After the surprising news last night that Girls' Generation's Taeyeon was in a relationship with junior label mate EXO's Baekhyun, she took to Twitter to personally address SONEs about this.
She wrote in the comments section of her Instagram account on June 19, "SONEs. Because of me, you were very shocked and hurt today, right? I am really sorry for making you feel things you should not have had to feel and the article that came out today because I was not more careful. I really want to apologize. I'm really sorry for hurting you."
She continued in another comment, "I feel like you would feel many different things like great disappointment, anger, hatred, frustration, and dejection. I can accept all of that and I want to apologize because, it might just be me thinking this way, but you must have liked, trusted, and supported me as well as put effort and strength just as much."
In two more comments she wrote, "I feel like no matter what I say right now, it could all be perceived differently. I'm not trying to explain myself, but rather I want to speak to you in the hopes that you would stop hurting at least one day earlier. I did not post these with that intention at all, but most of the people on Instagram... 'I had fun putting up blatant pictures on Instagram. I mocked the fans.' I felt like there were a lot of people who were thinking this way, so I wanted to get my words in; that was not my intention or goal at all..."
The last part may be in relation to the similarities between Baekhyun and Taeyeon's selcas as noted in the above picture. Perhaps certain people believed that the two were purposely doing this, hence mocking their clueless fans. However, Taeyeon insisted that was a misunderstanding.
