1. [+789, -19] When she first debuted, her eyes were so unique, she really did look like a doll

2. [+623, -17] Back then, all agencies had a 'doll concept' or two... Min Hyo Rin was one as well.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+493, -17] She was pretty like a doll during her 'Banolim' days

4. [+39, -7] I think she was prettier during her 'Banolim' days... ever since she got double eyelid surgery, she looks unnatural when she acts. SM messed up a girl who's already so pretty.

5. [+38, -2] Go Ara and Lee Yeon Hee were both SM's beauties... Go Ara was uniquely pretty while Lee Yeon Hee had that innocent, first love type prettiness

6. [+38, -5] I wish SM would stop concepts like that... Sometimes it's easier to relate to pretty unnis when you can see their charms and personalities. Why do they always tell their beauties to stay quiet ㅠ

7. [+30, -3] It's good that she left SM, Lee Yeon Hee should probably too..

8. [+28, -0] I think she's feeling a lot better lately. She's gained some weight and her acting's getting better too.

9. [+26, -4] Her personality was blinding today. How is it fair to be that pretty but also have a great personality too? So bright and positive, not fake, outgoing...

10. [+23, -3] Back then, the 'mysterious' concept actually worked ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but nowadays people lose interest in you if you don't open up ㅋㅋㅋ Meanwhile YG is still sticking to that concept ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

11. [+19, -1] It must suck to be stuck with a concept that doesn't match your personality

12. [+19, -7] As expected of SM, they don't treat people like human beings but machine products
