For those who haven't read this heart-warming story about Taeyeon and her dad. The president of SM Academy Lee Solim, was asked who was her most memorable student over the years. “To answer who was the most memorable student, SNSD Taeyeon was the most memorable. When Taeyeon was in 2nd year of middle school, she showed up holding her dad’s hand. Considering she’s from Jeonju and in middle school she was too young, and she had to be accompanied by her dad. Her dad ran an eyeglasses shop and he told me this. He does not plan to have her become an entertainer or a singer, he knew very well how difficult that was. And it would be tiring for him to drive her up here each Sunday so he told me to persuade her to give up if I thought she had no basic talent and it wouldn’t work out for her. So I told him ‘Mr Kim, then we shall check out her singing’. And she sang, and well, she wasn’t that good like she is now. But her voice was clean. If she works hard she can do well, that’s what I felt. I asked Taeyeon there and she said she practices alone by singing along to songs on her computer. The child was too young I wasn’t sure how to set up her practice routines. But I asked her if she can work hard and she replied that she can work hard. So I told her dad ‘It may be hard for you but the child loves to sing, and even if I make her quit here she will continue on her own. She has gleaming eyes, she has a good voice why don’t we let her practice here for six months or a year and see how it goes.’ So her dad brought her from Jeonju every Sunday and he waited until the evening while she received the lessons then took her home. He labored liked that for a year.”

IU and Taeyeon are literally the only female artist that could make me feel their music, that makes me actually connected to them. This Christmas is a very beautiful song. Taeyeon’s voice is just so angel like, and pure.The music video has is a strong message and I’m glad she made this because it made me tear up. These women are talented and are true to themselves, which is why I love them

i love how the story portrayed here is about family--SM could've taken the easy route and depicted a romantic boyxgirl love story, but instead they stayed true to the spirit of Christmas: the gathering of ones you love; your family.

i came here after hearing that her dad passed away, may he rest in peace, you rising such a great woman, dad.

I remember Tiffany, on how her dad had to let her go on such a young age to pursue her dreams in Korea, and now she's back in LA and will probably be celebrating Christmas with her Dad 😭

I really... really wanna go home and hug my parents now, thank you for your amazing voice, Taeyeon...

*SNSD's VOCAL QUEEN IS SAVING THIS CHRISTMAS WITH ALL-KILL ON REAL-TIME CHART. ONLY QUEEN COULD MAKE IT POSSIBLE AND SHE IS TAEYEON. I AM NEVER BORED TO LISTEN TO HER ANGELIC VOICE.*

come here again after i knew that Liz, IVE's member that just debut in 1st Dec was actually the pretty girl that appeared in this Taeyeon's mv

This MV is so touching The dad's smile at the end gives me all the feels

kim taeyeon never failed to move me when she's singing. her voice is so special. it's soothing, relaxing, sweet and powerful at the same time. she's best with conveying emotions. i respect and love her so much!

That girl in the video represents me. As I grew a bit older, I became distant with people and couldn't trust much people. My wish is that, every sones or other fandom out there, have a Merry Christmas!

That's the reason why Liz choose TaeYeon to be her role model & fav Artist.. TaeYeon Always collecting fresh juniors :D

OMG GUYSS???? QUEEN TAEYEON IS FKING #1 ON MELON REAL-TIME CHART! There are so many strong competitors like Twice etc but Taeyeon is such a legend!

THE QUEEN IS #1 ON ALL THE CHARTS, can we just appreciate how amazing and legendary Taeyeon is for a million years

mad respect to taeyeon. without her, liz wouldn’t have wanted to become an idol. so thank you taeyeon, for inspiring kim jiwon to become an idol like you. you are an amazing role model to many idols and you will continue to be one for many years to come.

This is so unfair...my heart breaks for Taeyeon. Losing her dad on her own birthday... Life, please be kinder to her...please.

I'm so happy that she finally reached a point in her career where she could sing and promote songs she genuinely like.. That's when you know a certain person or group have reached a point beyond success and now are called, legends. My queen is back and I'm so blessed, this is definitely the best early christmas present ever.

