In honor of Yuri’s birthday on December 5th, fans of Girls’ Generation placed a poem in a newspaper advertisement. Pictured above, the poem reads:
A lovely and beautiful figure
more brilliant than the color of a pearl.
A pure and mysterious smile
that even wakes sleeping souls.
We pray for you
with undying passion
and unchanging hearts.
We really love you.
Happy Birthday
♥ Yuri ♥
We wish Girls’ Generation’s Yuri a happy 24th birthday ^0^
Look back at any time. ♥
We’ll be there. ♥
We are happy SONEs who cheer for Girls’ Generation whenever/wherever.
[Black Pearl] You’re so beautiful, but if you dazzle too, we can’t look at you…
Fans also took to Twitter to express their well-wishes for Yuri’s birthday, trending “#TodayIsYuriDay”, “Happy Birthday Kwon Yuri”, and “#권유리생일축하해” (editor’s note: this translates to “Happy Birthday Kwon Yuri”) on the worldwide trends.
