I’m sure most of us, if not all, has noticed Tiff’s absence for some performances and what not. Well according to this source, it might be true that Tiffany’s grandpa did pass away.
Well I guess Fany being in the States attending her grandfather’s funeral is true, according to snsdchina.
Apparently a group of fans from snsdchina went to Korea and visited Taeng’s parents’ eye-glasses shop in chunju(全州). They even got a chance to have dinner with Taeng’s parents and Haeyeon (Taeng’s sister).<<<I know they are incredibly lucky LOL
Here’s part of what Taeng’s father told them. Fany’s grandfather passed away a while ago and Fanu was very upset about that. She then left South Korea on last Thursday to attend his funeral. Arriving the States on Friday, she had to leave on the same day. (@^%#%LSM!!!!)
Well, i guess that is because she had to attend Mu Core…poor Fany ><!!!He also mentioned that Fany is now calling them umma and abba….as well as Taeng, and would treat them as her own parents. He told them that Fany would tell them how hard the training was and so, and would always want a hug from them,especially Taeng’s mum.

My condolences go out to Tiff and her family, may they get through this rough time. 
And wait, she left the same day as she arrived? That sounds kind of rough on her, but I guess its cause of her schedules and its hard to just drop work.
And since SMTown Concert was postponed, according to tamatron, Yuri headed off to visit her brother at the military camp. Hopefully the girls are off doing something relaxing and just enoying the day off 🙂
SNSD Korean 
wow so that’s like a 13 hour plane ride back to cali, then forced on a 13 hour plane ride back..ish?
thats horrible. she shoulda been allowed to stay.
i know and holy cow O_O she didn’t even look tired at ALL at mucore, and super hyped and cute during MC duties!
awww. i hope fany and her family are alright. it’s a good thing the girls have some time to relax after their TMYW promotions.
but i don’t think Taengoo’s family should have been gossiping with fans about what’s going on with the girls when no one has even released an official statement about Fany’s absence yet.
Hmm I wouldn’t say it as gossipping so much since we do know that Taeng’s parents love Tiff to pieces, they probably just wanted to be nice and answer the fans questions.
yeah. I understand that. but I don’t think they should have been talking about Fany’s family situation. that’s something personal.
This may be a cultural disagreement. I’m with the Boss. To us, it’s not so “personal” if it’s public knowledge — even if it’s not widespread. And Tiffany is American. The idea that there’s a veil of secrecy around the death of her grandfather might be puzzling to her — and I bet she’d want people to have some inkling of the cause of her disappearance.
The story related in the article is a bit puzzling. It says that these were “fans”. Yet, somehow they got invited to dinner? Interesting. They may have been more important than is revealed in the article.
gotta give my Condolences to tiffany and her family.
wow…thats cold of sme…but i guess she has work…my Condolences to tifanny and family
I can understand her situation because I’ve gone through that before. And, being the only member whose immediate family resides abroad is also another test for her.
Now I understand why she regards so closely to her fellow members’ parents. Such warm family they are.
And you know one reason why she stands out to me? It’s the fact that she has gone through so much of emotional pain boldly.
:[ awww.
i really hope she’s okay<3
and geez i didn't expect her to come back that fast.
too hard on her.
& x] they got to eat dinner with taeng's fambam? jealousss. seems like taeng's parents are wickeeed cool hehe. the name of her sister is so cutee, haeyeon — taeyeon<3
Wow, Tiff is so emotionally strong. She takes on the hardships head on and manages to put on a big, bright smile to warm our hearts. Seriously, kudos to you, Tiffany.
Good to know that she’s got people all around who love and care about her so much. Taeng’s parents are amazing people.
yeah i heard about fany’s grandfather’s funeral as well, from my friend who is friend’s with tiffany.
my condolences to tiffany and her family.
This makes me feel 😦
Aw Fany….T.T She sure is a tough girl.
Glad that she has 2nd family in Korea which is SNSD.
Good that Taeng’s parents take good care of Fany.
TaeNy <333
