By the quality of Tiffany/Taeyeon's solos I lowkey hope SNSD stays just doing their own thing :/

Or why can't they just make that HyoYul/SHY RnB/dance/EDM subunit?????

i think one of the SHY girls said it's never going to happen at a concert or smth once? tbh even tho i have been a fan for years, i don't really care for a SHY subunit... i guess it's maybe because i never really was into the SHY girls to begin with. idk i just don't know how feasible it'd be, bc if they did go for it, who would do vocals?

and on the promotion note, sm would be super slack /if/ it did even happen :/ i mean tiffany and taeyeon's why solos were messy

[kamoteatmani.livejournal.com]

The only reason why I thought Taeyeon's last solo was messy was bec of it coinciding with her concert which is why she barely promoted on music shows.

By quality of Taeny's solos I meant music-wise! I understand the promos for their solos were a little.. weird to say the least but personally I just think they timed their debut/comebacks really bad.

That SHY subunit would've been doable if they did hard EDM/dance/a genre were their voices wouldn't be the main highlight of the song. SM has been in an EDM phase anyway so.. it would've been good timing. Plus they could've made their debut in a way that their promos would be more variety guestings which the three really excel at. Hyoyeon is actually a good singer (case in point their YHY performance of Goodbye) so she could probably pull off main vocals but since it's confirmed that it's never happening.. sigh.

(Also I think they confirmed it never happening in.. I think Weekly Idol? But they said it in one of their variety show guestings back while they were promoting LionHeart. I'm a fan of SHY in variety cuz they're always the funniest)

yeah that's the same reason I thought taeyeons solo was messy, it felt too rushed!

as for SHY, i think it won't happen, although a station release could perhaps be possible? who knows!
