WonderGirls SoHee doing her solo performance during the WonderGirls concert in Thailand.

Netizens felt WonderGirls‘ maknae (youngest) is over baring it. Is she?

Sometime back during their fanmeeting, there was also the talk about SoHee trying sexy too hard.

And also her recent Numero photoshoot

While a small portion of the netizens thought she looked cute here. Many were unhappy with the kind of image JYP is putting her up on stage.

Some of the comments were, “She is still a child”, “I can’t believe I’m seeing such a post here talking about this, children are also reading this”, “JYP is really crossing the line about putting the sexy image on her and making her do Beyonce. She is still a high school student; she had look so cool in the TBJ photoshoot”, “We can’t blame her for doing this image because sexy image is the concept for WonderGirls now, she can do nothing but follow”.

I don’t know. I’m confused because SoHee gives a real confusing image to me.

  1. I just think she’s getting to much media attention for no reason..
    So maybe cuz of that reason she feels pressured to be something…

  2. i miss the wondergirls so much that my least favorite member, sohee, is not even getting on my nerves one bit. even though her performance was horrible i will not complain because that is how much i miss them.

  3. 0.0 judging by the outfit and the poses, she danced to single ladies? xD awesome song
    but yeahhhhh see the pink dress and hair flips was ok, but Single Ladies is a very provocative dance that i think only After School or Son Dambi should attempt at this point in time.
    i think JYP should think things over, he has three other older girls that can flaunt it and be sexy. Stardom already makes young stars grow up quicker, why rush Sohee even more?

  4. Hrmm, she is a bit young to do those kind of things.
    Hrmmm maybe just a tad bit. Yeah.
    I don’t know why Leadah SunYe doesn’t do this
    kind of stuff. Is it because SoHee can dance better?
    But yeah. She’s pretty. Yeah, i miss Wonder Girls

  5. haha netizens so overprotective to So hee..
    i can’t denied she has the best body in WG.
    sooner or later, they wil do sexy image.

  6. JYP is dumb that’s why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i mean come on shes like young when there are older girls then her in WG ! man soooooooooo stupid ,

  7. JYP & So hee must feel be burdened by title korean’s little sister.
    As korean’s little sister, So hee should act cute &
    innocent probably in korean mindset..idk
    but she still hot at that night

  8. damn.. she’s MY age.. :x
    i agree.. they should have the older members be doing the ’sexy’ concept.. not sohee..

  9. so hee & G dragon share some common
    both of them really have confusing image

  10. yeaaaah, i think she is a bit too young to be having a sexy image.
    i’m really disappointed at JYP for putting this kind of image on her..
    tsk, tsk.

    why can’t she just act cute like the rest of the maknae’s out there..?
    like Sunmi for example.

  11. ^ she can’t act “cute” cuz that’s not her…WG are 5 different individuals, can’t expect them to be clones of each other or other groups…

    yeah i knew netizens were gonna react this way, quite understandable… but the news articles i read, were all praising her… such a contrast ^^

    i must say i enjoy her perfs… she just wears EXACTLY what Beyonce does… maybe stylist unni should change some things …lol

  12. How old IS Sohee?

    I saw that pink dress video and she was really putting out the sexy there o_o

  13. it’s alright. all girls wear like that at the swimming pool.

  14. i think she is overbaring it, to be honest. i mean, its okay i guess but its happening too fast. as a teen maturing, her mind probably thinks she is ready and so she’ll think shes ready to tackle the sexy image but the majority of the world (fan-wise) isnt ready. i say majority because i cant speak for all (obviously). so basically, its happening wayy too fast in such a short period of time. (sorta like big bang’s maknae: seungri). but it’ll soak in overtime so it isnt really a BIG problem

  15. I remember MNET said she is the next Lee Hyori about a year ago.

  16. i love wonder girls, & i also love sohee because to me she seems like an awkward little girl tryna find her place in the world & performers’ arena…
    but yeah, that’s what i thought when i saw the fancams of her solo.
    i don’t know if it’s JYP making her do the sexy concept or if she wanted to do beyonce both times…but i think it’s her because she said that she really likes beyonce.
    she must be a role model for younger kids whether she likes it or not so she & JYP reps should be careful & considerate about these issues when they project her (as well as other wonder girls) image.
    she has plentyyy of time to grow into the sexy image…she doesnt have to do it now when she’s only 16 years old…look at hyori…she’s 30 or so and she’s korea’s sexy queen ’cause she’s around the prime age to be sexy…whereas girls at sohee’s age acting “sexy” can cause some people to feel like pedophiles…
    anyway, she pulled off a pretty good performance. i know fans were impressed.
    but yeah…even though there’s free expression & she cant be expected to act “cute” when she really doesn’t like it or whatever…she should still tone it down.
    even though i’m a fan, i still say this because i feel weird as an unni watching someone younger trying to act provocative or whatever.
    when youre older, youre gonna wish youre younger so take your time….NOBODY LISTENS TO THIS ADVICE ANYMORE eish. i’m not that old but compared to her i am, so…
    anyway…yeah.

