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.
