I dont agree with this article about TY showing aegyo, because Taeyeon acts mature alot of the time if not then dorky.
It's interesting though, how they explore some people's opinion of taeyeon. Although I saw her in real life and I though she was the cutest of snsd which I didnt realize would happen because prior to it I thought Yoona was prettier.
But I def couldnt stop finding her amongst the members and other sm artists.

at first look, i feel that taengoo isn't pretty. bud she slowly grows on me.. As in the more i look at her, the more i feel that she have the natural beauty. I'm a fangirl though haha and i really like her as even though she has this baby face. she is really mature in thinking and have good leadership ability!

[Eraval]

good read

nice translation

all the reasons listed sounds quite true lol

but i think she still has alot fangirls =]

so pretty

Taengoo Yeppuh!

[Kati]

Hahah. Although Taeng's not my most favorite member, she's definitely around the top 3. The reasons listed are so true!!! I just love her dorky personality and how we can tell she's just a regular girl.

[justsodivine]

Wow~ That is one great article.
Though I think Tae Yeon is a pretty-aegyo combination. Lols.
They should have mentioned abt her leadership capabilities. ;D

& btw, your translation skills are wow, awesome.
Thank you for sharing. ;D

[sweetgrlat]

wow this is an interesting article lol
i'd have a lot more fun writing essays if i wrote about SNSD XD
taeng's an adorkable cutie and that's why i think many people like her, but she's very caring and motherly too
plus taeng hates aegyo, yet she has so much XD
thanks for sharing

[sobriquet.]

haha this is an interesting article.
i do agree though. taeyeon isnt the prettiest member,
but there's just always something about her.
at first when i saw her, i thought she was average.
i mean, shes pretty for an average girl, but for a celeb...
she was okay-pretty. but obviously, she has a lot of charms.
im actually not surprised that she has the most male fans

[finallyinitsfinality]

wow. thats quite some texts to translate. Thanks anyway.

i agree that taeyeon isn't the most attention stealing one with respect to looks among the nine members. but if u look carefully, she has very good looks and very cute looking!

but i don't know. she has the most male fans? really? I thought that would be other girls like tiffany, yuri or jessica....


In any case, taeyeon is my favourite!!! saranghae!!

[~ UnjikochaN ~]

Thanks so much for translating
Even though quite long, it's an interesting topic

After reading, I agree with some but not all of those texts

It's like this article conveyed Taeyeon has a lot of fanboys but lacking of fangirls (?)
Um...I don't think so...coz I found many females around me so crazy in her.....(including me)

For charm of female (& male), it cannot be judged from appearance only, and Taeyeon's case.....not different

To be honest, I'd originally ever doubted Taeyeon's popularity...
but when I knew her more and more from many shows (TV, radio, etc.),
I could say that all her expressions, in both relax mode & serious mode, really touched me
And her aegyo came out naturally without even trying

Then I wasn't absolutely surprised why she's the most popular member...

So, for me, inner beauty is more attractive than outer beauty
And this's the reason why I love Taeyeon <3 <3 <3

PS. Nevertheless, I still think she's the prettiest super leader I've ever seen...LOL

[rayrain]

Lol this is a funny article~

Firstly, thanks for the translation, it was long and well entertaining.

I WHOLLY AGREE to Taeng being the most-sought member just because
of her natural charms and wit. There's a lot of good points in this article
(I'm not even being taegang bias!) but yup~ although the article made
it seem like Taeng doesn't have many fangirls which of course, we all know
isn't true

But oh yeah~ Taengoo ftw~!

[Seohyun #1]

everything u stated is true but i still like seohyun! taeyeon is the leader and i think that that is another reason why guys like her. isn't it one of our fantasies that the girl leads once in a while and with taeyeon that can happen XD

[Keiko1812]

Thus, it is highly likely that women see Taeyeon as an "weird celebrity is not pretty and just acts cute but is still popular," whereas men see her as a "celebrity that's ideally cute and pretty and has great personality to top it all off."

LMAO this mean that I should be a boy instead of a girl T_T Because I really see her as a cutie and beauty with a nice personality ) And although I love all 9 girls, Taengoo will always be the one who stood out the most ><

[SoraT3nshi]

She's our kid leader TaeTae ^^
I thought that Fany had the most male fasn though?
ahh it's ok I luv TaeTae too <3
she's awesome!

[sharxsurf]

hah !

honestly,although i'm a big fan of fany,

i'm actually getting into taeyeon also right now..

she's just attractive in some ways..

her leader-kid-like is one of them..

i think she got no problem to debut as a gagwoman also....

kekekeke~

[prawns16]

" Taeyeon's aegyo is a bit dorky and genuine, and on top of that there is the added bonus of her cute looks. "

best-line, thanks for the translation btw, great article !

[Ice-Sama]

The article is pretty much spot on. Its good.
I too think that Taeng is not the prettiest member but she has a lot of unique skills and traits in her personality that make her lovable.

Thanks for translating!

[wobwab]

Hmmm interesting. I always thought SNSD is very popular among females (for both fans and non-fans, the only exception is the anti-fans).
Around me, the majority of people who are not SNSD fans that I know like Taeyeon the best, and most of them are girls.
Most of them don't care much for the other 8 girls but they definitely love Taeyeon.

For me, charming girls are not necessarily very pretty. When I first became a fan solely because of Jessica, I planned to only watch Sica and just ignored the rest. But what really happened was Taeyeon caught my attention right away and appeared extremely charming.
To my newbie eyes at that time, Yuri is the prettiest and Taeyeon was the most charming girl in the group (excluded Sica whom I find most charming for me from back then till now). I am a woman so the GF material thing mean nothing to me, and Taeyeon was just irresistible to fall for. ^^

Taeng is not just a cute dorky girl, but exceptionally, ridiculously dorky!
Her personality make her so lovable.

BTW, nice and long translation. I miss your translation, Seannn.
Thank you very much for doing it for us again.

[chattnchick3]

Taeyeon is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
She s dorky and fun which is a great thing to everyone.
All the memers are amazing and beautiful!!!

[Jccha]

Who cares about antifan? What matter most is Taeyeon is great and she has a really great voice. There is just a aura surrounding Taeyeon that make people attract to her.

She's not those kind of girl that you will notice on first sight but as I get to know snsd, I'm attract to taeyeon unknowingly. She has a great personality and she's cute even without having to act it out.

Taeyeon~

[lettypuff]

This article makes a really good point and I have to say it is very realistic view.

Thanks for translating, I would love to read this kind of article more because it makes SNSD sound like ordinary girls
