Article: Clara "Almost debuted as SNSD, I always regret rejecting SM"

Source: Newsen via Nate [allkpop article here]

1. [+1,099, -28] I think there could be an entire company of kids who almost debuted as SNSD

2. [+898, -77] Everyone and their mothers almost debuted as SNSD ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is SNSD a name that easy for you to say????

3. [+656, -48] If she was offered when she was 20, SNSD at that time was already 3-6 years into their training and practicing 'Into the New World' for their debut... How in the world can you connect receiving a business card from SM to SNSD?

4. [+77, -6] This has to be a lie. I remember she said before that she never got any work done and even asked netizens to find her past photos so a journalist got pissed and found a photo of her 8 years ago before she got breast surgery and released it as an article. She also said her ex-boyfriend as a top star but it ended up being Kim Jong Guk. ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+70, -12] She lies every time she opens her mouth~ As if we'd believe this~

6. [+56, -3] A truck full of girls who almost became SNSD

7. [+53, -2] They should take all these members and create a group out of them... 'Almost SNSD' group name

8. [+40, -0] She lies too much

Article: Clara "I was cast by SM in the past, I almost debuted as a member of SNSD"

Source: Newsen via Nate

"When I was going to school in America, I was cast by an SM casting director. I even met up with Lee Soo Man and was close to signing a contract. My mother, however, wanted me to go into acting and my father faced too many difficulties with his own singing career so I wasn't able to sign the contract."

1. [+349, -18] I bet you could fill an entire tour bus of just women who "almost" became SNSD members

2. [+235, -28] T-ara Soyeon always went around saying she almost debuted with SNSD too ㅋㅋㅋ Anyone can call themselves an almost member but it's really only Lee Yeon Hee and Go Ara that have any credibility since they're both in SM as actresses now.

3. [+184, -50] Everyone and their mothers say they could've debuted with SNSD ㅋㅋ Do they think SNSD is just an easy name to throw around like this?

4. [+41, -8] Clara's 32 years old.. I highly doubt she was even considered for the SNSD line-up.

5. [+36, -2] She's too old.. and I bet there are at least a thousand other girls who were cast for the line-up.

6. [+27, -1] I was almost a Seoul University student too. Almost.

7. [+23, -1] I remember Yunho saying that when he first contracted and went in, there were at least 100 other castings that could've been potential members ㅎ

8. [+15, -8] If kids like Sooyoung and Sunny got into SNSD, I don't think the standards are that high ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
