Girls' Generation SooYoung, "I lost my money in 3 days to my younger siblings"
February 5, 2008
-On this New Year, where are you planning to be?
▶It's been a long time since I was with my family, so I think we'll have a good time together. At home, I'll watch TV, and I want to eat tteok guk* that my mom cooks.
-What is your best memory of New Year's so far?
▶When I was younger, I lost all my money to give to my younger siblings in 3 days.** Haha.
-Last August, you debuted with a single and became a singer, but you probably still have some feelings left over. What is the feeling of this New Year?
▶At New Year, my debut has become a big issue with my family. Until now, for the last 7 years, my family would ask me, "When is your debut?" (in fact, I wanted to get out and run away~hehe). But in this New Year, it seems that Girls' Generation has a really happy feeling.
-Can you introduce to us what your whole family does for fun on the holidays?
▶We make food together and help each other with it. So the moms don't have a hard time! We all help with our dads, so it can be really fun and enjoyable.
-After your debut, for this New Year, what is your best memory that stands out?
▶Of course the New Artist Award and when we got #1. Awards like that give a good feeling. It makes all the hard work feel worthwhile♡.
-What are the next plans for Girls' Generation?
▶Continuing "Kissing You" activites and the sitcom "Unstoppable Marriage".
-Your last words you want readers of Money Today Star News to know?
▶This past year you have given a lot of love to Girls' Generation, and in return we can work enthusiastically. Thank you so much♡. This New Year's I hope you can all spend time with your families, and please buy Girls' Generation's CD as a gift to your younger siblings. Hehe. Happy New Year~.

Additional Notes!
* Tteok guk is a rice cake soup served on New Year's.
** It is custom to give money for New Years.^^ SooYoung means here that she lost all her money because she gave it away. T_T
