SNSD member Yoona is considered one of the most successful idol-turned-actresses in Korean showbiz 

Yoona, a member of famous Kpop girl group SNSD, made her acting debut in 2007, and nailed her first major role in late 2008. 15 years later, she’s considered one of the most successful idol-turned-actresses in Korean showbiz, and her list of projects and co-stars are clear testaments of this. 

Yoona already has visuals, talents, and popularity, but it is her determination that is a main contributor to her acting career. Instead of seeing acting as just a side hustle and cash grab, Yoona strives to improve herself through every work. 

From 2019 to 2021, the idol-actress has garnered enough of a reputation and standing, to constant star alongside the most handsome and well-respected Korean actors, and below is a summary:

Regarding the small screen, however, Yoona only had one project – the JTBC series “Hush”, where she collaborated with the senior and respected actor Hwang Jung Min. 

It was perhaps by working with these experienced and talented co-stars that Yoona started to show remarkable improvements in her acting skills, and was able to pull off all sorts of genres, from comedy, romance, social issues, to artistic films. 

As a result, the idol-actress received immense critical acclaim, with Best Actress nominations in Baeksang Arts Awards and Blue Dragon Film Awards. She is also the first idol-actress to earn major nominations in all the “Big 3” award ceremonies of Korea, for 3 times.

Her on-screen chemistry with these actors are also top-notch, swooning a huge number of viewers. 

Yoona’s latest appearance in “Big Mouth” is going viral across the net, especially after she shows intense on-screen chemistry with co-star Lee Jong Suk. Compared to her initial roles, it can be seen that the idol-actress has come a long way. 

Instead of focusing on the commercial value of her projects, Yoona has always prioritized quality and self-improvement. Therefore, she was able to go from a criticized actress to a respected ones, with various successful works on both the big and small screen.
