TaeTiSeo becomes first unit group to earn twelve #1 trophies

Girls’ Generation once again proved what they are capable of.

The team’s first subgroup ‘TaeTiSeo‘ seized several #1 trophies on a number of different music programs, and will be wrapping up promotions with a final performance on the June 3rd broadcast ofSBS ‘Inkigayo‘.

With their hit song “Twinkle“, the girls secured #1 K-Chart wins for three consecutive weeks on SBS ‘Inkigayo’, KBS ‘Music Bank‘, Mnet ‘M! Countdown‘, and MBC Music‘s ‘Show! Champion‘. Though there have been many unit groups to grace the K-Pop scene, this is the first time a unit group has earned a triple-crown and secured a #1 win on each previously mentioned music program.

“Twinkle” which was released back April 30th proved that it had staying power, as it remained at the #3 spot on major Korean music site Melon as of May 31st KST.

After debuting as a unit group, the girls were acknowledged for their explosive vocal talent that they couldn’t properly display before with 9-member group Girls’ Generation. An insider from their agency SM Entertainment remarked, “I think TaeTiSeo was able to last a long while because with their subgroup promotions, the girls have been acknowledged for their music, their choreography, and their visuals.”

TaeTiSeo who admitted that they shook with nervous jitters for their first unit group performance remarked, “With Girls’ Generation, the charismatic choreography was extremely important, but I think with [unit] promotions, we were able to focus mainly on our vocals. Our company has been extremely supportive, and the other members joked that they were jealous.”

Girls’ Generation’s very first unit group TaeTiSeo is made up of Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun, and there is potential for new subgroups to emerge in the future.

TaeTiSeo reveals advantages and disadvantages of promoting as a unit

Girls‘ Generation‘s TaeTiSeo revealed that they became fonder in their relationships with the other members.

Recently, TaeTiSeo stated through an interview, “Because we have many individual activities, it is difficult to see each others’ faces. We always communicate through smartphone chatting, which is a huge encouragement.”

Taeyeon added, “I’m embarrassed to say this, but these days, us members say that we miss each other a lot. Since middle school-high school, we haven’t taken many pictures together, but now when we meet, we always take pictures together. As TaeTiSeo, the three of us try to perform with confidence and diligence, but compared to when all 9 members are on stage, I think the energy is definitely different. Also, because we only have 3 members, the assigned waiting room during broadcast is also much smaller.”

Tiffany stated, “I’m really thankful that the members sincerely cheer on TaeTiSeo. I watched the music video with the other members, and they enviously wondered if the agency invested more (into this video) than for Girls’ Generation – causing much laughter. I think we grew fonder with one another.”

There are also advantages of promoting as a unit. Tiffany explained, “When promoting with all 9 members, each member is assigned to a certain style. Because of this, throughout the promotion, we have to display the same style. However, performing with 3 members, we are able to select from a wider variety. I think we will be able to show more variety of styles than we were able to as Girls’ Generation.”

Taeyeon also stated, “As Girls’ Generation, the group choreography was the important element, but with 3 members, the stage focuses more on vocals than choreography. I think this is the point that changed the most.”
