Dae Sung and Ye Eun, the unlikeliest idols in this world

July 24, 2008 by coolsmurf

“The most unlikeliest idols in this world!”

This was what I (the reporter, not me) felt after watching SBS Family Outing variety. Could it be I am getting on or not knowing Big Bang well enough? But I never thought that Big Bang would have a member like this.

What I meant was having a wide range of emotions, friendly, kind-hearted “ultimate idols”. Ye Eun of the Wonder Girls is the same. They are not “fake” and extremely candid. They don’t act cool but are very straightforward.

That’s why both Dae Sung and Ye Eun are in the upper echelons of our “ultimate idols” ranking and are our focal point this week.

The biggest reason behind idol groups ending up being boring is because of the “idol groups = good looking guys/girls”. As these young boys and girls look and pose for the cameras, seemingly asking, “Am I pretty?”, your curiosity and concern just ebbs away. These idol groups look extremely unnatural as their bold and mysterious actions aren’t befitting of their age.

Dae Sung and Ye Eun are however direct opposites. Even though they might look plain compared to others in their group, but they are able to display the energy and personality that a 20 year old youth should have. Dae Sung singing his trot song “Look At Me, Gwi-soon” and Ye Eun’s candid personality onstage and offstage. Whenever we see them, confidence just ebbs out from them.

Dae Sung
Real name: Kang Dae Sung
DOB: 1989

Ye Eun

Aww, Ye Eun isn’t plain looking. -___-

Koreans have to stop regarding their standards for beauty as the “plastic surgery perfected” type. I guess looking like your natural self is plain. @_@

This article is kind of a good and bad thing. It both compliments and degrades them. >__>

there cute (:

I think YeEun knows her weaknesses,
that’s why she works so hard to be memorable…

I sometimes felt like she acts herself out a little too much and over SunYe’s roles…

but she does helps her group a lot though…
on July 24, 2008 at 12:21 pm Kari

The reason why I like these groups is because they really aren’t that “I’m so adorable and perfect” type. I feel that I can actually relate to them. Groups that are “hot” and “sexy” are too fake…
on July 24, 2008 at 12:34 pm kk

what is wrong w/ these people these days! i like park yosa as well as i like all the other members of wonder girls!

I love the WonderBang .
They’re just so. down to earth!
They’re so chill. and they don’t act like stuck up pop stars.
I also love the couplings that happened in the WonderBang collaborations.
YeSung…?
SeungMi
Toobin.
Although I’m not exactly sure who Sohee and SunYe should be paired up with..
SunYe and TaeYang were really hot in their collab. perf.
But the whole leader of the groups thing is so cute.
But I think I like SoYang.
And SunDragon. hahahahhh.
Just cause TaeYang looks really good with Sohee.
But anyway!
I love YeEun because of how she is and who she is.
She’s different but in the good way.

thanks coolsmurf
on July 24, 2008 at 12:44 pm YeEun_Lover

thats why they are perfect for each other.
on July 24, 2008 at 1:02 pm whoo

aww cutecouplingg<3
anyways yes yeeun is confident and has good speaking abilities but sometimes i feel like she tries too hard to stand out and tries to form for herself a leader vibe..
but you already stand out yeeun with your wonderful personalityy. dont changeee! :]
on July 24, 2008 at 1:35 pm keshpie

i really love wonderbang!
yeeun is so cool and real, you know.
you get a warm feeling just by looking at her, same with daesung.

wonderbang is so perfect!
on July 24, 2008 at 1:51 pm keshpie

@ 4. jaime

omg i remember the hug!
how cute was that! haha
on July 24, 2008 at 3:40 pm saranghaex3

omg i loveeee yeeun. i think she’s my favorite one in the WGs because she’s just like me; i can relate to her.
and this article was kinda confusing; what is it pushing? what’s the main point?

i know… i’m stupid. please explain! D:
on July 24, 2008 at 6:46 pm lily

awwwww, Ye Eun is very beautiful ^^
on July 24, 2008 at 7:26 pm Gerard

They’re awesome!

