Life and career

1989–2008: Early life and career beginnings

Taeyeon was born on March 9, 1989, in Jeonju, South Korea.[2][3] Her family consists of her parents, an older brother, and a younger sister.[4] Having believed that she was "only talented" at singing, Taeyeon harbored the dream of becoming a singer at a young age.[5] During her second year in middle school, Taeyeon accompanied her father to SM Academy (a former music institution and auxiliary affiliation of SM Entertainment), to pursue vocal lessons. Although at the time her father did not encourage Taeyeon to become an entertainer, he was persuaded by the school's president to give his daughter a chance after she recognized Taeyeon's "clean" voice. During the next year, Taeyeon accompanied her father from their hometown to Seoul on every Sunday to receive her vocal lessons from The One.[6] She named BoA, Whitney Houston and Utada Hikaru as her pre-debut inspirations.[7][8]

Taeyeon was trained by her former vocal instructor, known professionally as The One, for three years. In a 2011 interview, he described Taeyeon as a "smart" student, someone "unlike others who came to him with dreams of becoming a celebrity... [she] wanted to be a singer and reach the top with her own talents." In 2004, he "wanted to acknowledge Taeyeon's potential" by giving her the chance to be in his song "You Bring Me Joy".[9][10] That same year, she won first place at the SM Youth Best Competition and signed a contract with SM Entertainment. The training process was so tough that it nearly made her quit at one point; she continued, however, and debuted as a member of girl group Girls' Generation in August 2007.[11][12][13] The group gained significant popularity after the release of their hit single "Gee" in 2009.[14] Taeyeon graduated from Jeonju Art High School and was awarded the school's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.[15]

2008–2015: Original soundtracks, TTS and SM The Ballad

Taeyeon sang "7989" (featuring Kangta), a track taken from both Girls' Generation's eponymous debut album (2007) and Kangta's fourth studio album, Eternity (2008).[16] After that, Taeyeon gained popularity through her various television soundtracks, recording "If" for the KBS2 drama Hong Gil Dong (2008) and "Can You Hear Me" for MBC's drama Beethoven Virus (2009).[17] "If" was seen as more popular than its respective drama,[18] and "Can You Hear Me" won a Popularity Award at the 2008 Golden Disk Awards.[19] Both tracks remain among Taeyeon's most well-known hits.[17] During this period, she also recorded "It's Love", a duet with Girls' Generation member Sunny, for the MBC drama Heading to the Ground (2009).[20]

Following a radio hosting job in 2009–10,[21] Taeyeon tried out acting, making her theatrical debut in a lead role in the musical Midnight Sun (2010), an adaptation of the Japanese novel of the same name (2006). She played the part of Kaoru Amane, a teenager who suffered from xeroderma pigmentosum, and learned to play a guitar for the role. Her performance in the sold-out shows received good press despite the musical's critical reviews.[22][23] Jang Gyeong-jin of 10Asia praised Taeyeon's "distinct vocals" and commented that her acting stood out among idol stars who had ventured into musical theatre,[24] while Kim Ji-yeong from The Dong-a Ilbo felt "Taeyeon's optimistic and charming personality made her the perfect match" for the role.[25] Despite the favorable response, Taeyeon later described musicals as difficult, citing that her weak concentration made it hard for her to act and sing at the same time.[26]

The same year, Taeyeon worked with Korean songwriter-composer Ahn Young-min on her musical projects. She recorded "Like A Star" (featuring The One), and the song reached number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.[27][28] Her next single, "I Love You", for the SBS drama Athena: Goddess of War soundtrack, reached number two on the same chart.[29] Ahn recalled his impression of the latter song: "I was surprised at how well Taeyeon could sing. This is a rather mature song, so I would be lying if I said I didn't have my doubts, but she blew me away. I was moved to tears listening to her singing."[30] In 2011, Taeyeon lent her voice to Kim Bum-soo's "Different", a single featured on his seventh album Solista: Part 2.[31] The song debuted at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart.[32] Taeyeon and Kim Bum-soo met again at his concert two years later for a live cover version of the latter's 2008 song "Man and Woman".[33]

Following Taeyeon's working relationship with him from the drama Beethoven Virus (2008), musical director Lee Pil-ho was determined to collaborate with her again on the soundtrack for MBC's melodrama The King 2 Hearts (2012) soundtrack, having her record the main theme song "Missing You Like Crazy".[34] It was released in March 2012 and debuted at number two on both the Gaon Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100.[35][36] Taeyeon's vocal received positive feedback from the song's composer Park Hae-woon: "She fully understood the song in its entirety and expressed each detail very precisely...even though this song requires the lowest note that a female singer can produce, Taeyeon executed them perfectly."[37] The song was named the most popular soundtrack at 2012 Seoul Drama Awards.[38] Later in the year, she contributed her vocals to the song "Closer", for the SBS drama To the Beautiful You, which was number seven on both the Gaon Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100.[39][40]

