Yes, Taeyeon's defense mechanism of being sarcastic was harsh and probably unprofessional, but it did have some truth in it. But of course it's her mistake since she's a public figure who is supposed to be polite. SO she was wrong when it comes to that, I do not deny that

Here are some versions of the translations. Up to now, I still don't know WHICH one is the best. I didn't listen to the clip. |: I mean these are Korean people fighting over nuances of their native language... so I didn't insert myself in that argument anymore.

On CHINCHIN

Tae Yeon: Today I really realized something. I was feeling really bad and went to the hospital to get a shot, but it was the first time I registered at that hospital. They said the doctor wasn't even there. So I asked for a shot but they said they can't
Kang In: Why?
TY: She said she can't give me a shot
KI: Why not? Do you have a shot...
TY: What was it...she had just come out from eating so she said she couldn't
KI: So it wasn't for any other reason but that she couldn't give you a shot because she was in between meals??
TY: Yes it was meal time
KI: So tell the hospital face to face
TY: She said if it was really bad to lay down on a bed for a little bit
KI: The patient is first....
TY: But if that person is a nurse and if it's really bad then she could just give a shot while I'm laying down
KI: Right.
TY: But why can't she do it? Why?
KI: Why are you being this way to me? All I'm...
TY: I was so flabergasted and in pain
KI: So did you make a scene?
TY: I wanted to
KI: You can't hold it in at times like that
TY: You know I'm timid so I timidly went about it...
KI: You saw the ridiculousness of it and just held it in?
TY: Timidly I asked how she could be like that and then timidly came out...but I really wanted to blow up
KI: If it was me I may have blown up really
TY: I was in no state because of the pain I was in
KI: So in the end you didn't get the shot?
TY: Yes
KI: Ah where is that hospital? Shall we say around where it's located?
TY: Can I say it?
KI: No don't dont don't you can't!
TY: I can't right
KI: There's a lot of talk about this show...lots of articles
TY: I'm not letting sick people go to that hospital
KI: Huh?
TY: I'm not sending sick people to that hospital
KI: It's not the hospital's fault but the mind set of that nurse and she forgot what she has to do
TY: I understand there is a lunch time

A shorter, different version:

I went to the hospital to receive a shot because I was very ill with the flu. But when I arrived, the nurse told me to just lie down and wait, because it was lunch time.

But she was a nurse, instead of telling me to wait, couldn't she have just given me a shot?

I almost caused a scene, but I simply stated, 'How could you be like that,' and left. Is it a patients duty to be sick on time?

Kangin then stated:

Tell me which hospital it was. It looks like that nurse has lost her mind. She should just eat lunch forever.

Ugh. If I explain my side in this again one more time I can't sleep anymore. xD But I still think everyone was at fault. I'm pretty sure the nurse didn't explain to Taengoo PROPERLY why she can't have a shot. And Taengoo said, "I'm sorry, it's MY fault I got sick." when nurses sent messages to the site explaining that the real reason was because in Korea you can't be given a shot when the doctors aren't there to approve of it. And it was said that doctors were out for lunch. She was being real. She was being sarcastic. I would have said the exact same things as a reflex defense mechanism if I were in her place. :|

Though I feel like if the reason for her not being able to receive treatment was given properly, she wouldn't feel THAT pissed off and she wouldn't mention the incident at all.

Actually there's more to this... but yeah maybe you can just see that if you look around. :x

And Taengoo said re Alicia Keys, "For a black girl, she's pretty huh?"

...

Which for me is ignorant but I understand that it's how her culture works. Though it is still ignorant. Wish society can shed these opinions soon. :(

THOUGH! Again with translation, it can also be translated as "Of all black girls, isn't she the prettiest?" and her tone wasn't offensive at all.

So we can't be really sure what she REALLY meant. It's just that more people think of course, that it's the former one.

I think that since Tae was sick, it makes sense that it would ave been difficult for her to understand. She sounds like she was in a lot of pain, I would be frustrated, too. People need to stop making a big deal out of everything.

I remember when JJ said something like "JunSu's butt is big. like an African's." It's not the same sentiment, but culturally Korea has those standards and it's not the first time nor will it be the last where someone says something that may seem politically incorrect to us, but will be very common for them.

[kroongho]

omg, i didn't know jj said that. that's sad too. :(

[kroongho]

wait, when did jj say that?

[hoyah]

ages ago on some program

[lovemixin]

welll.... i think the nurse is an anti xD lol..
and taeyeon could tell..
or maybe taeyeon-sshi's a little bit paranoid with all the antis going around?

but idk...

she's wrong for saying that on air because she's a public figure..
amd maybe she couldve looked for other nurses.. because its sorta impossible for all the nurses tobe on lunch break.. but then again she was sick and maybe her thinking was a bit blurred...

but taeyeon's just a person! people blows up sometimes !!! and haay, she didnt cause a scene in the hospital !!
taeyeon-sshi fiiighting !!! <33 fiiighting !

For the hospital thing, I can understand why she was mad but I don't understand why she brought it up in the radio show. I mean the situation would of been annoying for me too but to bitch about it on the radio (it doesn't seem like she even joked about it, it seems like she was still pissed) makes no sense. wow, i thought taeyeon was one of the nice members of SNSD. :(

Oh, and that really sucks she said that about alicia keys....don't get me wrong, I know in Korea and in many asian countries they don't like dark skin, etc. but it's still surprising to hear since singers like Alicia Keys, Beyonce, etc. are very popular in Korea. It's so weird and so sad to hear.....but people everywhere say dumb things about other groups of people openly too which is even sadder.
