Girls' Generation’s Sooyoung revealed why she was so confident about being the center during her trainee days.

On September 11, Sooyoung appeared on the ‘Hyoyeon’s Level Up’ channel for the ‘Bobsa Hyoyeon’ segment.

In the video, Hyoyeon shared, “There was a moment when I felt envious of Sooyoung when we were about to debut. Sooyoung had already debuted in Japan and was preparing to debut as part of a trio. We were never supposed to be in a large group from the beginning.” She continued, “I was a bit upset at the time because I was three months junior to Sooyoung and felt envious of her debut.”

Sooyoung responded, “I thought I was really the ace. I was always included in the debut lineup. I believed I was the ace in SM’s eyes and the center with certainty.”

When Hyoyeon asked, “Didn’t you also do a duo? What did you expect for your comeback in Korea?” Sooyoung replied, “I dreamed of going solo but thought it wouldn’t work out. I expected to debut as a trio and still be the center, albeit awkwardly,” which elicited laughter.

Hyoyeon admitted, “We have something in common. When I kept getting external lessons while dancing, I thought, ‘Okay, I’ll be a solo artist.’”

Sooyoung agreed, “At that time, I only received lessons within SM, and sending someone for external lessons was quite rare. It meant ‘She has surpassed this class.’” Hyoyeon then said, “That made me a bit arrogant.”

Sooyoung confessed, “I thought, ‘Not being solo or the second BoA’ when they focused on us. It was a childish thought.”

Hyoyeon responded, “I think all the members thought that way,” and expressed pride in Girls' Generation, saying, “We gathered all our focus on vocals and other aspects and built ourselves up.”

BTS member Jin is finally back, and fans can’t stop talking about his new music video.

On May 16, Jin dropped his second mini album Echo, and the title track “Don’t Say You Love Me” is already making waves — especially because of the emotional scenes with actress Shin Se Kyung.

The MV is shot like a drama, showing powerful yet soft acting between Jin and Shin Se Kyung. Their natural eye contact, emotional scenes, and quiet chemistry have left fans saying, “Are they a real couple?” and “Please cast them in a real drama next time!”

But while their chemistry looked perfect on screen, Jin revealed that he was actually super nervous behind the scenes.

In a recent interview, Jin shared, “It was my first time acting with a professional actress, so I was really awkward and clumsy. I was so nervous that things didn’t go as I imagined.”

Still, he praised Shin Se Kyung for helping him through the scenes. “I was very thankful to Shin Se Kyung for her passionate acting. If you look closely, you might catch me looking awkward,” he said, laughing.

Jin also shared a funny moment during filming: “There was one scene in a parking lot, and the wind was blowing like crazy. My hair kept flying everywhere, and I couldn’t act properly. We ended up changing my hairstyle to finish filming.”

His new album Echo tells honest stories about love, friendship, choices, and emotions we feel in everyday life. Fans are touched by how personal and heartfelt Jin’s songs and acting are in this comeback.