Anyway.. I thought WG wasn’t gonna promote “So Hot” anymore? I just saw them on MNet Countdown.. They won
on July 24, 2008 at 7:32 pm Bert

LOOK PLAIN? _l_ WHOEVER THAT SAID THAT!
on July 24, 2008 at 8:11 pm iqwoo

WonderBang!

YeEun couple, is official!
on July 24, 2008 at 8:55 pm hong

i disagreed with this part

“Even though they might look plain compared to others in their group”

are Korean people blind? i mean come on ye eun look just as pretty as her other member. I mean she like BEAUTIFUL and her look is not plain at all. I mean Daesung maybe is true but ye eun tho?

but whatever WONDERBANG forever and finally someone noticed that they always get pair up with each other.
on July 24, 2008 at 9:18 pm kjpop

ROFL I love this wonderbang couple xD

but man, Park oppa isn’t getting a break at all @___@ she’s receiving so many blows everywhere. Not cool.
on July 24, 2008 at 9:22 pm IluvYubin

How strange is it on the backstage video of that musical, ye eun had her arms around that guy LOL..and she like pushed him away when HaHa came bursting into the room with a camera o.o;;

They look good together, I dont really like big bang but yahh they’re ok. ^^
on July 24, 2008 at 9:25 pm IluvYubin

And ye eun I think is the most ‘average’ one in WG, she is very beautiful but not really the kind of beauty you see everyday in Korea. ^^
Sohee is the cutie pie, sunmi has that adorable angel smile where her eyes turn into half moons lol, and sunye’s image is really different, she has a really warm look, then theres yoobin who is just beyond sexy, gorgeous, stunning and beautiful, she’s just WOW….lol XD

Ye eun is average among the other girls in Wonder girls, but she’s def. above average in comparison to normal girls. =O
on July 24, 2008 at 9:27 pm kjpop

^ Agreed. I think her hairstyle made her look sooo much hotter nowadays haha.
on July 24, 2008 at 9:38 pm Mellerz

Daesung and Ye Eun . my favorite Wonder Bang couple =)
this must be a sign , let Ye Eun go on Family Outing ! =D
on July 24, 2008 at 10:02 pm GiGi

I’d just like to point out “age: 1989″. xD She’s 1989 years old? :O Wow! But seriously, Ye Eun is not average looking. Yes compared to the rest of the WG she may not be as mind blowing, but she’s definetly not average either.
on July 24, 2008 at 10:05 pm YooBin

Dae Sung is my Favourite of Big Bang ~
even G-Dragon look like a girl-dream or whatever and he have the most fans…I am totally against the dream boys everytime XD
dae sungs smile is more cute as from the other members

and Ye Eun was one of my favs of Wonder Girls ~
I dont like her red hair at all but she is still so pretty and she have a normal girl-body ~
all other members look like they dont eat (but I still like all of them (haha))
I think other people just think Ye Eun is kinda fat cause they see sun mi and so hee beside her but Ye Eun have great body :]

both are so great :3
on July 24, 2008 at 10:34 pm Nuguya?

lol “Special Skill: Eating”… love that xD
on July 24, 2008 at 11:00 pm wongen

ye sung!!!! Wooot.
on July 25, 2008 at 1:32 am Janice

Yeah!! Ye Eun its nice… very cute ^^
on July 25, 2008 at 2:28 am Leila

Really? They think Ye Eun is plain-looking??? =/
That’s odd, when I first discovered WG, I thought she was the prettiest, with her cuteness and elegance and her exotic Asian sort of look (not to mention, that beautiful HAIR and that mesmerizing, genuine SMILE). No lie, that’s what drew me towards her at first, but then I got to know them all more and she is STILL my fav DUE TO that wittiness, boldness, and confidence they perceive her with. Not to mention, she’s laid-back, yet VERY intelligent, and in my opinion, the most talented singer out of WG, not saying that the other girls aren’t great as well. <3
And Dae Sung. Don’t get me started on him. I love him to BITS! hehe DD That exquisite smile of his says it ALL. hehe
Anywhoo, I’m glad these two are getting more recognition (they’re both my favs out of their respective groups), because they definitely deserve it. =]
AND on a side-note, they make an ADORABLE couple. LOL.

