Girls’ Generation’s subunit “Girls’ Generation-TTS” will release their first mini-album “Twinkle” in the near future.
The first incarnation of Girls’ Generation’s new subunit project, Girls’ Generation-TTS is comprised of the amazing vocals of Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun. “Twinkle” is expected to be released on May 2nd, and listeners can look forward to the rich music and attractive vocals that will be featured.
SM Entertainment officially announced the creation of this new subunit on April 19th. They said in a statement, “Girls’ Generation’s subunit will feature the various talents of each Girls’ Generation member by changing the members of the unit according to the music and concept of each new subunit album and generic drugs. This subunit will aim to grab the attention of fans with all aspects of music, performance, and fashion styles.”

taeyeon xD lmao ,cant wait for this sub unit!
Phew, got scared for a second, I’m glad to hear it’ll be rotations :)
I’m pretty psyched for this, FINALLY, we’ll have a chance to CLEARLY hear the rest of the group’s vocals.
I love tae, fany, seo, and sica, but I would love to hear the other 5 more, especially hyoyeon, since she doesn’t get much of a chance!
I agree! HyoYeon has a beautiful voice (especially in the live performance of Diamond, even though she didn’t get many parts at all, her voice still shined in that song *-*), I wanna hear more of it~ D’:
OH! And another thing. The group name TaeTiSeo? Umm, I expected it to be something more creative and somewhat decent. I’m sorry but TaeTiSeo does not sound good as a subunit name. Not to mention this concept too. Umm yeah so far I’m skeptical about what they’re wearing and Taeyeon’s clown hair juse depresses me. Like, no. No. Don’t do that. SM what are you doing?
the time is come, i knew this will happen someday… but now? to fast, this is the 5 year of SNSD right? well they say idol group only remain for 5 years *sigh
To be honest, I don’t like this subunit thing. I don’t understand why it has to be this way. I mean if SM is going to change members according to the concept then why not just include all of them so that EVERYONE can participate. Either way all the girls are going to be in the subunit one way or another…SO WHY NOT JUST LET THEM STAY 9? Makes no sense, but I guess we’ll see how this turns out.
its true that some of us might think that this is not good..i was one of those..but i guess i was wrong..i understand that they are creating the sub-unit in order to increase the members’ exposure..not to separate them..after all they are SNSD..to me they are always one..
as much as i love Kim Family but somehow i dont feel excited about they releasing an album. i mean, i heard about this subunit rumor but not to the extent that they will have their own album. i love all nine, no doubt about it. SoshiBond is the first thing that hooks me into this fandom and will always be. i just hope this will not affect their sisterhood. but still, i will support each one of them in whatever they do.
“Girls’ Generation’s subunit will feature the various talents of each Girls’ Generation member by changing the members of the unit according to the music and concept of each new subunit album.”
well, lets just hope all nine of them will get the same chance for this project. ^^
But why isn’t Jessica in this?
I feel neutral with the subunit idea. It’s something new tbh, but why the name “TaeTiSeo” when TaeNyHyun sounds better…? That’s only in my opinion though.
I was really worried when they first announced this, seeing as subunits usually focus heavily on the more popular or talented members of a group, simply leaving the others behind. That being said, I’m a little bit more at rest now seeing as this group will simply just rotate members. Hopefully we’ll get to see some shining not just from this unit (which, let’s face it, was probably the strongest way to start a subunit,) but the switched in members afterward.
I’m quite happy hearing it’s going to be Taeyeon, Seohyun and Tiffany. Unfortunately they got really shot down in terms of the group name. Still looking forward to hearing what they’ve got, and I’ll almost certainly buy whatever it is just based on the vocal strength behind it.
Also, that picture is just frightening. It feels like someone took a legitimate picture of the girls and then rammed their face into the keyboard and mouse to try and make “improvements” to an otherwise okay picture. I really hope that those are not their outfits for…well…anything. I’m excited to see anything but that picture again. lol
Thanks for the article/translations bhost909, residentbenchwarmer, taengsoshi, and minigiglo.
At first I wasn’t sure that I liked this idea, and I definitely don’t ever want to see the end of the nine angels … but as I’ve continued to think about it, I can see some advantages for the girls in a side project like this. When many of the girls are off filming television shows or appearing in musicals or whatever else they are doing for individual activities, a subunit like this allows the remaining girls to make some new music for us to listen to in the meantime, rather than have them sitting around the dorm waiting for other’s individual activities to finish up. And I certainly have some interest in this particular subunit, since in my opinion it features the three strongest vocalists in the group. So for now, I’m giving the idea a preliminary thumbs-up. TaeTiSeo Hwaiting!
I am not liking how taeyeon is coming out on this album cover. I have to say it’s a pretty bad picture of her
Ah so there is a sub-unit, I kinda disagree with the idea at first but now I’m okay with it.
