Kim Taeyeon or simply Taeyeon or Taenggo, is Girls Generation's leader. She is the eldest among the 9 members and is probably the busiest one too. Along with her members, and sometimes alone, she appears on different variety shows and co-hosts even some of them such as KBS Win Win.

I've known Taeyeon as someone who's timid and strong based from what I see in her appearances on those variety shows. I remember Horror Movie Factory back in 2009 when she was tagged as among those aren't easily scared. She is timid but she can handle things.

Taeyeon is very talented. She can sing, dance, act, etc. She has the reputation of having the most powerful voice of SNSD. I for one can attest that among their songs, when she does her solo parts, you can easily hear her voice overpower the group.

She has been a radio DJ for MBC's Chinhan Chingu (친한 친구 which literally means best/intimate friend) Radio for 2 years and just stood down as its DJ last Sunday, April 25, 2010. Well, I listed to her show lots of times through MBC's own player and few times with live video. She's cute and she is a very talented DJ. As for someone who is not fluent yet in Korean, I find it hard to understand the appreciate most of the show but it's all good.

She is now getting ready for her own musical, following Jessica's steps, and her international activities. They have an Asian Tour and hopefully (fingers crossed!) they would visit us here in the Philippines. There you have it, SNSD's kid leader!
