SNSD stands for Sonyeoshidae which means Girl’s Generation. They were originally 9 but lost 1 member. I love them because I just like almost all of their songs but unfortunately they lost a member which I really love and I was really heart broken at that time and to tell you honestly I cried because of it :’(. If you are a kpop fan especially to those groups who lost members like Super Junior, EXO and etc. you will get what I’m saying here :( Especially with their “Catch Me If You Can” Music Video, because when Girls Generation first filmed their Music Video, Jessica was still part of the group but unfortunately before releasing the Music Video Jessica left so the other members have to film the music video again without her. So there are two Music Videos of “Catch Me If You Can” the one with Jessica and the one without her. I will be showing to you the videos below and I will share how I knew each member below :)
Watch the “Catch Me If You Can” With and Without Jessica Jung below! :’(

Kim Tae Yeon is the Leader and the Main Vocalist of the group. She has an older brother named Kim Ji Woong and a sister named Kim Hae Yeon. Taeyeon’s parents are both connected to music because Her father was a vocalist in a Band and her mother won Children Song Competitions when her mother was young. She was born on March 9, 1989 which makes her the oldest member.
I knew Taeyeon because he dated EXO’s Baekhyun with is one of my favorite members in EXO. But recently there was a news that they already broke up. Taeyeon is part of the subgroup “TTS” with co-members Tiffany and Seohyun. She released the album “I” on October 2015 and that makes Taeyeon the First Girls Generation member to have a Solo Debut.

Seo Joo Hyun also known as Seo Hyun is the Lead Vocalist in the Group. She is part of the subgroup “TTS” with Tiffany and Taeyeon. She was born on June 28, 1991 which makes her the youngest in the Group. Seo Hyun is an only child. She hates hamburgers and really loves potatoes. She released a Solo Album entitled “Secret” and she became the 3rd members in the group to have a solo debut.
She participated in the dramas “Passionate Love” on 2012, “Warm and Cozy” on 2015, “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo” and “Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo” on 2016 and many more.
I liked Seo Hyun more because of her We Got Married. She was paired with CN Blue’s Leader Jung Yong Hwa and they were called “Sweet Potato Couple” or “YongSeo Couple”. I really like their WGM because they were still young in the industry especially Seo Hyun, at that time she never tried acting yet and it was her first reality show. I can sense that her feelings were genuine, at the last episode of their WGM she even CRIED!! (and it made me cry too) Of all We Got Married couples I watched YongSeo is my Favorite <3