In April 2012, a Girls' Generation subgroup named TTS was formed with Taeyeon and fellow members Tiffany and Seohyun. Their debut EP, Twinkle, met with much success and became South Korea's eighth- highest selling album of the year.[41][42][43] The subgroup went on to release two more EPs: Holler (2014) and Dear Santa (2015).[44][45] In January 2013, Taeyeon and Tiffany sang a duet, "Lost in Love", which was featured on Girls' Generation's fourth Korean album, I Got a Boy.[46] Two months later, she recorded "And One", written and composed by Kangta, for the SBS drama That Winter, The Wind Blows.[47] It debuted at the top of Billboard's K-pop Hot 100[48] and reached number two on the Gaon Digital Chart.[49] In July 2013, Taeyeon was invited to record the theme song "Bye" for the movie Mr. Go soundtrack, after its musical director was left with a "deep impression" having heard her cover version of a song during a radio appearance.[50][51]

In February 2014, Taeyeon joined the roster of SM the Ballad, a ballad group initially formed by SM Entertainment in 2010, contributing her vocals to their second album Breath.[52] Her lead single of the same name (a duet with Shinee's Jonghyun) peaked at number three and six on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100 Chart, respectively.[53][54] She also recorded a solo song, "Set Me Free", for the album.[52] Her other 2014 releases included "Colorful" for JTBC's campaign "The World Is More Beautiful Because We're Different" and "Love, That One Word" for the SBS's drama You're All Surrounded; the latter entered Top 10 on both Gaon Digital Chart and K-Pop Hot 100.[55][56][57] In February 2015, Taeyeon accepted a personal request from f(x)'s Amber to feature in "Shake that Brass", the lead single taken from her debut album, Beautiful.[58]

2015–2016: Solo debut

Taeyeon began working on her solo projects in late 2014, believing her "right time" had come after eight years' experience with Girls' Generation.[59][60] She released her debut extended play (EP), I, in October 2015.[61] The EP peaked at number two on South Korea's Gaon Album Chart,[62] and charted atop the US Billboard World Albums.[61] As of 2019, it has sold 160,000 copies in South Korea.[63] The commercial success of I, according to Yonhap News Agency, was the main contributor to SM Entertainment's leading music sales in the fourth quarter of 2015.[64] The title track, which features rapper Verbal Jint, incorporates elements of pop rock that departs from the ballad sound she had been known for.[61] The song peaked at number one in South Korea,[65] where it has sold over 2.5 million digital units.[66] To accompany her solo release, she held a series of small concerts titled Taeyeon's Very Special Day,[67] and a reality show, OnStyle's Daily Taeng9Cam.[68] She was awarded Best Female Artist at the 2015 Mnet Asian Music Awards,[69] and at the 2016 Golden Disk Awards.[70]

Taeyeon's second EP, Why (2016), incorporates elements of more upbeat genres such as EDM and tropical house.[80][81] It peaked atop the Gaon Album Chart,[82] and charted at number two on the US Billboard World Albums.[83] The EP has sold 120,000 copies as of 2019.[63] It spawned two singles: "Starlight" featuring Dean and the title track, which peaked at numbers five and seven, respectively, in South Korea.[84] The EP's associated concert, Butterfly Kiss, made Taeyeon the first Korean female artist to embark on a full-scale concert while still being a member of an active girl group.[85] In September 2016, Taeyeon recorded "All With You" for SBS's television drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.[86] Her next single, "11:11", was released in November 2016. It peaked at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart[87] and had sold 1.4 million copies by 2017.[88] Billboard ranked it the seventh best K-pop song of 2016.[89] The Dong-a Ilbo in December 2016 named Taeyeon as "Voice of the Year", "Singer of the Year", and "Most Hardworking".[90] At the 2016 Mnet Asian Music Awards, Taeyeon was awarded Best Female Artist.[91]

Taeyeon has been widely regarded as a "talented vocalist" for her soulful vocals.[17][131] Her singing abilities have been subject to attention from several major South Korean producers; in 2009 on MBC's Yoo Jae-suk & Kim Won-hee's Come to Play Park Jin-young of JYP Entertainment expressed his wish to work with Taeyeon because of her "ability to tell a story through singing."[132] Korean composer Yoo Young-seok correlated Taeyeon's singing to "a woman who has been divorced seven times."[133] Taeyeon was selected as the best K-pop vocalist by 40 anonymous music industry officials in October 2015,[134] and was named the best female vocalist in their twenties by twelve Korean music companies in April 2016.[135]

As the leader of popular K-pop girl group Girls' Generation and a successful solo artist,[136][137] Taeyeon has been recognized as a prominent South Korean figure. Janelle Okwodu from Vogue described Taeyeon as "the Beyoncé of [Girls' Generation]" whose fashion styles are "constantly on the go."[138] Taeyeon topped Gallup Korea's listing of the most popular K-pop idols of 2016, based on public polls and opinions.[139] She also appeared on the rankings in 2015 (#3), 2017 (#9), and 2019 (#7).[140] She also appeared multiple times on Forbes Korea Power Celebrity, making the list in 2016 (#32),[141] 2018 (#16),[142] and 2019 (#23).[143] She became the first K-pop female celebrity to reach seven million followers on Instagram in June 2016.[144]
