (laugh) Sorry, but instead I did a lot of solo acts in dramas and movies for you. I'll think about 2nd album when these drama/movie things are over. #SNSD

Me: I'll keep that in mind. (laugh)
YoonA: Uh, you are oppa, right?
Me: Uh, it's okay. (Note: What I meant was, it's ok to call me oppa or not, whatever you want)
YoonA: You're not?
Me: Uh, I am, in fact. Thank you. (laugh) #SNSD

My time was up, I had to move on.

YoonA: Thank you for always coming and supporting.
Me: Thank you. And I will go to the stage greeting of Confidential Assignment 2, too. See you there.
YoonA: (laugh) Got it. See you! #SNSD

4. Tiffany

Me: Hi, it's so nice to see you like this. Though I was at your solo fansigns, it feels different.
Tiffany: I know. I mean, look at them (she pointed the direction of Tae-Soo-Yoong) it's loud and noisy. (laugh)
Me: Haha, I love it. #SNSD

Tiffany: So, which fansigns of mine did you attend? IJWD, or Lips on Lips?
Me: I was talking about the latter one.
Tiffany: Ah! I see. That one.
Me: Oh, and also the one from H&M.
Tiffany: Oh, right. But that one not too far from our 6th album promo, right?
Me: Yes. #SNSD

Me: Oh, and I love your song Villain.
Tiffany: (smile) Thank you.
Me: And I love your part in 'Lucky Like That' so much. 'We already know the meaning of....'
Tiffany: (she interrupted me before I finish) We already know the meaning of goodbye which is not parting! #SNSD

Me: (laugh) Yeah, that part.
Tiffany: Yeah, I love that part so much, too. It's so touching. I love it so much, I even print that part out and hang it on my wall. (Note: I'm not 100% sure of her wordings here but it was like that) #SNSD

And this part here is perhaps the highlight of this fansign for me. When it's decided that I would go to fansign, I wondered what else should I do for girls. And during that time, long time fellow SONE of mine posted this image on the website. #SNSD

I thought it would be cool to turn this image to post card and give girls as 15th anniversary gift. So I texted him and asked his permission to do so, and gor it. I also told him I will relay his message to them as well. #SNSD

Making a post card with the image requires some additional works but eventually I made it on time. And this is the result. There are two versions, and the only difference between these two is Tiffany's eyes. He asked me to deliver both versions. #SNSD

So I prepared post cards for girls. Problem is, they won't let us to hand the gift out directly, due to covid. We had to put our gifts into the designated boxes. So I had to put both cards into each box of members. But I needed to show them and tell them this is from him. #SNSD

Hence, I brought post cards to the stage. At first, staff said it is not allowed, but I told him it's not for handing out, I already put it in the box, it's only for showing. He accepted. #SNSD

After that, I showed this post card at the end of my conversation with each member, and explained to them that this is a gift for 15th anniversary, the image is made by my friend and he wanted to tell you he's still a big fan of you. #SNSD

Taeyeon was like, "Um? I think I've seen that one."
Sooyoung was like, "Wait, I know that image!"
YoonA was like, "What? (then turned to Sooyoung) Isn't this one on our kakao chat room recently?" #SNSD

And then here comes Tiffany Young.

Tiffany, "OMG this is the image I uploaded on our kakao chat room, it's so cute!!!!"
Me: Wow, the image was made by my friend and I made it to a postcard, to hand it out as a gift for you."
Tiffany, "Really? Can you give it to me?" #SNSD

I thought she wanted to have one for her.

Me: Uh, in fact staffs said I cannot hand it to you directly so I already put it in your box.
Tiffany: No, that's not what I mean. I want to sign it for him.

Oh. My. God. #SNSD

Then she asked me to hand it over to the glass wall, so I did.

Tiffany: What's his name?
Me: Kang Dong.
Tiffany: Tell him we are thankful and love the image.

Then she signed the post card and gave it back to me.

This is her signature on the backside of post card. #SNSD

At this point, I was almost out of my mind, I barely remember what I said, but I spent too much time with Tiffany thanks to this incident, staffs behind her urged me to move on. So I said goodbye to her and moved on. #SNSD

For the record, I sent Mr. Kang Dong this picture and told him the story. Glad my idea paid off. :) #SNSD

5. Hyoyeon

Me: Hi
Hyoyeon: (smile) Hi
Me: I went to SMT concert and your Deep stage was so cool. I watched it from SONE seat and it was lit.
Hyoyeon: Thank you!
Me: You were so cool but later you also cried...(laugh)
Hyoyeon: (laugh) It was that kind of night. #SNSD

Me: I know. I became emotional as well after watching Forever 1 stage. I guess every SONE did the same.

Unfortunately, staffs urged me to move quickly over and over at this point (perhaps due to me spending too much time with Tiffany), so I had to say goodbye to her. #SNSD

6. Sunny

Sunny was already signing when I arrived lol

Me: Hi, it seems I'm being urged (laugh)
Sunny: (smile) Nah, I just wanted to sign it quick and have eye contact with you while talking.
Me: Thank you. Btw your pink hair is so pretty.
Sunny: Thanks! #SNSD

Me: Oh, and how do you feel now? Are you okay?
Sunny: (smile) Yes, I'm fine now.
Me: In fact, I got covid recently, too.
Sunny: Oh, you did? Was it bad? How do you feel now?
Me: My throat was burning at that time, but I'm fine now. Thank you. #SNSD

Sunny: Glad you're ok now.

My time was up, so I had to say goodbye.

Me: Thank you so much and I really hope to see you more, and soon.
Sunny: (smile) Thank you. Hope to see you again, too. #SNSD

This is it. My last #SNSD fansign was back in 2015, so I was quite nervous. (Yes, I still feel nervous every time I go to fansign even after all these years lol) But the atmosphere for the fansign was better than previous ones held by SM. It was more relaxing.

Staffs were still strict but they were mostly gentle (at least the way they talk feels that way compared to the past) and they even allowed us to take pictures during fansign which is unheard of in the past. (though part of that is due to Sooyoung's unexpected order lol) #SNSD

Girls looked relaxed and I can feel everyone enjoyed the moment. I especially liked the way Tiffany-Hyoyeon-Sunny played, they were loud, talkative, and funny. Everyone was so sweet even with the limited time they got for each fan. #SNSD

It feels sad that Yuri and Seohyun couldn't make it tonight, I had things to tell them in my mind, but maybe next time. Hopefully I don't have to wait far too long. #SNSD

P.S. Thank you so much for making my, and my friend's day, Tiffany. Will never forget the moment. #SNSD
