Another year has gone by, and Seohyun grows up a little more with each passing day. Though SONEs had gotten used to calling her “Seobaby” since she was the youngest, lately fans have started calling Seohyun “Seolady”, because of how elegant she looks in photoshoots or events that she attended throughout the year. Some of the magazine photoshoots include “CeCi”, “1st Look”, “Elle Girl”, “Nylon”, and “@star1″, as well as the SM Fashionistas photoshoot. Seohyun also attended the “2012 F/W Burberry Prorsum Fashion Show” at the invitation of Christopher Bailey, the creative managing director for the show. These kinds of opportunities have been great for Seohyun’s development, both as an entertainer and as a person. Seohyun herself has mentioned that because people think she lives a very “narrow and proper life”, she isn’t able to express herself comfortably and that she would like to experience a variety of new things to break out of that perception. Even her members will help out on occasion, such as forcing her to have her first “bomb shot” when she loses a drinking game.
Of course, Seohyun will always be Seohyun to SONEs. She is the youngest member of Girls’ Generation, but she possesses a maturity that would make people think otherwise. A smart individual who is capable of learning very quickly, she even became the first contestant to achieve a perfect score on SBS’s “100 Million Quiz Show”. She is also a talented musical artist who is willing to explore possibilities, which she got a chance to do with Girls’ Generation – TTS. Seohyun even released a duet song titled “Don’t Say No” with Yoongun, an R&B and Soul singer from the group Brown Eyes. Seohyun also released an OST song for “Fashion King”, called “I’ll Wait For You”. Alongside Taeyeon, Seohyun joined Tiffany as an MC for MBC’s “Show! Music Core”, and because of the wonderful work she’s done, she even will emcee for MBC’s annual Gayo Daejejun. Above all, Seohyun is an outstanding person who became an ambassador for not only the KRPS (Korea Retinitis Pigmentosa Society), but for the UN 2012 Yeosu Expo as well.
To put it simply, Seohyun is an amazing role model and was able to accomplish many different things in just one short year.