so did they just notice that?? i’ve known that ever since i heard of daesung and ye eun. both are so cool, outgoing, lively, caring and cute! omg they are my favorites in each group and my favorite pairing. daeeun<3!!!
on July 25, 2008 at 3:44 am Jen

Yeeun is definitely not plain looking. She looks even more gorgeous now with her hair but i like how people are finally noticing her personality and such and how great she really is
on July 25, 2008 at 6:36 am Mari

Why would Ye Eun be considered plain?
She was the first Wondergirl that ever really stood out to me. Something along the lines of a classic beauty. Honestly I think that Sun Ye would be the most “average” even though she’s very pretty too. Either way I love her and all of the Wondergirls. They should be noticed more!
on July 25, 2008 at 7:48 am WG:D

aww they would look cute together x] <3

on July 25, 2008 at 10:40 am WONDERBANG

omg she is so not even plain shes really pretty
beatiful to them is having a tiny face, plastic perfection, double eyelids & big eyes..
gawd asians wouldn’t be asians with out the slanted eyes.. -__-

Ye Eun You Rock Girl!!!!!!!!!

I love WonderBang, they are like the best group pair!
on July 29, 2008 at 1:18 am ShimHanNeul

I really adore Wonder Girls and Big Bang.
They are one of my favorites in Kpop.
Actually Daesung and YeEun have been receiving unpopularity rate but both of them are really talented.

YeEun and Daesung are my truly favevorites from their repective groups. I know both of them shine in different way compared to their other co-members.
on August 8, 2008 at 7:41 am ari-girl

ye eun is so not plain lookin compared to the rest. she has such charisma and she really does ooze confidence. i like her because she seems very sure of herself and she doesnt seem big headed or cocky in any way at all.
as for daesung, well he’s jus hilarious. and he really does show a range of emotions. and ‘nickname: jong kook’ HA!

on October 20, 2008 at 8:05 am kk

They just think she’s fat because she has the other members that are skinny, and she has to compare to them. But for her age in this world she is skinny compared average girls. So in a way she is skinny, its just that the other members are skinn-eir.
on November 11, 2008 at 11:28 pm SoHee's Mine

they’re cute together :O
on November 28, 2008 at 8:21 pm k-holic

ye eun is beautiful! she does not have typical korean girl looks,she have that kind of classic look. she’s my fav member! actually wg,all the girls are pretty. i don’t know how the koreans define the plain.

and daesung. he have that angel smile and also dorky personality! his vocal=super. to me , i don’t think looks or appearance is that important. daesung my fav too!

on July 5, 2009 at 12:54 pm hi =]

LOL, the second picture of “WonderBang Tell Me + Lies Music Bank Special Stage 071228″, GDragon looks like he’s checking Ye Eun out… XD That title sure was misleading, but it was good article :]
on August 1, 2009 at 4:35 pm Kerry

Korean people are strange.. I don’t think Ye Eun looks plain at all. She has a cute face and a very sexy body, people think she’s fat sometimes because (i) she’s compared to stick skinny Sun Mi & So Hee and (ii) Ye Eun’s naturally fairer than the other girls. We all know dark skin gives the illusion of more muscle tone.

I prefer Ye Eun’s shapely body much, much more to SoHee or SunMi’s stick insect figures.. Korean media must be blind!
on October 22, 2009 at 2:11 pm mia

They are also very close. They attend the same university and are good friends on- and off-stage. Actually, there was this incident where dae sung admits he receives and sends back text messages from a girl idol group member. We all speculate it’s Ye Eun. ^^
