Her family is made up of her parents, her older brother and her younger sister.[2] At the age of thirteen, Taeyeon discovered that she was talented in singing.[3] During her high school years, she enrolled in the SM Academy and travelled from Jeonju to Seoul every Sunday to receive her vocal training.[4][5] In 2004, her former vocal instructor, Jung Sun-won, also known as The One, wanted to recognise the potential of Taeyeon and gave her the opportunity to be in his song "You Bring Me Joy".[6][7] Later, she won in SM Youth Best Competition[8] and, officially, got a contract with S.M. Entertainment.[5] Taeyeon continued her training under her agency and debuted as part of Girls' Generation in 2007.[5][9][10] In 2008, she graduated from Jeonju Art High School, winning the Lifetime Achievement Award.[11] In the pre-debut era, Taeyeon was inspired by singer BoA to become an artist. In her teens she said she wanted to be like her and have activities in Japan and around the world, which later became a reality when Girls' Generation debuted in Japan in 2010.[12][13]

2007-11: Girls' Generation and solo activities

change

Taeyeon made her debut as a member of the South Korean girl group Girls' Generation in August 2007. Due to the pressure of being the group's leader,[14] she experienced sleepwalking for a while.[15] Apart from the activities with Girls' Generation, Kim has made several solo appearances.

 

In 2008, she released two singles, "If" for the KBS 2TV drama Hong Gil Dong[16] and "Can You Hear Me" for Beethoven Virus of MBC.[17] The song "If" became popular[18][19] in various charts online, with Hankyung describing Taeyeon as having "an exceptional voice and a sad tone".[20] While "Can You Hear Me" received a popularity award at the 2008 Golden Disk Awards.[21] In 2014 in an interview, Taeyeon described the latter's song as one more difficult to sing, she explains that the introduction had to be delivered as if someone is talking, instead of singing.[22][23] In the same year, she also had a duet with an artist from S.M. Entertainment, Kangta, in the song "7989". It was featured on the Girls' Generation album by Girls' Generation.

She maintains her hopes for writing songs and singing every night at a train station; Taeyeon received good reviews for her performance.[36] She also learned to play the guitar for her performance.[37] Reflecting on her experience, Taeyeon stated that the musical was difficult for her, citing that her weak concentration made her act and sing at the same time. It was difficult for her.[38][39] Taeyeon released a song, "Like A Star", accompanied by his former trainer The One,[40] as well as a solo song, "I Love You," for the SBS drama, Athena: Goddess of War.[41] The previous song reached number one on Gaon's digital list.[42] The previous song reached number one on the digital list of Gaon42 and the last reached the second place.[43]
