Song Yi is arguably the most complex of all her band members, so there are seemingly many contradictions in her personality until you look close enough to see the layers. Song Yi can be very confident. She has no problem interacting with people right away, and she has a way of rolling with the interviewers even at times people find themselves cringing of second hand embarrassment from the off-topic questions. She, on the other hand, manages to brush things off as jokes if she doesn’t want to discuss it or answer them, with an ease that is admirable. She is always with a attitude that screams ‘think what you want of me, I don’t even care’. She also seems more than comfortable with going out on her own, or spending time by herself. This suggests not only a ease with getting along with anyone she meets, but a self assuredness that she can enjoy what she’s doing on her own - and that’s a sign of maturity. In the same way, however, Song Yi can sometimes be very insecure.. She has a very visible outward confidence and she has an ability to charm people in both a friendly and flirty way and I don’t think she’s shy in the slightest. But, she has a lot of “am I good enough” moments. We can see it almost everyday if we spend a lot of time with her, in the way that in every interview when she’s talking she almost always looks to the leader as though she’s seeking confirmation that what she is saying is alright. She seems like she needs someone there telling her “yes you’re right, you’re ok”. So, because of that, insecurity would make her need to be surrounded by affectionate people that can reaffirm the fact that she’s not going to be left alone and that she IS good enough. People find  interesting that a majority of her friends are boys. I personally don’t think it has anything to do with the fact that she is afraid of being friends with a girl!  I think it has more to do with the fact that boys are typically more openly affectionate with their friends, so they would offer more hugs and “I love you’s” and more deep and personal conversations, which is what she needs to feel connected and important and just needed. One of the most interesting things about Song Yi is who her friends seem to be. If you look at whom she spends most of her time with it’s generally a much older crowd, not talking about her group members, of course. This sort of lifestyle, living beyond her years and hanging with a crowd all in their late twenties or older and seemingly so natural at dealing with kids I think this say a lot about her personality.

She seems very ready to be an adult; especially in the emotional sense. In a lot of ways though, Song Yi seems to be dominated by these emotions. She is very impulsive, she seems to have a tendency to act upon her initial emotional response. In multiple occasions we can see  her giving in to sadness, jealousy (in getting almost moody when a certain member’s attention is off of her and onto someone else) and many times crying on stage. Song Yi is  someone who is not afraid to recognize her emotions and isn’t one to try to hide them or force them down. She’s  easy to read; she wears her emotions on her sleeve clear and open for anyone who takes the time to notice them. She is also very empathetic, she is able to identify her own emotions and  can also easily identify those emotions in other people. In the same way she responds really well to what people need in the moment, and it’s this ability, which I think is part of why people so easily grow fond of her,  the strong ability to empathize, is typical among people who are comfortable with children because they are able to respond to the child’s inability to vocalize what they need, and she can do that, since she deals with a lot of baby cousins in the family. On a slightly negative side, her impulsive tendency to react to emotions can also get her into trouble, because I think she wouldn’t shy away from calling someone out when she was angry, or at least failing to disguise her anger, or upset etc. On another negative note, it can make her  very vulnerable to conflict because sometimes she seems to lack the ability to understand why people don’t think the way she does and see things the way she does. Song Yi doesn’t  like to be in charge. It makes her feel closer to people if they are the ones demanding something of her, and her being able to give to!  It gives her  the security and feeling that she has made them happy. In this way I believe this reflects once again to her ultimate desire to feel needed and wanted and why she admits to being attracted to confidence. It’s impossible to overlook the fact that Song Yi simply has that “it” factor. There isn’t much to say on the topic, because it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what about her it is that draws people to her the way that she does. And yet it’s pretty hard to dispute the idea that she seems to be the crowd favorite and in a lot of ways I don’t think you can narrow it down to one or two characteristics. She’s Han Song Yi - a normal person who is just good at being famous, whether she intends to be or not.
