Taeyeon revealed Heechul might just be her best imitator!

jTBC released an interview of all the singers that would be on 'Hidden Singer 3', and Taeyeon was one of them! She was asked, "Have you seen people imitate you?", and she answered, "I've never seen anyone do it seriously. My friends and coworkers just do it for fun." When asked, "Who is the best?", she laughed and said, "Heechul oppa is the best." 

She was then asked to choose one of her songs that might be the hardest to sing. She chose her song "Can You Hear Me?", explaining, "The beginning part is hard because you have to sing it like you're speaking." She sang a bit as an example, making the male staff automatically respond. Her and the female PD laughed, and she said, "Men really like 'Can You Hear Me?'. Heechul oppa imitates that song so much."

While the jacket shooting proceeded smoothly, a part of the interview was also held on that day! To commemorate the first episode interview, we’ll talk about Tiffany’s shooting episode ^^ Tiffany was in the middle of the interview with soft daylight; in between intervals, she noticed a ball on a bench and a basketball goal…she immediately tried it out ^^ She missed the first shot, but the next one was a big success～♪ Yet, she got excited and she tried a third time… She accidentally hit the top of the head of a staff member who was preparing for the shooting…! With such a strike, other staff members started laughing aloud, but Tiffany was worried and said, ‘It’s not something to laugh about~’ (yet Tiffany was the one who threw it… Laughs). Even with a worried and troubled face, Tiffany was cute♡”.

Taeyeon says Heechul is the best at imitating her voice in an interview on 'Hidden Singer 3'

Taeyeon picked Heechul as the one who does his best when it comes to imitating her voice. 

In the broadcast of jTBC's 'Hidden Singer 3' on August 9th, Taeyeon was asked in an interview that if there's someone who has immitated her voice before, in which she answered,"There hasn't anyone who has imitated me seriously. My colleagues only imitate me as a joke while drinking".

Then Taeyeon was asked who does it best and she immediately replie it's Heechul. She also chose "Can You Hear Me" which was her OST from "Beethoven Virus" as the most difficult song for her to sing and even said Heechul also imitated the song a lot.

JTBC’s ‘Hidden Singer’ Interviews Taeyeon

On August 9th, JTBC’s “Hidden Singer” aired interviews with the third season’s celebrity  guests. In May of this year, “Hidden Singer” revealed through a video teaser that Taeyeon would be appearing on the third season as a celebrity vocalist. In previous seasons, each episode of “Hidden Singer” featured a famous singer and several impersonators. The celebrity and impersonators, all hidden from the audience behind a blind, each sang part of a song by the celebrity, and the audience voted for which singer they thought was the original. Each episode would have several rounds of singing, with one singer eliminated each round

In her interview, Taeyeon first appears with a “mask” covering her face to hide her identity from the viewers. She explains that she has never seen anyone seriously imitate her singing, other than her colleagues who would do so as a joke after drinking, with Kim Heechul from Super Junior being best at it. Next, Taeyeon is asked if she has ever seen “Hidden Singer” before, and says that she has. Taeyeon also says that her members, Yoona included, like the show, thus “revealing” herself as Taeyeon.

Later, Taeyeon picks “Can You Hear Me”, her song from the “Beethoven Virus” OST, as one that would be difficult to sing and says that the introduction is very important. At this point, Taeyeon sings a line from the song, causing the male staff in the room to all say, “Oh~”, as a female staff member says, “See?!”, explaining that the male staff members had requested “Can You Hear Me” a lot. Taeyeon says that men in particular especially like “Can You Hear Me” and that Kim Heechul also imitates her singing the song a lot.

Finally, Taeyeon is asked how she thinks it would feel to have someone next to her who is singing her song and sounding like her. She answers that it would be amazing and would tell them to keep singing. She concludes the interview by introducing herself and inviting any singers who think they sound like her to try out for the show so that they may sing with her on stage.

The third season of “Hidden Singer” is expected to begin airing on August 16th. Check out Taeyeon’s interview for “Hidden Singer” below or download the clip from Soshified’s Video Downloads Section.

Taeyeon Shares Photos Using New Instagram Account

Original article from March 21st, 2013:

On March 17th, Taeyeon opened an Instagram account and, to the delight of fans, has begun to share photos with her rapidly growing list of followers. Instagram is a photo-sharing service that allows users to quickly take pictures and share them through the internet.

Taeyeon continues to upload new images to her Instagram, ranging from a snapshot of her shoes to a photo of a road in Japan. Taeyeon also posted a message in an image, in which she explained why she chose to begin using Instagram. Her message reads:

Everyone! This is Taeyeon from Japan~

I am always looking for ways to interact with you all, and I want to share happy news with you all the time!

I’ve always used the official homepage and UFOtown but I felt that was missing… something?

(There are lots of small things that I want to share from time to time)

But it’s not like I can spam the official homepage… that’s just not right ㅜ

and UFOtown is just me receiving questions to answer..

I thought… it would be nice if I could ask you questions as well ^^

I know exactly what everyone is worried about right now.

I also don’t want me or anyone close to me to be hurt..

The reason I started Instagram was to be closer with you all!

The time I spend outside of Korea increases

and because of that, the number of international SONEs increases.

I wanted to… share more simple, interesting, trivial things.

I will uploads pictures like everyone else!

It’s very similar to the official page. The only difference is that the main topic is Taeyeon.

But remember that this doesn’t mean I will stop using the official homepage or UFOtown, so

whoever wants to ask me questions, use UFO >_<

Come play often SONE :)

Taeyeon can be found on Instagram under the username taeyeon_ss.

Check out all the photos Taeyeon has uploaded thus far and the captions included with them below.
