Seohyun Playfully Reveals Hyoyeon's Drinking Stories on 'Jjanhan Hyung'

On the latest episode of the YouTube variety show 'Jjanhan Hyung' (짠한형), which aired on June 16, 2025, Seohyun (서현) from Girls' Generation (소녀시대) humorously shared some amusing anecdotes about her bandmate Hyoyeon (효연) and her legendary drinking habits.

During Episode 97, the two former roommates reminisced about their time together in Girls' Generation, particularly focusing on their members' drinking escapades. Seohyun made a bold statement, saying, "After seeing Hyoyeon drink, I decided I would never drink alcohol myself." When MC Shin Dong-yeop questioned whether drinking requires a target, Seohyun replied, "Absolutely not. I've had to drink just to fit in with the atmosphere, even holding my nose while doing it. It wasn't enjoyable at all," sharing a bittersweet experience.

Seohyun also confessed, "I actually dislike soju mixed with beer (소맥), and just one can of peach-flavored 3% alcohol gets me tipsy. But if the main person isn't drinking, it feels awkward," revealing her realistic concerns about social drinking. Hyoyeon chimed in, saying, "That's not even real alcohol; it's too sweet," to which Seohyun retorted, "But it still gets you a bit tipsy!"

Hyoyeon further revealed, "I used to drink until 6 AM and still go to schedules afterward," showcasing her reputation as a party girl. Seohyun humorously added, "I was like the CCTV of Girls' Generation, keeping an eye on all the members' conditions."

In a particularly touching moment, Seohyun shared, "After concerts, I would help the members lie down, remove their makeup, and prevent a drunken Hyoyeon from going out. I did it all," admitting to her role as the 'mom' of the group. Hyoyeon responded, "When I'm with Seohyun, I feel like I've lived my life wrong. She was more like a parent than a younger sister, and I truly appreciated that."
