Girls' Generation Hyoyeon, "I felt frustrated, wondering how much longer I had to live like this"

Hyoyeon, in her 19th year since debut, opens up about the weight of being an idol

Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon has revealed her honest feelings hidden behind the glamorous stage. Recently gaining public attention under the nickname 'Hyoryesu,' she candidly expressed the pressure and worries she feels as a main vocalist in her 19th year of debut through MBC's 'Help! Homes.'

During the broadcast, Hyoyeon confessed her inner thoughts, saying, "I feel like I've let go of a lot. I felt frustrated wondering how long I have to live like this." Her remarks deeply reflected the weight of life felt by a veteran who has maintained the center of her group for 19 long years.

In response to Hyoyeon's words, Lee Chaeyoung of fromis_9, who is in her 9th year since debut, gave a contrasting reaction, turning the set into a sea of laughter. Lee Chaeyoung instead said, "I regret letting go of things too early since the beginning of my debut," while showcasing her prepared talent. It was a moment where the junior's quirky answer to the senior's serious concern created a unique chemistry.

As an idol senior, Hyoyeon also offered realistic advice to her junior, Lee Chaeyoung. During this process, Jang Dong-min, who was in the studio, added a meaningful comment, further heating up the atmosphere. The meeting between Lee Chaeyoung, who is preparing for a comeback on the 21st, and Hyoyeon, who has recently been at the center of attention, showed the relationship between idol seniors and juniors across generations.
