"To the fans I love... To the fans who've been right by our side and protected us for such a long time... Hello, this is Girls' Generation's Seohyun. I'm very apologetic towards the fans who were confused and worried after the recent unexpected news.... I wanted to express my emotions, but I didn't want to make mistakes so I'm writing this after thinking and thinking again. Recently, I ended my relationship with SM Entertainment that's been like a nest and family to me. After a lot of worrying, I came to that difficult decision. My heart is filled with gratitude to teacher Lee Soo Man, who gave an average 12-year-old girl the opportunity to live a new life as Seohyun of Girls' Generation... I also met my precious unnies and my dependable SONE, and all the many moments we had crying and laughing the past 10 years are passing by like a kaleidoscope. From my time as a trainee who had to go through fierce competition to fulfill her dream to be a singer to the moment I debuted as Girls' Generation like it was fate, from my teens to my late 20s, we've always been together. The beautiful, countless happy days, how we were always on each other's side and saw things through, how we matured during difficult moments together, how we've run up to this point. All those moments are so very precious to me, and they're beautiful times that I'll never forget... And after 10 years, we've come to understand and respect through many conversations that we may have different desires for our future and the picture and colors of our lives vary a little. Though we may be together in a different way than we have before, the belief that we'll cheer each other on has not changed for me. After a lot of thought, I've concluded that I'll stand alone. I felt I needed to make new challenges in my life, and I had to make the decision in order to challenge myself. I'm now starting a new challenge as singer, actress, and human Seo Ju Hyun. However, I'll always do my best to be with the unnies when I'm needed as a part of Girls' Generation in the future, and I'll forever support and be with Girls' Generation... Though I feel uneasy about leaving my nest and starting everything anew, I'll take responsibility for the decision I've made after so much thought. I sincerely thank my countless fans and thank them again for trusting me and giving me so much love... I'll show you a Seo Ju Hyun who's always doing her best to be a dependable artist, actress, and person by your side that you can be proud of!"
