Park Hyo-shin Defends Tae-yeon’s Singing

Singers Park Hyo-shin and Girls Generation’s Tae-yeon recently sang his classic hit “Snow Flower” and, well, Tae-yeon didn’t sound that great.

All eyes were on Tae-yeon and Park Hyo-shin three days ago when the two were set to sing the duet “Snow Flower” from the 2004 KBS drama series “I’m Sorry I Love You” at the Seoul International Drama Awards. As a result, Tae-yeon has come under some harsh criticism for her singing skills or lack of.

Although she wasn’t off pitch, her voice never cracked and she didn’t forget any lines, netizens were not impressed. Netizens have speculated that Tae-yeon might have been sick.

So what went wrong?

In her defense, Park Hyo-shin (who sounded incredible by the way) has stood behind his singing partner. On his Cyworld homepage today, the singer wrote that he was “very distressed by comments” regarding the performance:

"At that age, it is difficult to have the kind of emotion Taeyeon has when she sings. In fact, it is even harder to express that emotion… She shows another side of her when with other Girls’ Generation members. Tae-yeon’s hard work and the tears she had shed while pursuing her dreams has allowed her to be a faultless singer. I would like to say that I look at her as a sunbae and as a fellow singer.”

It’s quite well known that “Snow Flower” was inspired by the Japanese song “Yuki No Hana” by Mika Nakashima.
