On July 22nd, Hyoyeon and her partner Kim Hyungsuk won first place on “Dancing with the Stars II”, on an episode which showed six teams performing live for the seventh time. The mission for the day was “My Story”, in which the contestants expressed their life stories in dancing.
On that day, Hyoyeon visited the SM Entertainment practice room thinking about her seven years as a trainee and expressed gratitude towards her parents for looking out for her. She thanked them by saying, “I wasn’t sure if I was a good dancer, but my father discovered my talent and suggested I become a singer.”
Furthermore, when she was asked what Girls’ Generation means to her, she replied with a big smile, “Girls’ Generation isn’t like a treasure to me, but a ‘miracle’. I’m still amazed that I’m part of Girls’ Generation.”
However, Hyoyeon also has a lot of worries because there are nine members. When she was asked what are some things that burden her by being part of Girls’ Generation, she replied, “How I can be recognized. It’s hard to have the name ‘Hyoyeon’ publicized in Girls’ Generation.”
She showed more willpower by saying, “I’m glad I can get recognized through ‘Dancing with the Stars II’. I’ll work harder.”
This episode also featured Hyoyeon’s audition clip, in which she showed powerful locking dance moves in her childhood, along with clips of senior artists talking about “Dancing Queen Hyoyeon”.
When Shinhwa’s Lee Minwoo was asked in an interview which girl group he looked upon the most, he replied, “I’m a Girls’ Generation fan, and I always had an interest in Hyoyeon because she danced so well, thinking she could be the next BoA. I’m glad she accomplished her dream.”
Super Junior’s Eunhyuk, who Hyoyeon shared her trainee days with, said, “Hyoyeon danced so well among 100 trainees and stood out the most. I also went to Hyoyeon to learn to dance.”
Unfortunately, Hyoyeon was unable to perform live on “Dancing with the Stars II” due to promotions for “PAPARAZZI” in Japan, but won first place with a pre-recorded segment which showed a combination of her powerful locking and the cha-cha-cha. The Kim Kayoung and Kim Kangsan team sadly was eliminated.

Dancing Queen Hyoyeon!! For me I think she shouldn’t worry to much about not being recognize.. How could we not recognized or acknowledge the presence of the soul/mood maker of our beloved soshi.. ^_^ Hyoyeona jjang!! ^_^
She deserves the “Dancing Queen” title, she’s absolutely amazing!
i loved Hyo’s dance for that episode of DWTS…
she really stuck with the theme and really, the dance she presented with Kim Hyungsuk was her story…
she gave a very modern twist to chachacha without losing her character, she made sure that her story was apparent in the dance she presented!
she really deserved 1st place for this one! :D
so happy for our Hyoyeon
it’s very hard for her to exist in girl’s generation. but she s so talentued , she works so much to fullfill her dreams .
very good thing she is in dancing with the stars.

Hyoyeon was there for 7 years? She’s the same with Jessica? So why does Jessica always gets mentioned when they talk about the longest training period in SNSD?
Jessica is the longest among them. maybe hyoyeon just mention the time of the longest trainee among them to representing that the member of Girls generation training for 7 years start from the first join the training, Jessica. and then yoona, seohyun, sooyoung, hyoyeon, yuri, yoona, seohyun, tiffany, taeyeon, sunny.
CMIIW.^^
Oh, but I thought Jessica then Hyo yeon then Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun and etc. Check the show Beatles Code.
In KBS2 Show Story Rock I think there were rankings their including casting, If I remember it correctly sica = hyoyeon were same in years spent as a trainee.. Just check it out in the soshi subs downloads.. ^_^
