SNSD Full Reunion and Emotional Honesty Show Why SONEs Still Stay

Eighteen years and still shining bright,
Laughter and tears echo through the night—
When eight hearts beat as one, the world remembers.

Tiffany has finally spoken up and retracted her past comment about Lim YoonA allegedly having a “center disease.” In episode 15 of the YouTube series Talk to Face, released on July 30 through the Boogle channel, the Girls’ Generation member and show host openly expressed her regret regarding her previous remark.

In the episode, Tiffany sat down with YoonA and Ahn Bo Hyun to talk about various topics—including their acting projects and the dynamics of their long-standing friendship. But the spotlight eventually shifted to one emotional moment: when YoonA candidly expressed her discomfort about Tiffany’s old joke, where she once said YoonA had a “center disease”—a term commonly used among fans to describe idols who are obsessed with being the center of attention in a group.

“I used to be told I had a center disease. But it was never like that,” YoonA said. She shared how the comment had followed her outside of SNSD activities and continued to be referenced publicly. Recognizing this, Tiffany immediately corrected herself: “YoonA is a natural center. But the one who actually has the real center disease is Sooyoung,” she said, laughing. She then admitted, “I was the problem. The article headlines were annoying. YoonA doesn’t have a center disease. That’s that.”

Interestingly, fans weren’t offended by the term “center disease” at all—quite the opposite. In fact, the SONE fandom responded with playful and lighthearted comments, especially on TikTok. Many fans didn’t hesitate to name the real “culprit”—and it clearly wasn’t YoonA:

“Even just reading the headline I knew who it was—none other than Sooyoung 🤣🤣 everyone in the world knows, it’s exhausting 🤣🤣🤣”

“Even if Tiffany didn’t spill it, the person herself already admitted it 🗿”

“SOOYOUNG HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA”

“Every SONE probably instantly thought of Jung Kyung Ho’s beloved girlfriend, aka Sooyoung 😂”

“LOL it’s Sooyoung. It’s been an open secret 😭”

These comments reflect how SONEs have long understood SNSD’s internal dynamics—with affection and humor. There was no blame or conflict, only a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the members’ honesty. Tiffany’s clarification was warmly received, further proving how the bond between Girls’ Generation and their fans has matured with time.

Tiffany also commented on YoonA’s personality type, saying that although she has an introverted MBTI (I), her public role often forces her to express high-energy, extroverted traits. “She must be so exhausted,” Tiffany remarked, clarifying again that she had been referring to a drama character, not YoonA personally. In that moment, Tiffany repeatedly corrected herself—another sign of how genuine friendships are built on awareness and humility.

SNSD Reunites Ahead of Their 18th Anniversary, X and Instagram Flooded with Comeback Requests

The moment between Tiffany and YoonA on Talk to Face felt even more meaningful as it happened amid the emotional high of Girls’ Generation’s full-member reunion ahead of their 18th debut anniversary on August 5. For the first time in a while, all members—including Sunny, who had missed last year’s celebration due to staying in the U.S.—were present.

On August 1, Tiffany shared a new group photo on her personal Instagram account. In the picture, the entire SNSD lineup smiled brightly as they celebrated Tiffany’s birthday, while also marking the upcoming anniversary of their debut. Within minutes, her comment section was flooded with thousands of birthday wishes. But many fans also pointed out the bigger surprise of the day: the long-awaited OT8 moment.

Standout comments included:

“Reunion concert please ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“World Tour please!!”

“It’s your birthday but the fans are the ones getting the surprise, Panny aahhhh 😭”

The excitement didn’t stop there. On X (formerly Twitter), fans from around the world expressed their joy and anticipation:

“COMPLETE OT8 in 2025 😭😭😭 world tour in 2027 💞💞💞”

“Full group picture 🩷🩷🥹👑👑👑 always loving my queens 🩷18 anniversary is coming 🩷”

“EVERYONE SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SNSD COMEBACK IN 2 YEARS”

Since their debut under SM Entertainment in 2007 as a nine-member girl group, SNSD has delivered timeless hits like “Into the New World,” “Gee,” “Oh!”, “Genie,” and “FOREVER 1.” Though Jessica has since left and the group now promotes as eight members, their power and influence remain undeniable.

Today, each member is actively pursuing solo careers—Tiffany in musical theater, and YoonA in acting, with her upcoming drama tvN’s The Demon’s Chef and film The Devil’s Move On on the horizon. Still, every time they reunite, the SNSD spirit feels whole and untouched. Fans continue to hope for more than just reunion photos—they’re holding out for a stage comeback too.

These fan responses show one truth that hasn’t changed since 2007: the love for Girls’ Generation continues to live on and grow. In a K-pop industry that moves at lightning speed, SNSD remains a symbol of lasting friendship, empowered women, and an unbreakable fandom bond that time cannot dim.
