Kim Tae-yeon 


Tae-yeon peas in a pod selca

Tae-yeon uploaded a new selca to her UFO Star Call account the other day. It’s a new picture of her with her peas in a pod plushie. So cute! :D

She has uploaded a picture with the plushie before too and many airport photos show her carrying it with her. She actually has a whole bunch of them because when fans saw that she liked them, they bought more of them (mostly smaller ones) and threw them up onto the stage, like at SMTown New York:

I have to share these photos of Tae-yeon from SNSD’s concert in Hong Kong last Sunday. Unbelievably adorable! XD

They’re taken by Flying Petals. This is the page where I got them. There are even more pictures there.

 

I need to share this clip from Tae-yeon’s solo performance of the song I Love You (사랑해요) earlier today in Osaka. The song is from the soundtrack of K-drama Athena: Goddess of War.

I get goosebumps when Tae-yeon is on the verge of breaking into tears when singing “I’m sorry, I’m sorry”, but then powers through it. So intense and moving!

Every day I long for you
That’s how my day goes by
Where are you?

I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I can’t forget you
My love come back to me
Don’t leave my side, please

Oh, and if someone sitting within punching distance pulls that laser douchebaggery at Music Bank Paris… well, consider yourself warned.

 

Today Girls’ Generation won Music Bank’s K-chart for the 5th week in a row with The Boys! :D They beat the Wonder Girls with only 123 points. I knew it would be close, but I was hoping SNSD would win again.

Look at Tae-yeon and Tiffany at 0:59 :lol: . Tae-yeon has such funny expressions. I also liked how they joined in the fan-chant during the encore (2:00).

I absolutely love the outfits the girls are wearing in this performance of The Boys from Music Core. Great performance!

This aired on the 12th, but it was recorded on the 5th. Music Core has been lagging behind since they cancelled the show due to some baseball thing two weeks ago.

How do I know it’s from last week? Because I was there!! :D We got to stand right in front of the stage. Really close to the girls! They are so beautiful that it’s almost unreal! I tried to get a good look at all the girls, but I couldn’t help staring at Tae-yeon all the time :lol: . She just draws me in.

They edited the audience sound in the broadcast. We screamed so much that you almost couldn’t hear the music. We also did a fan-chant during the instrumental part, but they edited it out :( . And by “we” I mean SONE (SNSD fans, 소원/S♡NE).

I’ll take you through the whole thing: […] there’s more! »

 

The people who know me on twitter and facebook already know this but, last week I was in Seoul! It was totally awesome! I’m going to write more about it later. For now I’m posting pictures of some of the booty I brought home.

Let’s start with the SNSD stuff (yes, I need a separate picture for that :D ):

This is Tae-yeon’s solo performance of a Hush Hush; Hush Hush from SNSD’s first live tour DVD. The song is originally by Pussycat Dolls, which in turn borrows from Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive.

I’m usually not keen on K-Pop artists singing in English (except for IU), but Tae-yeon really pulls this off. I looked up the original (yeah, I’ve been pretty disconnected from Western mainstream music since I got into J/K-Pop) and I think that Tae-yeon does it better. I might be a bit biased, but that’s my opinion.

It’s been rumored that there will be English versions of some songs on SNSD’s upcoming album, including English version music videos. […] there’s more! »

 

I watched SNSD’s Into the New World First Asia Tour DVDs a couple of weeks ago. After performing a few songs, the girls lined up and introduced themselves one by one. Last one out was Tae-yeon:

ZOMG! I expected her to do something cutesy or dorky, not to be all seductive :shock: .

The Boys Tae-yeon teaser

Speaking of Tae-yeon and Girls’ Generation, the release date for their new album “The Boys” has been set. It will be released on iTunes worldwide on October 4th. Until then we’ll get teaser pictures and videos. The first teaser picture is of Tae-yeon. I don’t know what the concept will be exactly, but I guess we’ll know as the teasers keep coming.

It’s pretty funny how […] there’s more! »
