Our Brighter than Mushrooms, Tiffany, made a confession that she strongly dislikes people that call her by her Korean name!
Tiffany appeared on MBC’s ‘Joo Byung Jin Talk Concert’ broadcast on May 3rd. Members from TVXQ, SuperJunior were also on the show and gathered together to share some stories and secrets about themselves.
During the introduction from each of the members, Super Junior’s Leeteuk out of the blue asked Tiffany why she didn’t like being called by her real name, ‘Hwang MiYoung’. The SNSD member answered, “Because my friends call me ‘Hwang MiYeok’!” (Miyeok = Korean for Seaweed)
She continued, “They even made a rap song titled Hwang Miyuck and sing it every time they saw me!”, causing the guests to burst into laughter.
Personally I don’t think ‘Hwang MiYoung, Hwang MiYeok or Hwang Miyuck’ sounds too bad kekekek! However what I do want to hear is the rap song her friends made up! haha B). What do you guys think?

Cheers !

I think that rap video needs to be uploaded ^^ ME WANT TO SEE *cough sorry for that caveman outburst* but every possible name you could call her would only make me love her more.
i think tiffany is a really good name cute and classy
noone likes to be harassed for there names, i guess
but i like (japanese) sea weed too it is real tasty 😆
Awesome story. Hilarious. How does our mushroom jewel get picked on so much???
I wonder which “friends” she’s referring to, in the US or in Korea. I really don’t have any idea if she even keeps up with her US friends from pre-debut days. And, are these friends the other SNSD members? It seems strange to refer to them as “friends” when typically I’ve heard “members” when one refers to the other.
Thanks for the post FunkyFlapjacks. You’re fitting right in and batting a thousand… I mean, you’re hitting for the century, pip pip and all that English stuff.
If she hates it, please don’t call her that sones 🙂
Reblogged this on multitranle.
Well, it’s a shame, ’cause Tiffany and I share a character in our name.
“Mi” in Hanja is 美, which is part of my Chinese name.
haha! That’s really funny from you Fany! but seriously, she just said that she strongly dislikes people that call her by her Korean name then, how about her TaeTae? xD you hate her? LOL
