Here is the continuation to the first part of the interview with MAMATAENG, make sure you do some ab/mouth stretches before you continue reading because your stomach will hurt from laughing and smiling too much.
M: What is your favorite childhood memory or moment of TaeYeon?
TM: I have three children but TaeYeon is the one who acts REALLY cute. When she was a baby she’d put ANYTHING on her head.
M: Anything? Like what?
TM: ANYTHING. Hats, panties, trash can lids…
M: Hahaha.
TM: But that’s how I also learned she doesn’t like help. She’s VERY independent. If I told her to hurry up because she’d be late for school, she’d still take her time to try and tie her shoes by herself rather than get help.
M: Whose personality does she take more after? Yours or your husband?
TM: ONE HUNDRED PERCENT MOM. Style, thinking, talking, everything. The girls (SNSD) would sometimes ask her: “Why’d you become so much like your mom?”
M: ^^ Were you or your husband a singer in your younger days?
TM: When her dad was in college he was a singer in a band. And also when he was in the army, his army job was to be a performer. He also played guitar.
M: What kind of music did he sing?
TM: Anything that was popular.
M: Did he help TaeYeon with the guitar for her musical?
TM: Ahhh, no.
M: If TaeYeon could do “We Got Married” again instead of Jung Hyung Dong who would you like her husband to be?
TM: Mmm, Kang Dong Won because TaeYeon likes him?
-2 Korean fangirls: He called her on her last radio show.
TM: WHAT?! REALLY???!
–2 Korean fangirls/Me: Yes, hahaha. ^^
TM: Oh, I didn’t know that! Hmmm..
-2 Korean fan girls: How was it like for TaeYeon to be married to him (Jung Hyung Dong)?
TM: It was whatever.
-2 Korean fangirls/Me: Hahaha.
M: I know Korean culture does Western weddings sometimes, if you could choose ONE SNSD member to be TaeYeon’s maid of honor who would it be?
TM: All of them, no choosing one.*
*When Koreans do a Western wedding, there usually aren’t bridesmaids/groomsmen. Either MamaTaeng misunderstood my question or she’s really clever at avoiding the answer
M: Have TaeYeon’s sleeping habits ever scared you/the family?
TM: I was so surprised when I heard it because she tends to say long words. It’s true what SNSD says on broadcasts about her sleeping habits. TaeYeon’s been doing it ever since she was a kid.
M: What’s your proudest moment as a mother of SNSD’s leader?
TM: Whenever TaeYeon sings and people accept her.
M: What are 3 things you love most about your daughter? Any dislikes?
TM: 1) When she’s in front of a lot of people she doesn’t talk much but one-on-one she’s very giving,
2) heart of gold,
3) EVERYTHING.
Hmmm, things she needs to fix. Well she’s not expressive, she’s very passive. Oh, what am I saying? I can’t really say because TaeYeon listens well!
M: What’s your opinion of each SNSD member as Tae’s friend?
TM: They’re all like sisters, very supportive and strong.*
*I could tell Tae’s mother was starting to get tired so I hurried (I’m sorry for taking so much time! >_<)
M: Out of all the girls’ songs, which 3 are your favorite?
TM: 1) “If” -TaeYeon 2) Athena’s new OST “I Love You” – TaeYeon 3) Run Devil Run – SNSD
M: Do you currently have any worries about your daughter?
TM: Always. When people congratulate her I’m always worried. TaeYeon tried to go to Lotte Department Store one time all wrapped up thinking no one would recognize her… NOPE! They did instantly so whenever she comes to Jeonju now she just stays at home hahaha
M: When the girls promoted “Dear Mom” what were your feelings on it?
TM: That song… in the broadcast it showed our picture and I thought of all the training and crying that she did when she was younger and I know that she cried a lot during the recording…
When I heard the lyric ” ‘my mom’s worried voice asked if i’ve eaten,’ ” I thought the lyrics were so truthful and so much like the conversations we have. I cried during that part.
M: :[ Well if you, TaeYeon and your family could go anywhere for vacation where would you go?
TM: England or Maldives.
M: Maldives?
TM: Yes, the island country that’s sinking? TaeYeon says she wants to see it.
M: Ahh, TaeYeon would. ^^ Who is the craziest fan you’ve met (at Eyebis Glasses Shop)?
TM: It’s rare. The fans that have manners will come but the crazies don’t come inside.
M: What’s your favorite SNSD dance? Can you show us?
TM: Dance?! Oh no~ I can’t! But I LOVE the “Oh!” dance.
M: Are there any upcoming activities that S<3nes should look out for?
TM: Not sure. Maybe they are getting ready for a new album or vacation after January.
M: How often do they get vacation?
TM: Hmm, ten days, twice a year? Even after SNSD is done with their group activities they still have individual activities.
M: Oh no! Please tell them their fans want them to get rest <:\ What’s TaeYeon’s biggest dream?
TM: In 20 years, she wants to be the longest living singer who can still sing live well. She needs to do better though!*
*mother’s concern
M: Those were all my questions, thank you SO MUCH for the interview.
TM: *sarcastically* …Wow that was long. :]
M: AHHH! I’M SORRY I’M SORRY!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
———-
Please look forward to our early holiday podcast, where I’ll give the inside scoop of exactly what happened when I met her mother the first time (pretty funny story), more thoughts on TaeYeon’s parents’ shop, and the interview itself.
Special thank you to my friend Julie who accompanied me and did all the translating between myself and TaeYeon’s lovely mother, check her blog for a word or two on our interesting adventure: http://foodfashionjulie.blogspot.com/
And a 배꼽인사 for you MAMATAENG Kim, for not only visiting our site but for giving us your daughter who is a beautiful person inside and out. ❤

