Girls' Generation's TaeYeon is walking legend among K-Pop idols. While she first started off as a member and leader of iconic girl group Girls' Generation, she went above and beyond, leaving her mark as a celebrated soloist. Since she's been in the industry for so long, she's naturally done more than idol work.

TaeYeon has hosted radio shows, become a fixed cast member on "Amazing Saturday", and even been the host of several competition programs. And speaking of her hosting/MC duties, it seems she's about to head on a new venture with her very own web variety series, "Taeng-Forest". Through the show, she receives various concerns and worries from fans, then provides sincere, heartfelt advice. While the first episode felt like a "one and done" type of show, due to the warm response, TaeYeon and her team brought it back for a regular series.

Now, while at its core, "Taeng-Forest" is a talk show web variety, however, it offers a bit more comfort and depth. Among the many web varieties currently on air, TaeYeon's is a much needed splash of variety and strength.

 

A Concept Unexplored

Many web varieties out there focus on the celebrity, whether it's the host or invited guest. It's certainly nice to have these programs where we can learn more about our favorite star. However, "Taeng-Forest", allows its viewers to become active participants by sending in their worries and concerns. There was a program called "Hello Counselor"  that's similar to the web variety, but unfortunately ended prior to 2020. Fans of the show will be glad to see another version pop and grace their media feeds.

 

An Opportunity For Much Needed Healing

While not all fan concerns will be addressed by TaeYeon and her lovely guests, the advice they provide is still very real and sincere. You might not be able to relate entirely, but there are parts that feel innately relevant no matter where you are in life. From work-life balance to inviting new experiences, "Taeng-Forever" covers a variety of different topics, and will certainly continue to do so. For those looking for a bit of encouragement and strength, the web variety will serve as the perfect place to find just that.

 

The Web Variety Scene Now

The Korean web variety scene is very much talk show-centric, pulling on the experiences and stories of various celebrities. Retaining this core component, they then start to tweak and change a few aspects to create multiple versions of a similar idea. And while they might appear the same, they continue to bring in the numbers and obtain up to a million views from audiences worldwide.

In essence, "Taeng-Forest" doesn't stray away from this tried and true formula. But it is different enough to make it stand out among the many sulbang's that are taking over in popularity across the internet. In addition, the very nature of TaeYeon makes it a much needed safe haven for introverts. She provides a contrast between hosts of shows like "Salon Drip 2" and "XYOB" by being her sweet, introverted self. Her presence is enough to set the tone of "Taeng-Forest", helping it to become like a piece of home that you return to at the end of every day.

The web variety program just became a regular series, but we're certainly excited to see how TaeYeon pilots it while also providing much needed help to those in need.

Have you watched "Taeng-Forest"? What kind of advice would you want from TaeYeon?

One of the most popular English slangs used by the MZ generation is "slay". You must have heard it on TikTok, Instagram, all over any form of social media and recently, even in TV shows and films! It has become so popular that it is better known by its new "slang" meaning rather than its real meaning. In this article, we will teach you how to say "slay" in Korean.

One of the most fun and entertaining parts of learning a new language is getting to know all the slangs that come with it. At the same time, it is natural to want to say slangs you already know in the new language.

"Slay" originally used to mean "to kill" but now, it is a compliment, a way to say that someone or something has done something extraordinarily well.

So, if you are in Korea or speaking to Korean people and want to say "slay", here's how you can express it.

The Korean version of "slay" is "찢었다".

"찢었다" (chijyeotda) means "to tear" and it is used in a similar way as "slay" is used in English. It is informal.

You can use "찢었다" in a sentence as follows:

리사 무대를 찢었다.

Lisa mudae-reul chijyeotda.

Lisa slayed the performance.
