GIRLS’ GENERATION Hyoyeon Reveals How She Deals With Malicious Comments

Hyo is no stranger to criticism. After all, the GIRLS’ GENERATION member has been criticized for most of her career as an idol. But how does Hyoyeon manage to ignore all the malicious comments? The “Picture” singer has opened up about the best way to deal with haters.

GIRLS’ GENERATION Member Hyoyeon Opens Up About Dealing With Malicious Comments

Cosmopolitan Korea recently conducted an insightful interview with GIRLS’ GENERATION’s Hyoyeon following her successful solo comeback. During the interview, Hyo discussed how she maintains a positive attitude despite all the criticisms she has faced.

“I think the occupation of being a celebrity makes even the most optimistic person view themselves in a negative light,” she said. “Even for me – in my earlier days, right after I debuted – I thought I would only receive love, but I received a lot of criticism and attacks instead.

“I thought I only had to show myself to the public after training for seven years, but people were too busy leaving malicious comments about me,” she continued. Hyoyeon then admitted that this was a difficult period but she found a way to deal with it.

“During that time, I rode my bike a lot,” Hyo continued. “I would wake up at 6 in the morning, and ride along the Han River, watching the birds fly. I would come back, have breakfast, and then go for my schedule. I think that was a wise choice.

“Luckily, my innate personality is quite simple, and I tend to filter out things that aren’t helpful,” she added. “So I decided to think ‘They don’t have good taste.'”

Hyo concluded with helpful advice for her fans. “You need to think about the bad things for just a short time and dwell on the good things for a long time. It’s about focusing on what’s important. So, I only remember the enjoyable things,” she said.

This is great advice indeed and we’re glad Hyo knows how to deal with malicious comments. With that in mind, fans are looking forward to more of her positive attitude in her next comebacks.

Hyoyeon Discusses Relationship With Other GIRLS’ GENERATION Members

GIRLS’ GENERATION’s Hyoyeon recently offered an unfiltered glimpse into the current dynamics among the group’s members. HYO, who made her comeback with the single “Picture,” appeared on KBS CoolFM’s “Lee Eun Ji’s Music Plaza” on August 29. During her visit, she shared intriguing insights about her career and addressed listener questions.

Hyoyeon Talks About The Difficulties of Communicating With Other GIRLS’ GENERATION Members

One fan inquired about how her fellow group members reacted to her new single, leading Hyoyeon to candidly illuminate the group’s real dynamic. She disclosed that, in reality, they don’t closely monitor each other’s individual schedules due to their incredibly busy lives. This makes it nearly impractical to keep constant tabs on one another.

The revelation sheds light on the challenges of maintaining close connections within a highly active and dynamic group like GIRLS’ GENERATION, where each member is pursuing their individual endeavors. HYO’s candid response provides valuable insight into the realities of maintaining strong bonds within a large, busy group.

Interestingly, Hyoyeon admitted she has yet to hear from the other members of the group since her single’s release.

“This time, while preparing for my solo song, I didn’t say anything to them,” she told the host. “After the song was released, I told them it came out asked them to promote it, but there was no feedback… I met one of the members yesterday, and they said it was very cool.”

It may sound cold but the members of GIRLS’ GENERATION are clearly busy with their own schedules. Although it means they don’t bond like other groups, there is little doubt that their friendship is forever.

Hyoyeon also revealed that she doesn’t do a lot when she isn’t promoting as a solo artist. “During my off-season, I am just like anyone else – I even wear the same clothes for five days straight,” Hyoyeon said.

HYO’s new single “Picture” was released on August 22, 2023.
