On the March 31 broadcast of SBS's 'My Ugly Duckling', special guest MC Girls' Generation's YoonA discussed her idol career.
MC Shin Dong Yup brought up the topic of idol group members and their respective positions, asking, "Each member usually has a specific position. What was your position, YoonA?" YoonA shyly answered, "I think I was in charge of visuals. So I was in the center." Embarrassed, YoonA couldn't hold in her laughter and added, "I don't know if this is okay..."
The studio members then attempted to give each of the 'My Ugly Duckling' mother panelists a "position". Park Soo Hong's mother said, "I was told that I have aegyo for the first time in my life after I started this program." Kim Jong Kook's mother added, "I'm in charge of smiles", and Hong Jin Young's mother remarked, "I'm the cute maknae." Tony An's mother was then coined as the mother in charge of adult humor jokes, and she responded with laughter, "That's right."
Later on, YoonA also recalled an embarrassing incident from her Girls' Generation promotions. "During a stage while we were doing a choreography move where we have to sit down, then stand up, my pants ripped. I was flustered and tried to keep my movements as small as possible, barely getting through it."
Netizens said:
[+2,791, -367] When I think of girl group centers, I think of Yoona first. I think the whole 'center' thing started because Yoona became so famous as the center.
[+1,376, -218] Girl group center Yoona! It's fact that the idea of centers was created because of Yoona .
The center is a big responsibility, The center must be The most multi talented member with the most radiant and powerful vibe, not just to be the most attractive or most beautiful. YOONA invented the center. she is Nation's Center. she is the Best Center, Visual and FACE.
