When f(x) were asked who was the representative member on variety shows, they all voted Krystal.

Host and comedian Yoo Se Yun apparently fell in love with Krystal’s chic personality as well as he stated, “Since opening, she’s stared at her own shoes,” explaining that he was surprised at the way Krystal did her own thing. He went on to say, “She just gave me a look that I should stop it. I think she’s going to rip up the script in a bit. Don’t tell your Dad on me. I’m sorry!” causing laughter in the studio.

Viewers of the show commented, “At first I didn’t like it, but the more I see her flaws, the more cute it is,” “Her genuine reactions are addictive,” and “I laughed so hard because of Yoo Sae Yoon.”
