Not sure what #SNSDtoMY means? It simply means ‘SNSD to Malaysia‘ and the hashtag went on to top Twitter’s world wide trending topic list, just 30 minutes after the first SONESEA ‘Trending The SEA‘ project kicked off at January 29h, 12am KST!

It was a success not only for Malaysian SONEs, but also South East Asia and all the SONEs in the world. It has been proven once again that Kpop is dominating the world stage and SNSD’s popularity have increased tremendously in the past couple of years. Malaysian SONEs have been dreaming of seeing the girls live in person for almost 4 years and it is time to have their voices heard. That effort was being channeled and echoed to the rest of the world through SONESEA, the South East Asia SNSD Fan Union‘s project ‘Trending The Sea‘ which started on January 29th at 12am KST. #SNSDtoMY being the first-leg of the project. For two months, there will be trending projects for the rest of the countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, Philippines, etc where fans in the countries in this region are very ‘hungry’ and ‘determined’ to go all out just to catch a glimpse of the girl.

As mentioned earlier, the victory belonged to all SONEs in the world. Due to the passion and love for the girls, SONEs joined hands and helped out one another to make their dreams come true. Like Tiffany said, strong chemistry and team work is the strength and key to a firm foundation of a group. Indeed this also applies to SONEs. Fans have been standing side by side supporting and loving the girls for almost 4 years now and #SNSDtoMy’s success on Twitter along with other successful activities such as Soshified’s meet-ups, NorCal SONEs flashmob, etc are the indication of how united SONEs are.

As there will be more trending projects coming up, it will be awesome to see #SNSDtoTH, #SNSDtoINA, #SNSDtoVN, #SNSDtoSG, #SNSDtoPH, etc taking the no.1 worldwide trending topic spot as well. Let’s turn those wishes into realities, SONEs.

Hopefully, these efforts will be translated into the realization of dreams for the SONEs in South East Asia.

UPDATE 1: #SNSDtoMY’s no.1 trending on Twitter being featured on Malaysian newspaper

The news of #SNSDtoMY‘s successful trending exercise on Twitter had garnered attention from local Malaysian newspaper, Borneo Post. On February 1st, an article on it was published. The sensitivity and awareness of the media to the Kpop reactions in various countries is important in cultivating interest and spreading the Korean Wave and of course, the Soshi love as well. Here’s a scan of the article.

During the past one week or so, there have been a lot of coverage on Soshi-related news by East Malaysian English daily, Borneo Post. Unfortunately, not much was being mentioned as the paper is available in East Malaysia only.

However, in comparison to other local papers, they cover a lot on Soshi and the best thing is that the news are very updated. With such coverage, I am confident that the Island of Borneo would turn PINK very soon, not physically. Well, you get the point -the whole island would be full of SONEs.

fanwonder.com would also like to take this opportunity to thank Borneo Post for reading the articles on my site and credited me in their articles as well.

Here are some shots of the articles:

So, if you’re in East Malaysia and would like to be updated with Soshi news daily, make sure you get a copy of the paper….and no, I’m not doing advertisements for them. I’m just being honest. Since they are good, they deserved praises from me.
