* YMMV on this, but considering how much flack Hyoyeon gets for being the alleged "ugly member" of the group, both fans and anti-fans agree that '''Hyoyeon can''' (and probably has) '''dance circles around the other girls''' and is one of the best dancers in SM Entertainment.

** Her solo career has done a lot better than the majority of people expected it to (for example, her song "Sober" got 2.2 million views on Youtube in just over a month, making her the fourth most successful solo artist in the group). Not bad for someone who used to be considered "useless, ugly and can't sing or dance"!

Trope cut per thread.


* Yoona being the Trope Codifier for the ''[[FaceOfTheBand center]]'' role not just among girl groups, but for K-pop as a genre. While the meaning of the role changed over time, becoming synonymous with the member of a group who ends up stealing all the spotlight by either being given flashier outfits, being the visual, or being pushed to the front, Yoona always managed to blend in flawlessly and her presence alone was enough to attract the general public's attention, to the point where her name became an instant link to the Girls' Generation brand. [[https://twitter.com/mystarmyangel/status/1562280851140153346?t=2rSAADKQ3sUJLGMCln1NCQ&s=19 People from all fandoms]] agree that she basically invented the role, to the point that fifteen years after debut she still is regarded as the best there is.
