Seohyun of Girls' Generation Shares Her Latest Updates on YouTube

Seohyun, formerly of Girls' Generation, recently shared updates on her life.

On the 18th, Seohyun appeared on the YouTube channel 'Yubin's Spot Light'.

During the episode, Yubin revealed that she began her YouTube channel with Seohyun as her first guest. Seohyun expressed, "I should have appeared sooner," adding, "Apart from broadcasts and award shows, we haven't done much together. This is the first time in 19 years since my debut that we're doing something just the two of us," reflecting on the special occasion.

The two discussed their friendship as representatives of the second-generation girl groups, Girls' Generation and Wonder Girls. Yubin confessed, "Before debuting, I was a fan of Seohyun from Girls' Generation. I even mentioned it on the radio. I wanted to support the youngest member who worked hard and lived righteously."

Yubin especially thanked Seohyun for looking after her when she was alone at an award ceremony, saying, "I felt lonely back then, but you took care of me. I thought you were not only beautiful but also kind-hearted."

Seohyun shared, "I used to practice Wonder Girls' songs and choreography in the waiting room," and added, "I wanted to get closer, but we were too busy and had separate waiting rooms, so we rarely crossed paths." Yubin humorously remarked, "Our companies avoided each other during comebacks. Was it business ethics?"

As former rivals of the second-generation girl groups, they admitted, "It felt like we shouldn't get close, but since we're of similar age and share common interests, we formed a bond." Seohyun, who grew closer to Yubin through brunches and tennis, expressed, "I believe connections aren't forced."

At a year-end award show, Girls' Generation and Wonder Girls once swapped songs, performing 'Tell Me' and 'Kissing You'. Yubin recalled, "We were doing retro, but Girls' Generation was doing pretty and pure concepts, and we wanted to try that too." Conversely, Seohyun reminisced, "We also wanted to try Wonder Girls' pretty and glamorous style. Our team concepts were completely different, with Girls' Generation focusing on group choreography and Wonder Girls on individual styles. SM and JYP were completely different in that regard."

Currently on a break after her drama, Seohyun shared, "I've been indulging in hobbies lately, playing the piano for 2-3 hours a day. I used to have arthritis. I'm an all-or-nothing type of person," she confessed. Without a clock in her practice room, she explained, "Looking at the time feels like doing homework," and expressed her desire to relearn the violin and try ballet again.

Seohyun, who stated, "I'm very happy right now," added, "It's been a while since I've rested so comfortably. For now, I'm focusing on my life, and if a good script comes along, I might consider starting a new project."
