Kiss on the forehead? Girls' Generation's Taeyeon exudes girlish charm
Taeyeon from Girls' Generation showed off her refreshing charm.
Taeyeon posted a selfie on her Instagram on the 15th.
In the photo, Taeyeon is looking at the camera with a bright smile.
The lip mark on Taeyeon's forehead is particularly eye-catching.
Taeyeon will be 30 next year, but she still exudes the charm of a teenage girl.
Taeyeon released the deluxe edition of "My Voice" on the 5th of this month.
The new song "Make Me Love You" is a pop R&B number with a soulful vocal, and Taeyeon's soft tone and excellent singing ability have been harmonized to create a "spring carol" that is typical of Taeyeon.

Taeyeon will be 30 next year? "What! Is that so?"
I was surprised again.
In Korea, they use the age according to the Japanese counting system, so in reality it's 29 years old, but 29 and 30 are the same thing.
That means I've been listening to K-pop girls' music, including Taeyeon, for 10 years now.
And I don't think I'll get tired of it anytime soon.
When I was younger, I was into enka, but I don't remember following a specific singer and becoming obsessed with idol music.
But something has changed in my later years.
It seems like a change is happening in the way I listen to music.
Idol music is obviously not music sung by older singers for young people to listen to.
Normally, it's music that singers in their teens and twenties sing to their generation or younger generations, singing about youth, passion, dreams, and so on, with various messages.
However, idol music is generally immature, so it doesn't seem like it's something that only older people can listen to.
I listened to a variety of music until my later years, but I no longer listen to difficult music and instead find satisfaction in listening to idol music.
I don't think this is childish and immersing myself in simple music.
I don't think it's a silly musical hobby either.
It's fun to immerse yourself in the comfort of listening to the music of Mozart or Bach at a "classical music evening," and if that's what you're happy with, then that's fine.
It's also fine to be enthralled by rock, jazz, Scandinavian, or Latin music.
However, it's a different story if you're forcing yourself to listen to them as part of your education.
It's a sad story of going beyond your duties. Music is, in the end, something to enjoy by listening to (or playing), and nothing more.
Therefore, there's no point in listening to music that is neither fun nor joyful.
I do not deny that there is music for culture that is of a secondary importance, but this falls into the category of taste and etiquette, and is distinguished from popular music and cannot be said to surpass the former.
Even if people of high status (old people) have a meal and listen to music after an important meeting or discussion, they cannot play idol music in the name of relaxing.
In that case, they would have to listen to classical music or other music that is appropriate for formal occasions (although each person's tastes will vary).
As a practical matter, the ability of older people to appreciate music is far inferior to that of younger people.
Whether it's classical music, jazz, or whatever, their ability to distinguish between sounds is far inferior. The only thing they excel at is experience.
Makoto Nakahara, the eternal master of shogi, who was very successful in the game, said, "The board in my head became darker after I entered my 40s."
It's the same with music. No matter how much experience you have, the "music (notes) in your head" should become clearer as you get older. If you go to an idol music venue, it becomes a noisy place with the noise of instruments, the singer's voice, the enthusiasm of the fans, and so on.
If you have never been to such a venue, you will probably only perceive it as a roaring sound.
People with preconceived notions may think, "This can't be called music.
Music is classical after all."
However, you should not think that the young people there have bad ears. They certainly have better ears than the older people at the "Classical Night" venue.
Even though they are in a noisy venue, they are listening to the singer's voice and listening to the cheers and criticisms of others.
That is why it is the young people who are able to connect with a variety of music, and that is why we older people were able to listen to a variety of music when we were young.
After being immersed in a lot of music when I was young, I have returned to idol music.
The music of K-POP girls, including Taeyeon, is now my daily source of energy.