*Kim TaeYeon = a true goddess*

so emotionally felt. as expected from taeng. as we grow up,some tend to grow further frm their dads and this is so clearly depicted in the mv. taengs mv is always straight and clear, tells u everything in one look unlike some other kpop mv. always proud of her for trying something new

I know it isn't Christmas, but this music video kinda portrays Taeyeon and her dad. I hope she's okay. He's in a peaceful place now. #StayStrongKimTaeyeon

I cried watching this halfway, the emotions taeyeon always puts in her voice is amazing and it just made me emotional what a beautiful song...

my dad died when I was 3 so I have no memories of him but I used to wish for him to celebrate with me every birthday which is december until I stopped doing so at 19. I had accepted him to be in heaven but I still cry whenever I think of him, as I was jealous with all my friends who has a father.. lets treasure them while they are with us. queen taengoo saranghae #ChristmasBirthdayFeels #Taeyeon #AngelicVoice

her voice is so perfect :):

Who would have thought that THAT girl who acted in an MV of a main vocalist, be a main vocalist herself. ✨

*the emotions that she puts in her voice is just heavenly*

This made me cry because sadly I don't have my parents now. And because of that I'm used not to celebrate Christmas. So be grateful that you have your parents we should never forget them because at the end of the day they are still the one who will love and understand us. BUT REALLY TAEYEON NEVER FAILED TO MAKE ME CRY. GOOO TAE LOVE YOU❤️😘

A COMEBACK WITH ZERO PROMOTION FROM SM BUT QUEEN TAEYEON IS SLAYING THE CHARTS ALREADY

Todays is taeyeon's birthday and she lost her dad. I cant believe i just greeted her on her bday then the news came up. From 'happy birthday taeyeon' to 'condolence taeyeon'. Im just so sorry ☹️

I love how the video isnt about a couple but about a daughter and her father. Love family♥

I’m so happy I’m Taeyeon’s fan. Her voice is angelic. Her music can make you happy even if you had a bad day. She’s not just an idol. But a true artist. I’m proud to be her fan and even 20, 30, 40, 50... years from now I will still have her albums and listen to her sings. Her songs are timeless ❤️

i've watched this several times already but everytime I see the scene with the falling scarf reflection I'm just getting my eyes all watery

this hits different after she lost her father. thank you Mr Kim for raising beautiful and strong daughter like Taeyeon. Taeyeon inspired me a lot.

not to be that "dramatic girl" but this MV hits me so hrd... i dont understand anything but seeing the girl with her father made me cry... i am a daughter of a Military Officer (Army to be exact) i was in my 2nd grade when he left us because our government sent them to the mountains to fight the rebels and neutralize them... thats the time war broke out on our country... the day my dad left us my mom and i were on our stairs i was crying on her lap asking her if my dad can make it and will he be able to come home alive..my mom just pat my head comforting me..at the age of 7 im trying to take it all in and understand everything... when he get to the mountains we barely speak to him.. we almost dont speak to him..one day while my mom and i watching the news WE SAW IT... MY DAD'S TROOP GOT AMBUSHED we saw his comrade lying on the ground DEAD some are injured we cant find my dad... they are interviewing one of the officer atm... we tried to call my dad but we cant reach him... i cried and cried..i shouted to let out the pain and nervousness i felt at that time... we failed to reach my dad... i didnt sleep that night thinking for my dad and praying that he is still alive...the next day their command send us message that my dad is okay and we dont need to stress ourselves however we havent talk to him... when the tension subside my dad reach us out and told us that he is ok..he luckily survive the ambush... i grew up on pain..sorrow... afraid that anytime i can lose my dad... one thing i hate to hear the most is gunfire.. bomb explosion... people panicking and shouting coz ive heard everytime when my dad call us during his break time we were laughing coz he made some gag joke then suddenly we geard gun fire and bomb explosion..that was one of the most terrifying day for me... every night i am crying for my dad's sacurity..that is healthy and safe..that he's eating his meals... for 10 LONG YEARS I ENDURED THAT... my dad can make home for xmas and new year.. so basically while everyone is celebrating xmas im on my room wishing my dad a merry xmas and his security... every new year while everyone is lighting their firecrackers i wish that my dad have a peaceful night and that he will only here fire crackers instead of gunfire and bomb explosion.. while everyone is peacefully asleep my dad is awake keeping everyone's safe.. while every kid is playing and spending time with their father i am alone most of the time thinking about my dad...and my dad is actually out there fighting for rebels.... 10 years has passed..i didnt grew up with my dad.. i dont know how it feels to be a little girl being on their dad's arm..or how it feels to cry on your dads shoulder when someone bullied you... i grew up being bullied at school because i dont have father what they dont know is that my dad sacrifice himself to protect their family... every birthdays and graduation my dad wasnt there for me... anyway my dad survived everything and he is now retiring from service this february he spent 32 years being a military ☺ I AM PROUD TO BE HIS DAUGHTER. I WONT EXCHANGE HIM FOR ANYTHING AND FOR ANYONE. ☺ so to everyone reading this.. YOU ARE LUCKY IF YOU GREW UP WITH YOUR DAD... to the kids reading this CHERISH EVERY MOMENT YOU SPENT WITH YOUR MOM AND DAD...YOU WILL REGRET IT SOON IF YOU DONT... find time for them.. TIME WONT GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO GO BACK... EVERY MINUTE IS PRECIOUS... LOVE THEM UNCONDITIONALLY...coz if will be given a chance i want to go back to being a child just to play with my dad even just for an hour... P.S. I AM FROM PHILIPPINES... MY DAD WAS SENT TO THE MOUNTINS OF MINDANAO..I KNOW EVERY FILIPINO WILL KNOW THE STORY OF MINDANAO.

