A sub-unit with three of the most vocally talented Girls' Generation members? Honestly, I never saw this coming, but I am kind of looking forward to see what kind of music they will make. Girls' Generation has always been a promising girl group to start with because of the diverse qualities of its members, and I would like to commend SM for the brilliant idea. The girls have been pretty busy with their individual activities lately. Members Yoona, Jessica, and Yuri have all been pretty much involved in the acting world recently, starring for popular dramas with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry. Yoona, the first member who ventured into acting in 2008, is now appearing with Jang Geun Seuk in Love Rain. This year, she was joined by Jessica who starred in the drama Wild Romance with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Si Young and Yuri who is currently starring in the highly-rated drama Fashion King with Yoo Ah In, Shin Se Kyung, and Lee Jae Hoon. The fourth member who is set to join the aforesaid three's ranks is Sooyoung, who will be starring in an upcoming medical drama which is still on production. Members Hyoyeon and Sunny, who are both permanent cast members of the variety show Invincible Youth 2, are active in the variety arena on the other hand. Sunny, in addition, has a musical entitled Catch Me If You Can alongside SM Entertainment labelmates Dana of CSJH, Kyuhyun of Super Junior, and Key of SHINee. Lastly, members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun are currently MCs of the popular MBC music show Music Core, and these three are the members of the upcoming Girls' Generation sub-unit which will be called Taetiseo (Tae for Taeyeon, Ti for Tiffany, and Seo for Seohyun).
This is kind of surprising, but it's something a company like SM Entertainment often does. In Kpop, the first ever group who formed sub-units is Super Junior. The group has five sub-units to date since their debut in 2005, and they are Super Junior KRY (the ballad unit), Super Junior T (the trot unit), Super Junior H or Happy (the unit who sings bubbly and feel good songs), Super Junior M (the unit who was formed to target the Chinese market), and most recently, the amazing duo of members Donghae and Eunhyuk. Some Super Junior members were also involved in project groups with other SM artists. Kyuhyun was with TRAX's Jay, SHINee's Jonghyun, and Jino in SM The Ballad, while Heechul was in a project duo with TRAX's Jungmo in M&D. Now, it's the turn of the girls to grab the spotlight, and what better way to do that than to have selected members of Girls' Generation do it.
Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun are three of the most vocally talented Girls' Generation members alongside Jessica and Sunny. All five of them are considered the main vocals of the group. I personally like all three's voices in varying degrees. Taeyeon for the clarity and range of her voice, Tiffany for her husky voice, and Seohyun for her versatile voice. All three are good singers, and choosing between them is just as difficult as picking who the prettiest one among the three is. Although I have my personal favorites in Girls' Generation, I think all of them are equally talented and amazing in their own ways.
This sub-group is definitely promising because it looks like they will be presenting a new and different sound compared to Girls' Generation's music as a group to Kpop listeners all over the world. As early as now, I am looking forward for a lot of wonderful and heartfelt ballads and maybe a little bit of jazz or acoustic tunes here and there. More than the concept or whatever, I just want to hear good music, and that's all that should matter. x
