“I am insecure about my big toe’s toenail,” she said. “ I injured it four times in the same place.”

The singer then went on to explain, “Hearing this may make some people uncomfortable, but my big toenail ‘ran away’. So basically… it’s in a state where it’s just barely sitting on my toe.”

Taeyeon then recounted the times when she injured her toe. “I recently injured it again. It got caught in the heel of the shoe and my toenail fell off… Once when I was young, I was riding my bicycle and got my toenail caught in the wheel“.

She expressed her sadness as she said, “I recently injured my left foot’s big toenail. I can’t wear sandals or slippers in the summer because of my big toenail“.

Sunny Talks About Breakfast and Musicals in 'Harper's Bazaar' Magazine!

Sunny was featured in the May issue of “Harper’s Bazaar”, where she had a photoshoot and a short interview. During the interview, she talked about her ideal breakfast and her busy schedule during her musical.

Eating breakfast everyday calms and opens my mind, and it’s a peaceful time to start getting ready for the day.

Bean paste stew, croque-monsieur, ochazuke, champagne…

A morning breakfast scene with varied dishes for eight people.

What did you eat for breakfast today?

Jordans’ “Muesli”, which I enjoyed eating when I went to London, and fruits. (Editor’s note: ”Muesli” is a brand of cereal by a company named “Jordans”.) Not too long ago, the musical “Catch Me If You Can” started, and I barely have enough time to eat breakfast peacefully. Because of this, I find myself trying to find food that I can quickly eat during a break but still provides sufficient nutrition.

What is the perfect music to suit a perfect breakfast?

Musical numbers. Even if I listen to them only once, I memorize the melody and lyrics, and if I have a performance later that day, it’s the last opportunity to compose myself. Even during my school days, breakfast time was also time for me to daydream and remember the important things to do later that day.