i dont understand a word but her emotions can send the meaning, that is TAEYEONS IMPACT

저는 2017년 1월에 아빠를 잃었고 이 노래는 2017년 12월에 나왔어요. 제가 물론 이 앨범도 샀어요. 그때 노래듣고 펑펑 울었습니다. 너무 길을 잃은 기분이었고 지금 생각해도 지금 눈물이 나와요. 이제는 태연이도 아빠를 잃었잖아요. 심지어 생일날에 잃었다는게 어떻게 견뎠는지 상상도 못해요. 저는 3월 3일에 태어났고 아빠는 1월 2일에 돌아가셨는데도 못 견디 만큼 힘들었는데 3월 9일에 태어난 태연이가 아빠를 그날에 잃은 기분이 정말 힘들겠고 생일 날마다 충분히 행복할수 없을것 같아요. 저도 생일날에 아빠 보고 싶어서 미치게 힘든데… 정말 힘든다는 것 밖에 못 느껴요. 근데 태연이는 어른이라서 진짜 잘 견뎠나봐요. 생일 날 인스타에서 아빠에 대한 올리는 걸 보고 많이 배웠어요. 나도 이제 21살이니까 빨리 어른 답게 살아야 겠어요. 애처럼 울기만 하면 안되니까! 그리고 이노래를 몇년 만에 다시 들었어요. 이동안 용기가 없어서 못 들었어요. 근데 노래 듣 때마다 눈물이 나네요.

Sone, please work hard so Taeyeon will win trophies. This can be our Christmas gift for her. As she already blessed as with this lovely song.

It's truly amazing how emotional her voice is. I don't understand Korean (trying to learn right now haha), but whenever I listen to her voice, it moves me. Once again proves that MUSIC TRANSCENDS LANGUAGE

honestly i dont even know what she's saying, i dont understand korean at all, but this MV got me crying :') her voices literally touches my heart even tho i dont understand korean :')

2년밖에 안 됐는데 이 노래만 들으면 자꾸 어릴 때가 생각남...뭉클하고 포근함....엑소 노래도...ㅜㅜ 흑흑 갑자기 생각나서 왔는데 역시 너무 좋넹..

Zero promotion from SM, get bashed from her unfortunate accident, but still makes an All-Kill. Now Sone could proudly say 'This is our Taeyeon'

Now Taeyeon In the future Taeyeon Forever Taeyeon will be queen of history..

Sping => I Why >< Autumn => Fine :3 Winter => This Christmas TAEYEON

하나 둘씩 곁을 떠나는게 무섭다 나이를 먹는것도 무섭고 앞으로 내가 더 잘해낼수 있을지 무섭다 목표가 있고 그걸 꼭 달성해내고 싶은데 마음만 앞서는거 같은 요즘, 나중에 다시 이 댓글을 볼때쯤엔 성공해있으면 좋겠고 별탈없이 무던히 지나가면 좋겠다 20.11.19

I'm Queen's. I'm here to support Taeyeon and SNSD. For me, SNSD and T-ARA are always 2 best groups of 2nd generation

I wanna say something like "QUEEN", but now i'm too emotional for this

This MV has actually a really beautiful meaning that not many artists display in their videos...Bravo to Taeyeon for reminding everyone that Christmas is about family and unity!! She could have just made an ordinary christmas MV with sparkles and glam like every other artist has done but she choose something with a deeper meaning... Beautiful!!

I've just started listening to Taetae's music about a year ago. I stumbled on this magical song a few months back. The first time I heard, I didn't understand a thing but I really felt in love with it because of her voice and the sweet melody. I searched for the english subbed version and I cried a lot while listening to it and thinking about my mom and dad. Today I heard the horrible news, I'm back here again with tears. I cannot imagine how she can pull herself through this but I want Taeyeon to know many people are here for her. I'm a late fan but I knew she've been through a lot in her life. I hope she can find someone to talk to or get professional help if she need it. My deepest condolences to the family, I'm so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Still can't believe this song got an All-Kill Congrats my Queen! She deserves this!

