Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, who's been riding high with her solo album 'To. X', spilled the beans on why she's been MIA from music shows.

On March 28th, Taeyeon popped up on the online channel '동해물과 백두은혁 Hey, Come here' web show '이쪽으로올래'. That day, Taeyeon didn't hold back, saying, "I'm not a fan of how music shows operate."

Taeyeon dropped her solo album 'To.X' in November last year. The title track, also named 'To.X', climbed up various music charts. On social media, challenge videos synced to the lyrics went viral, making it a massive hit.

But, the no-show of 'To.X' on music broadcasts left many fans feeling bummed. Taeyeon, talking about her absence from music shows, said, "I get it, but I think it's thoughtless to have to perform at dawn." It's common knowledge that music shows usually do their pre-recordings in the wee hours.

Taeyeon acknowledged, "There are things you can't avoid," and also thought about the music shows' perspective.

Super Junior's Eunhyuk, who was hosting, agreed with the harsh reality of music shows, saying, "There are budget constraints and many artists have to pre-record. It's inevitable."

Taeyeon expressed her disappointment that she can't give her best performance on music shows due to various factors. Instead, she feels it's way better to create other content and deliver a top-notch performance.

Eunhyuk chimed in, saying that while music shows were a must-do in the past, now there are plenty of other platforms to showcase talent. He nodded, saying, "It's right for me to strive for more, create better, and show something superior."

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
