People Think SNSD YoonA's Beauty Overshadows Her Skills: 'I thought she was just a visual member'

Every K-pop fan knows that SNSD YoonA is "Nation's Center" because of her top beauty, but some people were surprised to learn that she's not just a pretty face! 

SNSD YoonA Flaunts Impressive Dance Skills in IVE's 'Kitsch' & NewJeans' 'Ditto' Dance Covers

Following her recent dance covers, SNSD YoonA received massive praises for her dancing skills and beauty on par with fourth-generation idol.

On May 14, the Girls' Generation (SNSD) member, who will turn 31 on May 30 this year, held her "2023 HAPPY YOONA 'Wonderful Party' to commemorate her birthday in advance with fans, SONEs.

The birthday party was celebrated in person at the concert hall of Yonsei University's Centennial Hall in Seoul.

On the same day, she uploaded her photo on her official solo Instagram channel, holding a cheering banner from an event held by her supporters.

The event wasn't broadcast live, but some SONEs shared a glimpse of what she did during her birthday party.

Among the videos and photos shared on social media, YoonA particularly became a hot topic for her perfect dance covers of NewJeans' "Ditto" and IVE's "Kitsch."

In the clips, YoonA caught the eye of viewers for showing off her fresh and lively visuals wearing a pink top, ultra-mini skirt, and a denim jacket.

On top of that, she was lauded the most for her clean and on-point dance skills, giving off the vibe of a reborn fourth-gen star!

Does SNSD YoonA's Beauty Overshadow Her Dance Skills? K-pop Stans Weigh In

When YoonA's dance covers spread in various online communities and social media platforms, K-pop supporters immediately praised her for her unrelenting dance skills. Moreover her youthful visuals tend to mistake her as a fourth-gen idol!

SONEs particularly bragged about how "Nation's Center" raised the standard for a K-pop center, who shouldn't be just blessed with beauty, but with both skills and strong charisma.

While second-gen stans are aware of this, newer K-pop fans YoonA were utterly surprised to know that she's a talented dancer!

  • "Wow, I thought Yoona is just a visual member, but she has good vocals and dance skills."
  • "I didn't know YoonA was this good at dancing."
  • "YoonA's dancing skills are overshadowed by her face."

According to people, because YoonA is ultimately known for her beauty like "Ahprodite," people tend to focus more on her face rather than her performance skills.

After all, there is an unfortunate stereotype in the K-pop scene that visual members are usually those who don't have enough talent and were just added to the lineup to fill in the role of becoming a "stan attractor" and "face of the group."

In addition to this, YoonA further established her name as an actress after SNSD's hiatus; thus, younger fans aren't aware that she's an idol with top skills.

Meanwhile, in the second half of 2023, YoonA is set to make her comeback to the small screen with JTBC's "King the Land." She will headline the series alongside 2PM member and actor Lee Junho.
