Four SNSD members spotted with chic outfits at various fashion shows

The ladies of SNSD have been popping into numerous fashion events for Seoul Fashion Week, and as always, they were toasted as utterly chic and stylish.

Sooyoung was spotted at the SETEC center yesterday for the 2011-2012 F/W Seoul Fashion Walk. She was personally invited by designer Song JahEen.

Fashionistas noticed that she opted for a casual look by wearing a khaki sundress over a sheer top. Her canvas shoes and hobo bag also lent an air of relaxed fashion.

Meanwhile, Yoona, Seohyun, and Hyoyeon were seen at the MCM 2011 S/S fashion show at the Lotte Hotel. Seohyun donned an outfit that focused on textures and patterns, while giving off a youthful exuberance. Yoona played it simple and clean, but the full zipper in the front gave an air of subtle sexiness. As for Hyoyeon, she wore an ultra-mini dress that played with sleek cuts at the back.

Photoshop is barely needed

Anything different to YoonA’s photo after being edited using Photoshop?

Recently, on online community, netizens uploaded a photoshoped Yoona’s cosmetic CF photo and compared it to the original photo. Much to the amazement of netizens, there is almost no difference between the original (non-edited) and the photoshoped photo.

However, in the original photo, the color tone of YoonA’s neck is rather different from her overall skin color. With some amazing photo editing skill, the differences were minimized and the color tone seems to be more ‘natural’.

In reaction to this, netizens commented, “For YoonA there’s not even a need for Photoshop”, “How can this happen? I can’t even believe this”, “She’s really the one and only Goddess.”, etc

Yoona’s “all-kill” graduation photo

Apparently, netizens think you can “all-kill” just about anything, even graduation photos.

On an internet community board, a recent picture titled, “Yoona all-kill” has been gaining popularity, which appears to have come originally from a Japanese magazine.  The compiled images are from the graduation pictures of various Japanese idol singers and actresses, but what caught the eyes of netizens was a picture of SNSD’s Yoona.  The 22-year old is known for her natural good looks, but after seeing her large graduation picture in the Japanese magazine alongside other popular Japanese celebrities, fans are speculating that Yoona is gaining popularity in Japan as well.

Netizens commented, “This is really outstanding“, “This is truly an ‘all-kill’“, “I don’t even see the other Japanese idols“.

YoonA: Goddess on the outside, Buddha on the inside

Former trainee of SM Entertainment who entered Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Jang Hajin mentioned about YoonA in her autobiography.

While in the 3rd year of middle school, Jang Hajin was preparing to debut as a member of SNSD. In a broadcast aired on May 13th last year, when she was asked “Why did you quit the life as a trainee?”, Hajin answered, “I really wanted to study”.

Recently, Jang Hajin published her autobiography entitled ‘소원을 말해 봐 (Tell Me Your Wish)’ and in the autobiography, she talked about her special relationship with YoonA. She described her first impression about YoonA in her book, “When I met sister (unnie) for the first time, I thought she was really pretty. She seemed to look like a Barbie doll. Although she was darker back then, she looked prettier as she gave me an exotic feel to my eyes”.

Also, in her autobiography, she wrote, “I was wondering if she’s a Buddha because she was really kind and easy-going by nature and she never gossiped or spoken ill about others. Within the 3-year training period, I have never seen my sister in an argument or got angry with others. She was the ‘mood maker’ as she did funny acts like immitating gagmen/comedians as well as cheering her juniors on. She did everything the trainers told her to do and her outstanding talent shone.”, praising YoonA’s kind heartedness and amazing personality.

Netizens who saw Jang Hajin’s testimony of YoonA commented, “YoonA has goddess-like look and Buddha-like characters”, “I can’t wait to read this book”, etc.