So TaeTiSeo huh? …
I was kinda hoping for Jessica to be included in the sub-unit, but oh well…
I can’t wait to hear their song ^.^
I honestly have mixed feelings about this move. I mean, before singles like It’s Fantastic and Oppa Nappa with Jessica, Tiffany, and Seohyun was perfectly fine with me (they are still credited as SNSD and not as JeTiHyun).
But this is a mini-album altogether. And there will be some promotions of it too for sure. It’s good that they still get to appear and perform but hmm… let’s see. Maybe this is something similar to Super Junior subgroups as well, right? I honestly like Super Junior KRY.
I just hope to SMEnt that this is just like a small thing. As all SONEs would agree with Yuri, SNSD shines the brightest when all nine members are onstage as one.
TaeTiSeo sounds weird to me. SeoTaeNy sounds better… kekeke…
Anyways, I still wholeheartedly wish Seohyun, Taeyeon, and Tiffany all the best for this mini-album.
yeah i’m looking forward for this , but i really have a bad feeling for this , REALLY
i don’t know but i have a feeling this is the beginning of the end ,
I hope it never happens …..
+I didn’t know that SM is such a hardcore shipper of the KIM family :))
+TaeTiSeo – oh come on, KIM’s or TaeNyHyun is a much more suitable name!!!
+Can’t wait to see their album tops all the charts.
+As long as it contains GG’s member. I support them to the fullest!
—> Don’t be worried guys, GG’s very 1st full-length English album gonna b released soon, maybe in this July as they stated before :)
<3^^<3
agree with u 200%
i’m happy they are coming with a new song but sad as well because i only got to see three of them making a comeback… :(
at first I don’t really agree with this. I love soshi because of their bond, their nine.. but come to think about it, I think this is good too.. I mean, we will often see them in music program (although not nine, and we can see MC TaeNyHyun to perform in MuCore. hahahhh.. Kim Familiy in action lol) and this is the first time I heard a group will form a subunit and maybe will form another subunit and showcase all the member later.. it will be nice to see their other talents. it’s daebak and we must support this.. Sone always support Soshi no matter what happen, right? hehehh…
we will always give you guys all of love and support that we can give no matter what happen..
hwaiting always Soshi!!!!
Woah SMEnt. what’s with the name??? xD
why ‘TaeTiSeo’? why not TaeNyHyun?? or Kim Family instead? LOL jkjk ^___^
I will support them no matter what. But still, “Power of 9” is all the wayyyyyy~
I like the fact that the subunit will change out members to fit the concept. Then it really becomes an SNSD project. I also like that it is a mini-album, Even better, seems like it’s target it Korea since SM is handling it. Which means that SNSD will not loose focus but will rather gain better attention to individual members. Finally I like that the name is still the same they are Girl’s Generation – TaeTiSeo not just TaeTiSeo. In the end, it seems SM was smart with it.
As for the concept…..um…..bright…and def very new. I think it will be interesting to see what music they produce that will be different from SNSD but similar
At first, I had mixed feelings about a sub-unit. But after what SM said about the sub unit changing members with each concept, I feel more comfortable knowing that I will still hear the voices of all the 9 talented women. So after everything that SM has confirmed, I like the idea of this sub unit now and I can’t wait for the release! And on a side note, I don’t know if anyone else sees it, but in the photo, Seohyun totally almost looks like Nicki Minaj. Haha. :)
a sub unit is so that SNSD wont be in hiatus for so long.. if sones have to wait for all 9 members to finish their indiviudal activites and japan promotions..to make a comeback. then i think we will have to wait a long time.. having a sub unit, means we can see some of the members more often on music programmes.. while the other members are acting and doing musical.. of cos SNSD will still be 9 and they will still release FULL ALBUMs as NINE.. sub units only releases Mini Albums..
aigooooo…i kno tht this hasn’t really worked with some other groups….but i kno our girls can make it special and make it work…..they’ve never disappointed us for over 4 years and i kno tht they’ll continue to keep tht up! (plus who doesn’t love more taeny moments xD) but seriously, Soshi and SONEs will always be there for each other no matter what happens…hwaiting!
i don’t get the anxiety over the subunit…if you think the bond between snsd can be broken that easily than you’re just lying when you say all that stuff about how soshi will live forever…please make up your mind…i think this will be really cool…other than taeyeon’s wig haha…and if it is being rolled out like i think…they are the first of three subunits to showcase all the girls and their collective talents…i’m really excited…i am almost certain we will see this at smtown la!!! :-)
Honestly, I don’t like this “subunit” thing! They can sing solo/duet/trio/quartet/quintet/sextet/so on, but they mustn’t released an album without all 9 members in 1! >_<
