^ The problem is (in my opinion), is that she's a bit of a vocal anamoly in SNSD.
She doesn't have a cute singing voice (Sunny, Jessica, Yoona, Sooyoung, Yuri) or a big powerful voice (Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun and also Jessica) - her voice is quite husky and raw I think and it doesn't always fit with the group's songs. Also, we don't get to hear her much because she's the main dancer of the group.
But, one thing that's for sure, whenever she gets to sing live - she is always on point. She had a few lines in "Run Devil Run" and she ALWAYS nails them when they sing live.

Honestly, I find it ridiculous that she is called "main dancer" - she is ALWAYS in the back!!! And as the main dancer she should be in the front row!! Yoona's always dancing in the front while Hyo is standing somewhere behind her!

Girls’ Generation‘s Hyoyeon earned high scores for her exciting jive dance on ‘Dancing With The Stars 2 (DWTS 2)’.

On the June 1st broadcast of ‘DWTS 2?, Hyoyeon and her partner Kim Hyung Suk put on a fierce and rhythmical jive stage.

Hyoyeon who looked charming in a polka-dot ensemble flawlessly pulled off the jive despite the speed of the song, blowing away each member of the audience.

Fellow group member Seohyun was spotted in the audience as well, as she had made time out of her busy schedule to come support Hyoyeon and her partner.

Tifanny shouldn't have sung RITD. Jack would suit better for her voice.
Taeyeon should have sung RITD. She was good singing Take a Bow, but it limited her vocal ability.
SeoHyun did okay singing Jack, but it isn't a good song for her at all. Take A Bow would've been a better choice.
They slayed Cater 2 U. It was better than those other covers together.

Yoona is basically the face of the group. She is the queen of endorsements and magazines. I am not surprised that she is on the front line.
Hyoyeon isn't that underrated, everyone says she is the best dancer of the group. That's a lot.

She's always in the back because she's the "ugliest" of the group, which is a shame because she's gorgeous. Harsh but true.

She's the most beautiful! I mean look at her!! She is so unique and special - and I think thats the problem. People in Korea don't appreciate her as much as they appreaciate, for example, Yoona. Yoona's the typical Asian girl - and Hyoyeon isn't.

That's what I thought too before when I first got to know SNSD. Why Yoona is always in the middle? But then, I learned that she is the face of the group. So I accepted the fact that she will always be in front. Nevertheless, Hyoyeon had her spotlight moments, especially in the US.

And I love how SM gives them fair activities right now. Hyoyeon is in Dancing with the Stars and Invincible Youth 2. Sunny is hosting a music show, also in IY2 and her musical. Yoona, Yuri, Jessica all finished their dramas recently. Sooyoung is about to host a variety show and tp star in a drama soon. Taeyeon, Seohyun and Tiffany are MCs for Music Core and will wrap up TTS promotions soon.

So I don't think SM is unfair in giving them spotlight.

I know she's the face of the group - but why? She's the least talented among the girls. She might be a decent dancer but her voice is...let's call it "okay".

SM might not treat Hyoyeon unfairly, but most Korean broadcasters/camera men do. Instead of focusing on her during her dance breaks or when she is singing her lines, they simply zoom out our show other girls.

Blame it on the cameraman. It's not Yoona's or other girl's fault if the camera wants to focus on them.

Oh well. Enough of this stuff. The important is Hyoyeon is getting attention through her DWTS appearance and IY2.
