when we are saying "Taeyeon of the 3rd Gen", what exactly are we measuring? General public visibility + admiration? Established + solid solo career that borderlines/outshines their group endeavors? Vocal stylings, prowlness, + execution?
either way, I'll throw this name into the mix even though she probably not on alot of people's radar like that. However, she is a very talented singer/songwriter that rose to her own outside her brief moment in a celebrated duo in JYPE. Established her own label, has a varied discography between solo work + a band that she fronts, + recently concluded a US tour.. No matter what could be said, she's actually one of the few 3rd ladies that has created her own lane + is thriving as an artist by her own merits.
My vote is for Yerin Baek.
