Singer Kim Tae-yeon conveyed her passionate support for the South Korean national football team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Broadcasted on the 1st, KBS 1TV's "Gayo Stage" was prepared as a special feature to pray for the success of the national team players, 10 days ahead of the World Cup opening. Appearing on the broadcast that day, Kim Tae-yeon took to the stage after selecting the Korean folk songs "Baennorae" and "Jajin Baennorae".

She completed a special cheering stage for the Taegeuk Warriors, showcasing her signature explosive singing ability and powerful energy. Having started pansori and folk songs at the young age of four, Kim Tae-yeon made a name for herself as a "traditional Korean music prodigy" by taking the stage as the youngest performing artist at Carnegie Hall in the United States at age seven. She proved her outstanding musical capacity to freely cross the boundaries between traditional Korean music and popular music once again on this stage.

Meanwhile, on this day's World Cup special "Gayo Stage," senior and junior singers representing the music industry, including Kim Tae-yeon, Kim Yeon-ja, Kang Hye-yeon, Byol-sarang, Hwang Woo-rim, Son Bin-a, Jeong Su-ra, Park Sang-cheol, Koo Soo-kyung, and Lee Ae-sook of Koreana, appeared together, adding to the fervor of support for the national team.
