Future Endeavours
In October 2017, it was revealed that Sooyoung decided not to renew her contract with S.M. Entertainment. She has now signed under Saram Entertainment, and will continue to pursue her acting and music career, whilst still being a member of Girls' Generation.
“I consider the experiences and time spent living as Girls’ Generation is precious. When listening to
lectures at school, there were things that I was good at like a veteran, that I learned through Girls’
Generation activities. At times like that, I always think. ‘I’m an expert in this area’. It’s a kind of pride
I feel as a Girls’ Generation member that’s different from the pride you gain from school. Up until
not too long ago, I lived without properly seeing the important things I had. Now, everything is
'my stage’, ‘my music’, and ‘my acting’. I think they’re all times that will never come again. If I realised
this much earlier, I would have been happier a bit faster. They were days that passed by so
unfortunately.” - Sooyoung
