No Longer Living In Shared Expensive Luxurious Apartment

Their family's homes are near, they miss their family, they cannot stay with someone for 24hrs, they are more comfortable at home, all these are valid reasons for them to head back home. In the past, the reason they had to live together was because it was easier for the managers to bring them to & fro, especially with their busy schedule, they had no time or energy to meet others anyway.

Now, with all the individual schedules they have, they no longer have to meet up so frequently to practise or for a schedule. Of course that's not saying that they do not have practices, they do for new songs, but hey, as you get more experienced, you are more skilled at ur jobs yeah? With that, they are more likely to have more time to go home, especially when your family's house is in Seoul.

In addition, all the members have their driving license now, so they are more than capable of driving to the scheduled locations themselves. Managers now need only to go to the shared apartment to fetch the couple of members who live there/stayed the night over.

With them earning millions of dollars of revenues for their company, SM Entertainment, the least Lee Soo Man can do is give them more freedom. (Freedom can mean lots of things ;), I'd discuss it another day ;)) Moreover, as seniors and leaders of the industry, they have more responsibilities but also, more freedom to do whatever they like. They know they can, SME cannot do anything to an individual right now. All threats will backfire if held to it. Can you imagine SNSD without Jessica because she broke the relationship rules? Can you imagine the backlash SME will suffer if they cut her out of Girls Generation. The power of 9. The unity. The strength they have as a group. All that, breaks, now. Think 2PM and Jaebum. Even then, they are not as united as SNSD, nor do they have as many fans, so multiply the damage by 8. SME cannot afford to lose the group, nor lose a single member, period.

With all that said, here's a redundant list of members I can confirm are still living there most/all of the time: Taeyeon, Tiffany. LOL, punked! Sorry.

The Taengsic Conflict

Words of declaration: Taengsic is my OTP and is the couple which I observe the most.

As much as I ship Taengsic, I do not think they get along in reality. From their trainee days to after their debut, both lead singers have always been compared against, it is inevitable for them to develop a sense of consciousness towards the other. If one improves, the other will feel pressured to step up her game.

Not to mention that Taeyeon is ultimately v traditionally Korean, while it is difficult for non-Koreans to actually accept the strict Korean culture easily. With a little rebellion in Jessica (for she is the hard-headed ABK), both are bound to have arguments. Character-wise Jessica tends to forget little arguments and puts it past her, Taeyeon on the other hand seems to remember grudges. It may not seem like it on the surface. This is why we see Jessica trying to forge contacts with Taeyeon but Taeyeon ignoring it.

In the past, we see Taengsic moments, this was probably because of them only having competition between them, yet trying to hide that from the camera. After all, should such image be portrayed on 2009's innocent angels. *Think Into the New World*

I think they are past the competitive phase, but it is difficult for them to shake hands and be best friends. Something probably happened in 2011 for Taeyeon to find it difficult to accept Jessica. I suspect relationships or Jessica's nonchalent and easygoing attitude to piss off our Taengoo. Let's also not forget that Jessica is probably the one who spents the most time with ppl out of the group, so there's equals to less interactions between her & the other members. As time pasts without any reconciliation, it will get harder.

For now, let's just indulge in our "deluded" Taengsic writers' imagination and be hopeful HERE COME TO TAENGSIC FANTASY/ PARADISE .
