Taeyeon

Taeyeon is the lead singer of Korean girl group Girls Generation (see previous post), I gotta admit that she is part of the reason I love Girls Generation so much. Taeyeon is an amzing singer and dancer, she debuted as the leader of Girls generation in 2004 and she achieved the lifetime achievement award at her high school graduation in 2008.

Taeyeon is the oldest member of Girls Generation, during interviews she is very hilarious and she tends to make a fool of herself. My favourite song is The Boys, and Taeyeon looks and sounds amazing in that video. She is also a member of the sub unit Girls Generation TTs along with Tiffany and Seohyun.

Girls Generation is one of Korea's biggest girl group and they debuted in 2007, and they have even managed to crack Japan as well as releasing a song across europe. They are a group made up of 9 members, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun, Jessica, Hyoyeon, Sunny, Sooyoung, Yoona and Yuri.

 
Their Biggest selling single to date is Gee, the song spent 9 weeks at the top of Gaon chart, and the song has sold 4,894,567 downloads. The song set the record for longest chart topping song, and it was the most viewed K-Pop video with 84.5million views.


There is also a sub-unit to girls generation consisting of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun and the released their first single Twinkle in 2012. The sub-unit will feature all members of Girl Generation, and they will be switching members with the release of a new album and the change in concept of each album.


They recorded their first full english song in 2011 called The boys and the song has received mostly positive feedback, mostly praising their improved choreography. I hope that they release more english videos, but I'm just as happy listening to the Korean songs.
