Girls’ Generation’s YoonA was the ultimate crush of 2nd-gen male idols.
Almost every male idol from that era named her as their favorite or ideal type, thanks to her beauty.
Members of 2PM—Nickhun, Taecyeon, Junho, and Chansung—publicly admitted crushing on YoonA. Taecyeon once revealed Junho was jealous after performing with her.
Junho and YoonA eventually starred together in the drama King the Land, sparking dating rumors due to their on-screen chemistry.
Other idols who admired YoonA include BIGBANG’s Daesung, actor Lee Joon Gi, B1A4’s Gongchan, Super Junior’s Leeteuk, and SHINee’s Jonghyun.
YoonA’s official dating history is brief. She was the first in Girls’ Generation to go public about dating, with singer-actor Lee Seung Gi. They dated from 2013 to 2015 before breaking up due to busy schedules.
She faced dating rumors with male leads like Ji Chang Wook from K2, which he denied.
“The dating rumors involving YoonA are not true. I just worked hard and, again, a lot of people came to misunderstand this time. So I thought, ‘Again?’ and just laughed…”
— Ji Chang Wook
YoonA also got caught in rumors with labelmate EXO’s Sehun after netizens confused actor Ki Do Hoon for Sehun in candid pics with YoonA.
Currently, she is reported to be single.
