Following multiple controversies that 4th-gen idols are getting themselves embroiled in, SONEs brought up SNSD Sooyoung's past actions that they think most likely wouldn't make her last as an idol if she debuted in the current era.

On this day, a fan account shared SNSD's video dancing to "Gee" to commemorate their 14th anniversary since it was released in 2009.

As soon as it was uploaded, the video amassed about 1M views while the post surpassed 2.5 million views, becoming a hot topic among SONEs (SNSD fandom).

In context, the video created a buzz, thanks to Sooyoung for drawing laughter. There, she was standing throughout their "Gee" rehearsal performance, barely dancing. She even had her sunglasses on and blanket, with her expression unbothered.

In contrast, YoonA and Taeyeon were seen dancing enthusiastically in the background.

K-pop fans made various comments on the throwback clip, such as:

• "Such a queen!"
• "Sooyoung literally said 'screw rehearsal, I can perform this even with my eyes closed.'"
• "Iconic!"
• "Sooyoung is so me when I have to work."

SONEs Explain Hilarious Reasons SNSD Sooyoung Won't Last A Day If She Debuted As 4th-Gen Idol

When the video circulated, SONEs thanked Sooyoung for debuting early as a 2nd-gen idol. The reason? Her "Queen behavior," which was taken as a joke by older fans, might be misunderstood hugely by new fans if she was introduced in the new era.

Starting with the viral clip, people claimed that Sooyoung would've been canceled for "lazy dancing," although it was just a rehearsal.

BLACKPINK Jennie, IVE Jang Wonyoung, ITZY Lia and more were all criticized for allegedly dancing lazily, just because they weren't giving their all on stage.

In fans' defense, Sooyoung was, at that time, already in her 8th year of career and a member of "Nation's Girl Group" when the video was taken; thus, she didn't really have anything to prove regarding her skills.

Fans continued that Sooyoung would probably be kicked out of her group for "bullying" co-members, such as when the idol posted a birthday greeting to Yuri. At the time, Sooyoung posted a recycle bin with the label Yu Ri (translated as glass in Korean), teasing the idol with the same name.

While SONEs brushed this off as a friendly and regular banter between the two, they said that 4th-gen fans would most propbably blow things out of proportions and dig past interactions between the two to create more drama.

However, SONEs commented that with Sooyoung's unbothered personality, she would probably make 4th-gen fans not last a day instead.

In fact, when her "PARTY" fancam went viral for her rehearsal apathy, Sooyoung didn't bother to explain herself, but rather called out the fan who took the video without their knowledge.

To explain this, rehearsal fancam and videos weren't popular at the time yet; thus, Sooyoung thought they won't be filmed.

When a fan stepped out and claimed that it was them who took the video, Sooyoung jokingly responded:

"You've got a problem."