  17. even though sohee’s my least favorite member, she doesnt seem to annoy me that much cause im suffering from wondergirls withdrawal just like ’supp’ haha. i don’t think this performance was JYP’s idea. if you’re a wonderful like me you probably know that sohee is a big beyonce fangirl. i believe she chose to do her solo to a beyonce song just like she did during their 2nd fanmeeting. however, JYP does come up with the girls’ concept so i guess you could kind of blame him. but then again i think all the girls suit all the concepts he’s had for them so far so its all good. anyways i think sohee just wanted to pay tribute to her idol. although it wasn’t all that great hehe i don’t think she’s overdoing it. i mean come on i’ve met younger and sluttier girls lol pardon my french (: in my opinion, sohee doesn’t act cute on purpose like she’s putting on a front or something. people perceive her that way because she’s just naturally cute, she doesn’t even have to try. i think she just wanted to show people another side of her. she might look cute on the outside but she’s actually mature. give the girl a break. she just wanted to have fun and entertain the audience.

  18. definitely overbaring it. If she was legal, i wouldn’t give a damn. Like..if Miley Cyrus would wear smth like that, the whole world would call her a slut.

    imo, yoobin, ye eun and sunye can handle sexy tastefully.

    ps. her single ladies perf was h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e.

  19. Yeah, JYP needs to tone it down with her. He’s trying too hard to be an American, and this “sexy” image is really popular over here. The only thing is, JYP, people who do this ARE NOT HIGH SCHOOL KIDS. Beyonce: married, 25 or 26, I believe. Britney Spears: 27. Even Lady Gaga is 22. There’s a difference between American artists doing this and Sohee doing this and it’s mainly the age factor.

  20. OH-EM-GEE you used that scary milklippic again XD
    scares me still o-o

  21. Well i think SoHee is very comfortable doing the sexy route (even for they’re first fan meeting when they were still new, SoHee did a pretty sexy dance). If shes comfortable with it, i see no problem, i think Sohee feels confident dancing than singing which is why she try’s hard.

    Also with the Numero shots, that’s 100% not SoHee’s fault, its the stylist for that magazine, they had a certain image they wanted her to portray (i dunno, its look awkward/sexxy/nerd image maybe…) and as a professional Sohee did so.

  22. She looks like she’s doing the single ladies dance in one of the pictures ._.

  23. I think they have a say in what they want to do for their solo stage. I doubt that JYP says Sohee you are going to do Beyonce, it’s probably more like she suggested it, and then he approved. Most singers do the artist’s that they like or admire for their solo stage.

  24. @ddalgi

    hahah.. ok i shall heed ur advice… ^^

  25. i just want 2 say that So Hee she’s want 2 be sexy anyway , i like her & i love Wonder Girls no matter what ^_^

  26. goldengaze

    you hit the spot perfectly. *applaud

  27. shes doing beyonce again ? hmm … i wonder imma see her at friday wg tour xD

  28. i think she CHOSE it to get rid of her “cute” image, because i’m a fan, and i know her personality is NOT cute at all; it’s quite mature actually.

  29. there’s so much negative talk towards the WG now.. sohee should be able to do w/e she wants to do. numero photoshoots usually make their models look super goofy or strange or unusual. don’t they? i’ve seen GD’s numero photoshoot.. & sohee’s looks alot more normal to me, haha. anyways, it’s good to see their still active! & sohee looks hot! ^^

  30. the disturbing things are the numero uno photos x__X
    panties & bra on the outside ? that’s a big no no !! it’s not sexy but more like creepy. but the other ones where she’s performing to beyonce is not really that bad though.

  31. I think if that is what will make her a confident performer than she definitely won’t be considered overbaring.

    Many people critisize her singing but she is really good at dancing. She feels the most confident than.

    She is looking up to Beyonce, the outfit was as close as it could get to Beyonce’s single ladies outfit.
    The pink outfit wasn’t that revealing, and she looked really great in it.

    If she was cute wouldn’t it be really really boring, because that is what you expect of her.

    And she does sexy good too so other than being cute off stage, her sexy aura is really good too on stage, it does make her performace more captivating doesn’t it?

    I don’t think she is over doing anything much, she is a performer after all.

  32. I think she’s trying to hard. All she can do is follow the herd, she needs to say something to make a difference. Many people at her age aren’t even doing this stuff. I can’t believe she gets all this media attention. I hated her pics of the Numero photoshoot. Is she doing this to make her look cool or showing off she can be older than her actual age? Even SunMi unnie doesn’t do this stuff. I think she should stick to her “cute” image because being “sexy” isn’t her thing. She also needs to start talking in interviews and laughing and actually smiling, because she’s kinda giving herself a bad image. I know they may feel pressured to do this, but they should actually prove to the people they are wrong to say and do what JYP wants them to do.
