Coming from the `national` group Girls’ Generation, singer Taeyeon constantly experiments with different styles in each comeback.
Let’s look back at Kim Taeyeon’s colorful fashion journey through the most iconic MVs during her 5 years as a solo artist.
The beginning is full of freedom and excitement

Break through and shine
Something New (2018)
As the name suggests, Something New is a new step in Taeyeon’s music when she chooses a Neo Soul/R&B mix that has a modern sound and is quite `picky` for listeners.

Despite receiving many mixed opinions for Something New, Taeyeon has gradually asserted her own color and been recognized as a real artist.

Four Seasons (2019)

The female singer tells the story about the laws of time when the four seasons come and go through her costumes and MV scenery.
Jeans, tank tops and Converse shoes are familiar outfits of summer, of youthful enthusiasm.
For the Fall scene, Taeyeon chose a see-through chiffon shirt and asymmetrical earrings.
Winter opens with the image of the female singer standing under a dugout tree, wearing a loose blue jacket.
The loose blue blazer symbolizes the cold winter.
And finally, Spring `blooms` in a white silk dress with slits.
Spark (2019)
After the resounding success with the `four seasons picture` Four Seasons, singer Taeyeon once again tried a different color.

Taeyeon did not create a highlight with statement earrings like previous MVs, but instead used all kinds of trendy necklaces such as chain necklaces and large chokers.
