Thanks for the translation. I agree 100% with the article. That is exactly how we guys think. Taeyeon is a perfect example of any girl next door that you could meet in real life. She has not that great looks that could scare a guy away, and she is very approachable because of her personality. I am not saying that the other girls of Soshi are not attractive, in fact everybody has something that I like in them, but Taeng is a mixture of her own.

wow...yea i guess dat goes for most guys actually
most guys do like pretty girls like everyone like pretty things
but guys really want things dat doesnt seem to be too distant from tem
taeyeon's modest image really has a major impact n probably her biggest asset other den her singing skills

[Lieutenant]

that's really odd since i had the idea that other member was the most popular with the guys by her looks pff...

but it's damn right, i think the fact that taeyeon is the most dorky, simple minded and nice of the group is why she's popular with the guys, and even with the girls too, i mean, i'm a girl and i think she's really cute and funny, for me she's feels like a person that could be really good friends with everyone.

Good article and very interesting indeed, thanks for the translation!

this guy is a total analyst of Taeyeon and yeah all the facts have been stated there in the translation!
a very unique superstar because she doesn't act like one compared to other countries; i like the fact all of them are being very natural in front of cameras and i believe that's how they brought the audience closer to them...

thanks for the big chunk of translations!! 5 stars

[myFANYman]

I'm a boy...
I must admit.. Taeyeon really is great...

this is the first time ever that I have been addicted to a girl group..

and one of the reasons is because fo Taeyoen.. so cute.. and so funny

honestly I really think Taeyeon is the cutest thing that ever steepped into this planet hahaha

I love you Taeyeon and evryone else!! hwaiting!!!! SNSD!

[MarvHearts9]

taeyeon is famous because of her character and socializing skills with the other male idols
yoona is popular due to her dramas and impersonations

Thus, it is highly likely that women see Taeyeon as an "weird celebrity is not pretty and just acts cute but is still popular," <--only from one point of view -,-

<33SNSD HWAITING

[classied]

This article was really interesting and highlighted a lot of important points/made some interesting comparisons.

That said, I'm a girl and I find her dorkiness hilariously awesome.

[slickspam]

Other than her fabulous singing skills, Taeyeon really has a great personality.
She seems very natural and simple minded and I think that's why a lot of people are drawn to her.
Me included, and I'm a girl.

Thanks for the article!

I think that although Taeyeon might not be the prettiest entertainer in the kpop industry, she has her own charms.. and i believe those charms play a large part in attracting her legion of supporters!

[sgbfan]

This post is quite interesting and i totally agree! ^^
But this topic it's interesting because the girl's answers of Soshified. I'm expected... "indifferent" posts about it
It's surprising that Taengoo have a positive image in women, i think.

[Wonderful S.O.N.E.]

I personally think Taengoo is the prettiest one in So Nyuh Shi Dae. Plus, she's smart, dorky, responible, and cute. She can also sing great! I LOVE her because she sorta reminds me of my mom.

[Patrick7124]

Yep!! Thats true!! Simplicity is the best way to attract guys or me!! haha!!

Come on! Attraction is not rocket science!

TaeYeon is HOT too!! When you first see her, there is nothing to be dazzled about, but once you get to know her, you w/o knowing slowly starts to be immersed in what I call the "Tae Effect"!
Im also a victim of the "Tae Effect"! haha!! And last but not the least, when you get old beauty is irrelevant you tend to focus more on someone with a greater personality and not boring!

Thats all..

Kamsamhamnida!

[TheLaughingMan]

wow that was quite an accurate article. She's the one I first noticed out of the nine when I first saw SNSD (in the mv 'girls generation').

But i think there are much more girls agreeing to most of the guys point of view on Taeyeon (being cute, dorky, calm and composed leader, etc.) It was probably her cuteness/dorkyness and talent which makes her so popular.

[Clarice]

Target of girls' scoldings?
I don't think so.
At least for me, as a girl. Taengoo's my favourite member
I just love her dorky character onscreen and offscreen.
She takes care of the members well and the members listen to her well.
Where else can we get such a adorkable kid leader?

[l’éclaircie]

I think Tae's pretty, cute, and genuinely dorky! She doesn't even have to "act cute" as the article says. She just is lol. She has loads of talent and looks after the other members. Such an awesome leader She's my favourite! Taengoo jjang!!

[RedKite88]

Really good article. I think Taeyeon's definitely pretty and cute. Yes, she might not be the prettiest, but I agree that that's where some of her appeal actually comes in. She's very natural with her dorkiness, and it makes her seem very real and approachable.

[Taelove]

That article was pretty much bang on for me as a guy. I think there are people that are prettier than Taeyeon, but these people usually seem really unapproachable. I usually imagine myself interacting with stars (for some odd reason xP), and my favourites are definitely the ones that I can imagine spending the whole day with without awkward situations. Taeyeon just seems so real and her dorkiness seems authentic - not some act for image. I'd love to simply hang out with her haha which makes her my fav~

[yoongator]

....... OMO >.< I myself is a taengoo fangirl xD . And yeah .... i think evry girl in SNSD is a guys's fantasy .

[cutekidaq]

thanks for sharing and translating the article/ write-up
very interesting...

yeah, i think i agree w/ what the author wrote. looking at taengoo she's not very pretty, she's cute though.
but there's something different in her...
which makes her stand out in the group...
i don't know how to put it into words but there's something in her that makes people attracted to her...
charisma? maybe... i don't know...

one thing i know is that i like her but she's not my fave member...

anyways, thanks again for the translation. a good read...
