2020년 3월 9일 저에게 많은 축하와 위로를 해주신 모든 분들께 깊은 감사의 인사를 전하고 싶습니다. 숫자로 가늠할 수 없을 만큼의 많은 분들이 저에게 닿았고 저를 따뜻하게 안아주시고 토닥여 주셨어요. 저는 깊은 사랑과 따뜻한 위로를 안은 채 앞으로도 잘 살아가겠습니다. 먼 걸음 한 번에 달려와주신 분들, 그리고 멀리서도 정성껏 진심으로 마음 전해주신 분들.. 감사한 분들께 일일이 다 찾아뵙고 인사드리지 못하는 점 깊은 양해부탁드려요. 저를 비롯한 우리 가족들에게 3월 9일은 정말 잊지 못할 날이 될 것 같습니다. 저희 아빠는 제가 어렸을 적 음악을 시작한 첫 날 부터 함께 해 주셨어요. 먼저 나서서 차에 시동을 걸어놓으시고 딸을 위해 그렇게 움직이셨어요. 지금도 어디선가 우리 모두를 위해 먼저 움직이고 계실 거예요. 좋은 곳에서 내려다 보시며 우리를 지켜주고 계실거라 믿어요. 마지막으로 함께 걱정해주시고 최선을 다 해 주신 모든 분들께 감사드리고 아빠! 저 태연이가 정말 많이 사랑해요👨‍👧💜

I would like to express my deep gratitude to everyone who sent me messages, both congratulating me [on my birthday] and comforting me [about my father’s passing] on March 9, 2020.

So many people reached out to me, embraced me warmly, and comforted me. With the deep love and comfort, I will continue to live well.

To those people who came to me right away and to those people who sent their sincerity from far away… I would like to ask for your understanding as I am unable to reach out to each and every person to thank you.

For both my family and myself, March 9 will be a day that we will be unable to forget.

My father has been with me every since the first day I started in music when I was young. He would turn on the car ignition before I even got in the car, and he would always be moving for his daughter. Even now, I’m sure he is still moving, one step ahead of all of us. I believe he is looking over us from a good place, and watching over us.

Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has been worried about us, and tried their best for us. And Dad! Taeyeon loves you so much.

Taeyeon’s father passed away on March 9 due to a heart attack. Due to his passing, SM Entertainment postponed the release of Taeyeon’s single “HAPPY”, which was slated to be released on March 9 in conjunction with her birthday.
