Taeyeon, the leader of Girls' Generation and a solo artist, is a good example of an 'all-time legend'.

Taeyeon, who debuted as the leader of the group Girls' Generation in her 2007, soon became a K-pop senior in her 16th year of debut. Of course, there is an advantage that skills and public recognition can increase as the age increases, but as it is not easy to maintain the popularity of the heyday with a high age in the K-pop scene, where the trend is exceptionally fast, the position of a senior in the music industry is green and green. not.

Among them, Taeyeon is a good example of the music industry and is continuing her flawless career. What is the secret of his long run, reborn as a 'good example' of the K-pop scene by splendidly digesting the near-impossible mission of capturing both his skills, trendiness, popularity and fandom?

A 'heavenly idol' who has everything from visuals to humor

Although 15 years have passed since her debut, Taeyeon cannot be left out when it comes to the one who still has the thickest core fandom among domestic K-pop female singers (or idol members). This is a very impressive and noteworthy point.

At the time of her debut, Taeyeon, who gained great popularity within her team with her so-called 'Deokhu Drive' award, and gathered her fandom as an all-round character with solid singing skills and wit, has continued to grow in popularity without leaving her big fandom. have been collecting

Her impeccable visuals and her outspoken talk, which evoked a reversal charm, were his main specialty. Thanks to this, Taeyeon succeeded in securing her public popularity as well as her core fandom by making regular appearances in variety shows as well as various radio DJs.

The uncompromising communication with her fans was also the secret to his long-standing popularity. As of the 25th, Taeyeon's personal SNS followers reached a whopping 18 million. But for Taeyeon, SNS was not a window to show a stereotyped image.

Shee has been broadcasting real-time with her fans through SNS live broadcasting in his spare time, and her talk here is really 'tension from the other world'. It is a time to get a glimpse of the friendly and unstoppable charm of a 'neighborhood aunt' rather than the singer Taeyeon, who dominated an era and is still active as a legend. With the passage of time, she communicated with fans with a more natural and comfortable charm, while not neglecting self-management as a singer, the secret to capturing the hearts of fans for 15 years.

My main job is like Taeyeon.. A 'main job genius' who can do both group and solo

Above all else, Taeyeon's biggest charm comes from her 'main job'. With record achievements both as a group and as a solo artist, she has risen to the ranks of the undisputed 'K-pop legend'.

After a certain period of time after her debut, unlike the case of expanding her activities to other fields such as acting or musicals, her young self-confidence, which has only been pursued as a singer, is also noteworthy. In 2010, she performed on stage with the musical 'Song of the Sun' once, but such a move did not lead to a double job.

Instead, Taeyeon focused more on expanding her musical spectrum. In 2008, the year after his debut, Taeyeon showed her potential as a solo artist early when her OST, 'What if', the OST of 'Kill-do Hong Gil-dong' gained great popularity. did. The result was successful.

As Girls' Generation has already made a mark in the K-pop girl group market, Taeyeon, who emphasized her own musical color with her solo album, continued his hit streak with every song he released. Her delicate emotional expression and solid singing ability helped to solidify her position in the female solo market.

As if to prove this, she recently became the main character of Gaon Chart's '10-year cumulative album sales for domestic female solo singers'. She is said to have sold a total of 1,051,567 copies of his solo albums alone.

The performance of the 3rd regular album 'INVU', which was released on the 14th, is also outstanding. Immediately after its release, 'I&B' topped the iTunes top album charts in 22 countries around the world, and topped many domestic and foreign music charts, showing off its status as a music powerhouse.

At this point, Taeyeon's long run feels like a natural result. She said that she still has a lot of things she wants to show through music and other various activities, and I am curious about the new future she will write.
