2012 was a busy time for Girls’ Generation’s resident actress and “CF Queen”. Yoona’s latest drama, “Love Rain”, ran from March to May of this year. It was a great opportunity for her to utilize her ever-improving acting skills. Viewers got to see two more sides of Yoona as she successfully pulled off her dual roles as “Kim Yoonhee” and “Jung Hana”. Her hard work landed her a nomination in the “2012 KBS Drama Awards”, and regardless of the results, we know that Yoona has outdone herself once again.
When she wasn’t shooting for her drama, Yoona kept herself busy with another kind of filming. In addition to the commercials with her members for products such as the GiRL de Provence perfume line and companies such as Ace Bed, Yoona was featured in numerous advertisements for Eider’s outdoor clothing and equipment and CIBA VISION’s FreshLook and DAILIES contact lenses. The fan favorite endorsement, however, might be her work with Innisfree and its interactive dance app. Any SONE will agree that an absolutely adorable dancing Yoona immediately enhances any video.
But that wasn’t all. Yoona also attended movie premieres, store openings, and fashion shows, her effortless beauty and genuine, fun personality shining wherever she went. She appeared on “Strong Heart”, adding her goodbye to the special farewell episode for Super Junior’s Leeteuk before he enlisted in the army. At the “SMTOWN Live World Tour III” concerts, Yoona helped represent Girls’ Generation in the highly anticipated dance battle, showing off her own incredible moves. Just this month, she was selected to be an MC at KBS’s Gayo Daechukje song festival in late December: another role that she successfully filled.
When she first debuted, Yoona was known simply as “the face” of Girls’ Generation. But if 2012 has shown anything, it’s that Yoona can be anything she wants to be.
