"For this 3rd album, there are wonderful people who have worked hard and silently from behind." she added.

"I always feel it while making albums, but I am very well aware that I am receiving help from so many people, and that the results they hear, understand, and express my opinions are things that cannot be achieved with normal concentration and normal mind. Thanks to all of our staff, managers, writers, knights, directors, etc., who are sincere, passionate, and know how to do it professionally even in difficult situations, thanks to all of you." she said.

"Everyone in the company said 'no', but I was in a situation where I said 'yes', but it was a song that made me feel like 'I'm going to try to convince you of this and 'I'm going to convince you," she explained.

The following is the full text of Taeyeon's Instagram post.

Completed 3rd full album. A project that started a long time ago. After several seasons, I finally hear it. For this 3rd album, there are the great people who have worked hard and silently in an invisible place. Unintentionally, I'm a little shy to be the first to be mentioned on this big project and be in the spotlight. 

It’s something I always feel while making albums, but I’m getting the help of so many people, and I know very well that the results they listen to, understand, and express my opinions are things that can’t be achieved with normal concentration and a normal mind. 

And all of that just comes as an emotion. Thanks to all of our staff, managers, writers, knights, directors, etc., who are sincere, passionate, and know how to do it professionally even in difficult situations, everything is completed thanks to you. 

Let's focus together on the album of singer 'Taeyeon', and I will dare to take the lead so that the time and effort spent on it are not in vain. You worked hard with me again on the next level. #INVU #3rdAlbum #TAEYEON #Taeyeon Thank you also to the fans who always believed and waited for Sowon

Dex recently had a fun and lighthearted chat with IVE's Jang Wonyoung, who is nine years younger than him, during an episode of Dex's Fridge Interview.

On January 16, the YouTube channel 117 uploaded the episode titled "Everything About Wonyoung From the Stars," featuring Jang Wonyoung as the special guest. The two shared laughs and talked openly in a cheerful atmosphere.

As soon as Jang Wonyoung entered the studio, Dex couldn’t hide his excitement, saying, "It felt like a strawberry was walking toward me."

He continued with sweet compliments, adding, "Even though it's winter, the energy Wonyoung brings feels like spring."

Dex went on to reveal, "Someone I know told me, ‘Jang Wonyoung is different,’ and now I understand. You’re truly extraordinary.”

The two guests, born in different generations (Dex in 1995 and Jang Wonyoung in 2002), joked about their age gap. When Dex mentioned the generational differences, Wonyoung reassured him, saying, “I actually like making friends with older people, like older sisters or people older than me.”

Taking a bold turn, Dex jokingly asked, “What’s the age limit for dating up?” Wonyoung, staying composed, laughed and said, “That’s such a funny question.” Dex, clearly amused, admitted, “I was hoping you’d be flustered, but you’re not fazed at all!”

Dex also revealed that he put extra effort into his appearance for the episode. “I tried to look as young as possible today, so I wore glasses,” he confessed.

Wonyoung playfully complimented him, saying, “They suit you well.” Blushing, Dex replied with a big smile, “Really?”

Meanwhile, IVE is gearing up for their official comeback. On January 13, they pre-released "Rebel Heart," the title track from their third EP, IVE EMPATHY. Fans can look forward to the full album release on February 3!
