Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon Reveals What Made Her Want A Career As A DJ
As a member of Girls’ Generation, Hyoyeon has shown her immense talent in singing, dancing, and rapping, and when it came to her solo activities, showed a new side of herself to her fans as a DJ!
Hyoyeon recently guested on Super Junior Eunhyuk and Donghae‘s radio show, where they talked about her long career as a Girls’ Generation member, and also her new solo career as a DJ!
About choosing to become a DJ, Eunhyuk asked her why she chose that, instead of anything else in the entertainment field.
How did you start DJ-ing?
—Eunhyuk
Hyoyeon revealed that she began to look at DJ-ing as a career because she wanted to combine and share the wide range of music she listened to as a dancer, and what started as a hobby ultimately led to a solo career!
For DJ-ing…because I danced before, the music I listened to has a broader spectrum, genre-wise. I wanted to share the songs I like; I wanted to do mixing. I was learning it as a hobby myself, and I heard from other people that I know a lot of songs, that I know the flow well.
So because I kept hearing that I’m good, as I learned more, it felt like…it was mine.
—Hyoyeon
She also revealed that she then approached the agency about becoming a DJ, sending tons of texts to make her case!
I wanted to do it! So I appealed a lot to the teacher…I remember that. I really sent an explosion of texts. That I wanted to change entirely to a DJ.
—Hyoyeon
And that persuasion paid off, as Hyoyeon’s now enjoying her passion successfully!
Hyoyeon made her solo comeback with the song “Second” ft. BIBI. Don’t forget to check it out here!
