Unforgettable SNSD Moments in the Philippines



With the recent news of Tiffany, Sooyoung and Seohyun not renewing their contracts with SM Entertainment and leaving Girls' Generation, the entire KPOP Community is at loss of words to one of Kpop's most successful girl groups. Philippines, having one of the country with the most number of SONEs (SNSD's fans) is also grieving at this sudden news. 

On a lighter note, these girls have brought so much bliss to Filipino Sones especially when they went here not once but twice for a concert. And as a fan, these moments are the moments worth treasuring for a very long time. 

Let's look back at some of the unforgettable Soshi moments in the Philippines:



SNSD's epic entrance during Best of Best




Who will forget the time when the girls greeted the Philippine Arena with an epic entrance. The venue were filled with colorful lightsticks and one color that stood out was the color "Pink" which represented the fandom color of SNSD. Screams of excitement to see them were clearly felt by themselves, truly the best of best night for every fangirls and fanboys.



Members noticed Soshified PH Small Hearts Fan Project


Sooyoung Choi 최수영(@hotsootuff)님의 공유 게시물님,


It's always a best feeling when a fan is able to see his bias up close but for Filipino Sones, being noticed by the members themselves is truly a one in a million experience. During their second visit here to attend Best of Best, the fans prepared a fan project for the girls. Hundreds of finger heart foam banners were distributed to the fans and were raised during their entire stage performances. After the concert, member Sooyoung posted a photo on her instagram with the caption "#loveyoutoo #Philippines#thanks #seeyousoon 💕". Such a sweet act from her!



SNSD teased the fans with Catch Me If You Can



Another memory that is surely worth remembering was when the girls teased their pinoy fans with their upcoming song, "Catch Me If You Can" during their Best of Best Concert. Hyoyeon did not hesitate and joined Taeyeon on their first attempt, meanwhile the other members followed afterwards. 



Soshi's ninja moves in Boracay





Last 2011, three of the members, Sooyoung, Yuri, and Taeyeon went to Boracay for a vacation. This sudden visit took the filipino netizens by storm. Meanwhile, Yuri returned to the Philippines a few more times after to visit her cousin, and to shoot a film with actor, Lee Jong Suk.



Tiffany's "Philippines, Put it back on"




The award winning song, Genie was performed as their entrance during DKFC 1 last January 19, 2013. One of the highlight of this performance was when Tiffany said her iconic line, "Philippines, put it back on" during the bridge part. It was really a lovable moment to remember.



SNSD OT9 stage 



Lastly, and the most treasured moment for every filipino Sones was SNSD's OT9 stage. The fans were able to witness their charisma and lively perfomance, singing to their hit songs, and interacting with the fans. It was short but it sure lasted in every fans' hearts.

It's not hard to attain this look. It's all in the matter of choosing the right size and length for your body, color, and right make up. Plain, striped and mostly neutral colors are the perfect recipes to complete this look. Match it with high heels to emphasize the length of your legs, put minimal accessories as it will outshine your outfit, and nude tone make up to balance your overall appearance.
