Mini bio
How it started.
Yoon-ah entered SM’s training system through an open audition in 2002. After five years of training in singing, dance and acting, she debuted with Girls’ Generation in August 2007. She also began acting that year in Two Outs in the Ninth Inning.
A second stage.
Her lead role as Jang Sae-byuk in You Are My Destiny in 2008 introduced her to a wider television audience and brought her a Baeksang Best New Actress award. Film roles followed, including the disaster comedy Exit, while King the Land later gave her another romantic comedy lead.
Music of her own.
Alongside Girls’ Generation, she developed a solo catalog beginning with “Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway,” featuring 10cm, in 2016. Her five-song EP A Walk to Remember arrived on her birthday in 2019. She returned with “Wish to Wish” in December 2025 and shares lyric-writing credit on the song.
Time with fans.
Her YouTube channel, Yoona’s So Wonderful Day, opened in November 2020. Travel vlogs, filming glimpses and birthday broadcasts give fans another way to spend time with her between music and acting projects.
