The personification of grace and class.

lol, those are troll subs. after i turned them off, i understood a lot of what she said. she is so classy ♥

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

it's interesting to hear her thoughts on kpop and what she perceives as the dangers of kpop. it reminds me of how changmin feels bad about/doesn't want to be responsible for his fans "wasting" their lives away

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

lol those transcribed subs are never right, it's like comedy within a video.
i think, mistakes aside, I got everything she said. I wouldn't have been able to say anything due to nerves but she was very composed. I am very proud of her for being able to communicate in english in such a short period of learning.

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

Ia with you completely. She was really composed and graceful (for lack of better words) when she spoke and the way she started her speech... ♥ From the way she spoke and the sentences she worded/prepared, she did seem to have a strong understanding and grasp of english. She makes me admire her so much.

Oh my god she is so adorable.

[lobotronic.livejournal.com]

omg can she come to my school?

[sandritablue.livejournal.com]

Sunye is such a flawless queen! i felt so proud of her while i was watching this. :'(

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

omg sun plz take a field trip to omona & be a guest speaker

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

I bet we could get some semi-relevant people if you guys tried tbh, all you'd need is an @omona email address to look legit, lol

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmmmmm..... gmail was enough to snag the unstoppable chad future, but i'll see about this.

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

i expect an omona booth at kcon 2013!

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

we should have thought ahead and sent a representative cause chad said we would finish our interview backstage. he just didn't say which backstage & when. oops :(

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

hahaha aww. Really though, you could have cause now I'll never know what he was going to say on the second one. I'LL NEVER KNOW.

all you need to do is request passes. I bet if you offer people press passes as omonoa representatives they'd take pictures and write reviews as long as you credit them. They get to go for free and you get original content :) a bunch of other sites do it.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

that passes idea sounds like a lot of fun. it would be a nice way to reward members who make daily posts all the time too.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

You should be a mod tbh.

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

no way, then i'd really never get out of here lol

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

she looks so qt here and her english is really good. classy goddess fills me with emotion

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

omg sunye she did so well ;;

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

also i can see why sunye is very rooted in her faith. she understands the responsibility one has when they're in the public sphere so i can see how trusting in a higher being to guide you to make good decisions can be comforting.

[dotdotdotting.livejournal.com]

Such an inspirational woman ;~;

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

I really liked what she said when it comes to issues in kpop and young kids being idols.

[soramai.livejournal.com]

What she says is very interesting. I also don't like when idols debut too young.
And she speaks english very well, I understood everything even if it's not my native language.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it is, but she's so lovely.

She needs a talk show- like a real one, not a variety show are anything, but a show where she's connecting with ordinary people and sharing in their experiences. I think she's be wonderful in a job like that <3

[xredada.livejournal.com]

Omg she is just soo precious and her English is perfect. It was a great speech.

[akasuke.livejournal.com]

im impressed. she was good and yeh she was nervous. but who wouldn't be, speaking in front of soo many people you dont know

[fairyfay30.livejournal.com]

She did a very good job! :)

[simplyobessed.livejournal.com]

i love her, shes so adorable n flawless.

[drownanddive.livejournal.com]

Perfect leader is perfect. <3

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

wow she is so awesome! I love how great her english has gotten and all her points about the harsh realities of kpop. I think it's going to reach a tipping point where too many kids are trying to become idols and then get ripped off. What a great speech!
