[13.01.09] SNSD wants _____ to listen to their mini album
SNSDhas returned. Nine member girl group SNSD has released their 2nd albumGee on the 7th. It is a mini album with five tracks on it, releasednine months after their first album. They have gathered immenseinterest and anticipation, after their first album sold over 100,000copies, confirming their status as a symbol of excellence in the musicindustry. Less than a day after its release, the title track Gee hitnumber one on all the online music charts. On the morning of the 9th, Imet with the girls at their Kangnam SM Entertainment office, andalthough their faces may look young, their maturity showed during theinterview, with Tiffany saying "We're so thankful that people like itand so we're even more careful and anxious" and Sooyoung added "Wepoured ourselves out for these five tracks on the album."
I asked them who they would want to listen to their mini album.

Yuri: "To oppas and unnies tired and exhausted from work"
Geeis a bright and cheerful song. Today's market is not good and there aremany people having hardships. The people going to work have alot ofstress. I hope that this song can give them energy and strength
-
Sunny: "To my sister, who is going to be a mother soon"
Iam soon going to be an aunt. My sister, who is 15 years older than me,is going to give birth soon. My unnie still seems like a girl. I guessall women are like that. We may call them grandmother or ajumma(middle-aged lady), but in their hearts, they're all girls. As youlisten to Gee, I think everyone becomes a girl in that moment.
-
Jessica: "To my friends studying abroad that are lonely"
Mostof my friends are all abroad studying. It's very lonely and difficultfor them to be living apart from their parents at such a young age.There is a part in our second track called "Him Nae!" that says "Havestrength! You've already come this far! This is nothing at all". I wantto send that song to all my friends.
-
Yoona: "To the college students that will be entering their first year with me"
Irecently got accepted to Dongook University, and I'm excited andnervous. I guess all college freshmen feel like this? Our second albumhas alot of tracks dealing with starting a new love, but I think thatfeeling could also be similar to how it feels to start college as well.
-
Seohyun: "To old couples wanting to find that feeling again"
Theysay that old couples lose their feelings after a long time. But, Ibelieve that they always are wanting to have that excitement andnervousness. Even as you grow older, I don't think you ever want tolose something that precious. I want to give those couples our song astheir background music.
-
Hyoyeon: "I want to give it to overseas singers Chris Brown and Beyonce"
Ijust suddenly thought of those two singers. Maybe its because they'remy favorite singers. Although they won't understand anything, I wouldbe happy if they just thought to themselves "Oh there's really cutesingers in Korea." If it comes out that they've heard our songs, Iguess alot of attention would be gathered to us as well. Was that tooselfish of me? hehe..
-
Sooyoung: "To my mother who is always believing in me and watching over me"
Aswe were recording our third track "Dear Mom", all of the members criedso much. Every single one of the lyrics is our story. I think of thisone line that says "Without a word, you watched over me from afar". Ilove you, mom.
-
Taeyeon: "To people starting out on a new path"
Aswe were preparing for our album, all the members shared alot of storieswith each other. I remember we said to each other "Let's not forgetthis heart as we start anew". There's probably alot of people that arepreparing to do something new in this new year. We send you this songso we can all start strongly together.

Tiffany: "I... just want to listen to it together with everyone''
Asong becomes a song from the moment someone listens to it. Depending onyour circumstance, the songs may have different meanings for you. Justas how us nine brought our voices together and made it, I want everyonewho has love in their hearts to come together and listen to it with us.That is when our music truly begins.
