“Fifteen years as a group and my girls are still as relevant as ever. Happy anniversary to my main. I love you so much I am so ready for the comeback album,” a fan wrote on Twitter.
“Can I cry? Stanning SNSD since 2009. Naalala ko, ako lang may gusto sa kpop sa classroom namin. Di nyo alam yung feeling mga besss! Di nyo alam” another Filipino fan tweeted.
A Facebook user also wrote, “Happy anniversary! You are worth to wait. Forever a SONE.”
“I have been waiting for this forever. Forever 1! Happy 15th anniversary and. Counting for more years,” another fan said.
“Grumaduate ako ng elementary na sone ako, ngayong grumaduate ako ng college na sone pa rin,” a fan shared.
Another fan on Facebook also shared her experience of “stanning” the group when wifi, smartphones, and online music streaming platforms are not yet accessible.
After working, the fan said she would go to a computer rental shop to download music videos, live performances, and variety shows of Girls’ Generation and transfer the files to her laptop.
