Hyoyeon's Bio picture (from April 2017)

Seriously? Was that the best picture they could find of her? What about all her solo debut shots? Her outfit in Wannabe was slaying! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anyexhyde (talk • contribs) 17:54, September 22, 2017 (UTC)

Kim Hyo-yeon → Hyoyeon – Obvious case of WP:COMMONNAME. Subject has never used her full name professionally is widely known and referred to mononomously as "Hyoyeon". "Hyoyeon" is unambiguous and currently just exists as a redirect to this article.

Only other option would be "Hyo", which she started using relatively recently, but "Hyoyeon" is still by far the most common way she is referred to by reliable sources.

References to "Hyoyeon" in relatively recent English language reliable sources: The Chosun Ilbo [1], Korea JoongAng Daily [2], NME [3], Maeil Business Newspaper [4], VN Express [5], NME [6], United Press International [7], South China Morning Post [8], ABS-CBN News [9],

In normal circumstances this could probably just be an uncontroversial WP:BOLDMOVE but there was a previous discussion 12 years ago that prevents this as a matter of policy - I'm surprised it's taken this long to be formally brought up again.
