I like her songs.

I LOVE her voice.. I really like her best when she is singing with her guitar...

True, it's mostly her and her guitar when she does those covers.

First time I saw was in a variety show called Heroes. They kept mentioning that Marshmallow song, so I went to listen to it...I stopped 30 seconds into the song. lol

2011 KBS Gayo

She's so talented & gorgeous! She's gonna do so well in the future <3
