Girls’ Generation's YoonA has long been active both as a singer and actress, but her recent success in 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' has reignited debate over whether she deserves the title of the top idol-turned-actor.
Her latest tvN hit drama, where she plays Yeon Ji Yeong, a French chef who time-travels to the Joseon era, has surpassed 15% viewership ratings, making it tvN's highest-rated drama this year.
With this momentum, Korean netizens are now questioning whether YoonA should be crowned the No.1 idol-turned-actor. However, opinions are sharply divided online.
While some netizens agree to praise her latest performance, some pointed out that there are stronger contenders. They commented:
"Yoona is even prettier than real actors. She doesn’t even feel like an idol; her tone is clean, and her aura is amazing."
"I don’t think she’s No.1 in acting…"
"Why leave out the fact that her latest movie completely flopped?"
"Why even rank them? From Yoon Kye Sang, Jang Na Ra, Seo Hyun Jin, Eugene, to YoonA, Suzy, Im Siwan, IU, etc., they all have good filmographies."
"Yoona actually acts well. I was surprised in 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.' She’s the best."
"She can’t do emotional acting at all, only bubbly, playful roles."
"Im Siwan is No.1."
"Acting-wise, I don’t think she’s No.1. There are plenty of other idol-actors who are better."
"What about Do Kyung Soo (D.O.)?"
"I like YoonA, but I think there are better idol actors out there."
What are your thoughts on this? Does YoonA deserve the spot as the No.1 idol-turned-actor? Let us know in the comments below!
