Hyoyeon has been appointed as the main vocalist of Girls' Generation's new unit, HyoRiSu. On May 2, a video on Hyoyeon's YouTube channel titled 'Hyoyeon's Level Up' revealed her optimistic message, "Pack your passports; HyoRiSu is going to the Grammys." HyoRiSu comprises Hyoyeon, Yuri, and Sooyoung, who competed for the main vocal position. Prior to the voting, Hyoyeon expressed her determination, stating, "I'm in full campaign mode," and reacted positively to the broadcast coverage, saying, "I will enjoy the attention since I know I will become the main vocalist." Sooyoung questioned the need for voting, implying that it felt predetermined. After the final vote, Hyoyeon emerged as the main vocalist, leading to Sooyoung's surprise as she remarked, "Isn't it odd? I was first in likes and views!" In response, Hyoyeon expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, while Yuri humorously chimed in, suggesting they should break free from SM, with Sooyoung adding a playful comment about her potential success with YG.
The selection of Hyoyeon as the main vocalist marks a significant milestone for HyoRiSu's debut. The anticipation surrounding the musical direction that this new unit will take has increased, largely due to Hyoyeon's authenticity and confident demeanor. Her approach not only strengthens her connection with fans but also raises curiosity about the artistic vision she will bring forth.
