Exy: Cosmic Girls has already been together for 9 years, but it still doesn’t feel real. I feel renewed because we were able to create so many memories thanks to UJung (official fan club name) who have always supported and loved us since our debut. I hope we can make many more good memories in the future.

SeolA: When I think about the 9 years we’ve spent together with our friendship, it makes me tear up, and it gives me time to look back on the memories. I’m grateful that I was able to make many memories with our friendship for 9 years, and I’m so grateful that they’ve been my driving force moving forward. I’ll become a SeolA of WJSN who develops even more in the future.

Bona: I think I was able to work hard and run well for 9 years because of our friendship. I’m grateful for the endless support and love you’ve always given me, and I’ll continue to work hard and run great in return! Always friendship!

Soobin: The moments filled with laughter and tears during the 9 long years we’ve spent together have helped me grow even more, and the precious memories with our friendship have become my driving force. I’m grateful to the precious members who have silently been with WJSN until now, and I want to say that I’m so grateful and love that our friendships only look at us. I will try to make more time to see you to make up for the time we haven‘t been together, so please look forward to it.

Eunseo: I’m so happy that I can spend this special moment with Woojung. The support of our fans has allowed me to come this far. I will continue to work hard on all my activities so that I can receive more love in the future, so I hope you will continue to watch over me like you have been doing now. I will continue to continue all my activities without forgetting the love and attention you have given me, cherishing it in my heart.

I will do my best to receive a lot of love and support in the future while we spend more time together.

Dayoung: I was able to be active for 9 years thanks to the love of our fans. I tried to show myself not only through group activities but also through individual activities, such as YouTube and variety shows, and I am so grateful that so many fans recognized me. I will do my best to show more of myself as a member of WJSN in the future, along with my individual activities.

Yeonjung: The 9 years I spent with the members and fans will always be close to my heart. Thanks to the fans who always cheered me on, even when I couldn‘t see them, I was able to challenge myself in various fields, and I learned a lot in the process. Every moment I spent with the fans is precious, and I will continue to show a good side of myself as WJSN.
