She stated, &#8220;We need to talk among ourselves to determine if it&#8217;s going to happen or not. Everyone has different thoughts, and we are currently in the stage of discussing our opinions.&#8221; She added, &#8220;Sooyoung is working out to prepare for it, while I&#8217;m still wondering, &#8216;Is this really going to happen?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also recalled their 15th-anniversary reunion: &#8220;We all gathered for our 15th anniversary and released a song. Even after five years, it felt the same as before. Some members were late and unfocused during practice.&#8221; She continued, &#8220;If practice is for three hours, Tiffany signals us to focus for one hour. When Yoona, Yuri, and I keep joking around, she looks exasperated but eventually gives in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Capture from 'Donghaemulgwa Baekdunhyeok' channel.\" height=\"926\" src=\"https:\/\/image.xportsnews.com\/contents\/images\/upload\/article\/2026\/0120\/1768861447934155.png\" width=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Donghae then asked if, given their maturity and maintained beauty, she had any desire to be at the center for the 20th anniversary. Hyoyeon candidly replied, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been brainwashed. It&#8217;s scary because I&#8217;ve done it this way for over ten years, so that spot doesn&#8217;t feel like mine anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hyoyeon elaborated, &#8220;It feels like I should step aside for a bit. No one told me to move back, but I feel my place is to the side, and it makes me feel bittersweet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Donghae and Eunhyuk expressed interest in potential changes to Girls&#8217; Generation&#8217;s positions, Hyoyeon remarked, &#8220;It&#8217;s time to try something new.&#8221; She further suggested, &#8220;Taeyeon and Yoona should move to the back. These days, there are so many cameras that they&#8217;ll get shots from anywhere. The funny thing is, even when Yoona is in the back, she will definitely get a solo shot,&#8221; she added with a laugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyoyeon discussed her thoughts on Girls&#8217; Generation&#8217;s upcoming 20th anniversary.
