Sooyoung of Girls' Generation drew attention by performing Beyoncé's 'Single Ladies' on MBC's variety show 'Hangout with Yoo?' which aired on the 20th. The Girls' Generation unit 'HyoriSoo', composed of Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung, appeared to record the OST for the short-form drama project 'Jjigeoyou'. During a discussion about dividing vocal parts, a dance battle unfolded where Yuri danced to Britney Spears' 'Toxic', and Sooyoung spontaneously performed an impromptu routine to Beyoncé's signature hit 'Single Ladies'. Sooyoung commanded the stage with crisp movements and a relaxed expression, drawing cheers from the audience. Following the broadcast, netizens noted the coincidental timing as Sooyoung recently announced her breakup with Jung Kyungho, suggesting she has been single for the first time in 14 years. Online users reacted positively with comments such as 'The timing is uncanny', 'After 14 years of a public relationship, a single lady', and 'Hope HyoriSoo makes a quick comeback'.
