yes, they've been doing this for so long it makes me so FKIN angry with these new gen children and haters. been a SONE since their debut and i was telling my my girlfriend's sister (shes 21) about it. her response? "they're just releasing a comeback cuz of jessica's book" and im like SNSD HAS BEEN WORKING SO LONG ON THIS. but of course, she's ARMY... typical. im too old for this.

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j I'm an army too, and a sone. (And i do stan a lot of groups, fron 2nd to 4th gen) I guess kids nowadays just focus on charts and numbers unlike before - we just enjoy music, performances and interactions.

@@patsu1025 Kids these days just chase after trends. Like if some ppl like it then they have to like it too ( even though they might not truly like it) in order to be relatable and trendy. If a group seems badass and dramatic then they tend to fall for it however the friendships and relationships between members they go for tends to be superficial as seen from a deeper perspective. They dislike elegant concepts and deem them to be having no strange presence when clearly the genre of the group/song is really not hip hop or rock that needs agressive dancing and looking badass with a scowl or seductive look always on their faces. Also introduction of lipsync and no live vocals really downgrade talented groups as they are kept on same pedastal( if not lower) than some untalented groups. And I also guarantee that most of the fans of the really popular groups ryt now only know two three groups but talk and act like they have studied phD in kpop. Also due to the westernization of kpop the true original essence of kpop is quite lost nowadays. Haha looks like I ranted quite a lot but still one shouldn't take these fake fans seriously cause one true fan that stays loyal for 10+ years is more valuable than a million fans. And btw I'm a young sone( like young in age 19-21 years range but have been a fan since 2009!) and snsd us the only group I stanned and will stan in the kpop industry. Truly THE LEGENDS.

@@user-tz9jh6pv2j what does being an army have to do with it???

Omg, I had the same thought too. The day I had my hands on the Forever 1 physical album, it rained so hard and the area where I live has been in extreme drought for a long long time. It's like Forever 1 album to Sone is that important and meaningful as water to drought.

And the fact 'Forever 1' climbing into TOP 5 in all South Korea major music charts after 2 weeks of the release is makes me happy

@@Marstatoy "no high notes" please be serious

@@Marstatoy So that's your opinion and it doesn't mean anything as this album was for their fans who waited for so long and we are content with it 😊 So Anna u better focus on your twice more and leave SNSD alone , please 🙏🏻

@@mattbins better ignore that guy. He leaves comment like that. He is maybe depressed.

me too!!! feel like we've grown up with snsd

Can I have the link where she shared that?? 🥹

@@huongnhi9353it wasn’t a video interview, just an article. I can’t find it anymore but it said exactly what the OP said. SM initially had them planned for just a single, but they fought to have a full album. Not sure why SM would even go that direction with SNSD. SNSD is their biggest girl group ever, even after all these years. Glad the girls used their voices and we were blessed with a great album.

I mean SM have been releasing the bts of their artist recordings

True

True. Forever 1 is for the fans. Soshi won everything there is to win, and has nothing to prove anymore 15 years in. Hell, Taeyeon alone is more successful than some other girlgroups....

Precisely,.. They think that SNSD is still in the same conversation with those 3rd generation Brats, and 4th generation punks... These girls has nothing left to prove.

I honestly think it would be diffcult for 2nd gen to promote more than 2 weeks. Most of them has other career they have to considered; at their age, idoling is no longer their only breadmaker. Take Yoona for example; apart from SNSD cb, she also busy with her new movie, at least one extremely popular drama (Big Mouth), and many other endorsements (she's the face of Estee Lauder Korea if I remember correctly). I cant imagine she's have the time and energy for long promotions.

@@kamuigrey4597 That’s not what I meant, even the younger groups are promoting for 2 weeks. The promotions have shortened IN GENERAL.

@kamuigrey4597 failed to comprehend your comment, and that's understandable. PROMOTIONS nowadays are getting poorer as time passes by,.... SNSD wouldn't compromise PROFESSIONALISM over FAME

I repeat that part several times!

full show, usually sones subs it

@@MsCheese2000 Do you know where i can watch it?

@@MsCheese2000 what's the name of the show please?
