1. [+601, -48] I read her thoughts on beauty standards and I thought she had a good head on her shoulders for how young she is

2. [+446, -40] Soohyunie has the most angelic voice

3. [+379, -20] Byung Jae has a lot if he has 500,000 too ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+57, -1] But she hit 200,000 subscribers with two make up videos off of her fans and general popularity alone and then easily hit 400,000 after four videos. You have to admit that she earned those numbers really easily due to her popularity, not her skills as a singer. This is how all these celebrities jump into launching YouTube channels. They just have to launch one and can do whatever they want like talking videos, eating, or make up and get easy subscribers. They also get ads so the money is really easy, even if their video quality is low. This puts the creators who are working from the bottom up with actual content at a disadvantage. They're basically fools. There's greater worth in copying celebrities and others in today's world so of course being a celebrity is the career that maximizes that potential.

5. [+21, -19] While all the other celebrities were still treating YouTube like C-list content, Soo Hyun saw the early potential the platform had and even asked YG for help with her YouTube channel.

6. [+19, -23] How can she be a beauty creator when she looks like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+18, -13] How can am ugly kid have beauty as her content?

8. [+17, -10] I see a lot of comments calling her ugly but I think she looks so natural and cute compared to the faces with excessive surgery these days

9. [+16, -2] She's not just another YouTuber who's using her celebrity status for views. Her video quality is not bad and I can tell that she's doing it because she genuinely likes it. And off topic but I love her voice and I like her even though she's not super pretty or anything.

10. [+14, -2] I think her singing has improved even more
