I’ve never said this before, but I have three favorite SNSD members. To be honest with you, I don’t believe SNSD is a bad group at all. They might be very sugarplums and fairies, but in the end the group knows what they want, and they get it every time. Their formation is always clean and the vocals aren’t half bad and plus in every ajusshi’s eyes you can’t go wrong with 9 beautiful young gals. With that said, my three favorite girls are Sooyoung, Taeyeon, and Seo Hyun. Why? These three are naturally cute and innocent and I don’t sense a hint of arrogance when I watch them on variety shows.
Seo Hyun & Sooyoung recently were guests on “Quiz Changing the World,” where they show Jo Hye-ryeon how to pose to reveal a longer leg:
Excuse me, while I go practice this pose. Damn my short legs!
I dislike SNSD, but Sooyoung is so adorable. <3
And I’m glad the girls get more airtime and exposure compare to earlier days where it’s always about Yuna.
I’d kill to have Sooyoung’s legs. Seriously. Mine look like the woman next to her in that video clip. I’m 2 cm taller than Sooyoung yet she’s 100x more gorgeous.
Good thing that i finally read an article here that is not biased against them..
i also like sooyoung, taeyeon, & maknae seohyun…as you said their naturally cute, but i also like yuri because her beauty & charm just blew me away.. (i’m a girl lol)
i dont like SNSD but i find them entertaining to watch because they’re beautiful hahaha. my favorites are taeyeon and jessica. they sing well and they act themselves, no need for the whole cutesy shit. they are who they are.
hyoyeon doesnt get much attention, it’s so sad.
taeyeon and sunny are my favourites.
and i like sooyoung too. she’s funny and yuri is really pretty.
you notice the guys were oogling at them while they were performing that lil bit. lol;
I like them because they don’t afraid to be a bitch (Jessica FTW). People can hate all they want, but SNSD girls is the first who can speak their mind and being goofy on tv (while bickering with each other openly).
I kind of like snsd but I don’t know why I dislike DISLIKE taeyeon she’s so arrogant even some snsd fans started to hate her |:
Taeyeon has got to be my fave member from snsd. she’s always been the one to stand out talent wise, though she isn’t always perfect. I find her to be sincere and halirious just like Soo Young. those two need to be a comedic pairing together.
She shouldn’t be showing us how to elongate our legs.
Her legs are long to begin with!
that tomboy cat walk was really funny
I love Sooyoung, sad she’s sort of underrated in Korea ):
The only people i like in SNSD are Sooyoung, Hyoyeon, Yoona and SeoHyun.
TBH i’m not a fan of Taeyeon (her racist remark was a turn off).
But i think she’s REALLY funny. I’m just not a fan of ANY leaders of groups lol (except for Jaebeom)
at first i didn’t see what the big deal was with Taeyeon, except for her voice. But now, I find her hilarious. She isn’t afraid to be her goofy self. I find it cute.
@orenji: I have to agree with you!
Honestly, I like SNSD because they are the ones who act like ‘normal’ girls would act (cute? bitchy? fun? goofy? yeah they got them all)… while this behaviors may cause them a lot of problems, but at least all the nine girls are being themselves.
I-dont-give-a-f***-just-let-me-sleep Jessica, pervy/dorky Taeyeon, hilarious bully Sooyoung, cute-yet-so-fierce Sunny, hyper prankster Yuri, adorable bitch Tiffany, camera-shy jokester Hyoyeon, tricky oddball Yoona, and the innocent perfectionist Seohyun… they’re so much fun to watch, imo.
HOW ARE YOU BORN WITH LEGS THAT LONG!?! JESUS. T^T
sooyoung’s body line is actually the prettiest out of all the members. too bad she’s not recognized more often like tiffany..
taeyeon not arrogant?
puh-lease
i used to not have a problem, but her reaction to pumashock and the who racist issue isn’t something to forget
@ itsme
absolutely nailed it :)
lol at “i-dont-give-a-f***-just-let-me-sleep” XD
@o.O
if you’re talking about the “she’s pretty for a black person” comment, i put it down to ignorance more than racism.
i’ve spent long enough convincing my extended family that black people aren’t the stereotypes they see in hollywood movies or the borderline rapists in the american army during the war. all it took was getting to know my well-mannered british-nigerian buddy from school to visit (my 14 y.o. vehemently racist cousin wants to marry him now).
taeyeon’s an entertainer who’s lived in korea all her short life. she has a firm stereotype fixed in her mind, not necessarily of her own doing. she compliments pumashock’s appearance with suprise, showing she can appreciate black beauties and has become more open-minded, not like real racists who think the entire race is bad full-stop.
her comment was definitely regrettable but not malicious. i guess its because native koreans are so prevalent in korea and not enough foreigners are about to interact how they feel. it’s only when you become the minorty and witness racial abuse from the receiving end, like some of us living in the west, you appreciate how others feel.
wasn’t taeyeon’s “racist” remark misinterpreted?
