During a web show appearance, Sooyoung revealed that a legendary Red Velvet song was originally meant for Girls' Generation!
Though the members of Girls' Generation are currently embarking on their solo endeavors, that doesn't mean they've forgotten their roots. During their variety show appearances, they are known to talk about their group and the memories they made together. One memory that Sooyoung mentioned has never been revealed to fans, leaving many shocked.
Keep on reading for all the details.
Sooyoung Reveals A Red Velvet Song Was Originally For Girls' Generation
On April 25, 2024, Sooyoung appeared on the latest episode of MMTG's "Hit Song Championship." During her time on the show, she revealed a fun fact that has not been revealed to fans.
She revealed that for one of Girls' Generation's albums, the girl group received the guide for "Red Flavor." Fans may recall that title as Red Velvet's hit 2017 song. It is one of their most successful releases, topping all major domestic charts and even debuting at number four on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales Chart.
When Sooyoung first heard the guide for "Red Flavor," she knew it would immediately become a hit, and she immediately fell in love with this song.
However, because Girls' Generation kept being pushed back, "Red Flavor" ultimately went to Red Velvet.

Looking at the timeline, it makes sense why they were unable to push through with the promotions. The girl group would be celebrating their tenth anniversary that year and had not made a formal comeback since 2015.
Instead of releasing "Red Flavor," Girls' Generation dropped the album "Holiday Night," with lead singles "Holiday" and "All Night." Later that year, Sooyoung left SM Entertainment, and the members went on an extended hiatus from group activities. It would take them four years to reunite and five years to release new music together.

In August 2023, Sunny left SM Entertainment after her exclusive contract with the agency expired. This would make her the fifth member of Girls' Generation to leave SM Entertainment, following Jessica in 2014 (former member) and Tiffany, Sooyoung, and Seohyun in 2017. Currently, only Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Yoona are still under SM Entertainment.
The girl group's last musical release was their studio album "Forever 1" in August 2022. The album was released to celebrate Girls' Generation's 15th anniversary.
