Girls’ Generation “kid leader” Taeyeon first confessed, “While promoting for our unit, the burden to do well had increased immensely.“ After further inquiry for her thoughts, Taeyeon clarified, “Although it feels more burdensome representing Taetiseo compared to representing Girls’ Generation, I enjoyed fulfilling this opportunity to the utmost, [as I was able to] sing, which gives me joy.”

Fellow Taetiseo member, Tiffany, shared her thoughts concerning her style during Taetiseo’s promotions, as she said, “Since a red hairstyle suited Nicole Kidman in ‘Moulin Rouge’, I decided to try it out first-hand and see if it suits me.”
