Tiffany is an American singer and actress. She is a member of both the South Korean girl group, Girls' Generation and its subgroup, TaeTiSeo.

Tiffany was born in San Francisco, California. She was invited to audition at the SM Entertainment Starlight Casting System, where she auditioned with Christina Aguilera's song "The Voice Within", and joined the company on October 2004 in Los Angeles, California at age 15. Despite initial objections from her father, she packed up her former life and moved to South Korea after receiving permission to do so within three weeks of making the decision.
For much of her early career when approached with the topic of mothers or family, Tiffany would often refer to her father or both parents; on a radio broadcast she stated that she missed her mother who was far away and she had not seen her in some time. However, in late 2009 she said for the first time in public that her mother had passed away. In 2018, she shared that her mother had taken her own life when Tiffany was 12 years old and shared that this event was what drew her to music, a past time which her mother loved.

In 2008, Tiffany was diagnosed with vocal nodules, wherein a mass of tissue grows on the vocal folds due to strain or overuse. The condition gave her dysphonia, causing a hoarseness in her voice as well as affecting the range of her singing voice. After receiving treatment her voice returned to normal, but the condition began affecting her voice even more drastically throughout the latter half of 2009, causing her to take a break from activities to receive hospital treatment in September. She also experienced difficulties due to the disorder mid-2010, a company representative stating she would be taking a short hiatus while she was hospitalized again. While treatment has been successful, Tiffany has stated that her current voice is different from her voice previous to contracting vocal nodules, although it is not necessarily something she views as a bad thing.

In May 2016, Tiffany finally made her much anticipated solo debut with 'I Just Wanna Dance'. While it did not perform well in Korea, in was well received internationally.

In August 2016, while at an SMTown concert in Japan, Tiffany posted photos on instagram which included Instagram's Japan geofilter, which was of the rising sun, a symbol which use to Koreans is equivalent to that of the swastika in the West. Due to this, Tiffany received a lot of backlash which cased her to be removed from Sister's Slam dunk, a variety show she'd been a regular on.

Tiffany left SM entertainment in October 2017 and signed under the American label Paradigm Talent Agency in 2018. With the U.S debut, she now performs under the stage name Tiffany Young and released her first post-SM song, Over My Skin on 28th June 2018. She released her first english language album, Lips on Lips in February 2019.
