tiffany on her family

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

SNSD's member Tiffany talks about her mother for the first time since the debut with tears.

During the recording of SBS 'Kim Jungeun's Chocolate' in Seoul Kangseogu Dungcheondong in 29th of July, SNSD (Yoona, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Taeyeon, Jessica, Tiffany, Sunny, Seohyun)'s member Seohyun's mother appeared which resulted in emotional tears.

Overwhelmed with emotions, Tiffany shed tears when Seohyun and her mother embraced each other warmly. Tiffany, who was more emotional than other members, confessed, "I thought of something that I want to say to my mom. This is the first time mentioning my mom in broadcast. Mom, you left this world before I have, but you gave me 8 sisters. I want to thank my mom and God".

The producer of the program Lee Jiwon stated during his talks with Newsen, "Tiffany's confession about her mother was never mentioned officially to the public, and it wasn't planned in the program as well". Through his own homepage, Producer Lee clearly stated that he discussed the matter with SM entertainment, and Tiffany's comments along with scenes of tears will be broadcasted.

Also after the recording, Producer Lee showed his amazement in Tiffany's tears and confessions on his homepage, which fans read afterwards.

Producer Lee mentioned, "I ran into the waiting room surprised, but Tiffany told me that she was happy, and thanked me for presenting her with such a great gift. She laughed and said that it could be broadcasted. I was very thankful, proud, sorry, and at the same time heartbroken".

Producer Lee continued, "As I was preparing SNSD's episode, their manager asked me of a favor. He told me to be careful about mentioning families, because to some members it is a hard topic to talk about". He also commented that he was very touched by Seohyun's mom and the nine girls, and how they looked like one family.

SNSD's sensational stage of 'Chocolate' will be broadcasted on 12 o'clock of 15th.

[crowleyd545.livejournal.com]

gah. i'm going to bawl when i watch the show.

[pickychu.livejournal.com]

Tiffany, who was more emotional than other members,
Gee, I wonder why.

I feel bad for her. Losing someone that close is rough. :(

[lovegraciie.livejournal.com]

oh man. T^T

[smilez4you.livejournal.com]

awwwww =[ poor girl

[proleptical.livejournal.com]

;_; Tiffany... she really must keep a lot to herself because I remember when they were both in Sukira neither Eunhyuk nor Eeteuk appeared to know her mom had passed aways since they kept asking her to say something to her mom and how they hope she was listening.

I wonder if Yoona said anything. D: I know that she was the only member besides Tiffany to not have a picture with her mom during their performance of 'Dear Mom' and she only ever mentions her dad and sister...

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised HyukJae and EeTeuk didn't know - she must really not talk about it very often. :x

I don't think YoonA's said anything... Even I don't know right now. Oh, a commenter at allkpop said that YoonA's mom left when she was a child.

[missatira.livejournal.com]

yikes. i wonder if she has hella bitter feelings towards her

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

Yeah, idk. I hope not... YoonA seems like such a sweet and happy person.

It's not really something anyone just up and talks about. I have a parent who passed away and lots of people I've known for a few years don't know. :\ It's not so much painful as it is awkward (also heh how does that topic come up often?)

[a-small-star.livejournal.com]

This exactly. My real mother died when I was seven, and though I call my stepmother "mom", she's not, really. People ask me all the time why I don't look like her or what my mom's like, and it's still sort of really painful to confess to people that my "mom" isn't really my mother. People I've known for years and years -- lots of my friends in high school had no idea until graduation day, when I had to explain why she and I looked nothing alike and why I was so upset and saying that my mother should have been there to see it.

It's really hard for some, and it is really awkward, I think, for everyone. But for some reason it comes up a lot now that I'm "out in the real world", people ask me more often what my parents are like.

Every time I see news about this I cry a lot, because I can relate to Fany so well in this respect. I'm glad she had the courage to say something about it, and it was a beautiful sentiment.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

Well it's just that they've known her for so long...

[gyuche.livejournal.com]

whoa, didn't know she lost her mom. That's sad. It always disheartens me to hear about people in the world who have lost parents. I know too many irl as it is :( :( :(

[polysweet.livejournal.com]

ugh omg. ;_; We get on each others nerves, but I don't even want to think about what it would like without my mom in my life.

[jaybomb.livejournal.com]

Mom, you left this world before I have, but you gave me 8 sisters.

idk why but that made me really really happy. ♥

[unsospiro.livejournal.com]

ia, that was beautiful =)

[malditha.livejournal.com]

that is heartbreaking, but what sweet comment of tiffany.
i'll probably end up crying watching this show : (

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

that's really sad. I never knew that her mom passed away.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

@_@ I hate it so much when anyone brings up DHae's dad on shows. I always feel like it's to get the tearjerking effect and fjdlsajdlfj it just seems so cruel, since DHae cries or nearly cries every time.

[jaybomb.livejournal.com]

I agree, watching his Arirang monologue was heartbreaking.

[missatira.livejournal.com]

who is donghae and what happened to his dad?

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

DongHae is a member of Super Junior. His dad died... two years ago, I think?

[mo-chan-tf.livejournal.com]

mte. =/

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

:/ Idk, DongHae cries every time.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

Nah, I think it's because Tiffany hasn't talked about it yet, whereas DHae has. So the reporters feel like it's okay to bring it up.

[xiao-baka.livejournal.com]

I guess for Donghae's dad it was pretty known, but this is the first time that Tiffany has explicitly said on a programme like this that her mom's passed away.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

8 sisters... ;____;

[mo-chan-tf.livejournal.com]

awww ;3; I feel like crying.

[hater-traitor.livejournal.com]

It really doesn't matter how much time has passed, it's always hard to talk about a parent you've lost.

I'm always annoyed when people feel the need to bring up the subject with Donghae. His father hasn't been gone very long. That's a really personal and sensitive issue.

[yunsias.livejournal.com]

I'm so proud of Fany for talking about her mom with a smile. And the producer was really nice and respectful to ask Fany and SM before deciding to include into the show. I really can't wait for the performances in the show!

[toshiya.livejournal.com]

i kind of wish people could stop asking them (donghae, her, etc) about it.
it's painful when a parent die, and talk about it it's really hard.

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

In her case, it's because nobody knows that her mom is passed. I think they bring it up assuming her mom's still around.

[sincronia.livejournal.com]

oh gosh ;~; i'm gonna weep like nobody's business upon watching this

[hongkish.livejournal.com]

fany <3

[receipt.livejournal.com]

ugh, it's still hard for me to talk about too :( i love tiffany ♥

[katchi12.livejournal.com]

T_T I can't imagine seeing Seohyun cry with her mom :(

[nudrive.livejournal.com]

"Tiffany's confession about her mother was never mentioned officially to the public, and it wasn't planned in the program as well"

suuuuuure, call me a cynic but I highly doubt they didn't plan on it, it really just sounds more like a lame excuse, 'it wasn't mentioned officially' -___- not only that, even if Tiffany never mentioned it in public ten seconds of research on google could tell you that. Poor Tiffany, I hope she doesn't become their second Donghae...

[hoyah.livejournal.com]

I think they didn't, though, because there were reports her mother was brought up in a question that assumed she was still around. :x

[riiche.livejournal.com]

Tiffany ♥;_;

[pretzel-knot.livejournal.com]

awww tiffany. ): ):

the producer seems like a nice person. others wld have brought it up just for some drama and ratings. which i really dislike.

[extraenchanted.livejournal.com]

I just read this and I already started crying. T_T Oh Tiffany <3
