Controversy Sparks: Is Yoona Really a ‘Beauty Legend’?

From the very beginning of her debut, Yoona (SNSD) garnered significant attention for her pure and charming visual. After 17 years, the idol and actress is still considered one of the most beautiful goddesses in the entertainment industry.

However, recently, a post questioning Yoona’s beauty has become a hotly debated topic on South Korean social media. The post, titled “I feel like I’ll be cursed for saying this, but is Yoona really beautiful enough to be praised as a legend?”, expresses doubt about whether Yoona would be considered a “legend” if she weren’t associated with the iconic group SNSD.

The topic has stirred controversy on social media, with some arguing that Yoona does not deserve the title of “beauty goddess.”

The author of the post expresses skepticism about Yoona’s suitability for the title “beauty goddess.”

Immediately after being posted, the article garnered over 94,000 views and many mixed comments. Some agreed and compared Yoona’s visual to other stars: “How should I put it? She’s beautiful and resembles a young deer, but quite plain,” “I agree, Yoona is really beautiful, but there are many other women who are even more beautiful,” “Personally, I think Suzy has the best visual,” “I think among the 2nd gen idols, Suzy and Sulli are the most beautiful; Nana is also prettier than Yoona.”

On the other hand, many people criticized the post as an attempt to belittle the SNSD goddess. They posted numerous beautiful pictures and comments defending Yoona: “This is clearly a post meant to insult Yoona. Everyone sees her as a goddess,” “It’s likely that the critics are just jealous of Yoona,” “Yoona shines brightly even when surrounded by others,” “She has a beautiful, radiant appearance, and her personal life is clean, so she deserves praise.”

Yoona’s full name is Lim Yoona, born in 1990. At 17, she debuted with the “nation’s girl group” SNSD. From the start, Yoona quickly gained popularity for her outstanding beauty. In addition to her music career, Yoona is also a talented actress, making her mark in numerous dramas such as You Are My Destiny, Love Rain, The K2, Exit, King The Land, and Big Mouth.

However, her beauty has been the subject of controversy several times, with most mixed opinions suggesting that Yoona is not as beautiful as she is praised to be; rather, her visual is pleasant, and her team knows how to promote her effectively.
