this is dumb but do you also sometimes feel like Yves is trying to (maybe subconsciously?) visually emulate Sulli? like some of the pictures she posts are way too sulli-esque lol

I think that's definitely possible. Sulli was a trendsetter, and her impact is long lasting - at the same time, Sulli is also not the only one who does these 'Sulli-esque' photos; many of both Yves' and Sulli's photos hark back to the Cyworld style of selfies and aesthetic, which I suppose could be analagous to the early days tumblr aesthetic of pre 2013, or even myspace (notably, Cyworld predates myspace).

Alongside Yves and Sulli, you might notice that Hyuna also, from time to time, posts photos in a similar vein to this aesthetic (though also has her unique style) - and a lot of older generation idols will often have predebut or simply older pictures in this style too. But I think there's something that is common between them, whether intentional by Yves or not.

#cyworld is also a microblogging platform like tumblr #so i think its interesting that it had an equivalent impact on korean gen mz culture #other artists ive seen do this style their names escape me sowwy #while yves' fav group was the wonder girls she was an fx stan!#ditto by nw jns also has the cyworld vibe in its mv in my humble opinion - on purpose #gowon also posts a lot of cyworld aes stuff too. but obviously she doesnt look like sulli so #mm... i think the view on cyworld nowadays is probably some kind of mix between the western appreciation of y2k/myspace aes #but while i think theres something uniquely sulliesque about sullis image since yves and sulli both borrow from the same place aestheticall #theres naturally overlap
