Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany explains why she doesn’t like being called by her Korean name


Girls’ Generation’s Tiffany, whose Korean name is Hwang Miyoung, confessed that she dislikes being called by her Korean name.
The singer made the confession on the latest episode of MBC‘s ’Joo Byung Jin’s Talk Concert‘. The episode featured members of TVXQ, Super Junior, and Girls’ Generation.
The show started off with a quick introduction from each of the members, starting first with TVXQ’sYunho. During Tiffany’s introduction, Leeteuk suddenly asked her why she didn’t like being called by her “real” name. Tiffany then answered that her friends would often “tease her because of her name,”and that they called her “Hwang Miyuk” (“miyuk” in Korean means seaweed), which caused the guests to laugh.
They went as far as making a rap song titled Hwang Miyuck,” continued Tiffany, “They would sing it every time they saw me!
Other highlights from the episode include Eunhyunk’s breaking of his long-running status as a non-drinker of 27 years, Changmin’s choice of the “member he’d get along with the least” should he have debuted under Super Junior, and Seohyun’s own ranking of the men of SM Entertainment from hottest to least hottest.
