In her youth, YoonA has proven to be the 'best actress of 2025' both in name and reality. On the 6th, she attended the 'Asia Artist Awards' (hereafter 'AAA 2025') held at the National Stadium in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and drew attention with her unique, elegant presence. At the award ceremony, she was recognized for her acting transformation as Jung Seon-ji in the movie 'The Devil's Deal' and her central role as Yong Ji-young in the tvN drama 'The Chef of Tyrant,' winning the grand prize of 'Best Actress in a TV Series' along with the 'AAA Best Artist Award' and 'AAA Asia Star Award,' achieving a triple crown honor. YoonA stated, 'This year, I was able to greet everyone through the movie 'The Devil's Deal' and the drama 'The Chef of Tyrant,' and it feels even better to have this opportunity to greet those who loved both works.' In particular, regarding her grand prize win, she expressed, 'I was very happy to receive so much love for 'The Chef of Tyrant.' This work was very interesting in that food served as a medium for communication, and I experienced the power of food culture to unite everyone. I truly thank those who watched it. I would be happy if you continue to watch my activities in the future,' while also expressing gratitude to the production team, staff, and fans of 'The Chef of Tyrant,' heating up the venue. In the movie 'The Devil's Deal,' released in Korea in August, YoonA portrayed Jung Seon-ji, who has completely different appearances day and night, with shocking visuals and realistic emotional expressions, receiving praise as 'a new discovery of YoonA.' In the drama 'The Chef of Tyrant,' she played Yong Ji-young, a French chef who time-travels to the past, perfectly depicting the 'survival story of struggling alone' in an unfamiliar era, as well as a delightful yet bittersweet romance with Lee Hong (Lee Jae-min) in her own unique style, earning her the title of 'irreplaceable actress.' YoonA's achievements and the strength of the 'global box office queen' are evident as 'The Chef of Tyrant' achieved the highest ratings among mini-series aired this year. It also ranked first for two consecutive weeks in the Netflix Global TOP 10 TV (non-English) category, loved by viewers worldwide. With steady transformations and challenges, YoonA continues to build her own filmography while breaking new records, raising expectations for how she will captivate the public again in the future. YoonA is scheduled to hold 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty YOONA DRAMA FANMEETING' (YoonA Drama Fan Meeting for 'The Chef of Tyrant') in Bangkok on the 13th and in Seoul on the 20th, spending special time with her fans.
