How many times have Sone heard this story over the years? How many former SM trainees have used the "I almost made it into SNSD" for clout? :kijoongstare:


We're tired of it. And it seems that Taeyeon is tired of people using SNSD's name to bring attention to themselves. Because she's just uploaded this onto IG Stories and she seems pissed off!!!






Taeyeon being a true leader. She's had enough of this shit!!!

Soyeon is all that can make a real claim and she never does.

You could make a female NCT with all these ex- trainees that think being at SM at anytime from 2000-2007 makes them an 'Almost SNSD member"🙄

Funny enough, the ones that actually kept up a relationship with the girls name-dropped the least

From the comments that I've seen being left on Naver. Knetz are praising Taeyeon!

I don’t blame her for being annoyed. Just because you didn’t make it into the group doesn’t mean that you should use their name for clout. They worked hard to get to where they are today and these almost members weren’t apart of that.

But anyway, Taeyeon is right, in a few years we might have more former trainees trying to claim they almost became part of so and so group which just isn't true lol. Stop chasing clout.

OT9 and OT8 stans have already gone to war with one another :irenecrazy:

Though I can understand why Taeyeon only mentioned 8. We don't know how much the girls are tied down by SM to not mention OT9... But we do know that any mention of OT9 by any of the 9 girls would set off the immature stans on either side (though they've already kicked off *sighs*)


Wait a few years for Mnet to air 'Produce I Almost Made It Into SNSD'...

Yeah it's a risk no matter what gets said :yolk:
Taeyeon usually doesn't take to SNS to address anyone directly on stuff like this, so I can see that contestant really pissed her off lmao. Public sentiment is pretty much in Taengoo's favor too :sanapray:

For a former trainee who was never even in the picture to cry about how her position in SNSD was 'stolen' from her. I'm not surprised that that pissed Taeyeon off.


As I expected it would be. The public loves Taeyeon and SNSD. And they only acknowledge the members that debuted as a part of SNSD as being a part of their history.

I LOLed but according to canon,
all the real ones like Stella, so-yeon, Zhang Liyin, hwanhee n chanmi all debuted/hv careers n wouldn't join.
I might, emphasize might be curious to watch a show where all the non-SNSD /SM former trainees were on a program either singly/together to reminisce but think SM might hv objections especially the narrative of OT8/OT9 being crucial to that hypothetical program. Also some might regret their current circumstance/prefer not to reminisce/exploit their past tat way.

Who's Chanmi?
I've seen people throwing her name around as someone who was in the lineup but I've never heard of her?
The AOA girl?

Nah AOA Chanmi would've been 11 when SNSD debuted lol. Heo Chanmi, probably. She appeared in Produce 101 S1, she was an SM trainee for quite a while.

Heo Chanmi has been floating around for years debuting in groups that disband, and also appeared on Produce.

She's another former SM trainee that's also mentioned in the past that she almost debuted with SNSD. And she almost did as she was one of the final few trainees along with Stella & Soyeon (I believe that she participated in early recordings of ITNW). But she missed out on debuting as she was too young (Was either Sunny or Seohyun who filled the final spot). And thank god that she didn't debut with SNSD! Because she's had a few bullying and racism scandals over the years.

I definitely get why Taeyeon reacted like this. People really just love to claim they almosz were part of snsd, yet were most likely never even in the plan of snsd.

She also claimed ITNW was supposed to be her debut song but failed during the high note while covering it on Produce lol. She was the oldest and most experienced trainee there too.

I kinda got her confused w/hwanhee who gets mentioned as seohyun's best friend. Think maybe chanmi would agree to appear on hypothetical produce-I-was-almost-SNSD-show, LOL. (Still breaks current SM narrative abt SNSD so I don't can expect this anytime.)

Not sure how long chanmi trained before her debut but hwanhee(Fwaney) trained 10yrs, can't find much updates after 2013/2015 abt her.

tats sad but since she hasn't been singing itnw regularly, it's understandable n not like I think she would practice itnw before pd101 since not being in SNSD was a lost opportunity/sad reminder for her. (She was ard 15/16 in 2007 so I don't think age alone was reason she wasn't in SNSD, I'd guess she dint fit wat LSM/SM wanted in final lineup) I might check into chanmi singing itnw since I never got into pd101.

Interestingly, chanmi also was in mixnine. Again no news/updates I can find abt her after 2017.

Yeah but she's been a trainee in agencies constantly and was also a part of a short lived group called Five Dolls lol, so it's not like she was out of practice. Normally I'd feel bad coz anyone can have a bad day but due to her attitude problems and other stuff over the years, I didn't feel sad in the slightest lol.

Just googled her further now, n I think I won't check out her in pd101, tho some edits of the OP hv redacted but wat remains is so problematic, idk results of mixnine but ok, she dint debuted in High Color.
