Born in 1990, Yoona debuted as a member of Girls' Generation in 2007, releasing numerous hit songs like 'Into The New World' and 'Gee'. She also began her acting career in the MBC drama 'Two Outs in the Ninth Inning' that same year.

SM is committed to actively supporting her activities across film, television, and stage. She, along with Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, remains with SM, ensuring Girls' Generation's group activities will continue.

Bloggers praise Yoona as a representative all-rounder star who successfully transitioned from Girls' Generation's 'nation's center' to an accomplished actress and commercial model. They highlight her enhanced presence as an actress through the film 'Exit' and her expanded acting range in 'Big Mouth' and 'King the Land'. Her consistent and long-standing engagement with the public is noted with admiration, underscoring her enduring influence.
