Her favorite season is winter, but likes cactuses, purple flowers, and eating gummy bears. She has two dogs: Ginger and Zero. Has 6 tattoos, and 7 piercings.
Taeyeon is forgetful, short-sighted and has to wear contact lenses when she’s not wearing her glasses, sleepwalks and sleeptalks, and is very scary when she is angry, so make sure you don’t upset her.
She released her first solo album, after leaving Girls’ Generation, in October 2015, and it was named “I”. She sold over 1 million albums, making her one of the best-selling South Korean female artists.

Frequently asked questions about – Taeyeon
Do you still have some questions about Taeyeon? I have the answers below.
Is Taeyeon single or dating?
Taeyeon is single, but she used to date Baekhyun from Exo. And there were rumors of her dating Ravi from VIXX a few years ago. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their girlfriend, but she is either a very private person, or being a Kpop artist is not that easy.
When asked about her type she states that she doesn’t like guys with long hair, but also:
“Wouldn’t the most basic factor be the guy’s pretty smile? To make their smile shine, it would be nice to have a guy with a clear white skin and red lips. I wish their style would look natural no matter the location or time.“
