It's a song I fell in love with from the beginning. "

    The following is the full text of Taeyeon's Instagram post.

    Completed 3rd full album. A project that started a long time ago. After several seasons, I finally hear it. For this 3rd album, there are the great people who have worked hard and silently in an invisible place. Unintentionally, I'm a little shy to be the first to be mentioned on this big project and be in the spotlight. 

    It’s something I always feel while making albums, but I’m getting the help of so many people, and I know very well that the results they listen to, understand, and express my opinions are things that can’t be achieved with normal concentration and a normal mind. 

    And all of that just comes as an emotion. Thanks to all of our staff, managers, writers, knights, directors, etc., who are sincere, passionate, and know how to do it professionally even in difficult situations, everything is completed thanks to you. 

    Let's focus together on the album of singer 'Taeyeon', and I will dare to take the lead so that the time and effort spent on it are not in vain. You worked hard with me again on the next level. #INVU #3rdAlbum #TAEYEON #Taeyeon Thank you also to the fans who always believed and waited for Sowon

  • Kang Ye Won Breaks Down in Tears, Says She’s ‘Destined to Never Marry’—Joins Dating Show for Her 83-Year-Old Father

    Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

    On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

    During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

    She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

    She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

    When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

    "It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

    However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

    She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

    Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
