Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, who's been riding high with her solo album 'To. X', spilled the beans on why she's been MIA from music shows.

On March 28th, Taeyeon popped up on the online channel '동해물과 백두은혁 Hey, Come here' web show '이쪽으로올래'. That day, Taeyeon didn't hold back, saying, "I'm not a fan of how music shows operate."

Taeyeon dropped her solo album 'To.X' in November last year. The title track, also named 'To.X', climbed up various music charts. On social media, challenge videos synced to the lyrics went viral, making it a massive hit.

But, the no-show of 'To.X' on music broadcasts left many fans feeling bummed. Taeyeon, talking about her absence from music shows, said, "I get it, but I think it's thoughtless to have to perform at dawn." It's common knowledge that music shows usually do their pre-recordings in the wee hours.

Taeyeon acknowledged, "There are things you can't avoid," and also thought about the music shows' perspective.

Super Junior's Eunhyuk, who was hosting, agreed with the harsh reality of music shows, saying, "There are budget constraints and many artists have to pre-record. It's inevitable."

Taeyeon expressed her disappointment that she can't give her best performance on music shows due to various factors. Instead, she feels it's way better to create other content and deliver a top-notch performance.

Eunhyuk chimed in, saying that while music shows were a must-do in the past, now there are plenty of other platforms to showcase talent. He nodded, saying, "It's right for me to strive for more, create better, and show something superior."

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.
