On January 9, SM Entertainment confirmed the renewal, stating that Taeyeon has once again chosen to walk alongside the company that has supported her journey since her debut. Taeyeon first entered the K-pop scene in 2007 as the leader and lead vocalist of the legendary girl group Girls’ Generation, and then established herself as a powerful solo artist starting in 2015. Over the course of nearly two decades, she has become one of Korea’s most respected and recognizable singers, and the renewed contract reflects the deep trust built between artist and agency.
As a soloist, Taeyeon has made a number of major hits including “I,” “Why,” “Four seasons,” “Spark,” “INVITE,” AND “A.X.” His music has performed well on both digital charts and physical album sales, solidifying his status as a top-tier solo artist. Recently, he celebrated the 10th anniversary of his solo debut with his first compilation, “Panorama: The best of TAEYEON”, a significant project that encapsulated his musical journey and evolution.
SM Entertainment shared, “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Taeyeon, a treasured artist for SM, based on the trust and strong bond we have built over many years. We will continue to support her in every way so that she can shine even brighter as a global artist.”
With her contract renewed, fans can look forward to Taeyeon’s next chapter, one that builds on her legacy by promising even more music, performances and global activities in the future.
