During a Weverse live, Taeyeon chatted comfortably with fans and asked, “I have something I’m curious about. Am I a puppy face or a cat face? Not an egg face.” She went on to ask, “Is it dog or cat? Am I a puppy face?” before adding, “What I aim for is a furry animal, but in reality, I’m an egg,” calling herself an “egg-shaped face.”
She continued the playful mood by saying, “There’s also a fish face. I admit that. I think I’m a fish face,” keeping the atmosphere light and humorous. However, the moment that caught fans’ attention came when a viewer mentioned the term “watermelon face.”
Taeyeon immediately responded, “Watermelon face? There’s no one to clap for that. It’s not a watermelon face,” prompting laughter. The phrase “watermelon face” has long circulated online as shorthand for “a face that Soo Man would clap for,” referring to a look traditionally associated with SM Entertainment’s aesthetic preferences. By saying there was “no one to clap,” Taeyeon appeared to allude to Lee Soo Man’s departure from SM.
The comment quickly spread across YouTube clips and online communities, with fans reacting to Taeyeon’s quick wit and subtle humor. Many praised her for effortlessly turning an inside joke into a moment of playful commentary.
Meanwhile, Lee Soo Man left SM Entertainment and is currently active at A2O Entertainment, where he serves as a key producer and visionary leader.
