Honestly, I didn't know what a visual was. I still think its a crappy idea. I think they are all pretty but I don't really like saying who is a visual and who isn't because 你 are basically implying that this person is 更多 pretty than everyone else.

Wow I never thought of it that way...that is a great point, but sadly, a lot of people are famous for there looks and not much 或者 nothing else. I agree with 你 completely that it is unfair to have one person be labeled as 更多 pretty than the others. I just thought this would be a fun thread! :)
I think I agree with you. I'm still not sure what they mean 由 'visual' in this context. Is it just another way of saying 'the face of the group'? Because I can sort of understand why they did it, but I don't see it as necessary. There are a lot of girls, so if 你 present one, then it might be easier for some peopel to become attached to her, then transition 更多 easily into liking the whole group. For me, though, I felt that they put Yoona in the center because she had a very plain look (I don't mean that in a bad way.) I think she's pretty, but she doesn't stand out as much as the others. So, when she's in the center, I think it's easier to subconciously look at the whole group, instead of just the one person in the middle. Hope this makes sense.
"I would they had a memeber be a representative of a particular region 或者 country rather then just a "visual" concept". EXACTLY 你 just 说 everything. what Koreans may found pretty, other people from other countries, won't. when people told me that Yoona was the visual i was like wtf? the same thing happened to my friends, when i told this about Yoona. they all 说 "but why? Hyoyeon and Sooyoung are the prettiest"
none, cause i didn't know there was a visual in every single group. i was still new to kpop
but i can say that i find Sooyoung the prettiest since their debut. and of course when people told me that she was considered one of the least attractive members i just couldn't believe. i was in shock xD
later, i discovered 更多 about korean's ideal of beauty and i understood why she was always at the bottom of people's lists, even though i still don't agree with them and i never will. what koreans find the most attractive i usually find the most ugly, like Sohee, Jessica, Seohyun, Hyuna, Uee etc
I didn't know there was one but at first glance I thought Yoonyulhyun were the prettiest. Now I think it's Yoona, Tiffany, and Jessica that are the prettiest but they are all pretty. Yoona's the face because SNSD's main goal is to appeal to Asians. Yes, they want to be 流行的 in America too, but the first priority is Asia, and Yoona is considered to be the prettiest in Korea, Japan, and China. Maybe in 欧洲 it would be Sooyoung 或者 Hyoyeon and maybe in America it would be Tiffany 或者 Jessica but they are an Asian group so it makes sense to choose the ideal Asian girl.
