On February 9th, SM Entertainment updated Girls’ Generation’s official Facebook page with a mysterious picture of Seohyun and a red muffler. Its accompanying caption read, “Girls’ Generation’s maknae Seohyun has prepared an interesting collaboration. Are you looking forward to it? It’s with the owner of that red muffler by the windowsill….”
Netizens had hoped that Seohyun’s duet partner would be Jung Yonghwa, Seohyun’s virtual husband from MBC‘s ‘We Got Married‘. However, once they learned about Yoon Gun’s tweet (sent out on the same day as the Facebook update), they became convinced that Seohyun’s partner was none other than Yoon Gun.
The R&B singer had posted a picture of sweet potatoes along with the message: “Included is a clear and pure voice of a young woman.”
Sweet potatoes, or yams, are items publicly associated with Seohyun, who’s known to have a mania for them.
Excited fans commented, “It’s so unexpected! I am very looking forward to it”, “It’s really funny how he uploaded a picture of the sweet potato”, and “Even though they don’t directly say it, the association is so obvious.”
