Girls’ Generation member and actress YoonA recently opened up about traveling solo for the first time, sharing a heartfelt and relatable story that caught fans’ attention.

On January 7, YoonA appeared on Hyeri’s YouTube channel, where the two stars had a casual and honest chat. During their conversation, YoonA revealed how stepping out of her comfort zone gave her a new perspective on life.

"I recently traveled alone for the first time", YoonA began. "I went to take a flight by myself, and so many thoughts crossed my mind. The fact that I had never traveled solo before really made me reflect. I felt like there are still so many things I don’t know."

She went on to share her unique experience, saying, "I drove by myself, took the flight alone, and even rode the airport bus. It felt so unfamiliar because no one cared about me at all, but I was the only one feeling super self-conscious. It made me realize I’ve been restricting myself in a lot of ways".

YoonA admitted that the solo trip gave her a fresh perspective. "It was such a simple thing, but it felt so meaningful to me. I started thinking about how I could live more freely."

Meanwhile, YoonA is gearing up for an exciting year ahead. She’s set to star in the upcoming tvN drama The Tyrant’s Chef, which is scheduled to air next year.

Fans are also eagerly awaiting her reunion with Exit director Lee Sang Geun in the highly anticipated film The Devil Moved In, slated for release in 2025.

YoonA’s story has inspired fans, showing that even a superstar can grow and learn from the little moments in life.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