LOL! Dorky Taeng putting things on top of her head. She’s been dorky since forever then
By kiddokiddie on 2010/12/16 at 2:46 pm
Mama Taeng is so funny >.< 🙂
By nadianaeunhyuk on 2010/12/16 at 2:47 pm
HAHA!! You were absolutely right about laughing and smiling excessively. 🙂
Mama Taengs’ answer to your first question is already hilarious !
I’d LOVE to see Tae Yeon acting cute when she was a baby, putting stuff on her head. Trash can lids?! This one cracked me up quite a bit.
Thanks again!! Looking forward to the podcast.
Just FYI, I don’t even knows whats a podcast.
By Kelvin on 2010/12/16 at 2:47 pm
lol~ taeyeon’s mom sounds fun~ lol~
thanks!
By dashley on 2010/12/16 at 2:49 pm
TaeTae puts panties on her head when she was a baby, yeah, early signs of being a byuntae. i just wonder who puts trash can lids on a baby’s crib? XD this part is really funny but . . .
“When I heard the lyric ” ‘my mom’s worried voice asked if i’ve eaten,’ ” I thought the lyrics were so truthful and so much like the conversations we have. I cried during that part.” – THIS . . . well idk T_T
thanks!!! oh yeah, lucky you ^^

Thank You for the early Christmas Gift : )

M: How often do they get vacation?
TM: Hmm, ten days, twice a year? Even after SNSD is done with their group activities they still have individual activities.
Wow, I didn’t think their vacation time was that short o.0

By LadyIgraine on 2010/12/16 at 5:34 pm
omigosh! I loved this interview, thank you Mama Taeng, Mae, Julie, & anyone else involved. This was awesome 🙂
and if Kang Dong Won was Taengoo’s husband in WGM, I’m sure she would have been spazzing the entire time lol ^^
By SNSD are my 9 genies on 2010/12/16 at 6:49 pm
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Mae ; that was EXCELLENT interview that you had conducted, together with Julie 🙂 🙂 😀 !!! LOVE the revelations on Taengoo early “headgear fetish” 😀 !!! Have to agree with Taeng’s mum on the validity of the “Dear Mom” lyrics; I had (and still have) a “lump” in my throat each time I listen to the song; a very truthful rendition of a mum’s love for her child/children ;). A BIG “Thank You” also to Taeyeon’s Mum for agreeing to do the interview ! Looking forward to the podcast now 😀 .
By Kenneth on 2010/12/16 at 8:32 pm

By Starrywilder on 2010/12/17 at 12:16 am
I don’t really have a lot to say, but thanks for the interview, Mae.
Neither was it too short nor elongated, the questions were appropriate and all in all, it was great.
Can’t wait for future activities!

NEW ALBUM?!
By faithsone on 2010/12/19 at 11:27 am
Sexcellent. Without the ‘s’.
I had no idea about this interview, but good on you and I’m sure it was well-deserved. Can we see the cool pair of glasses you got? (Are they the ones on Taeng seen in the first part?)
Next you could visit Taeng’s brother in the army. Doesn’t Yul have a brother as well? Haha, just don’t stick your nose into too many places. They might smell bad…
It’s good to see you’re settling down in South Korea well. Stay safe, uh… would you resent me calling you ‘kid’?
By Deft-Monkey on 2010/12/20 at 5:15 pm
[…] has a pure heart or you can describe her as having a heart of gold like MAMA TAENG had before in an exclusive interview. Not only is Taeyeon caring, especially toward her […]
