Sunny and other guests were asked by a viewer whether she should use her entire savings in order to augment her chest or to go off on a trip to Europe. Though Park Ji Yoon and comedian Kim Sook advised that it was best that she spend her money on surgery, Sunny took the other side.
The Girls' Generation member said, "I think it's better to go to Europe. When you go to Europe, you'll see a lot of people who wear clothing that works for them regardless of breast size. I think it's better to go to Europe and gain more confidence as well as experience. I think natural is better."
What do you think of Sunny's advice?