왠지 따뜻했던 그날 밤 눈꽃이 내려앉은 두 볼에 스치듯 가벼운 너의 입술이 난 아직 잊혀지지가 않아 Beautiful night 그날의 널 기억해 마치 시간을 되돌린 듯 날 찾아와주길 Christmas 꿈결같던 Christmas 기억하고 있어 네가 남긴 달콤한 속삭임 커져간 떨림 Oh Christmas 네가 있던 Merry Christmas 영원할 것 같았던 간절한 이 마음을 전해 I pray on This Christmas 문득 생각이나 그날 밤 유난히 따뜻했던 두 손이 얼어붙은 내 맘을 녹여주던 난 왠지 어제처럼 느껴져 Beautiful night 그날의 널 기억해 마치 운명이 우릴 채운 듯 날 찾아와주길 Christmas 꿈결같던 Christmas 기억하고 있어 네가 남긴 달콤한 속삭임 커져간 떨림 Oh Christmas 네가 있던 Merry Christmas 영원할 것 같았던 간절한 이 마음을 전해 I pray on This Christmas 찬란했던 그 겨울 앞에 내가 서있어 다시 찾아온 계절이 너를 반기고 함께 와주길 Christmas 꿈결같던 Christmas 기억하고 있어 네가 남긴 달콤한 속삭임 커져간 떨림 Oh Christmas 네가 있던 Merry Christmas 영원할 것 같았던 간절한 이 마음을 전해 I pray on This Christmas 간절한 이 마음을 전해 I pray on This Christmas ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ여기까지 가사ㅡㅡㅡㅡ 노래 너무좋당 ♥♥

sobbing because she looks like she aged backwards ;; queen is back saving christmas omg

Who's here after hearing Taeyeon will have a comeback in this December. Omg cant wait anymore ^^

Rarely do songs make me cry....i can't believe my eyes were tearing up by watching this....the storyline and song were beautiful. She's beautiful. incredible mv and way to end the year Queen Taeyeon!

This year I'll be screaming *"I PRAY ON THIS CHRISTMAS"* instead of *"ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOUUUUUU"* and _thank God for that_

*This saved 2017, the real meaning of wow!* *who's before 1M?*

그냥 연인 이야기인줄 알았는 데 뮤비 보니까 가사가 더 와닿네요 눈물나왕

I don't stan her too much, but her songs always give me peace, idk. Her voice is so beautiful.

QUEEN OF QUEENS IS BACK. She is here to put out her work , slay the industry with her beautiful voice and amazing vocals and if you're a sone , or you like Taeyeon , please support Taeyeon a lot! I hope we can at least get her two trophies. Also I think that sometimes this sounds like a disney musical's OST🍂💓

행복한 크리스마스를 맞이하고싶어요 언니도 크리스마스만큼은 유독 행복했으면 좋겠어요 웃어요 너무아파하지말아요 눈물이 나면 참지말고 흘려보내요 다 흘려보내면서 힘든시간 아픔도 같이 흘려보내세요

Taeyeon said during 'if' era whenever her dad saw anybody wandering around his shop( he ran a business) he would told them " Yes , this is the home of taeyeon who sing 'if' " without them asking or even know if they were really there because of taeyeon . He was so proud of his daughter and thank you for giving birth and raising such an angel . May you rest in peace Mr. Kim #ripourkimappa

I have tears in my eyes :;;

Even if I am not a Taeyeon stan ... I can't deny that she has the most beautiful voice ever 👍👍👍

I almost cried. #Taeyeon is back to save our souls and bless us with good music.

So many idols try cover TaeYeon song.. I'm just realized TaeYeon Voice on another level,she really the the text book for many idols vocalist I'm so proud :D

リズを観にきてみたら…感動しちゃった。

It's so sad when a lot of teens pull away from their parents or when parents and their kids simply grow apart as they evolve :(

SM please take care and give more attention to taeyeon. im kind of worried now. ive been a fan of her since 2012 and it seems she has a lot of things that she hides inside lately. somehow i see sadness in her eyes. and now with jonghyun leaving, im really worried. i hope SM can take good care of their artist, especially our taetae. we all know that taeyeon is pretty fragile. please SM, we dont want to lose anyone anymore.

태연 목소리 참 좋다❤️ 태연 노래가 매년마다 안나오면 솔직히 진짜 허전할듯!! 태연언니 노래해줘서 고마워❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 계속 우리곁에 있어줘 항상 언니 응원할께😭😭😭
