On November 28, JTBC's 'Ssul Jeon' talked about the female celebrities who were known as "the nation's younger sisters," such as IU and Suzy.
'Ssul Jeon' got the ranking for the female celebrities most considered the nation's younger sister for the last five years. IU came out in first place with 49.5% while Suzy came out in fourth with 5.6%. The gathered data also showed that IU's connection to being the nation's younger sister was decreasing bit by bit every year. In addition, after her SNS scandal, her male fan base had decreased greatly while her female fan base had increased.
Heechul revealed, "In the case of IU and Suzy, they aren't really interested in being the country's younger sister . . . They feel burdened by it . . . IU had even said to me, 'It's been a while since my title as the country's younger sister ended.'"
Kang Yong Suk said, "I don't think that Suzy's agency is pursuing the image of nation's little sister," and the others agreed, saying miss A never went for a particularly cute image.
Park Ji Yoon said, "As Suzy is not intentionally creating the image of the nation's younger sister, I think she is most naturally transforming into the mature image."
The remainder of the list had Moon Geun Young in 2nd (17.6%), Kim Yuna in 3rd (13.1%), Park Bo Young in 5th (4.8%), Sohee in 6th (2.1%), and Son Yeon Jae in 7th (1.6%).
