History

During the year 2012, South Korean girl group Girls' Generation went through an unannounced hiatus as the majority of the group's members were focusing on individual activities. Some acted in television dramas while others participated in various television programs. The subgroup TTS was born because members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun wanted to carry on with their music activities. All three were hosts of the weekly music program Show! Music Core at the time.{{cite episode|title=Kiss The Radio - May 4, 2012|series=Kiss the Radio|network=KBS Cool FM |date=May 4, 2012}}{{cite news|url=http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/7073/seohyun-reveals-which-snsd-member-she-would-pick-to-join-taetiseo|title=Seohyun Reveals Which SNSD Member She Would Pick to Join Taetiseo|date=May 23, 2012|access-date=March 20, 2016|publisher=eNewsWorld|first=Stewart|last=Ho|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150717040547/http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/7073/seohyun-reveals-which-snsd-member-she-would-pick-to-join-taetiseo|archive-date=July 17, 2015|url-status=dead}} On April 19, 2012, SM Entertainment officially announced the formation of the subgroup and hinted at the possibility of other future subgroups, explaining, "the members of the unit [are rotated] according to the [unique] music and concept of each new subgroup album."[http://media.daum.net/entertain/enews/view?cateid=1033&newsid=20120419083904397 Subgroup "TTS", formed by Girls' Generation's Taeyeon, Tiffany & Seohyun, debuts in May (in Korean)] Daum.net (April 19, 2012).
