She is tall, pretty, and amazing. Or yeah she's the tallest among the other members that I, at the first time, couldn't believe Taeyeon as the leader is even shorter than her. So, people talked all about SNSD and I kept mentioning Choi Sooyoung, Choi Sooyoung, and Choi Sooyoung.
As time went by, I got more information about that nine-member girlband. The group consists of Taeyeon as the leader, so-called dancing-queen Hyeoyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Yuri, YoonA, Seohyun, Jessica (whom my jiejie was so obsessed to look like her), and definitely, Choi Sooyoung. I copied some songs from my jiejie's cell-phone and listened to them for days. Being aware that I only got singles from my jiejie's cell-phone, I decided to find full albums and EPs. Now, I have several albums on my iTunes which I sometimes play to accompany me working. And one day, a friend recommended me a song sung by Taeyeon titled "If". I listened to the song and there, I thought that the other members probably had solo performances, too. So I searched for other members' solo performances and I found one by Tiffany titled "Ring".
I listened to Tiffany's "Ring" and I started to love it. The song is so beautiful and romantic, arranged in wonderful arrangement. I still love the song. I often listen to it and set my music player to repeat one-song only, so I will not listen to anything but Tiffany's "Ring". As the result, "Ring" is ranked as the first on Most-Played song on my iTunes.
Then I thought myself,
""Ring" is amazing. I think Tiffany must be amazing, too,"
So I looked for information about Tiffany and a blog provided a comprehensive biography of her. I read the articles about her thoroughly and I started to like her. But reading her biography was not enough for me so I read more and more about her, and I thought I'd idolize her soon.
Yes! I idolize her now!
I have reasons why I idolize her. It's not because she's beautiful (hey, she's beautiful indeed and it doesn't need to be questioned), it's because some things that she has.
Tiffany starred MTV SNSD Special on 5th episode and I found out that she came to South Korea from United States on 2004 by herself to pursue her dream. She's amazing. She went to Korea by herself and she worked so hard to give the best. The way she worked so hard is admirable. She tried to persuade her father to let her go pursue her dream since her father didn't want her to be a singer at first, and she did it. She practices hard on dancing and singing, and she always tries her best, even though she is not the leader. She always tries to improve herself. She sometimes finds difficulty in pronouncing some Korean vocabularies, but she doesn't give up easily. I think she must have made great improvement for herself.
Her personality is also the reason to love her. I see her smile. Yes, she always smiles. And yeah, again, I watched the 5th episode of MTV SNSD Special. Tiffany said that all she would do when she was feeling sad is smiling, because she thought that smiling is the best thing to do. She also said that she doesn't like crying in front of people because it's embarrassing. I don't need much time to say that she's a friendly person, even though I haven't met her face-to-face. And she's a strong person. She sometimes feels lonely, sad, or angry, but she won't let things get her too downhearted and finally she will overcome it.
So, about her voice? Ah, I don't need to explain more about it. She's bright, even brighter than jewels, and she has sweet amazing voice. It's probably hard to listen to Tiffany's voice in particular when she performs with the group, but she has several solo performances in which she sings a song by herself. "Ring", "Because It's You", and "I'm Alone" are my favorite Tiffany's solo performances. You might want to listen to those songs so you will hear her voice more clearly.
So, yeah, I think that's all I can explain about her. I actually still have a lot of things to show how I adore her, not only as an idol, but also, umh... well, she's like a sister for me. I can say that SNSD must be very thankful to have her. And I thank God for knowing her. Why? Because she somehow motivates me. It may sound weird since I haven't met her in real life, but there's a way she can indirectly teach me a lot of things in this life.
누나,구마워요 :)
