Before that, the girl group's junior Jonghyun also wrote the lyrics of his group SHINee's 제목 track "View" although he has been 글쓰기 some of their songs way before.
Being busy for Girls' Generation's 음악회, 콘서트 tour "Phantasia" in different countries including 일본 in which they are currently in for the said tour, the girls of TaeTiSeo Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun have ended their performances in weekly 음악 shows in Korea.
