Girls' Generation's Taeyeon has answered many loaded questions on Instagram.

On the night of June 16, Taeyeon took to Instagram to communicate with her followers by receiving questions through her Stories. This impromptus Q&A session began with rather ordinary questions such as "did you watch the soccer game yesterday?" or "have you been well?", to which Taeyeon only responded with simple "no"s.

Followers who showed concern for her curt answers asked, "reason for your profile pic disappearing all of a sudden T_T". To this inquiry, Taeyeon replied, "it was getting noisy".

More questioned followed up, and Taeyeon soon responded to almost 30 questions, all uploading them against a black background.

People can be so cruel on the internet, hiding behind their screens. Before you post something, take a second to realise if it might be hurtful for the other person. Taeyeon always gets so much hate for literally breathing, it’s insane. I hope she gets well soon.

depression again? like more than 400 million ppl in the world suffer depression but many of them don't have money to pay their treatment. Don't hate me but is taeyeon saying the true? or is it another new strategy to get attention to gain some popularity again? or get someone's attention specifically then to gain popularity? since lately her solo career is in fast decline, but she loves the popularity, she is a woman of 31 yrs OLD but always acts like an upset self-important egotist teen who seeks attention and compassion....+
