Hyoyeon of flawless 9 (not Nine Muses) is most popular overseas

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

The ladies of SNSD who are now international Hallyu stars recently spoke out on who they feel is the most popular member overseas.

On the episode of ‘Golden Fishery – Radio Star‘ that aired on the 9th, the MCs asked the girls, “Korea has their own individual tastes, and New Yorkers have their own styles as well. Which member had the most appeal to fans overseas?”

Member Jessica voted Hyoyeon as the most popular member.

“Hyoyeon went through a lot in the past,” MC Kim Gura said, and Jessica further added, “Hyoyeon reacts well to the fans when they cheer her on. She gives back with her powerful dance moves… She connects really well with them.”

Leader Taeyeon was asked the same question, but she instead chose member Sooyoung as the most popular member overseas.

She is popular because she is pretty by overseas standards and not by Korea's batshit cray cray standards not because of some fucking dance because obviously that would've worked in Korea as well imo. Hyoyeon should come with automatic flawless tag. This should become a Hyoyeon appreciation post

Is yall surprised this isn't a AA post lmao i'm waiting for Kimchi to spam more pics you guys

[nortonamo.livejournal.com]

Is there even a Hyoyeon in 9 muses?

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

no lol

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

IA completely.

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

I think international fans are more supportive towards the less popular members in Korea (Sunny, Sooyoung, Hyoyeon).

No doubt she's pretty and a great dancer but her outspoken personality is why I love her the most. Suits my New Yawker taste^^

I really don't get why she isn't well liked Korea, and if it's really based on looks, that sucks. :/

I had liked her before, but after SMTOWN I became a fan of hers~ She was smiling and being super sweet to the fans, I remember seeing her waving to the crowd more than actually dancing.

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

She is flawfree~!

And yeah, it is because of looks. Which is unfair and ridiculous, because imo her looks are quite great.

[kaorutenshi.livejournal.com]

I don't really know whether she's that popular internationally, but I can tell that she's usually the one SNSD member who's loved by the non-SNSD fans I know (as le_belle_vie mentioned). Probably because of her personality? She seems like an interesting person, different from most idols, idk, I feel like it's somehow similar to what happens to Key (I've heard that he's the least popular SHINee member in Korea, but I know LOTS of international non-SHINee fans that care about him). But maybe this is my bias showing. e_e

But well whatever, Hyo is forever my flawless baby. ♥

Queen Hyo~ oh and of course taengoo would disagree with jessica R.I.P taengsic

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

Flawless 9 can only pertain to SNSD, and ONLY SNSD, tyvm.

About Hyoyeon, it's def because of her looks that made her unpopular to Korean fans :/, w/c is a really sad, sad thing. It's a good thing to know that, coming from Jessica, people overseas see more than meets the eye. Although to be honest, I never felt the truth that Hyoyeon has more supporters. I'm not a true SOne but me and my colleagues here look closer to either Taeyeon, Yuna, or Tiffany.

so dam precious, the new eyebrows really frame her face a whole lot better

[mentality34.livejournal.com]

am i the only person who sees that she didn't just change her eyebrows? :|

[geniebsmart.livejournal.com]

Hyoyeon~ <3
Flawless dancing queen XD
But I can see why some people disagree that she is the most popular overseas. Either way, she still rocks LOL!

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

I can definitely agree with Sooyoung. When I showed my brother and another friend SNSD stuff, they both immediately liked Sooyoung.

hyoyeon's not popular in korea because of her image. from the get-go, sm made her out to be this charismatic, powerful, almost masculine dancing queen while the rest of the members took on a cute, pretty, lolita-meets-supermodel concept. so, most snsd fans who find the cutesy girl attractive don't connect with hyoyeon's style, and those that find hyoyeon's charisma more their thing don't find the rest of the 8 girls all that attractive or talented and therefore never invest in snsd as a group

[drownamydrown.livejournal.com]

Iawtc. Very good point.

[mazical-djinni.livejournal.com]

dance them h8ers off hyokween

[kris-kt.livejournal.com]

I don't understand why koreans don't find her pretty, she's really pretty and prettier and person !!!!

idaf about SNSD but for some reason i like hyo. like i watch SNSD performances JUST to see hyo. which is depressing considering how little camera time she gets anyway.

and i think it's because she's not considered desirable for guys by korea's standards. she's too tough, too bold, and not innocent enough for them. she's probably the only member with more female fan than male fans. i feel like hyo could be my friend, or something and i dont get that vibe from any of the other girls...except from maybe sooyoung?

but yeah, hyo is the best.

[bunny-lita.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

[kissayumi.livejournal.com]

Well Tonight I will tell you about my Adventure. I was in the SMTowns and The Snsd the living whore was worse of a banshee scream. i run for the stage at full speed ahead but as i reach the stage a man graps me. i yelled at the snsd i told her she will not run for i will kill her. i will get her one day.

[violetrosie.livejournal.com]

She should be at the top of everyone's list. She's pretty much got it all, and if there's something she's lacking, she'll work hard until she gets it.

When I say she's flawless, I'm not using it casually. I mean she's just that.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

she's lacking in terms of modeling tbh. and also attempting to look frail and innocent such that oppas in korea would want to take care of her.

aww i love seeing more articles of Hyo <3! I subbed that part of the video if anyone's interested ^^

[kjdlk.livejournal.com]

But Taeyeon said Sooyoung. Can we make this a Hyo/Soo appreciation post? :)

Not 100%, but I don't think this was shared in the SMTown NY posts.
