You need to have something that makes you stand out and also just look like a star. Yoona doesn't have that it factor, and I don't understand how other people can see it, especially if you compare her to the other members. She is just like an ordinary girl, plain looking, not much talent in singing/dancing. I think she doesn't deserve to be in SNSD because most of the other girls have that "it" factor, or at least something that makes them unique and interesting and they all are talented in many different ways, unlike Yoona.

^ I don't have much idea about SNSD (I like their songs, but I would not call myself a SONE...yet!

), but a lot of people seem to like Yoona, because she has all the things that Asians want in a girl - very white skin, a slim, girl-like figure and a pretty personality (which is very sexist in my eyes, but yeah...!).

I think that's the reason why Yoona is so popular around Asia (I guess that's why she is called the "face of SNSD"!).
That does not mean that the other members are not beautiful, but they might appeal to the international fans more!

And in the end beauty is in the eye of the beholder...!

+1
I don't hate Yoona, but I just don't care about her, she doesn't seem appealing to me. Her personality seems blend and I don't think she's that beautiful at all, pretty yeah, but a regular pretty girl.. Well that may be because I'm kind of attracted by mysterious/special good-looking women. And I don't really like her voice so..
But anyways, this is just my point of view

AyUmIXx · #**324** 13th January 2012, 12:14 PM

anyway, Yoona is known for her great acting in K-Dramas.
her dramas are pretty much successful, "You are my destiny" and "Mr. Cinderella", so i don't think she doesn't have talent at all coz she has won some rookie award in some Drama awards too.
i've not yet watched any of her dramas though, so I'm looking forward to her new one with Jang Geun Suk.
I don't dislike Yoona too, at first I also found that she didn't really that pretty like many male fans have always claimed, but then, sometimes, i look at the girls' pictures, she's actually so pretty as well, specially when she uses make up.

As I said before I think she's pretty, and she got me into SNSD, but I didn't care much for her singing and dancing, she's a good actress though and I can't wait to see her acting at Love Rain :3

AyUmIXx · #**326** 13th January 2012, 02:49 PM

^ thanks for remind me of the title name of her new drama haha totally forgot haha XD
and anyway, she's one of the best dancers in SNSD too haha XD

y_nathz · #**327** 16th January 2012, 11:21 AM

lol no problem!
her dancing is actually not bad, in my opinion, but I'm overfocused with Hyoyeon and Yuri in case of dancing in SNSD

Tom Punks · #**328** 16th January 2012, 01:09 PM

Yoona does look sooo pretty with the right lighting and makeup. But when she doesn't, she looks kind of mannish or like a child.

She's kind of in the middle of my SNSD bias list. She's not particularly interesting, so she's not that high up, but there's nothing to really dislike about her, so she's not near the bottom either.

y_nathz · #**329** 16th January 2012, 01:22 PM

sometimes Yoona looks old, and I actually preferred her with short hair like during Genie era <3

^It's time for album listening then

How I love seeing Sunny and Narsha

They had that great sister chemistry along with Shinyoung and Yuri during Invicible Youth season 1
~~I remember how Sunny slipped through Narsha's blanket with Hyunah, and Narsha accused them of only wanting to touch her boobs~~

Midori-chan · #**337** 17th January 2012, 06:36 PM

@elaniel: Wahhh~~ you got Hyo! I'm so jealous! She is my favourite member!

I'm happy for you that all your stuff arrived safe and sound!
