Taeyeon and Hyoyeon talked about talented younger idols, but the latter's comment on the SNSD leader has us nodding enthusiastically.
On October 2, Taeyeon made an appearance on her co-member Hyoyeon's YouTube channel "Hyo's Level Up." Titled "Taeyeon always smiles when she's with Hyoyeon," the two shared a meal of kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup) while talking about their friendship, co-members, the younger idol generation, and more.
At one point in the video, the two mentioned how good and versatile the younger artists are. Taeyeon even asked, "How can they be talented, beautiful, and skilled? What did they eat to turn out so well?"
Quickly, Hyoyeon wore a proud grin and praised her friend.
"But you still do better," she told the "INVU" singer. "There's no one who can touch people's hearts with their voice as you do, Taeyeon."

Hyoyeon insisted that she wasn't saying it because they are co-members. Despite Taeyeon's disbelief, the "Retro Romance" singer continued, "My eyes are drawn to you and I want to say more supportive things because I feel it more.
"I watched all the episodes of 'Begin Again.' You're really... really good," she added.
Following this clip, SONEs all over the world took to X (formerly Twitter) to express how strongly they agree with Hyoyeon. Here are some of the comments on the platform:
