Life and career
1989–2008: Early life and career beginnings
See also: Girls' Generation. Taeyeon was born on March 9, 1989, in Jeonju, South Korea.[2] [3] Her family consists of her parents, an older brother, and a younger sister Kim Hayeon, who made her solo debut in 2020.[4] [5] [6] Having believed that she was "only talented" at singing, Taeyeon first dreamed of becoming a singer at a young age.[7] During her second year in middle school, Taeyeon accompanied her father to SM Academy, a former music institution and auxiliary affiliation of SM Entertainment, to pursue vocal lessons. Although at the time her father did not encourage Taeyeon to become an entertainer, he was persuaded by the school's principal to give his daughter a chance after she recognized Taeyeon's "clean" voice. During the next year, Taeyeon accompanied her father from their hometown to Seoul every Sunday to receive vocal lessons from The One.[8] She named BoA, Whitney Houston and Hikaru Utada as her pre-debut inspirations.[9] [10]
Taeyeon trained under The One for three years. In a 2011 interview, he described Taeyeon as a "smart" student, someone "unlike others who came to him with dreams of becoming a celebrity... [she] wanted to be a singer and reach the top with her own talents." In 2004, he "wanted to acknowledge Taeyeon's potential" by giving her the chance to be in his song "You Bring Me Joy".[11] [12] That same year, she won first place at the SM Youth Best Competition and signed a contract with SM Entertainment. The training process was so tough that she almost quit at one point; she persisted, however, and debuted as a member of girl group Girls' Generation in August 2007.[13] [14] [15] Both the president of SM Academy and The One later named Taeyeon as one of their most memorable students.[16] [17] [18] Taeyeon graduated from Jeonju Art High School and was awarded the school's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.[19]
2008–2015: Original soundtracks, TTS and SM The Ballad

Taeyeon sang "7989" (featuring Kangta), a track from both Girls' Generation's eponymous debut album (2007) and Kangta's fourth studio album, Eternity (2008).[20] Taeyeon began to gain popularity through her various television soundtrack releases, recording "If" for the KBS2 drama Hong Gil Dong (2008) and "Can You Hear Me" for MBC's drama Beethoven Virus (2008).[21] "If" was later deemed more popular than its respective drama,[22] and "Can You Hear Me" won a Popularity Award at the 2008 Golden Disk Awards.[23] Both tracks remain among Taeyeon's most well-known hits. During this period, she also recorded "It's Love", a duet with Girls' Generation member Sunny, for the MBC drama Heading to the Ground (2009).[24]
Following a radio hosting job in 2009–10,[25] Taeyeon journeyed into acting, making her theatrical debut in a lead role in the 2010 musical A Song to the Sun. She played the part of Kaoru Amane, a teenager who suffered from xeroderma pigmentosum, and learned to play a guitar for the role. Her performance in the sold-out shows received good press despite the musical's critical reviews of the musical itself.[26] [27] Jang Gyeong-jin of 10Asia praised Taeyeon's "distinct vocals" and commented that her acting stood out among idol stars who had ventured into musical theatre,[28] while Kim Ji-yeong from The Dong-a Ilbo felt "Taeyeon's optimistic and charming personality made her the perfect match" for the role.[29] Despite the favorable response, Taeyeon later described musicals as difficult, stating that her weak concentration made it hard for her to act and sing at the same time.[30]
The same year, Taeyeon worked with Korean songwriter-composer Ahn Young-min. She recorded "Like A Star", featuring The One, which reached number one on the Gaon Digital Chart.[31] [32] Her next single, "I Love You", for the SBS drama soundtrack, reached number two.[33] Ahn recalled his impression of the latter song: "I was surprised at how well Taeyeon could sing. This is a rather mature song, so I would be lying if I said I didn't have my doubts, but she blew me away. I was moved to tears listening to her singing."[34] In 2011, Taeyeon lent her voice to Kim Bum-soo's "Different", a single on his seventh album Solista: Part 2.[35] The song debuted at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart.[36] Taeyeon and Kim Bum-soo reunited at his concert two years later for a live cover version of the latter's 2008 song "Man and Woman".[37]
After their first collaboration on the drama Beethoven Virus (2008), musical director Lee Pil-ho was determined to collaborate with Taeyeon again on the soundtrack for MBC's melodrama The King 2 Hearts (2012), having her record the main theme song "Missing You Like Crazy".[38] It was released in March 2012 and debuted at number two on both the Gaon Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100.[39] [40] Taeyeon's vocals received positive feedback from the song's composer Park Hae-woon: "She fully understood the song in its entirety and expressed each detail very precisely...even though this song requires the lowest note that a female singer can produce, Taeyeon executed them perfectly."[41] The song was named the most popular soundtrack at 2012 Seoul Drama Awards.[42] Later in the year, she contributed vocals to the song "Closer", for the SBS drama To the Beautiful You, which charted at number seven on both the Gaon Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100.[43] [44]

In February 2014, Taeyeon joined the roster of SM the Ballad, a ballad group initially formed by SM Entertainment in 2010, contributing vocals to their second album Breath. Her lead single of the same name, a duet with Shinee's Jonghyun, peaked at number three and six on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart and K-pop Hot 100 Chart, respectively.[56] [57] She also recorded a solo song, "Set Me Free", for the album.[58] Her other releases in 2014 included "Colorful" for JTBC's campaign "The World Is More Beautiful Because We're Different" and "Love, That One Word" for the SBS's drama You're All Surrounded; the latter entered Top 10 on both Gaon Digital Chart and K-Pop Hot 100.[59] [60] [61] In February 2015, Taeyeon accepted a personal request from f(x)'s Amber to feature in "Shake that Brass", the lead single from her debut album, Beautiful.[62]
