On December 23, Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon appeared on a TV program and shared an episode about the secret relationship she had, breaking the agency’s no-dating policy.
Hyoyeon expressed her frustration at the agency’s strict management at the time.
Even if I wanted to go out for a burger, they wouldn’t let me. I paid it myself, so as long as I didn’t get caught, it was fine.
— Hyoyeon
Regarding the dating ban, she revealed her rebellious side, “If you tell me not to date, I’ll desperately want to.”
She also shared her views on dating at the time.
My agency told me not to date, but if someone was caught dating and was scolded for it, I thought it was okay to date. So I still did everything I wanted to do.
— Hyoyeon
Despite the curfew, she sneaked out of her dorm to meet her boyfriend at the time.
I wanted to meet my boyfriend, so I stayed up until 3 AM and sneaked out at 4 AM. The only place I could go was the Han River, so I went there.
— Hyoyeon
She also shared an interesting story about the celebrity dating scene at the time.
I heard that if you wear a bucket hat or cap by the Han River, you’re a celebrity. If I met someone wearing a bucket hat, we would both turn around and walk away.
— Hyoyeon
Meanwhile, she also recently shared her frustration regarding her visuals.
