On 'You Quiz on the Block,' Sooyoung expressed her deep gratitude toward her fellow SNSD members.
On the episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on the 6th, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung appeared as guests.
Sooyoung brought up touching memories of being thankful to the members while talking about her father, who lost his eyesight.
Sooyoung said, "My father has Retinitis Pigmentosa. It has been about 15 years since he developed the illness. He can barely see now," and added, "He is currently serving as the chairman of an organization dedicated to preventing blindness."
At her father's suggestion, Sooyoung had been quietly doing related volunteer work and donations. One day, Yuri asked her, "Your father is doing such a meaningful work. Why didn't you tell us?"
Sooyoung shared, "Yuri made a donation, and the other members have been donating consistently as well," and added, "It feels like they're helping me carry even my family's burdens," showing the members' strong loyalty.
Yuri was reportedly the first member to step forward, saying, "Let's do anything we can do to help Sooyoung's dad's work." Sooyoung expressed her gratitude toward Yuri, saying, "It's really great to have someone who notices without me even having to say anything."
In response, Yuri said, "I think we naturally came to take care of not only work-related things, but also each other's family matters and personal lives," showing the strong bond SNSD has built over more than 20 years together.
