Singer and actress Tiffany Young (37) shared insights on Girls' Generation's activities commemorating their 20th anniversary debut.

Tiffany Young conducted an interview with StarNews at the Seoul Arts Center in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 21st. She will meet audiences with the original musical "Yumi's Cells" at the arts center from the 30th through August 23.

"Yumi's Cells" is a project completed by Sam Company and Studio N after five years of joint planning and development, based on the webtoon of the same name by writer Lee Dong-geon, which has recorded a global cumulative viewership of 3.5 billion views. It compresses an expansive narrative into a refined 160-minute stage production, creatively portraying the daily life and romance of ordinary office worker Yumi through the perspective of cells in her mind.

In the play, Tiffany Young takes on the title role of Yumi, moving away from her glamorous image to deliver a realistic performance that resonates with audiences.

On this day, Tiffany Young relayed the reactions of Girls' Generation members who had "loyally" watched "Yumi's Cells" early. She said, "The members were so moved they were crying and looking up at the ceiling to hold back tears. They all said they enjoyed it immensely and that creation is truly a remarkable endeavor. As a performer, having friends who know me better than anyone else watch my work and empathize with it gave me great strength and reassurance. Some members had experienced the original webtoon in real time, so I think they enjoyed it even more."

Continuing, Tiffany Young added, "The members offer plenty of support and praise, but they are also coldly critical. They're scary friends. Especially Sooyoung is the most coldly critical," showcasing a chemistry befitting close real-life friends.

Notably, Tiffany Young revealed plans for Girls' Generation's full-group comeback to commemorate their 20th anniversary next year, drawing significant attention. She stated, "We will make a big deal of Girls' Generation activities," raising expectations.

Tiffany Young said, "We are already holding quarterly meetings with the members. Even in between, we continue exchanging opinions and preparing systematically," expressing confidence in achieving high completion standards.

She then remarked, "In reaching this point, there were truly many situations, moments, and concerns. Sometimes I made good choices regarding those concerns, and sometimes poor ones—that's why I am here today. Moving forward, rather than just 'achieving something,' I want to preserve what matters well. Girls' Generation, a wonderful space, and my friends (members) have been instrumental in my life and career thus far. In the future, I aim to carefully safeguard my choices regarding both my friends and my works. That is my goal," she seriously reflected on her 20th anniversary.

She added, "I will continue to do my absolute best without change. Even when giving my all, it often feels insufficient. Whether it's the stage, music, or screen, my desire to always give my best to the public remains unchanged. Working hard is natural; now, I want to deliver only good things by pouring my full effort into them," revealing remarkable passion.
