1. [+526, -35] Honestly, despite being the best dancer in the group, she was always placed in the back for her looks and had to suffer through weird nicknames for it. I get why she was mad. Other comments are saying she has no shame to be complaining about that but she never said it was unfair, just that it angered her. That's a totally acceptable emotion.

2. [+406, -38] She deserved center for her dance skills alone, she was that good

3. [+318, -27] Who wouldn't cover the center spot...? Hyoyeon's just being honest. It's great that they shared though ㅎㅎ

4. [+121, -89] She's a lot prettier now but her nickname used to be Hyorc back then. She has no right to be mad.

5. [+65, -5] I remember she talked about this on 'Happy Together' a long time ago. She said she was used to being famous since her choding trainee days for her dancing and she was confident in it... only to end up debuting and being treated as the side member while dealing with criticisms about her looks. That would upset anyone.

6. [+29, -19] Let's get one thing straight, Hyoyeon-ah... being a good dancer would make you a back dancer, not a singer ㅡㅡ

7. [+23, -5] She's not pretty like Yoona, not a good singer like Taeyeon... She needs the bare basics as a singer which is to sing well. A good dancer is just a dancer, not a singer. If you can't sing, at least be pretty like Yoona but she's neither this or that. Why would she deserve center?

8. [+17, -4] She should be grateful she got into SNSD at all, how could she say this... now that makes me mad. Why would she get center just for being a good dancer?

9. [+17, -23] They gave Hyorc a role as an SNSD member and now she's the one who's mad ㅋㅋ...

10. [+15, -3] Let's be real... if you were SM's CEO and your job was to make money, why would you give Hyoyeon center when you have a member like Yoona? There is no financially sound reason to put Hyoyeon as center over Yoona...

11. [+15, -4] Honestly, for girl groups, it doesn't matter how talented you are in singing or dancing, it's all about the visuals... visuals are 80% of center roles

12. [+14, -5] Center ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ she's greedy

13. [+13, -7] Didn't SNSD get famous for Yoona and Taeyeon? The other members had that homely, girl-next-door vibe... Sunny and Hyoyeon should be grateful they got into SNSD at all...

14. [+11, -2] Why whine about it when you were just never good enough for the position?

15. [+11, -2] Well her face back then looked very different from now... honestly, she wasn't fit for anything but the side... hmm..
