Im Yoon-ah (Korean: 임윤아; born May 30, 1990), also known mononymously as Yoona, is a South Korean singer and actress. After training for five years, she debuted as a member of girl group Girls' Generation (and later its subgroup Girls' Generation-Oh!GG) in August 2007, which went on to become one of the best-selling artists in South Korea and one of South Korea's most widely known girl groups worldwide. Apart from her group's activities, Im has participated in various television dramas, notably You Are My Destiny (2008), which marked her career breakthrough and earned her the Best New Actress award at the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards.
Im has since achieved further public attention and acting acclaim[1] with a variety of role-types[2] in The K2 (2016), Big Mouth (2022), and King the Land (2023). Her film work includes Confidential Assignment (2017), Exit (2019), her first leading role, and Confidential Assignment 2: International (2022), all of which are among the highest-grossing films in South Korea. On May 30, 2019, Im released her debut extended play A Walk to Remember, charting at number three on South Korea's Gaon Album Chart.
The success of Im's music and acting careers have led her to various CF deals, notably long-term collaborator Innisfree, and have established her as a top idol-actress of Hallyu.[3]
