Understanding Im Yoona, 
Innocence and Purity: An analysis. 

In SNSD, there are two specific members that have often been misunderstood. The first is Yoona, SNSD’s resident choding. Unlike what people perceive her to be, Yoona is a child at heart. She has this contrasting exterior image of being quite girly, sophisticated and glamourous. This is probably derived from her label of being the ideal girl of many people all across Korea, Asia, and even the rest of the world. However, beneath this calm demeanor, Yoona is quite tomboyish and what it seems like a child trapped in the image of an adult. Her extraordinary strength, alligator laughter, flounder expressions, ssanti actions, evokes that breathtaking sense of innocence and purity that surrounds Im Yoona.

See, each nine members play a strong role in what we call Girls’ Generation. Whether it is being the leader, lead vocalist, lead dancer; each are significant to the establishment and successes of the group. Im Yoona plays the center role. The visual, so she’s been described. At first glance, the center role might seem quite easy, not consisting of much effort at all. However, in reality, the center plays a vital role to the successes of a team. In a team sport, like basketball or soccer, the center player determines which team receives the ball. 

Over the years, several people ubiquitously claim that she is overrated. Questions like, “Why Yoona?” has been the subject of much undeserved controversies. As the center player, understandably she receives more exposure at first. Like Jessica said, because of Yoona, SNSD has become a group that is loved by the older generations. In today’s context, we can see that each member receives equal time in the spotlight. A noteworthy event is when SNSD attended the SPAO fanmeeting with Super Junior. Yesung and the other Suju boys placed Yoona in the middle. However, she walked away and stood next to her members. Despite that, she kept coming back to stand next to her members. This is Yoona. A girl who treasures her eight sisters above everything else. 

As a body cannot function without one of its vital organs, without one member, the dynamics of Girls’ Generation as we see today will also be different. Whatever role Taeyeon, Jessica, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona and Seohyun play in SNSD, it is crucial to the foundation of Girls’ Generation. 

So let’s ask again. Why Yoona? Well, why not? ^^
