Girls’ Generation or SNSD—composed of Hyoyeon, Seohyun, Sooyoung, Sunny, Tiffany, Taeyeon, Yoona, and Yuri—has already cemented their Queens of K-pop status since debuting in 2007. Over 15 years later, it thrills us to see some of them transition into acting and star in highly-rated K-Dramas.
While the members now belong to different labels and agencies, they still continue to meet with their loyal followers through fan meets and concerts worldwide. This includes Yuri and Taeyeon, who wanted to show their love for Filipino fans through their first solo visits to the Philippines–Yuri for a fan meet on July 9 and Taeyeon for a concert on July 30.
