    Her nose job is bugging me. I love her voice.

    her voice would be wasted on mainstream pop. it’s very very soulful. she should sing more of those kinds of songs!

    …which, incidentally, will probably mean that she will always be underrated. because in the world of kpop, it’s mainstream pop that usually rules 😦

    I actually knew about her a few months ago, she performed on music core/bank (I forget) But my favourite song from her is Smile! You guys should definitely youtube it or something 🙂
