Girls' Generation's Taeyeon calls out to former 2NE1 member Minzy, whom she met in the waiting room, "I want to collaborate"
Girls' Generation's Taeyeon said she would like to collaborate with former 2NE1 member Minzy.
On KBS 2TV's "Slam Dunk of the Sisters," broadcast on the afternoon of the 17th in Korea, Taeyeon said, "I would like to collaborate with Minzy."
On this day, the members visited the waiting room of "Music Bank."
Kim Sook met Taeyeon and asked, "Is there a member of 'Slam Dunk of the Sisters' that you would like to collaborate with?"
Taeyeon chose Minzy.
Minzy and Taeyeon stood side by side and posed.
The two of them boasted about their chemistry, which was like that of a team, and drew attention.

Even if it is said that Taeyeon (Girls' Generation) and Minzy (formerly of 2NE1) are collaborating, I can't imagine a stage where the fans are excited because their qualities are so different.
However, Taeyeon, who has built up a track record not only as the leader of Girls' Generation but also as a solo singer, must be able to clearly imagine what kind of image she should create to create a stage performance that will capture the hearts of fans, even in a collaboration with Minzy.
It's been about six years since Minzy joined the formation of the girl group 2NE1 as a talented young member.
After that, 2NE1 produced many hit songs and became a popular girl group that went on world tours, including Japan.
They have gained the reputation of being the top girl group representing K-pop hip-hop.
2NE1's hit songs have left many memorable scenes during their overseas tours, but Minzy has also left many memorable scenes in her dance performances.
However, as they continued to work energetically, Minzy not only improved her dancing but also her singing.
In fact, her singing was gradually gaining attention.
If 2NE1 had continued its activities, Minzy would have been highly regarded as a singer.
However, 2NE1 was hit by a scandal due to health problems of the members, and this affected them to be unable to work.
The members had to give up their group activities and had to be content with solo activities for a long period of time.
Leader CL focused her energy on her US debut, while Dara maintained small interactions with fans by appearing in TV dramas and variety shows.
This period was the most difficult for Minzy.
At first, she appeared on variety shows, but after that, information about her disappeared.
I later found out that she had opened a dance school and was teaching students.
Whether she did this because she had no TV appearances or because she didn't want to appear on a show that would just gloss over the issue is something that only she knows and that YG's agency knows.
Eventually, the time came for Minzy and the others to renew their contracts, and Minzy left YG without renewing her contract.
A year has passed since then, and Minzy has finally decided to make her solo debut and is about to return to the spotlight.
I don't know if Taeyeon has heard about this (although I'm sure she has).
Since they both led K-pop in its early days, there are surely many things they can share about their struggles.
I think Taeyeon chose Minzy as the person she wanted to collaborate with because she wanted to hear her story, meet her, and support her solo debut.
I hope she will take this opportunity to put her support into action and make the collaboration a reality.
