Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon disliked promoting 'Kissing You' so much she 'wanted to smash all the candies'

Hyoyeon, a member of the iconic K-pop group Girls' Generation, has revealed her strong aversion to promoting the group's hit song 'Kissing You.' During a recent appearance on the MBC variety show 'What Do You Play?', Hyoyeon confessed that her dislike for the song's promotions was so intense that she "wanted to smash all the candies."

The song 'Kissing You,' released in 2008, was a major hit for Girls' Generation, known for its catchy melody and playful concept, which included props like candy. However, Hyoyeon's candid admission suggests the experience of promoting the song was far from enjoyable for her.

Her comments came as host Yoo Jae-suk was in the process of casting singers for the OST of a short-form drama season 2. Yoo Jae-suk mentioned that he had recently revisited Girls' Generation's past performances after watching the web variety show 'Hyori's Homestay,' which seemingly triggered Hyoyeon's memory and her honest reflection on the 'Kissing You' era.

While the exact reasons for Hyoyeon's discomfort were not detailed, her statement has sparked discussion among fans about the pressures and potential downsides of intense idol promotion schedules in the K-pop industry. Despite her personal feelings about the song, 'Kissing You' remains a beloved track in Girls' Generation's discography.
