World star Yoona dazzles with October issue of 'InStyle'


Without realising it, she gradually changed from a ‘SoNyeo’, to one who is more suitable with the word ‘lady’. Therefore, ‘mature’ clothes now suit her pretty well. YoonA, who stands in front of the camera wearing a ‘see-through’, tells her story of being a twenty-two years old girl.


YoonA had a bite of her sandwich the moment she arrived at the studio. While putting fried potatoes into her mouth, she started mumbling,

“I arrived late from Tokyo last night. When I woke up this morning, I was preparing to come over to the shooting set. Since I didn’t get to eat, I’m very hungry now. Can I eat a little more while we’re on the set? (laughter)”

Watching her eating fried potatoes from the sandwich, and even started drinking carbonated drink, staffs asked her if she was on diet.

She said, “We are enduring this as ‘bab-shims’ (Gods of rice). On the internet, people made the ‘SNSD’s 800 calories food list’ and we don’t even know who made it. Members are all eating well, so that is not true.”, as she smiled.

Even though she’s supposed to be tired after finishing the Tokyo Dome SMTown concert, which gathered around 150,000 fans, she displayed her bright and cheerful image throughout the shoot, and gave off her charms. The one who wears a swaying see-through one-piece with good image, is none other than YoonA.

YoonA is also a world star who dominates the stages out of cities like Tokyo and Shanghai in Asia, into L.A, Paris, even New York.

“The Europeans know about us and even sing along to our songs. It was amazing. Our songs are able to move the hearts of the people in the world and in fact, they could even touch those who listen to them. With that said, i think our responsibility is also increasing. However, I’m not worried. It’s because when 9 of us are together, I believe there’s nothing that cannot be done. (laughter)”

Lately, YoonA has been indulging in cooking. She’s been learning how to cook, especially her very own “YoonA-Styled Special Steamed Chicken”, certified by other members. She thought of not only learning how to cook Korean food, but also Chinese and Japanese food. She also hinted that she is preparing to meet the people with her ‘actress YoonA’ image.

“I haven’t been participating in acting since the drama ‘Cinderella Man’ 2 years ago. I want to present more good productions that it even tickles my body!”

Even though having endless schedules and many things to do as a member of SNSD, she feels happy. That is because things that she dreamt of are coming true one by one.

After the shoots, she changed into denim pants, black T-shirts and sneakers, once again became the 23-year-old typical university student.

“Woah, it’s such a bright and beautiful day today, it seems like the Paris sky I’ve seen before.”

She said that she usually looks at the sky to calm herself down and she loves to take pictures of the sky. In addition, she said that if there is a chance, she wishes to open a photoshoot studio of her own. The afternoon when we met her, seemed as beautiful as her, as lovely as her and as dazzling as her.
