i've seen tons of pic showing her tanned skin but i'm not that satisfied. hahaha :)) i don't know i just see her as a white skinned girl :))

yeah, that's true! :)) they don't just put make up on their faces but on their legs too. :)) to cover up their bruises. :)) i saw a pic of Yuri having lots of bruises on her legs, poor Yuri :( saranghae~

ehr, i've seen & heard in an interview and Yuri said it herself that, she and other members get their bruises while practicing their dance like the famous leg dance in Genie? their legs sometimes hit each other :))

yeah, well their practices are now showing their fruits now. :D

Gorgeous ♥
