Uh where is Hyo in the IY2 pic for the Honorary Ambassador? Anyway congrats to them for getting that awesome title. Congrats my girls for being the #1 best selling kpop artist of 2011 on Yesasia Yamchu. 2012 is also going to be another amazing year just like how Korean S♥NEs wrote on the white paper. I have faith in S♥NEs. The selcas are so adorable, Sica is gorgeous, Yuri is freaking sexy and congrats on #1 poll. Sunny so adorable and sweet.
