1. [+68, -11] After seeing her on variety shows, I can see why Yoona's so popular. She's a really bright person and pretty as well.

2. [+62, -6] She's not only #1 in SNSD but I think overall for the girl groups last year. I saw some report where she came out on top. Considering that SNSD's been acting and starring in CFs even before their debut, they're probably idol chaebols by this point.

3. [+53, -7] Even the least earning member in SNSD probably earns more than all of the top  members of Dal Shabet, Rainbow, and Nine Muses combined.

4. [+48, -4] Even the least earning member earns at least $6-700,000 USD a year. I remember a former SM employee who transferred to Mnet said in an interview that when they hit it big with Gee, each of the members received about a million each that year. Ever since then, SNSD's Korean sales was the same as TVXQ and Super Junior's combined.

5. [+27, -0] Yoona could probably top every girl group with just her CF and acting income alone. Combine that with the event fees they share and their concerts... SNSD's #2-#9 earners would still probably earn more than any other idol group.
