To SONEs, with nine significant
birthdays every year, you would think that birthday tributes become
repetitive and boring as the time goes by. However, when you think more
about it, with time, everyone grows and things changes; same applies to
us and especially the girls.
Growth is evident in the birthday girl
Yoona in the past year, be it in acting, singing and more. Yoona became
an all-rounded celebrity as we saw her playing the lead role in drama
‘Love Rain’ opposite Jang Geunseuk, singing and showing off her vocals
more in Girls’ Generation’s songs, modelling in magazines and photo
shoots, as well as hosting several major events in the past year.
Yoona tried her hand in acting since
2007 with ’9 Ends, 2 Outs’ to ‘Woman of Matchless Beauty’ in 2008 before
landing her first leading role in ‘You Are My Destiny’ also in the same
year and ‘Cinderella Man’ in 2009. Two years later, it was obvious to
everyone that her acting matured with her double roles in ‘Love Rain’
with Kim Yoonhee in the 1970s and her daughter Jung Hana in modern days.
The ups and downs in the lives and romance of the two women in
different ages touched many to tears as Yoona lived out her passion as
an actress.
Although she is the second youngest
member of Girls’ Generation, Yoona has a mature side to her along with
her fun-loving and bright personality. Throughout the years, Yoona had
to deal with comments and criticisms for things she did and did not do,
just because she was the face and image of Girls’ Generation. She did
not falter despite all that and when given a choice in a recent
interview, she said she would continue to play the center role in the
group.
If you check out interviews of male
celebrities in recent years, chances are that a significant number of
them named Yoona as their ideal type; Lee Seunggi, G-Dragon, badminton player Lee Yongdae
and more picked the doe-eyed beauty as their ideal types. Besides that,
her well-loved beauty has clinched her numerous CFs and endorsements,
such as cosmetic brand Innisfree and outdoor wear Eider with actor Lee
Minho, which are earning her big bucks, making her the highest earner in
Girls’ Generation.
With her popularity, looks and earnings,
one would expect Yoona to have the airs of a diva but no. Girls’
Generation has always been known as a humble and modest group despite
their achievements and it is no different for Yoona. At the end of
filming for ‘Love Rain’, she presented gifts and messages to the staff
of the drama as a sign of gratitude for their help throughout filming.
It wasn’t only ‘Love Rain’ though; in her past drama, it was revealed
that she hand wrote letters and cards for the staff and handed them
personally, showing her humble and sincere attitude.
With an individual with a heart as
pretty as her looks, it is no wonder that fans everywhere around the
world are feeling the joy of the special day, even when we are
physically far from the birthday girl. With that, it is hoped that Yoona
will be able to spend her birthday with loved ones and that she will
rest well after the long and hectic filming for ‘Love Rain’. Happy
Birthday Yoona! May this day always be a special one to remember! Hope
to see you back with your eight sisters soon!
