Taeyeon “No one recognized me at the subway station” + Knet’s reactions

On March 30th, a video titled “How to Celebrate TY day | Happy TY day | Birthday V-log” was published on Taeyeon’s official YouTube channel.

On this day, Taeyeon visited a cafe, which held an event for her birthday. Showing off a cup holder with her picture on it, the female idol expressed her appreciation for fans’ love, “Right now, the event is already over… But still, let’s go in to feel the energy of my fans.”

Afterwards, Taeyeon went to a subway station where her birthday advertisement was displayed. She took a must-have “proof” photo, before expressing gratitude to her fans by saying, “Thank you to all my fans.”

Taeyeon, who visited the subway station to see another birthday advertisement, shared, “It’s been so long since I’ve been on the subway.”

Then, after finding a birthday ad, the female idol showed her sincere thanks again, “Although March 9th has passed… Thank you for congratulating me on my birthday this year. Fortunately, this was near the company. This birthday advertisement, it didn’t take me long to come see it. Thank you.”

Finally, Taeyeon went to the company cafe and revealed, “I was at the subway station earlier. No one recognized me, so it was very easy to go see my ads. So, maybe I could go around more often. Everyone is looking down at their smartphones and walking ahead with their eyes on the ground.”

The Pann post regarding this became a hot topic with over 81,000 views as of the morning of April 13th. Below are some comments from Korean netizens.

Original post: Pann

– People on the subway are more interested in getting a seat than in Taeyeon

– She seems like just a middle schooler, too small and thin

– She’s not hot or extraordinarily beautiful…

– Even if I saw Taeyeon, I’d probably just think “Oh, she looks like Taeyeon” and leave

– Because she’s short and small-framed, she doesn’t give off a celebrity vibe. Especially at subway stations, people rush past and don’t care about others
