SNSD have just posted a message to fans on their official website. Hereâ??s a rough translation of it:
To Everyone Who Loves SNSD:
Hello, this is SNSD..
This is the first time weâ??re leaving a message on our website.
We shouldâ??ve done it earlierâ?¦ T_T
Since weâ??ve debuted, weâ??ve been receiving lots of support from you guys for the past ten months. The reason that weâ??ve been so successful is you.
In retrospect, we have lots of good memories to relive, donâ??t we?
The debut performance that weâ??ve been waiting and dreaming about for so longâ?¦ Our first fan meeting that we held right after the first performanceâ?¦ The first time we reached #1, which made us cry so muchâ?¦ The â??new artist awardâ?? that we aspired to when we were traineesâ?¦ Into The New World, Kissing You and Baby Baby. ^^ Despite the busy schedules we were happy.
We thank our fans for giving us such happy memories. ^^
Our busy ten months were full of precious memoriesâ?¦ but there were moments that we now regretâ?¦ And our hearts are heavyâ?¦ Those regretful moments made us more mature and learn a lotâ?¦ Our inappropriate comments and actions, our failure to use more proper and respectful language and so on have hurt many people, to whom we sincerely apologize. We will try to be more considerate in our behavior.
We want to thank everyone who loved and believed in us. There are no words to describe how thankful we are for our fans who waved pink balloons wherever we went. To return your favor, we will work harder and sing with all our hearts.
We are preparing to show you a new side of SNSD!
For people who support us, we are studying hard and trying our best to better ourselvesâ?¦ Please look forward to it~
Be healthy and happy! ^^ <3
Hmmâ?¦ I donâ??t know what to make of it. It kinda pisses me off that the girls have to apologize for such trivial things as correcting someone elseâ??s English pronunciation, but then this may finally shut those antis up for good.
