Girls' Generation's Taeyeon confessed that she once ran away as a trainee due to the difficulty of dieting.
On the September 1 broadcast of tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block', Girls' Generation made a group guest appearance. Here, Taeyeon revealed a story from back in her trainee days. When asked if she ever thought about giving up before debuting as a singer, she stated, "I wanted someone to hold onto me. I didn't want to let go of everything. I suddenly remembered this, but back then, I was chubbier than the others. Dieting was so difficult. I had to sing, but they would tell me that my body had to be skinny too. But [losing weight] didn't happen easily. As a result, I got so angry and frustrated that I went back to my home."
Fellow member Seohyun added, "During the beginning of our debut days, our managers didn't let us eat because we had to diet. So I remember we hid and ate chocolate."
This makes me remember that one time when Seulgi and Wendy were eating ice cream, but their manager was watching closely. So Taeyeon told the manager to let them eat what they want for a day. She knew very well what it was like (source: https://twitter.com/haseulgie/...)