Anyway, taeyeon is one of my favourites because i find her very naturally goofy that it’s so likeable, then i like jessica because her bored face on variety shows is pretty funny to watch but if you pay more attention to her she’s not cold like she seems to be. of course i like sooyoung too for the same reason up there.
@ >boom
“it’s only when you become the minorty and witness racial abuse from the receiving end, like some of us living in the west, you appreciate how others feel.”
couldn’t have said it better, a person will probably only learn how racism, or even stereotypes affect a person when they are the minority in a situation, for taeyeon, i still find it hard to like her now–she used to be one of the only members i could stand, but I don’t know if I can get over that one statement (i know i am stubborn lol)
BUT….I love sooyoung, sunny, jessica, and tiffany (the only ones i can sort of relate to lol)
That racist comment was proabably not intended maliciously. But I’ve always been taught in school that “ignorant” racism can be just as bad and should not be tolerate. East asians in general can be quite racist in their respected countries. but unfortunately Taeyeon is a celebrity and role model for some people. As a celebrity/public figure she didn’t get enough punishment, but as a human being she got too much. I like to think her reaction to pumashock’s vid was more of a remorseful one. She was reminded of her past statement and thought it better to keep her mouth shut about it incase people went at her again.
”my three favorite girls are Sooyoung, Taeyeon, and Seo Hyun”
Oh… so you like racists? interesting……
Sooyoung. <3 The girls are awesome. Actually, I think their earlier shows, like Girls Go To School and MTV eps, weren’t actually all that interesting, but these days they’re all a ball.
Ah, the racism issue being brought up again. I have to agree with the people up there; too much exposure to casual racism from relatives. It’s a disappointing and lowering way of thinking, but yno, with the relatives and with Taeyeon, you love them and you know they’re good at heart, so you try to forgive them and move on. I think it’s really revealing that she made the comment on a show with 2 other people, and there was no pause, no break, the other 2 didn’t skip a beat or say “No, she’s pretty for a person of any race”, or “Many black people are pretty”, or “This black person is also really pretty”. Korea screamed for an apology for the doc/nurse comment, nothing for the racist comment, although intl fans/netizens thought the latter much worse.
Anyway. Ellie, I’m surprised, I’d have thought you’d like Jessica/Yuri more.
@Selene ”hyoyeon doesnt get much attention, it’s so sad”
TOTALLY AGREE TT_TT
I agree with you about the favourites! Plus Sunny, for me.
And I also agree with “itsme”. There is a large number of them, so I guess they don’t do individual monitoring of the personality they show in public as much as it was done to BoA, CSJH, other singers/smaller groups. Honestly, it’s almost sexism how much SNSD is bitched at. I also agree with everybody attributing Taeyeon’s racist comment to ignorance. East Asia is very homogenous in terms of ethnicities, and I’ve also had many relatives make casual racist comments to not only people of other colour, but also asians of other nationalities. Stereotyping is quite horrible, but since most of my relatives have never left their home country, they haven’t been able to relate to other races other than what they are shown on TV. Hell, they’re even borderline-racist against me, since I’m considered a “Westerner”. Of course I agree that people have to learn to be open-minded and understanding… but shouldn’t forgiving Taeyeon be part of being understanding?
and lol @ sooyoung’s tomboy walk XD
when i first saw Sooyoung [which wasn't too long ago, but it was before Genie came out] i really didn’t like her lol. I saw her in the show where three older women were trying to make an imitation thingy for Gee, and she kind annoyed me lol. But now i really like her. I think she’s really pretty and funny. As for Seo Hyun, i always found her so pretty and cute! idk, she’s just adorable. They’re my two favorite from SNSD.
I have conflicting emotions about SNSD.
While I like some of their songs, such as Gee (very catchy, but I still dislike it a bit) or “Tell me your wish (Genie)”… and I think they are extreamly funny, I have a hard time overlooking their behaviour. While it can be excused because they are young or know no better, some things are just rude and stem from arrogance (how they Tiffyany, I think, treated her elders and Taeyeons racist comment) and shouldn’t have been repeated again and again. You’d think you’d learn not to piss people off the same way you did the last time, haha.
They are very talented and attractive. But their (occasional but reapeated) ignorance/arrogance turns me away from the group.
Like I said, I have conflicting emotions.
