Yoona Turns 27; Chinese Fans Celebrate By Sending Her Over 850 Million Messages
South-Korean star Yoona recently celebrated her 27th birthday on May 30. Her popularity shone out and bright, as her Chinese fans sent her over 850 million messages on Facebook-like social media platform Weibo.
According to a report published by Soompi, the actress - on the eve of her 27th birthday - received over 850 million birthday wishing messages on Weibo. The messages were tagged along with the hashtag, '#ImYoona0530HappyBirthday,' in order to streamline all the messages and ensure that they reach the star. In fact, due to a number of Weibo users who used the hashtag, the latter quickly become the third most used hashtag on Weibo. It is interesting to note how the fans from China remain unaffected by the on-going tension with South Korea existing due to THAAD. It's great to see that the discrimination is pretty much sidelined when it comes to fans enjoying art.
Adding to this, her Chinese fans even recently voted her as the top Korean female star, as reported by KoreaBoo. Separately, another report by Allkpop suggests that the JTBC's 'Give Me a Meal' member Yoona was recently spotted attending a show with Song Yoon Ah. During the on-going program, Yoona explained how she used to be the cook when the Girls' Generation group of singers were on a tour. They even lived together in dorms together and thus, rekindled a strong bond. She further went on to reveal that she moved out of the dorms approximately 5 years back and has been living with her family ever since.
After the band fell apart, things started looking very gloomy for Yoona as she would often find herself doing all by herself. However, soon afterward she was able to get her together and reach for the fame that she has today.
