<sub>Ceci: There is a strong bond among Girls’ Generation’s members, I always have a feeling that it isn’t any exaggeration. Why?

Taeyeon: Firstly, we can’t ignore the power of time. Jessica, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon and Yuri had been trainees since they were in elementary/primary school. We have been friends for 12 years. To reach this duration, instead of classify to colleagues, we feel an even stronger bond similar to real sisters. We know each other too well, so we couldn’t do anything that will result in making one of them dislike. Ah, obviously there were times we played jokes, knowingly doing actions that others dislike (Laugh). Also, we aren’t that girl as expected, so it’s kind of helpful too. When we gather, we just play like real kids in a village.</sub>
