Her fans however, are still photoshopping her face next to Yunho's and Siwon's on wedding photos. They're also putting together slideshows entitled Yungi (Yunho + Seul Gi) or Sigi (Siwon + Seul Gi) onto youtube.

Bae Seul Gi like Beyonce says on the DirecTV commercial seemed to have upgraded a little when she teamed up with the cosmetics brand ELLITA recently. ELLITA came up with a new line of products named after her, and her role reportedly was crucial in the making of the line, which is "infused with Seulgi's own makeup expertise." The line is also supposed to have colors that emphasize personality.
