Dear Jessica,
So much has changed since Girls’ Generation’s last anniversary. Just one year ago, I was celebrating the group’s seventh year together. Girls’ Generation’s contracts were renewed, and it seemed we would be going on together for a long time. A tour in Japan had just finished, and I was looking forward to what might be coming next. At the time, I would have given anything for Girls’ Generation to have a set of promotions as amazing as the group is receiving now. A song like “PARTY”, a show like “Channel Girls’ Generation”, and Girls’ Generation with the member who hates running the most on “Running Man”, what more could I want? And then, of course, September 30th happened.
As I write this, I realize that to some, September 30th is a date that might be almost as important as August 5th. As much as August 5th was the start of Girls’ Generation, September 30th was a new start for you. For me though, September 30th was different: it was the end of Forever 9 and the end of hearing “Jessi” and “Sica”. It was when I realized I was wrong, that there was something I wouldn’t give up for all the promotions and variety shows and concerts in the world: a nine-membered Girls’ Generation. So for a while, my thinking changed. Instead, I would have given up anything to have you back. Because really, what are albums and tours compared to all nine members in group photos, or seeing happy birthday wishes between you all, or a Jessica channel on “Channel Girls’ Generation” with all the others? For me, it’s an easy choice.
Well, it was an easy choice, until I realized that I was wrong again. There was something that I wouldn’t give up, but this time something that I wouldn’t give up to have you back: your happiness. Whatever the circumstances of your leaving may have been, since then, you’ve done more than anyone could have imagined. You’ve gone all over the world, met and worked with global stars, and continued to build your fashion line. You’ve been to invited to fashion shows and television programs, and onto magazine feature after magazine feature. You opened an Instagram account to go along with your Weibo, have shared dozens of photos with your many fans who always love to see any and all updates from you, and had a birthday party with fans overseas. You’ve done so much that you may never have been able to if you had the obligations of a member of Girls’ Generation, and even though as I would love to have you back, it means more to me that you’re happy, and doing well as you forge ahead on your own. You’ve moved on, and I’ve realized that I should too.
But moving on doesn’t mean forgetting. I look forward to the future and what you’ll do, but will always cherish the memories of when you were with Girls’ Generation. I’ll always remember you pulling Sunny from standing too close to the edge of a platform at a concert, and your random English moments with Tiffany, and when you made salted kimbap and vinegar sandwiches with Yoona, and how you used to make Seohyun sit on your lap, and when you went to watch Hyoyeon on “Dancing with the Stars”, and your ridiculous commercial with Taeyeon, and whatever this was with Sooyoung, and your attempt at cooking with Yuri, and when you drew “소녀시대” in the sand and tried to prevent the waves from washing it away, and so so so much more. I hope to make more memories with you and Girls’ Generation, but I won’t forget the old ones.
So I guess some things are still the same as from one year ago. Those memories are still precious, maybe even more so. When I see eight members, it still feels like someone is missing. And most importantly, even though you may not be in Girls’ Generation anymore, I still wish you all the happiness and success in the world, just as I do for all the members, for the seven years’ worth of memories you’ve given me. You deserve nothing less. Happy anniversary, Jessica.
