Yoona's Predebut Video:
"Our role models are SES: Yoona"
"As the majority, my role model was SES as well. The debut of SES was about 10 years before,
when I was entering elementary school. It seemed so nice seeing them singing and dancing on TV.
I would always think, "I really want to become like those unnis." From then on, whenever there was an event where one could showcase their talents, I would go and perform the SES dances.
Thats how I came to have the dream of becoming a celebrity, and in 6th grade of elementary school, I auditioned and began my trainee life.
A little while ago I was on a set with Bada sunbae, and I told her the story that SES was my favorite and that they were my idols.
But she didn't believe me, she said that I just said it because we met on the set ㅠ.ㅠ"
