“We were all wailing and crying knowing that we would be apart”… Girls’ Generation confessed the reason why they needed a 5-year hiatus
Girls’ Generation members revealed their true feelings on “Soshi Tamtam”. Having been through many things, they comforted each other.
The sincere appearance of Girls’ Generation was shown on JTBC’s entertainment program “Soshi Tamtam”, which aired on the evening of August 16th.
On the broadcast, Yoona appeared as Sooyoung’s one-day manager. Sooyoung was originally scheduled to have a magazine photoshoot but it was canceled due to heavy rain. Hoping to leave work early, Yoona told Sooyoung that she could go home and rest but Sooyoung already had another plan for Yoona. Sooyoung said, “On days like this, we should play with higher tension”. Yoona and Sooyoung then spent time playing games and experiencing gardening together.
While enjoying their activities, Yoona and Sooyoung revealed their innermost thoughts. Yoona said, “After finishing the promotion for ‘Exit’, I spent time doing unrelated things to our job. But it helped me gain experience. I went on a trip alone and even made bread”. Sooyoung agreed with Yoona and said, “I used to think that I wasted my time. But it was the time for me to empty my mind and not think about work. I feel like I have to empty my head to fill it up again later.”
After finishing their work as Yuri’s manager, Tiffany and Sunny spent time for themselves. This time, Tiffany said she would be the manager and take Sunny to an interesting place. Sunny felt tired but still pulled off all the schedules prepared by Tiffany. They had a meal while looking at Han River, took 4-cut photos and visited an expresso bar.
While quarreling over choosing the drink, Sunny said, “I can’t drink coffee. I had insomnia during our promotions because of that”. She then confessed, “We used to drink a lot of energy drinks to brighten up the mood for the people who came to see us during our promotions in the past That’s when I began to feel the side effects of caffeine. My heart kept racing, I couldn’t sleep, and my hands shook at night”. Upon hearing Sunny’s story, Yoona and Hyoyeon said they went through the same thing.
Tiffany was worried about the mental health of Sunny, who has always shown a bright image. She asked Sunny how she had been doing and promised to care for her health and get her out to some places outside. As a result, talking to Sunny also comforted Tiffany.
Tiffany shared, “We released an album and held a concert tour when we celebrated our 10th anniversary because we wanted to do everything we wanted to do. I think it’s time for us to have a balance. When we gathered up again, I wished I could grow up more as an ordinary person. Actually, I think I’ve become healthier physically and mentally.”
She added, “I did wander and have a lot of worries but seeing 8 of us gather again, I realized the meaning of our hiatus. Since we had spent time for ourselves during that five years, the meaning of it became clearer to me when we gathered.”
Listening to each other’s stories in the studio, the members got emotional and Tiffany even shed tears. Girl’s Generation went on a five-year hiatus after their 10th anniversary in 2017.
Recalling their 10th-anniversary fanmeeting, Sooyoung shared, “Back then, we knew that we would say goodbye to each other. We were all wailing and crying in the waiting room. We were not able to feel confident that we would be getting back together again in some way. Since we couldn’t say anything to our fans, I was very sorry to our fans”. Yoona also cried thinking of the old times. Hyoyeon said, “At that time, we all said we would find our own new paths, but I felt like I had lost something.”
