As some of you may know, recently theres been a bit of a buzz because of the certain news about Taeyeon being hospilitized. I've read many different reasons regarding this subject(Like how its not a normal cold, but a body cold), but the recurring reason seems to be that her sore throat got worse, thus resulting to a trip to the hospital for a check-up.
Because of her sore throat, they've had SNSD member Sooyoung fill in for her on 'Chin Chin' with KangIn, and has stopped her 'promotions' of her solo song, as to her incapibility of singing live in her condition.
In my honest opinion, it seems this is being blown way out of proportion. The fact that they have made it so public and tried to make her seem as pitiable as can be is ridiculous. Its flu season, wether its a cold or a sore throat or whatever shes got, It's not really anything serious. I don't want her physically injured or Ill, but I'm not going to pity her for having a cold, that just sounds ridiculous. Taking a trip to the hospital doesn't mean you have been rushed to the ER. I've been there for not so serious treatments (Actually not serious at all treatments) thats why its so annoying seeing people over reacting over something like this and ignoring the serious hushed-up illnesses of her fellow SM SunBaes.
BoA, has never had a break in her 8 years in the industry, and even with her back/waist injury way back when she continued on with promotions like a good sport. Thats not even mentioning the depression she has admitted to and her recent leg/wrist injurys, that have delayed her american debut, only because shes now not physically able to dance.
The first week DBSK came back to Korea, they were all suffering from the flu and were forced, or out of their own will/dedication, to perform on stage, LIVE, with barely any shirts on, thats not even mentioning their appearences else where, due to their hectic schedule. Also the many incidents of DBSK members collapsing and being sent to the hospital secretly, not publicly announced, but found out by fans.
How many times have you heard of a Suju member being injured? They get spread all over town, and the continent, suffering with serious injurys and getting WORN OUT. Yet have you ever heard them, or any other SM artist that have worked just as hard, excluding SNSD, complain?
And thats me being extremely vague. Now, think of all the fatigue their SunBaes had to go through, whilst keeping face, without a complaint leaving their lips, and then to see how everybody over reacts over a 'Sore throat' or Body cold, whatever. Not to sound insensitive, but it pales in comparison to the others, right?

A comment on TaeYeons condition by SooYoung, covering for her on Chin Chin
Compared to yesterday, Taeyeon is doing much better, lately. Her condition is not that bad, please do not worry too much. Since you are all supporting her and encouraging her, she feels strengthened and is feeling better and will be returning here very soon.
Sorry, but it makes me sick that she is being treated like a little war hero, while her SunBaes that are worse off are being left in the dust.
Pay attention to Taeyeon in the group pics showing us how a "Leader" flaunts it
Believe me they are plentiful, and these are all PUBLIC appearances (Inlcuding her radio show since its public viewing), the time when they tell you to smile.
As a leader, you should take one for the team and keep face for your group, its called having responsibility. Taeyeon out of the whole group seems to try the hardest to make her self seem pitiable. Why was she made the leader if she can't handle the responsibilities or the criticism that comes automatically with being an Idol star, or a Celebrity in general? Every single artist released from SME, gained a lot of Antis, yet they got through it. That is no excuse to parade around with a great big frown on your face and to do so, while calling yourself a leader.
I find it hard to pity a person, who just uses it as an act. While others have had physical harm from antis, she has had messages when she was in the wrong in the first place. Excuse me if I was insensitive, but I find it insulting that other stars are being admitted to hospitals secretly (For serious reasons, not check-ups), behind the backs of fans, while they parade around with runny noses and pouts asking for pity.
What a disgrace to leaders, not even being able to take a cold without making a big deal out of it.
