Kim Tae-yeon (Korean: 김태연; born March 9, 1989), known mononymously as Taeyeon, is a South Korean singer. She debuted as a member of girl group Girls' Generation in August 2007, which went on to become one of the best-selling artists in South Korea and one of the most popular K-pop groups worldwide. She has since participated in other SM Entertainment projects, including Girls' Generation-TTS, SM the Ballad, Girls' Generation-Oh!GG, and Got the Beat.

Taeyeon released her debut extended play I in 2015, which includes the number-one titular single on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart. In 2016, she released the number-one SM Station single "Rain", followed by her second extended play Why, which peaked atop the Gaon Album Chart. Her debut studio album, My Voice (2017), yielded the top-five singles "11:11", "Fine" and "Make Me Love You". In 2018, Taeyeon ventured into the Japanese music scene with the digital single "Stay", followed by the 2019 extended play Voice. Her second studio album, Purpose (2019), featured the successful singles "Four Seasons" and "Spark", the singer's third studio album INVU was released in February 2022 with the pre-release single "Can't Control Myself" released earlier in January.

On television, Taeyeon appeared as a main cast on the reality shows We Got Married (2009), Begin Again (2019), and is currently serving as a main host for Amazing Saturday (2020–present). She is set to host Queendom 2 from March 31, 2022. Additionally, she has recorded soundtracks for various television dramas and movies that proved successful, notably "If" for Hong Gil-dong (2008), "Can You Hear Me" for Beethoven Virus (2008), and the chart-topping "All about You" for Hotel del Luna (2019).

Having sold over one million physical albums and twenty million digital singles as of 2021, Taeyeon is one of the best-selling solo artists in South Korea. She has received various awards and nominations, including six Golden Disc Awards, five Seoul Music Awards, four Gaon Chart Music Awards, three Melon Music Awards, and three Mnet Asian Music Awards.

Career

Taeyeon’s career in singing started right after a year of her graduation from Jeonju Art High School in 2008. She recorded her first single “Gee” with “Girls’ Generation” and it was released in 2009.

Apart from group performances, Taeyeon featured in many solo and duet tracks. Most of her earlier duets are with the South Korean singer, “Kangta”.

By now, Taeyeon had cemented her place in the industry. She took a step ahead, and started recording soundtracks for many television dramas like “Hong Gil Dong”, “Beethoven Virus”, and “Can You Hear Me", to name some. All the tracks became very popular, more than the dramas.

Taeyeon also tried her luck in hosting and acting and left an impact in these fields too. Many critics found her better than her contemporaries who are actors-turned-singers.

Unaffected by the critical acclamations, Taeyeon decided to quit acting and focus only on singing. Along with her group members, Tiffany and Seohyun, she created a subgroup in April 2012, and named it “TTS”. The gang became super popular right from their debut track, “Twinkle”. The subgroup’s success spree continued for the next 3years.

Taeyeon has an image of fashionista due to her trendy dressing styles that youth loves to follow. One of the opulent lifestyle magazines, VOGUE, even labeled her with the title, "Beyoncé of Girls' Generation". She also secured a place on the Forbes list of "Top 40 Power Celebrities".

In 2015, Taeyeon released her solo album titled ‘I’ after a year-long pre-recording work. The album became an instant and sold over 119,576 copies. Till date, Taeyeon has released numerous singles and duets and most of them have topped the music charts.

Awards & Achievements

Cyworld Digital Music Awards (2008): Taeyeon's song ‘If’ won the song of the year award.

Golden Disc Awards (2008): The song ‘Can You Hear Me’ won the ‘Yepp Popularity Award’.
