Im Yoon-ah

Im Yoon-ah (임윤아), known mononymously as Yoona, is a South Korean singer and actress born May 30, 1990. After five years of training, she debuted as a member of Girls' Generation in August 2007, the girl group that went on to become one of South Korea's best-selling artists and most widely known groups worldwide. Her acting career breakthrough arrived with You Are My Destiny (2008), earning her the Best New Actress award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards. She has since built a diverse acting portfolio across television dramas including The K2 (2016), Big Mouth (2022), and King the Land (2023), as well as high-grossing films like Confidential Assignment (2017), Exit (2019)—her first leading role—and Confidential Assignment 2: International (2022). In 2025, she starred in the widely popular Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, playing a three-star Michelin chef transported to the Joseon era as the royal cook. On May 30, 2019, she released her debut extended play A Walk to Remember, charting at number three on South Korea's Gaon Album Chart. As a Gemini born in May, Yoona embodies the sign's natural communicative energy—evident in her multi-platform presence across film, television, and music. Her life-path number of 9 reflects a humanitarian, versatile approach to her craft. Singers and actors combine performance, recording, and public appearances as core professional activities. South Korea has established itself as a global entertainment hub, and Yoona's success across both music and acting has positioned her as a top idol-actress of Hallyu, with long-term endorsement deals notably including Innisfree.
