I think that's the prettiest Yoona's ever looked. Just gorgeous. She's major thinspo for me.
I lived in Korea for years. I want to put it out there that these bodies come from hard work. Overall, Korean's have smaller frames than Westerners, but they tend to get heavy, particularly for Asians, and most of my Korean girl friends had either lost a large amount of weight during/after high school or were still dieting. Also plastic surgery and injections to make muscles smaller are huge over there.
Also, Girls Generation always has a VERY restrictive diet leaking out and then their company will immediately say, "No! They stuff their faces all the time! Yoona's a shikshin!" While I think that they're all healthy and certainly eat, image is huge in Korea and they're just trying to promote them as "girls next door but better".
FYI because I want everyone to know that these bodies aren't just "natural", they're achieved through hard work and you can do it too.

800 Calorie Diet of SNSD: This was the first diet revealed by a trainer on TV. Then there was a shitstorm in teh Korean media and Girls Generation's company (SM Entertainment) immediately said that it was BS and that the trainer was new and didn't know what he was talking about and that they actually eat 1200 calories a day. I call BS on that bc no way would they have allowed him on TV if he was a new trainer. It had to be signed off.
Officially revealed diet plan in Feb 2011: SM officially released this plan last year mostly due to pressure from the public after one of their members lost a TON of weight very quickly and obviously had a problem. Lately though, all the girls are spewing lies all over TV about how they eat more than men and live on junk food. No offense to them, I know that their company is making them do it.
Can you tell I'm obsessed with GG? Love 'em so had to jump in this thread.
