It's a song I fell in love with from the beginning. "

    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

  • ITZY's Yuna reveals her mom shaped her head like a protractor when she was a baby and fans can't stop laughing

    ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

    On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

    She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

    When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

    She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

    Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

    Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

    When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

    Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

    Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

    Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

    Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

    Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
