Taeyeon: “I‘m happy that I get to receive more congratulations at the concert on my birthday”

Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon received birthday wishes from 15,000 fans.

Taeyeon held ‘TAEYEON CONCERT - The TENSE’ at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park at 5 PM on the 9th. The concerts ran for three days from the 7th to the 9th, and the final concert on the 9th was live streamed through the global platform Beyond LIVE and Weverse.

Taeyeon opened the concert with ‘Fabulous’ and continued the opening stage with her representative song ‘I’ and ‘Letter To Myself’. After her first stage, fans congratulated Taeyeon on her birthday that day. During this process, when excessive personal comments poured out from the audience, Taeyeon skillfully organized the atmosphere on site by saying, “I’m the only one holding the mic today, so I‘ll understand well. My feelings were conveyed well.”

Taeyeon said, “Today is my birthday and also the third day I meet Sowon. Before we know it, the last day of the concert has come. I thought I’d be less nervous because it‘s the third day, but I’m still nervous.” She continued, “It‘s been 10 years since I’ve been active as a solo artist. I think it will be a meaningful performance to commemorate my 10th anniversary and hold a concert.”

She said, “I thought it was a great opportunity to enjoy my birthday with so many people, so I thought I should hold a concert on my birthday. I wanted to receive more congratulations.” She continued, “I like to spend my birthday quietly, so I usually stay at home, but I think this birthday will be unforgettable. “I hope that the remaining time and the performance will remain as good memories in your hearts,” she said in her greeting.

This concert, ‘The TENSE’, is a meaningful performance that Taeyeon is presenting for the first time in approximately 1 year and 7 months since ‘The ODD Of LOVE’, and marks the 10th anniversary of her solo debut. The concept is to share Taeyeon‘s past 10 years, her current situation on stage, and the days ahead, just as the dictionary definition of ”tense“ suggests.

Starting with this Seoul concert, Taeyeon will meet with local fans in a total of nine regions on her Asian tour, including Taipei on March 16, Manila on the 29th, Jakarta on April 12, Tokyo on the 19th and 20th, Macau on the 26th, Singapore on May 3rd and 4th, Bangkok on May 31st and June 1st, and Hong Kong on June 7th.
