Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon is getting candid about her feelings amid the pandemic.
The 31-year-old South Korean idol spoke openly during an Instagram Live over the weekend about her sadness and frustration.
“I’ve started a live broadcast to talk with those who have been diligently practicing social distancing,” she explained, via Soompi on Tuesday (September 1).
“COVID-19 has gotten so serious that I think the [current Level 2] social distancing rules have become Level 2.5 distancing. I don’t think we’re at Level 3 yet, but I honestly think we should consider them the same thing.”
“This [pandemic] isn’t getting any better, and it’s such a serious matter. There are so many people who are sick. Isn’t this affecting our daily lives? I think we’re beginning to fall apart. So I really hope everyone practices social distancing,” she went on to say.
“I think that as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens, we have less and less that we can do. Isn’t that really annoying?”
She revealed that she has spent her time at home watching dramas and movies, making bracelets and playing with her dog Zero.
“Honestly, aren’t we all the same? We practice social distancing, we’re bored at home, we can feel lethargic, and we miss being with people. In a world that is already lonely without the COVID-19 pandemic, now we have to socially distance…people may think that staying at home is nice for me since I’m a homebody, but above all, I’m a singer, so I also want to sing and perform at concerts,” she said.
“Once I think the pandemic is starting to go away, it just gets worse. It’s true that I’m starting to get exhausted.”
She also revealed how this is now affecting her career.
“I think working people, not just me, are feeling a sense of loss and emptiness. I feel like I’ve lost my job now that I can’t perform. I really almost started crying just now. I’ll be waiting for the day I can meet everyone again.”

Jessica Jung is breaking out on the literary scene!
The 30-year-old former Girls’ Generation member and K-pop superstar wrote a Young Adult novel called Shine, acquired earlier in 2019 in a two-book deal by Simon Pulse, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.
Shine tells the story of Rachel Kim, a Korean-American teenager in training to become the next major K-Pop star.
The novel is set to be released in hardcover, eBook and audio in the U.S. and is scheduled for release in fall of 2020, with a sequel to follow in 2021.
The novel is currently being developed alongside Glasstown Entertainment, co-founded by author and screenwriter Lauren Oliver and author and editor Lexa Hillyer, for film and television at ACE Entertainment, the team behind Netflix‘s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.
“With Shine, I wanted to tell a big, fun, escapist story that also examines in-depth, behind-the-scenes aspects of the K-Pop world. My goal was to tell a transparent, candid story—in a way that sometimes fiction does best,” Jessica says.
“This is an incredible opportunity to help tell Jessica’s story across multiple platforms, and to launch a debut that’s as sparkly and enchanting as its creator,” says Glasstown’s President of Publishing Lexa Hillyer.
