Yoona has been cast in the Korean-Chinese film, “Goodbye Ani”, playing the lead female role of “Ani”. This will be her first time on the big screen since her acting debut eight years prior. Yoona turned down the offer of being the female lead in KBS 2TV’s “Nodame Cantabile” in order to accept this upcoming movie role.
Taiwanese actor Eddie (Yuyan) Peng, who was the male lead in the Korean/Taiwanese crossover movie, “Scent of Love”, is in discussions to co-star with Yoona in “Goodbye Ani”. Filming for “Goodbye Ani”, which was deemed the project with the most potential for investment at the 2009 Shanghai International Film Festival, is set to begin later this year.
