On Oct. 25, Stephanie appeared as a guest on "Video Star," where she talked about her former label mates, Girls' Generation.

During the show, Stephanie revealed she used to be the dance trainer of Girls' Generation, adding that Hyoyeon was the most talented among other members of the girl group.

"Hyoyeon is such a talented dancer.  That's why even during performances, I always trusted her and left her in charge. I had that respect for her," Stephanie revealed as per Allkpop.

She added Girls' Generation's Seohyun was not so good in dancing, however, the member was able to cope up by practicing and following her co-members. "At first, she was so timid and quiet to the point I wondered if I should put her in or not, but she worked amazingly hard and followed everybody else."

Just this year, Stephanie announced she is leaving SM Entertainment after her contract expired. The former The Grace member reportedly chose not to re-sign with the label, and has decided to work solely with Mafia Records, Soompi reported.

"Stephanie's contract with SM Entertainment came to an end on May 15. Starting from May 16, she will be promoting solely with Mafia Records," a representative of Mafia Records announced.

Stephanie made her debut with The Grace under SM Entertainment in 2005. In 2012, Stephanie made her solo debut after her group went on a hiatus. The 29-year-old idol released her first solo album titled "The New Beginning" that features three tracks.

In October 2015, Stephanie dropped her first mini-album called "Top Secret" with its title track "Up, Up" featuring L.joe.
