“Anyway, what kind of music have you been listening to lately?”
“I guess I’ll start with ‘Bansanka’ (by TAEYEON) then put on ‘Lemonade’ (by aespa) and do the cleaning with full-on fighting spirit”
“Ahㅋㅋㅋㅋ I guess I’ll have to go to YouTube to listen to ‘A Night When Stars Pour Down’ (by HYORISOO). D-d-d-d-d-dance. Yeah, that’ll definitely get me all fired up”
“Oh, so many people recommended ‘Lemon Tang’ (by Hearts2Hearts), so I’m listening to it right now. Turns out it’s a song by Kenzie-unnie!”
“But then ‘Suddenly’ (by I.O.I) playing on…. Seems like it’s going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day…….
This is one of those songs, you listen to it once, and then even when you’re lying in bed trying to sleep, all of a sudden your brain goes ‘Gapjagi’🫢🤣”
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When lying down trying to sleep, it goes ‘Gapjagi’……..”
as time passes by, i realized that not every unanswered question needs an answer for me to move forward. for years, i tried to understand what really happened on 930, but eventually i realized i was asking the wrong question.
instead of trying to figure out who was right or wrong, i started asking myself: what kind of people have taeyeon and jessica consistently shown themselves to be over the years? and do they really deserve the amount of hatred they've received over a situation whose full truth we may never know?
asking those questions changed my perspective far more than any 930 debate ever could. i used to dislike jessica because of everything i'd heard, but after taking the time to learn more for myself, i ended up genuinely respecting and admiring her while never loving taeyeon any less.
that's when i realized i didn't want one unanswered chapter to define how i see either of them. i'd rather support them, appreciate them, and continue learning from them than spend years chasing an answer we may never have.
that's also why i wrote my articles. they were never meant to prove any theory or solve 930. they're simply a reflection of my journey, from only knowing taeyeon to eventually admiring jessica as well – and the many valuable lessons i found through both of them.
looking back, i'm grateful my perspective changed. not because i found all the answers, but because i learned to see people beyond the rumors. perhaps the greatest lesson wasn't discovering what really happened on 930 but realizing that empathy, understanding, and appreciation don't depend on having all the answers.
in the end, those lessons shaped my perspective far more than the rumors ever did. i'd rather let what taeyeon and jessica have consistently shown through their words, actions, and the way they've lived over the years define how i see them, rather than let one unanswered chapter define them forever.
i came across this interesting post on threads:

[disclaimer: i'm not trying to fuel any shipping. i'm just connecting way too many dots because a bunch of things suspiciously seem to fit together. 😭 so please don't ask me whether your ship is real or not, because i don't know, and i don't want to know either.] 😭🙏

this got me thinking... what if one of the reasons taeyeon and jessica never debuted as a subunit was because they were actually a couple? i also noticed someone in the replies mentioned them too, so i guess i'm not the only one who's had this thought.
of course, this is nothing more than speculation, but considering how incredible their vocal chemistry has always been, i've always found it a little surprising that SM never debuted them as a unit.
even years after jessica left, i've still seen many people say they wished SM had debuted them as a subunit because their voices complemented each other so well, and many believed it could have been hugely successful both artistically and commercially.
"a wonderful sone pilgrimage, and i even got to see oppa."

someone on weibo shared her sone pilgrimage.
she visited eyebis and got to meet taeyeon's brother, jiwoong.
this part of the mv where the girl is checking if the other one has a fever... inevitable but it reminded me of when jessica kept checking taeyeon to see if she was feeling well or had a fever
the mv portrays the relationship between two girls.minami plays someone who has built a wall around her heart while woni took on the role of the character approaching & comforting her
taeyeon chooses her projects well and her voice makes everything better
i remember when people were so surprised the first time jessica signed snsd albums after leaving.
now it's become something we don't think twice about anymore, and i think that's a good thing. seeing her smile so comfortably while doing it just makes me happy.
