Taeyeon of Girls' Generation is drawing attention for leaving her characteristically frank and cheerful replies to fans who asked about fellow member Tiffany's marriage news.

Recently, various online communities shared exchanges Taeyeon had with fans via a fan-communication platform on the 2nd, giving many a good laugh.

In the released exchanges, one fan asked Taeyeon, “Did you know about Tiffany's marriage news?” To this, Taeyeon replied, “How could I not know?” with a hint of incredulity, drawing laughs.

She went on to react to “The question is so funny” by adding, “It cracked me up, so replying,” showing how she enjoyed interacting with fans. In particular, when a playful fan lamented, “Do not get married,” she coolly shot back, “Then you do not, either,” serving up a so-called ‘real bestie’ moment that drew an enthusiastic response from fans.

Earlier, Girls' Generation's Tiffany Young announced on the 27th of last month that she had filed a marriage registration with actor Byun Yo-han, officially becoming legal spouses. Byun Yo-han's side stated, “The specific ceremony schedule has not been set, and we are considering a simple worship-style wedding with family.”

Their surprise marriage news also led to online mishaps. A so-called ‘wedding photoshoot’ spread across online communities, purportedly showing Girls' Generation members in matching pink dresses celebrating the couple, but it was found to be an AI-manipulated fake image. Byun Yo-han's side likewise directly dismissed it, saying, “We have never taken those photos,” and the episode was put to rest.

This fake-image commotion underscores the public's explosive interest in the couple's union. Meanwhile, netizens who saw Taeyeon's latest replies reacted with comments such as “As expected, Girls' Generation's friendship is so great,” “Taeyeon's reply is so refreshing,” and “They are real family now, so of course she would know.”
