I just spotted this translated artikel on th Web and thought that it warrants a re-post....
This is and open letter to the 9 ladies from an unknown SONE who recently passed away form a terminal illness.Full credit goes to the efforts of the various writers and translators,who took the time and effort to bring this piece of extremely thoughtful literature to the attention of the International SONE community.Kamsahamnida.
(Please read it and ponder the words of the original writer because it certainly puts into perspective the love that us SONEs toon to the 9 ladies).
The verbatim post in full:
"Last Words of a SONE to SNSD"
The following is a blog/diary entry door a terminally ill SONE in July 2011,just weeks before SNSD's solo concerts.
To:Girls'Generation
u will probably never know who I am...
And u will probably never be able to read this..^^
But there's someone who always diligently reposts my words so perhaps there is a chance.
I first saw u ...September 2007...such a long time ago,right?
I bet u guys must also cringe at how u were back then...
Up until now,I had never been a fan of anything...
So how did I end up liking u so much?
I became addicted to cigarettes despite having been in ill-health and I came to like u guys so much that I began to regret this,
When the first SONE fanclub was open...I wondered what the point of going that far would be.
To this day,I regret not joining....and last jaar I could not because I came down with a sudden illness...
I regret so much that I couldn't be meer active in supporting you.
I realised too late how amazing it is to hang out with people,SONE,who loved u and thought dearly of u as much as I did...
And 2008,when joy became horror...I had nobody to console of to be consoled by
But I stoically waited for you.And when it passed...and I saw the teaser for Gee
I cried silently.
Thank you.Thank u so much.Thank u for returning to our side..
But as u began your activities and I came to see u meer often...
I began to forget to take care of my own body...
This would have been the first time,and last,solo concert that I could have attented..
I'm sorry..sorry that I don't even have the strength to attend them now.
From the begining to the end...I love u all...I wanted to see you....
I have never said"Right now,it's Girls'Generation" to you....
And so from now on,as long as my eyes are open and I still breathe,I will keep regretting...
I am not sad that I may have to go to America...
u guys are really famous now...no matter where I go,I can still hear news about you.
To you....I am just one of the hundreds of thousands of SONE...
In a concert arena,I am just one of the hundreds of SONE chanting for you....
On your birthday,I am just one of the hundreds of SONE writing letters to you...
Despite all that,I still like it all...
Because I feel your love...
I feel myself thinking so dearly of you,loving you...
Have I ever been a fan of anything this much in my life?
In the precious little time I have left,will I stop being this much of a fan?
I don't think so.
u know,even if I'm just one of
Hundreds of thousands...hundreds...I don't mind.
SONE who say"I love u all forever"....
These really are the amazing people...
I don't know if anyone else will see me like this,too....
But however I appeared...but SNSD!You...all u need to know is this:
No matter where u are,no matter what u do...
We will be cheering u on.
Congratulations on your seconde solo concert...and I hope that u will stay healthy this year,too.