PP.S- This girls legs are beautiful…and already long. She doesn’t need to attempt at making them look any longer, haha.
i totally agree with boom,why? for one as someone who personally knows racism as i have personally felt it on a number of occassions myself growing up. the who taeyeon remark was pure ignorance rather then racism.
I tried to like SNSD many times but I really can’t. There’s something about them that I cannot bring myself to like. Anyway I agree about Sooyoung and Seohyeon. They look like a nice person but Taeyeon….. I do sense her arrogance a lot of time. I don’t know about others or maybe I’m just biased but you try look at the clip when 2NE1 won Music Bank and see that face of hers.
I’ve always liked SNSD. They’re very genuine in their emotions and aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds.
Rumors of SNSD being arrogant and rude all branch from anti-fans giving out half truths and whole lies or sometimes just lies. Anyone who watches SNSD at their rawest times knows that the girls have a lot of love for each other and are really kind-hearted, goofy, sometimes pervy xD, and are grateful for what they have.
T_T Sooyoung your legs kill me. Why can’t mine be like that?
I do take tips from Sunny, Taeyeon and Tiffany who strive their hardest to not look short lol
heels and insoles yo~
HAH. Mine are Sooyoung, Yuri and Sunny xD
Like some, I can’t get over that comment that Taeyeon made. Intentional or not, it’s still something that bugs me and I don’t think I’ll ever see her in the light.
Fav. member is Sooyoung and Yuri ^^
Sooyoung just says whatever the fuck she wants, Seohyeon has no personality so… and Taeyeon is genuine. So I totally understand what you mean when you say that :) SNSD jjang! I love all of them though haha but Don Jess is my favorite.
-sLaVe
I know the whole “racist comment” irked everyone up. To me, I really thought it was no big deal seeing how no none made a big deal with SeungRi said something racist as well.
I gotta say, no one is perfect. Taeyeon isn’t perfect, neither are we. Sometimes we say things that are not appropriate to the whole nation but at she apologized, forgive her… or is this another “reason” why antis say that to hate on SNSD? I don’t think she meant it that way as it was blown out of proportion.
Anyways, I like these girls as they’re always being themselves, they aren’t afraid. Some may say they are “fake” cause of their personality, but that makes them real. They aren’t afraid to show their real selves. Watching them on variety is hilarious as they remind me of my friends and I. They are girls, so they act like girls. Sometimes I think SNSD is the female counterpart of 2PM as they act goofy in front of everyone and so on. I like all the girls since they each have their own different and unique personalities.
btw, I think everyone wants Sooyoung’s legs.
she’s lucky to have great legs and a pretty face.
taeyeon got me liking snsd in the first place, so she’s still one of my fave members..
i don’t know if i can attribute her remark to ignorance, per se– she obviously grew up exposed to the Korean ’standard of beauty’(pale complexion, high nose bridge, small face), that she would not find dark complexion all that attractive. (would it be called jumping on the homogenous bandwagon? i wonder…)
but if you’d heard the audio, i believe her remark was not intended to be malicious..read this transcript somewhere:
090112 Chinchin Cut Transcript:
Kangin: I love Alicia Keys
TaeYeon: Me too
Other guy: Especially because of her pretty face, right?
TaeYeon: For a black person, she’s really very pretty.
Kangin & Other guy agreeing.
(Audio Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?1me5qmdnrng)
and the pumashock thing~ wasn’t it assumed by antis with ESP? :D they judged based on facial expression, right?
that aside-back to this article~
sooyoung’s legs are naturally long T_T would her advice work on short people? and if that pose -does- work, i don’t believe i can keep that pose while walking or standing normally T_T curse you, short legs!
my favs are kwon yuri (girl has sex appeal), taeyeon & tiffany. And I don’t know why some fangirls hate them at all. Honestly, i think they’re the most “real” girl group out there.
I only like SooYoung, YuRi and TaeYeon
The rest, probably need more publicity(except YoonA!!!) or need to revise on their character..
yea you are the right only the three are innocent and dont act cute. the others do. so annoying.
Sooyoung, Yuri, Hyo and Seo Hyun for me. <3 SOOYOUNG FTW!
don’t like her, SeoHyun, YooNa are my fave =)
I love Taeyeon. About the racist remark… meh. I agree with what >boom said and some others. It’s blown out of proportion and if only the westerners give a little bit of their heart to try to understand how it is like to be in the minority, i think the world will be in peace. It’s not that she said Keys was ugly anyway, she was complimenting her for goodness sake!
I’m a minority So i know. Asian.
I also like Sooyoung a lot.
I find other girls to be pretty typical
but I really love Sooyoung’s personality.
