“We can't have dating rumors about the youngest member.”
Seohyun quietly took on the responsibility. The reason was simple: Girls' Generation was everything to her.
On the 16th, Seohyun and Hyoyeon from Girls' Generation appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong-yeob’ to share their 20-year friendship and heartfelt sincerity.
The two shared a story about crying together in a car. “We cried while talking about old times. After 20 years together, there’s still so much we don’t know about each other,” which reflected their long-standing camaraderie.
The broadcast also revealed Seohyun's past as the ‘CCTV’ of Girls' Generation. She would take her drunk members back to their rooms, remove their makeup, and even stop them from going out, laughing as she said, “I was particularly unique.” Hyoyeon confessed, “Seeing her made me feel like I had lived my life wrong.”
What caught the most attention was the reason why Seohyun never had dating rumors. Hyoyeon recalled, “In your 20s, it’s the time to like boys, but Seohyun said, ‘We have the face of Girls' Generation. We shouldn’t date.’” She added, “She would nag us, so eventually, we didn’t talk about who we were dating.”
When Shin Dong-yeob asked, “Why has Seohyun never been caught?” Seohyun quietly replied.
“Girls' Generation was everything in my life. It was my goal, my dream, and my face.” She added, “I thought that even I, the youngest, shouldn’t have dating rumors.”
Instead, Seohyun said, “I learned a lot through indirect experiences by watching my unnie (older sisters). I learned what kind of man to avoid,” smiling. The youngest, who quietly held strong from behind to protect Girls' Generation, conveyed that the reason for her lack of dating was not just a private matter, but sincerity and responsibility.
